* Record 4-1* I can’t lie, I’m feeling good right now. Riding a three game win streak, let’s keep the money pouring in. Tonight is going to be tough. The Raptors host the Heat with the series tied at 2-2 and the Trail Blazers venture to Oakland facing a possible elimination game. Let’s see what I can do. Miami Heat @ Toronto Raptors The Raptors will again be without center Jonas…
*Record 3-1* Last night was close… too close. But that’s the thrill of gambling. I had to frantically watch as both my picks barely covered the spread in overtime. By the skin of my teeth. When it was all said and done, I may or may not have had a little Jerry Maguire moment. Alas, I have more work to do and tonight we have the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs battling it out…
*Record 1-1* After a weekend hiatus from NBA predictions, I’m back and better than ever. The first matchup tonight will see the Miami Heat trying to defend their home court against the Raptors and even up the series at two a piece. Moving to the West Coast, Golden State ventures to Portland to redeem themselves after a 120-108 loss. Lets get right into it. Toronto Raptors @ Miami Heat After…
Weekly power rankings are ubiquitous in every sport. Yet how come I’ve never seen power rankings of teams across sports? I thought of this while watching the Golden State Warriors play the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 3 last night. Though they lost, I think the Warriors are clearly the best team in sports (in America at least) based on what they have accomplished over the last one to two…
The Indiana Pacers decision to let Frank Vogel walk may have been questionable, but when I first heard of the Memphis Grizzlies choice to fire head coach Dave Joerger, I thought it was deplorable. However, apparently Joerger was trying to work his way out of Memphis, which makes it understandable for Memphis’s front office to be ticked off. With that said, this development will set the Grizzlies franchise back and…
Tonight’s playoff match ups see Spurs on the road at Oklahoma City, with the series tied at 1-1, and the Cavaliers visiting the Hawks in Atlanta up two games to none. King James & Company look to squander the Hawks’ comeback aspirations by going up 3-0, a deficit no team in the NBA has been able to come back from. As for the Thunder, they look to build off Monday’s…
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis has been in the news recently because he is seriously considering moving the Raiders to Las Vegas. I’ve heard the NFL is not to keen on this idea, but I like it for a few reasons. One, I was in the Bay Area earlier this year for a Warriors game and I could not help but notice what a dump the O.co Coliseum is. No wonder…
May the Fourth be with you. If you haven’t noticed the countless Twitter posts or reminders on SportsCenter, today is May 4th. A day where Star Wars nerds far and wide join together to pay homage to one of the greatest movie series in history. I grew up on Star Wars. Kick-ass light saber fights coupled with blaster pistols and huge explosions captivated me. However, after the Revenge of the…
As the Portland Trailblazers battle the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals, the Los Angeles Clippers and their fans must be miserable. Injuries to their two star players–Chris Paul and Blake Griffin–not only derailed their chances of beating the Blazers, but an opportunity to knock off the Stephen Curry-less Warriors as well. To say that nothing goes right for the Clippers is an understatement. Even after climbing out…
With two game sevens on the slate today, here are my picks as to who will advance to the semis. Note– The team I pick to cover has the spread listed beside their name.
