Can you bank on these picks? Kobe Bryant thinks so. Celebrity endorsement! You'll see why below...
Oklahoma City (-1) over INDIANA PACERS (-105)
Sure, Indiana is at home. Sure, they have a far superior point differential. Sure, they just manhandled the Legion of Doom behind Brandon Rush and T.J. Ford (of all people). Sure, John Hollinger just wrote a piece declaring that the Pacers may be more likely to make the playoffs. I spit on these facts. And then I stick my tongue out at them. I'm not talking an MJ-type tongue wave. I'm going back to the third grade and putting the scorn (and immaturity) on full throttle. The Thunder are now healthy and a better basketball team. And they're 5-1 on the road. And as of tip-off, Kevin Durant has not been traded to the Pacers.
Kobe Bryant OVER 25.5 points (-115)
Kobe has spent the last three years torching Utah. He gets to go against nemesis Raja Bell. He is averaging 25.3 points per game in limited minutes and should play more tonight because it will be a close game. And most importantly, he is due for a game where I want to throw things at the television because he is shooting too much. Bad for the Lakers. Bad for my television. Good for his point total.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS (-4.5) over Dallas Mavericks (-105)
I am a hater. I hate the Mavericks. I don't think Tyson Chandler is any good. I think Caron Butler and Shawn Marion are as redundant as they are washed-up. Even though the Mavericks internal statistics show that Jason Kidd is the best player in the history of basketball, I think he is old and slow and old. Dirk's hair looks stupid cut short. Even Birdman thinks DeShawn Stevenson has weird tattoos. Spurs win. The hate continues.
