Free Picks #1

Best: Heat @ Lakers: Kobe/Shaq- you know the deal. Let me describe what will happen. Kobe and Shaq are meeting at half court…there they go. They’re almost there. And…Oh, Shaq turns away from Kobe. Let’s go to the instant replay. Damn! That’s some serious cold shoulder action. I don’t believe what I just saw. And of course the series of interviews asked to the pair are just as interesting. “Have you forgiven Kobe Bryant for what he did?” “Kobe, who’s Kobe. I don’t know anyone named that.” “Kobe Bryant, your old teammate with the Lakers?” “La-la-la-la not listening. La-la-la-la can’t hear you.” Predicted Score: Miami wins 103-99

Free Picks #2

Runner-up: Pacers @ Nets: Vince Carter is making himself an all-star again and it shows in the standings. However they’ve lost some games to Indiana lately, mainly from the Pacers just being more physical. How are they going to stop Jermaine O’Neal. With all the injuries Indiana has on them, this could very likely turn into a potential playoff face-off. Predicted Score: Indiana wins 98-93

Free Picks #3

Blowout: Celtics @ Pistons: Boston is weak at the bigman positions, and now they go to a sellout crowd in Detroit to face Ben and Rasheed Wallace. Al Jefferson looks great in bits and pieces, but has overall done a poor job holding the PF position. Just a hunch, but I expect Boston to use all 12 players. Predicted Score: Detroit wins 94-77
