Sunday's Picks

It's nice to see Sean May trying to get himself into shape by doing push-ups, but c'mon dude...during a game?! No wonder why the Bobcats are playing grotesque basketball. They lost their 7th straight at home to Toronto last night.

Home Team in CAPS


Ant's Picks:

Last Night: (6-4-1); Week: (20-24); Month: (38-45); Season: (150-136)

• MIAMI -9 over Washington - *Shaquille O'Neal, Jason Williams Questionable
• New Orleans/Oklahoma City +5.5 over SACRAMENTO - *Bonzi Wells Questionable*
• HOUSTON -6.5 over Portland
• Detroit -3.5 over CLIPPERS - *Corey Maggette Doubtful*

Paul's Picks:

Last Night: (6-4-1); Week: (21-23); Month: (43-40); Season: (149-137)

• MIAMI -9 over Washington - *Shaquille O'Neal, Jason Williams Questionable*
• SACRAMENTO -5.5 over New Orleans/Oklahoma City - *Bonzi Wells Questionable*
• HOUSTON -6.5 over Portland
• Detroit -3.5 over CLIPPERS - *Corey Maggette Doubtful*

--The Heat have absolutely owned the Wizards recently, capitulating in their 4 game sweep in the Conference Semifinals last year with a beat up Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal. Wizards look completely lost right now. MIA 109-92

--The Kings always blow away the Hornets at Arco and actually looked like a team playing with a sense of urgency last night now. If Bonzi Wells can step up consistently just like he did in Seattle, the Kings might have the leader they've been lacking. SAC 104-91

--McGrady is back and looking healthy, and that alone is enough to get the Rockets on the right track. People tend to forget this team started 4-11 last year, so there's no need for dire concern just yet. HOU 92-82

--I think the Clips got their big win of the weekend last night-- taking 2 in a row without Maggette against the league's hottest teams is a bit too much to ask. Business as usual for Detroit. DET 102-98
