Boston v Los Angeles
Cheung: This is gonna be a hell of a game man. Kobe has the ability to be the best player in the game. The big 3 on Boston have the ability to be an unstoppable. I don't think Los Angeles has the firepower to keep up with the Celtics on an average night; HOWEVER I see Kobe going off tonight. This could be a 60 point evening. Jordan Farmar will continue his outstanding play (new member of my fantasy squad) and Lamar Odum will continue his always all around game. I see a thriller of a game tonight with the Lakers taking it on the last possesion. Lakers by 2.
Sharj: I love Kobe. The Lakers have been surprisingly good thus far (have shut up all the Kobe trade talks for now). But I disagree with Robbie, no matter how well Kobe plays...the Celtics are just too good, especially at home (6-0). I think Lamar & Kobe will be nullified by Ray and Pierce...but the real question is who will stop KG inside. Bynum has shown glimpses, but I don't know how he'll hold up under pressure on the road. If LA was at home I could've given them the edge, but I take the Celtics by 8 points at home. KG with 25 pts 20 rebs 6 assists tonight.
Charlotte v Orlando
Sharj: As talented as Charlotte may be, Orlando is the hottest team in the league. Asides from their big 3 of Dwight, Lewis and Jameer...turkoglu has been tearing it up. Orl by 12
Cheung: G-wallace is turning it up. He is putting up 27 ppg in the last few! I look for a tight matchup. Magic, will let this one slip. Charlotte by 2
Sharj: Magic are talented, well coached and hot....Van Gundy will SHUT G-Wallace down...that kid is inconsistent and over-rated
Cheung: You are inconsistent and over-rated (zing) G-Wall is MONEY.
Miami v Houston
Cheung: With Mcgrady back, Yao is a monster; however Shaq diesel and Wade are at it again. The role players decide this one and the Rocket's bench is too strong. Houston by 13
Sharj: Rockets are good...but TMac is playin hurt, he said he lost sensation in two of his shooting fingers after the game. Wade has something to prove, Miami aren't happy being 2-9...Wade will take over in the 4th, Miami by 1
Cheung: Miami is gonna get roasted yao is the new big man in the league, sensation in two fingers? What are you a Physiotherapist??
Sharj: Big daddy will go retro and shut Yao and his 1 billion fans up
Philadelphia v Detroit
Sharj: Philly is 1-4 on the road. Iguodala has struggled and hasn't been the go-to-guy Philly thought they would get so far. Detroit is too experienced, too talented and too good at home...this game is a blowout...Pistons by 18.
Cheung: Can't disagree with Sharj too much on this one. Philly straight up sucks. Andre miller has been MIA, and I see him being replaced by the up and coming Louis Williams. Iguodala will (must) have a breakout game, or I will have a fantasy basketball hernia. Pistons by 30, Iguodala has a triple double (PLEASE)
Sharj: Cheung AGREES? You must be in the Thanksgiving spirit
Indiana v Dallas
Cheung: Indy has been one of the most inconsistent teams so far, and J-O has been terrible. Dallas is back, and gonna rip Indy. Mavs by 16
Sharj: As good as Dallas is, they have been giving up big leads almost every game and are forced to make late comebacks. Dallas won't be coming back tonight, Granger and Dunleavy will have huge games tonight...Indy will sneak out a home W by 2
Cheung: I like the call on Dunleavy having a biggie, he is another member my fantasy squad and I need the numbers
Sharj: Well lets both pray for that to come true...cause I got Granger...
Cheung: So in summary, a big night for dunleavy, granger can go break a leg
Memphis v San Antonio
Sharj: Spurs losing to Memphis @ home? No chance in hell. Tony parker has been a fantasy monster baby...this boy gets more points in the paint than that Raptors centre of yours Bosh. Spurs will annihilate Memphis by 25 pts
Cheung: Gasol is showing signs of life, break out game for the big guy. Spurs still take it by 10, they have more firepower. Bosh had 18 boards last game, nuff said
Minnesota v Denver
Cheung: This is a lopsided one, Denver has the firepower. Denver by 20+ no contest.
Sharj: I hate it when we agree...Denver is too good and too deep, Denver by 15. My boy Al Jefferson will have 30 and 15 rebs...I agree no contest
Cheung: Jefferson might put up 20/10 if he is lucky. Camby is gonna send his shit back like bad food
Sharj: I can't hate on Camby (alma mater)...but Al is unstoppable, one of the most consistent big men in the league...not happening
Sacromento - Portland
Sharj: Portland showed me something against the Nets last game despite the loss. They have a good core of young players. Sac can't stop Roy and Aldridge. Portland to win by 6 at home
Cheung: Everyone who plays the Nets will show something, cuz the Nets are ass. Artest is the X-Factor, if he plays Kings by 7 if not Portland in a tight one
Sharj: Cheung at his indecisive self...pick one team. For the Nets, they showed the Raps something in the playoff last year...and no regular season defeat will make up for that...
Cheung: Even that 37 point win a few weeks back??? We'll argue this all night as you know... moving on to your beloved Nets against Seatle
New Jersey v Seatle
Sharj : No guesses here. VC is back from injury...as a result RJ, Nachbar and Antoine are scoring more and getting better looks. Kidd is Kidd as always...Mr. Triple Double. Nets will pull this one out by 5 pts. As for Seattle, they better take that skinny little boy Durant to the weight room before he floats out of Seattle on a windy day
Cheung: Get off that VC JOCK! Both of these teams are playing CRAPtacular. I could flip a coin to pick a winner. But based on my distaste for that team from Jersey: Sonics by 7. Durant puts up 30 on Carter, eat that old man
Sharj: Durant can't bench 30 lbs let alone score 30 pts
***Players to Watch Tonight***
Louis Williams, PG Philadelphia 76ers
Cheung: I saw him live in against the Raptors for the home opener. This kid is fast, if you squint and watch him you swear it is AI all over again. He can also shoot the rock going 4/4 from 3 pt in his last outing. Look for him to take time from old fatty Andre Miller.
Hedo Turkoglu, SG/SF Orlando Magic
Sharj: I gotta pick my boy and another fantasy savior of mine Hedo Turkoglu. This turkish lad has been amazing. He dropped 26, 5, 5 on the Spurs in a road loss. He has been the biggest surprise for the Magic and has taken them up a notch. I see him being a consistent impact player for the Magic throughout the season...and this boy really is a "Turkish Delight"
Cheung: Uhhh, are you still talking about his on court skills?
Sharj: Yeah we are...and I've noticed Stan Van Gundy isn't losing hair like his bro Jeff...and some of that credit can go to Turkoglu for giving Orl a good start
Other Games Tonight
Golden State v Washington
Cheung: Wiz are on a tear but GS is too deep. Golden state by 10
Sharj: I take Washington. GS is coming off a bad loss to the Celts. Wiz by 6
L.A. Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns
Cheung: Clipps are hurt, and the Suns are hurting people. Easy pick with the Suns by 17
Sharj: Clips failed to score 80 points their last game, the Suns scored 80 in the first half last game. Suns will demolish the Clips by 25 pts.
New Orleans v Utah
Sharj:I really wanted to pick the Hornets on the road for an upset, but Utah by 7
Cheung: New Orleans pulls this one out by 3 in a tight one. I hate AK 47.
