My Daily Pick - Thu 05/13


Last Night's Drive: Kevin Garnett

Final Line: 18 Points + 6 Rebounds + 1 Assists = 25 PRA

My Celtics are a championship team. Some people say that they are old (i agree) but they have lots of experience. The Cavs had a great regular season but they don't seem to be consistent in the playoffs. They have the MVP but you only win a championship with teamwork. They didn't find a way to stop Rondo and Pierce and Ray did what they know best: score. Doc Rivers is the best coach in the NBA. Reads the game like nobody else. Amazing!!!

Points: 743 | Rank: 6.117 | Percentile: 77 %

Today I'm Driving With: Lebron James

The world calls him "The King". Lebron is one of the best players, but he's not a king. He needs rings, victories, championships...In my opinion he will get there (but not this year, not with Cleveland and surely not with Mike Brown) The cavs are probably going down tonight and we all need to play James. My feeling is that he will have a monster game but Celtics will prevail because they are a much better team!

My Daily Pick - Mon 05/10


Last Night's Drive: Tony Parker

Final Line: 22 Points + 5 Rebounds + 5 Assists = 32 PRA

Sorry for missing a couple of picks. My soccer club (Benfica) won the championship here in Portugal and I have been drunk since then :))
This pick was a nice move. Parker had a solid scoring game (best of the Spurs) and I used the big 3. The Suns are playing great basketball!!
(what about Dragic's 4th quarter in game 3? and the job done by Dudley all the series?) We are going to have a great conference West finals.

Points: 697 | Rank: 5.743 | Percentile: 78 %

Today I'm Driving With: Al Horford

I don't believe in the Hawks (magic 4-0) and maybe the Jazz get the W today (that will allow me to pick Millsap in game 5) So, I have 2 options, Jamal or Horford...I'm going by stats here. Horford has better numbers even with a terrible matchup with Howard. Lets see how it goes!
