My Daily Pick - Fri 04/30

Last Night's Drive: Andre "The Joke" Miler

Final Line: 4 Points + 1 Rebounds + 3 Assists = 8 PRA

What a joke. Miller played 18 minutes, he went 2-10 in FGA-M. He was static all the time. Miserable performance in an elimination game. What a sad ending for Miller and the Blazers. 8 PRA is now my lowest pick...frustrating!!!

Just a quick word about the Texas series. Credit to Pop and George Hill (he was the x factor in this series). When Parker cameback from that injury Pop kept Hill in the starting lineup (he was playing very well) and that gave him a lot of confidence. Meanwhile Parker saw a lot of minutes as well. That's a great move by a great coach!

Today I'm Driving With: Joe Johnson

1st of all, I still belive in the Hawks. They have been a bad team on the road but maybe today they won't fear the deer. They need this win and they will get it. The Hawks have at least 3 more good options to pick (J.Smith, Al Horfrod and Jamal) and that is the reason that i'm picking JJ for today. And he surely wants to explode after a disappointing game at home where he was fouled out. Go JJ!

My daily Pick - Thu 04/29

Last Night's Drive: Carmelo Anthony

Final Line: 26 Points + 11 Rebounds + 2 Assists = 39 PRA

Melo had a decent night (he had 2 games in this series with 51 PRA, so...) I think he will go for better numbers in game 6. This was another bad pick cause Denver won and now i can only rely on Billups. Let's see how it goes. And what about the Hawks? With so many good players to pick they probably are going down on Milwaukee...this is really bad news!

Today I'm Driving With: Andre Miller

Two options for today. Another Mav (Pop wont let Butler do it again, Terry and Kidd 2 risky) or a Blazer. I'm going with Miller but i dont expect 2 much from him (25+ would be great). A last word for Brandon Roy: Come back next year. Fully healthy!

My Daily Pick - Wed 04/28

Last Night's Drive: Dirk Nowitzki

Final Line: 15 Points + 9 Rebounds + 2 Assists = 26 PRA

Sorry for missing the last pick. LA gave me 23 disappointing PRA. Phoenix doubled him very well during the 2nd half. Same story yesterday with Dirk :( Caron Butler was on fire!

Today I'm Driving With: Carmelo Anthony

No surprise here. It's an elimination game. I still have all the Nuggets. No George Karl...Playing against the best PG in the league...Bye Bye Denver :)

My Daily Pick - Mon 04/26

Last Night's Drive: Joakim Noah

Final Line: 21 Points + 20 Rebounds + 1 Assists = 42 PRA

Noah had a great game in a day where Wade (14%) exploded for 56 PRA. So I'm kinda happy with this pick. With Denver going down 3-1 the best pick of yesterday was Melo with 51 PRA. I need to pick him and Dirk asap.

Points: 303 | Rank: 6.940 | Percentile: 68 %

Today I'm Driving With: LaMarcus Aldridge

I'm a fan of great D. That's why i really like the Blazers. They are a pretty solid team. The problem here is that Phoenix have homecourt advantage and they will shoot a lot better than they did in the last game (only 89 pts). I'm going with LA because i think Roy will not have more than 30 minutes.

My Daily Pick - Sun 04/25

Last Night's Drive: Gerald Wallace

Final Line: 13 Points + 8 Rebounds + 2 Assists = 23 PRA

I can live with this result. Jennings (17%), Durant (17 %) and Westbrook (10 %) had a quiet night (blowout games) and the best pick was Lamarcus Aldridge (45 PRA) but Portland won...The rest is all bad news. Thunder tied the series (more than a game 4 this was a test for the Lakers and they manage to get a big L, i'm now concerned) Bucks made 2-1 and Phoenix are tied again with the Blazers (Roy is back).

Today I'm Driving With: Joakim Noah

I really don't know what to expect from the Texas series and the Nuggets with Jazz. It's very hard to predict at the moment and i dont see a good pick in Miami besides D-Wade (already picked) so i will continue to play safe with a Bulls player.
