Best: Spurs @ Heat: Another tough game for Miami who has faced a ton of quality teams lately. I don't understand why Manu Ginobili isn't starting. He's been coming off the bench for the past month; surely he has to be healthy by now. They may be better than the Mavs yet they can't slouch. The win/loss difference is too slim and the Spurs will need this game more than the Heat. Predicted Score: San Antonio wins 98-92
Runner-up: Raptors @ Sonics: Two of their worst at defense and best at offense. Both teams threw up over 120 points each the last time they met. Seattle is like a car; it might be a Mercedes Benz but they still need a key to start it, and although Jerome James was a small part, he was the key to their victory. God that was a lame analogy.
Predicted Score: Toronto wins 118-113
Blowout: Nets @ Celtics: Vince Carter and Paul Pierce are both playing arguably their best basketball this season. Poor Pierce doesn't have enough around him. If he had Jefferson and Kidd his team would be leading the division. It's doubtful Delonte West will handle Jason Kidd properly.
Predicted Score: New Jersey wins 99-82 |
