Haha i wish, the only reason i say that is because he is so competitive and everytime i pick the Bobcats to loss they always win so my theory is MJ reads my blogs and uses it to pump D.J. Augustin and Boris Diaw & company up before there big games like tonights big one against MJ's former team, in which you all know i picked the Bulls to win and of course they didnt, BUT on the other hand i picked the Hawks to beat the Heat and they did even with LeBron James aka Mike Lowry. Since the only NBA games on tv tonight were on NBA TV and NBA league pass i settled for the MSU vs. Illinois game in which i picked Illinois to upset Michigan State, i was big on both these teams earlier in the year i just think this game came down to who shot the ball better at the start of the first half MSU was hitting their jumpers and 3 pointers but as the Illinois defense wore em down and kept forcing them to take bad shots they lost there touch on their jumpers, it was back and forth in the first half until Illinois got a 5 point lead a big first half differnce maker was Brandon Paul he had 17 points and a huge block in the first half, and it really looked like Illinois could run away with it and go into half time with a big lead but they had back-to-back turnovers that lead to Spartan points and ended the half only up 4, 37-41. Illinois held on in the second half and shot lights out to win by 9. As i say everytime i watch Illinois they shoot lights out from beyond the arc and can shoot inside as well they dont have a really tough big man if you ask me Tisdale is a big guy and he is pretty big for his height but i still think if you put em against a Florida State or a Pitt they would get dominated inside and not be able to keep up kinda like Duke when they played FSU.
Earlier today i was watching Outside the Lines and it was about when Jim Joyce blew Galarragas perfect game (im not sure i spelt his name right but i think i got it) and it got me thinking how quickly sports fans forgave him when did the right thing by saying he was wrong and saying sorry and showing how much he really cared and how it really effected him, if atheltes who mess up would only take this same road i think they would find that we would be quick to forget there blemishes, take steroids or DUI or things along those lines, was it wrong yes are we hurt that you did it, yes, but can we forgive you once we know you are sorry and know you did wrong, yes as long as it doesnt happen again and we can see that you actually mean what you say. Stop all this im innocent i never did that what are you talking about stuff cause we know its a lie. We take it as an insult or at least i do, lets take steroids for example...If you test positive for something then chances are your taking it and you know about taking too...none of this o well my trainer gave me this cream with no label and i thought o why not...OR my doctor perscribed it so i know its ok BS that everyone seems to give. Look what happened when a few guys maned up and just said yea i did it, it was a huge mistake but it happened im sorry I wont do it again please forgive me, and all is well with those guys! I just dont get it, i mean your gunna end up in court over it and even then you STILL try and pull off the lie, seriously guys?
Anyways lets get to my NBA picks for tomorrows games, i went 1-1 today. Tomorros first game is The Suns at the Cavs and the suns have had some nice games recently beating the Knicks most recently so i am going to go ahead and take them over the Cav's here. The Jazz are at New Jersey i ma gunna take the Jazz coming off a bad loss to Washington i think they will wanna make a statement in this one i look for them to have a big win against the Nets. The Sixers are playing in Orlando and the Magic are coming off a tough loss in Boston and i think they will wanna get back to their winning ways and i think they will tomorrow against the Sixers. Boston has another home game against the Pistons who have been playing well but now that KG is back in that line up it makes it really tough for me to pick against the Celtics espeically at home so i am taking them in a big win over the Pistons. The Grizzlies are playing the Hornets in New Orleans i know the Grizzlies are coming off a bad showing against the Bulls and i know they have a real quality back court with all there guards, and they are really looking for a win over a quality team i am taking the Grizzlies to pull the upset in New Orleans and beat the Hornets. Washington plays the Bucks on the Bucks home floor i am hoping for my man Blatche to have another huge game like he did against the Jazz and boost the Wizards to their 2nd straight win. The Knicks play the Rockets in Houston and surprise surprise i am going with Spike Lee and his Knickerbockers to come away with a win and a much needed one at that. The Raptors go on the road to face the Spurs and my man Tony is coming off a huge game where he dropped 30 and i dont see him or the Spurs cooling down anytime soon especially against Toronto at home I'll take the Spurs. The Lakers are playing the Mavericks in Dallas and it would be huge if the Mavericks could come away with a win here but the Lakers are rolling right now coming off a huge win agains the Thunder and the Mav's seem to be falling off the face or the earth, i am really hoping Mark Cuban is as mad about this as i am, and i hope he gets a scoring point guard in there soon or someone else that can score they arent gunna win with kidd putting up 0 points, Dirk cant do it by himself. The Thunder play in Denver against Melo and the Nuggets i think the Thunder are looking to get back to winning and they will do so against the nuggets i think that Westbrook will have a huge game agains the Nuggets and Durant too but that usually goes without saying. Portland in Sacramento for the first 8 o'clock (mountain time) game tomorrow night, i know Roy is out for the Blazers but i still think they can come away with the W tomorrow night against the Kings. The Pacers are going to travel to play Golden State in what could be a great game i think the Pacers have been playing good as of late and i hope Dorell Wright has a great game but i am picking the Pacers to win on the road. Last but not least is the T-Wolves vs. the Clippers and the Clippers have been playing great at home so i am taking them over the T-Wolves in the last game tomorrow. I would go over my NFL stuff now but i am gunna save it for tomorrow morning when i wake up.
