Bulls @ Jazz: Remember when these two franchises met in the Finals in back-to-back years? Both these teams have some offense problems. You could easily just add a Vince Carter or AI to them since all their scoring is by committee. But with Boozer out and Curry traded, it's not the case here. We are predicting this Jazz team to struggle on Sunday against the Kings, expect them to break out today and win. Predicted Score: Utah wins 83-80 Rockets @ 76ers: Two of the most one-manned teams in the latter years have been run by T-Mac and AI. Iverson is having a year where he is attempting over 26 shots a game and is scoring nearly 34 a night, both career highs. Yet his year is lost to Kobe's one-for-all Lakers team as is McGrady's thanks to injury. This should be a sellout in most places, but I'm not so certain in Philadelphia. Predicted Score: Philadelphia wins 103-99 Celtics @ Heat: So who did Boston get to better improve their frontline? Michael Olowokandi. And with Raef LaFrentz taking outside shots this should be a rare game where Shaq avoids foul trouble. Paul Pierce will need a Vince Carter-like performance in Miami to win. Predicted Score: Miami wins 104-79 |
