Mod - Week 9

Good call Lars, dedicating this weeks WDYL picks to the NBA season is a no-brainer. This season will be as good as a Robert Traylor vs. Michael Sweetney cannonball contest.

I love the Chiefs and Ron Artest to take down the NBA-less Rams. Well Kansas City doesn't currently have a team but they did have a team back in the 70's that is now in Sacramento. The Kings could surprise some people but they dont have enough weapons to contend in a loaded conference. They are caught in the middle of going for a championship and re-building. The first option is a long way away. Now St. Louis just got a World Series win but without an NBA team, your city still sucks. Go hang with Nelly and his Air Force One's you sally's.

I love the Giants and Crapsiah Dumphas over the Shing Say Yao Texans. The Knicks are headed back to the lottery and if anything... this team is going to be fun to laugh at over the year. Yeah, they are 1-0 but they beat a Memphis team that was without Gasol and played a bunch of rookies all game. Plus they blew a 19 point 4th quarter lead, now THAT's entertainment! The Rockets are in the same boat as the Kings as far as I'm concerned. Can T-Mac stay healthy? Is Yao really 7'6"? These questions need to be answered before I believe in them as a title contender.

I love the Saints and the best / team ever over the Bucs. Ok New Orleans had it rough, but having two cities for one NBA team is the most ridicoulous thing ever. Do they hold two parades in New Orleans and Ok City if they win the championship? Does Chris Paul get the key to one or two cities? Luckily we won't have to worry about answering these questions because any team with Tyson Chandler on it will never win the whole thing. Tampa Bay? Instead of building stupid pirate ships and running crappy baseball teams, try to get an NBA franchise. You're dead to me TB.

I love the Cowboys having NO WITS when they are SKIing over the Skins in the ARENAS. Ok, Dallas will be good again, Cuban will get fined huge $$, and Avery Johnson has a huge mouth. They need to win it all here soon, they are the Utah Jazz of the 2000's. Washington did nothing to change a team that has stayed the same over the past 2 years. Welcome to another first round exit Bullet fans.

I love the Jags over the Tits. I guess the Grizzlies are the closest we have to an NBA team in this matchup. Rudy Gay has the best jersey ever, imagine if his number was 69. His jersey would say Gay 69. Now that would be more entertaining than any Grizzly game this year.

I love the Ravens over the Bengals. Two cities without an NBA team? What do citizens of these cities do after football season? My guess:

I love the Packers and their friends down in Buck land over the Bills. The Bucks have one of my favorite players, Michael Redd, and while they did knock down the Pistons earlier this week, I just can't pick them to go far in the playoffs. Bogut is decent down low and Villaneuva is a nice addition, but who do they have down low that really scares anybody?

I love the Bears and the Fromen over the Dolphins. The Bulls looked amazing against the Heat and then looked equally as bad against the Magic. All homerism aside, the Bulls will be winning the NBA Title this year. Now that the homerism is aside, I can honestly say the Bulls will be winning the NBA Title this year. Phew, feels good to say that. Miami is old and fat, look at Antoine Walker. Fat, round face, and 2" vertical leap... Lars style.

I love the Falcons over the Lions. Ahh the Hawks, yup... that's all that's needs to be said about them. The Grandmahs played better as a team than the Hawks have ever done in the past 20 years. The Pistons on the other hand play great as a team but unfortunately that team includes Flip Saunders who can't do anything right. How that team didn't win it last year is a choke job in itself.

I love the Vikes and the Mad-dawgs over the 49ers. The T-wolves are going to be a lot better than a lot of experts think. I love Randy Foye as he fits the slashing guard they need. Mike James, Troy Hudson are good shooters but neither of them have the great slashing ability Foye has. If McCants was healthy all year, I could see them getting up to a #5 seed, but right now I think its a #7 or #8.

I love the Broncos and the Carmelo Bars to keep the Steelers slide going. The Nuggets are stuck in mediocrity. I kind of feel for teams like this, they draft a stud that gets them to borderline contention status but since the team already has a stud, no other studs wants to be #2 and come to Denver nor is the team bad enough to get talent through the draft. Same with Cleveland now.

I love the Chargers over the Browns and the Lebron's. The new Le-bron commercials are hilarious. Makes me wonder what MJ would have done back in the day with the current editing materials we have today. Le-bron needs one more weapon I believe before he starts his run of 9 straight years of being runner up to the Bulls in the Eastern Confernce. San Diego was once the proud city of the Clippers. That's like being the boat company that sailed the Vikings love boat. What do you do next? Do you give up on the NBA? Or do you just say the hell with it and let Fred Smoot take over as CEO and turn the ship into the Sexual Floatation. Answer: Chris Kaman.

I love the Pats and the spirit of Larry Bird to get it done against Indy and the pedestrian beaters. Ahh the Celtics, a team with one superstar, one overpaid white guard that wears #55, and one overall crappy-ass team for the 20th year in a row. Celt fans will be longing for the days of Dino Radja, Sherman Douglas, and Dee Brown after this year. So Jermaine O'Neal has been in the NBA for ten years and is only 28. I love high school draft picks. Too bad a high school team might have the same chance at winning an NBA title this year as well.

I love the Seahawks over the Raiders. The Supersonics have a great name and a great history with the likes of Detlef "Battered, fried, or boiled" Schrempf, Sam "Late Night" Perkins, Frank "Watch This" Brickowski, and Shawn "Weekend at Summer" Kemp. But, this team blows. The Warriors are a team that confuses me, I have loved their draft picks over the years and thought Baron Davis would make them a ton better. Now, the Warriors have replaced the Clippers as the "Atlanta Hawks of the West." Sucks to be you guys, LOL.
