Melo-less Knicks are lost at sea

New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Clippers
3:30 PM ET, March 17, 2013
Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
Coverage: ABC

Over the last few games the Knicks defense has simply crumbled to the ground, they have been beaten by more than 23 points in 3 of their last 5 games and to top things off, their defensive specialist Tyson Chandler is out with a knee injury and their scoring leader Carmelo Anthony is addressing a knee issue as well, although he is playing through it for what it’s worth. The Clippers smell blood in the water and they are looking to really make a statement in this game as they face on of the better Eastern Conference teams. Read the rest of this entry »

JJ Reddick faces old team so soon…

Orlando Magic vs. Milwaukee Bucks
1:00 PM ET, March 17, 2013
BMO Harris Bradley Center, WI
Coverage: FSNFL

It was less than two months ago that with only an hour left before the trade deadline expired, these two teams reached a trade agreement that would send sharpshooter JJ Reddick to Milwaukee in return for some draft picks. Ever since that time Orlando’s scoring has gone down almost 8 points a game while the Bucks are scoring 5 more in their contests. This will be the first time that Reddick will face his old team, earlier this season while he was still with Orlando they matched up with Milwaukee but lost and now he has the chance to be on the winning side.

Raptors in for a long evening

Miami Heat vs. Toronto Raptors
1:00 PM ET, March 17, 2013
Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
Coverage: TSN2

This is one of those games that Toronto wishes they could just skip, they have really not had the best year but with the addition of Gay to their roster, they are looking to go into the offseason with some momentum, while on the other hand the Heat will be looking for their 22nd consecutive win and really there is not much in Canada that can stop them from achieving that goal. This will be a big line, expect the Heat to open anywhere between -12 and -16 and as scary of a spread as that is, I really do see them covering it. Read the rest of this entry »

A big challenge for the Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers 
7:00 PM ET, March 15, 2013
Bankers Life Fieldhouse, IN
Coverage: FxMW

This will be a true test to how far along the Lakers have come and how serious they are about the postseason; beating a team like the Pacers on the road would not only boost their momentum but would give them a confidence that I don’t think they have had this season. On the other hand the Pacers are coming off a very important game of their own against the Heat, a game in which they were completely dominated from start to finish and are looking for a big game to bounce back from.

Rockets must make a statement in this one

Minnesota T-wolves vs. Houston Rockets
8:00 PM ET, March 15, 2013
Toyota Center, Houston, TX
Coverage: NBATV

This game has big postseason implications attached to it as the Lakers, Jazz and Rockets are in a full out war to see what two teams make the postseason. The race is tight and every win is just that much more important as they fight to stay alive. This will be the third and final meeting between the two teams this season and Minnesota has the upper hand; they won the last game and really gave the Rockets a run for their money in game one.

A hard last couple of weeks

Phoenix Suns vs. Atlanta Hawks
7:30 PM ET, March 15, 2013
Philips Arena, Atlanta, GA
Coverage: TSOH

This is the game that the Hawks have been waiting for, finally a bellow .500 opponent that gives them a chance to get out of the funk they have been in. The Hawks have lost 9 of their last 11 games and are plummeting out of the playoff picture like a rock falling through the sky. The Suns have had issues all season long but they seem to be getting their act together ranking up 6 wins over their last 8 games and 4 of them came against postseason teams. I expect an offensive explosion from the Hawks and I see them really taking over this game from the paint. Read the rest of this entry »

Charlotte still scaling up hill

Bobcats vs. Raptors
7:00 PM ET, March 15, 2013
Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
Coverage: TSN2

Two teams willing to do almost anything to get a win: the Bobcats are still doing their required soul searching with their young players and developing them for key roles, while the Raptors have found their star, now they must build around him and win games. This will be a great offensive game with clean play and some excellent match ups to watch, expect a fast paced up and down running game with great transition play and a few guys trying to prove themselves.

Very interesting game for the Heat

Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks
8:30 PM ET, March 15, 2013
BMO Harris Bradley Center, WI
Coverage: FSN-WI

The Miami Heat has been on a mission, beating everyone in their path and looking to make it 24 consecutive wins. The Bucks now stand in their way and this is not easy matchup, the Bucks are known to be heart breakers for fans of the big teams as they have a way of being very physical and slipping away with huge wins; Miami cannot be too confident coming into this game because they have to play lights out to get passed the Bucks.  Read the rest of this entry »

Suns look to dance with the Wizards

Phoenix Suns vs. Washington Wizards
7:00 PM ET, March 16, 2013
Verizon Center, Washington, DC
Coverage: CSNB

This game will be an excellent show of offensive sets as both of these teams love to set up their offensive attacks. It will be interesting how the forwards from each team react on defense given how they are the most used on the offensive side of the ball; I expect a lot of post-up action while getting clean looks at the rim won’t be as easy as other days. This is the first meeting of the season between the two franchises although the Suns split a two game series with Washington last season. Read the rest of this entry »

Camozzi looking to make it four in a row

Chris Camozzi vs. Nick Ring
March 16, 2013
Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Broadcast: PPV

Nick Ring is back in Canada with the UFC, coming off a solid win over Court McGee in UFC 149 in Alberta. Ring is one of the most decorated MMA fighters with 13 wins and only defeat coming last year by decision. Camozzi has looked great over his last three fights, he has mixed it up giving us a win of each: Submission, knockout and decision. Neither of these fighters has ever been knocked out in their careers, so we can expect this fight to go to the mat rather quickly where Chris is the vulnerable one with three losses on the ground to Nick’s 0.
