On a night where there is no good college basketball on because of the fucking X-Games, I'd like to direct your attention to the NBA. The Wizards and taking on the ultra hot New Jersey Nets. The Wiz are coming in losers of 4 straight have obviously begun "operation draft John Wall." The Net's backed into a win the other night versus the Clippers, but made it clear by starting 0-18 that they are part of the John Wall sweepstakes and are obviously in it to win it. This type of game only happens once or twice every five years. Both teams will be actually trying to lose. Normally it's just one team lethargically tossing up 3 pointers and picking their noses on defense, but this time they both will be. It's the perfect storm. It's always so boring to watch one team try to win and the other try to lose, but I'm interested to see the tactics they'll use, and the post game reactions. I bet the team that loses goes off the court smiling and taunting the winning team. This game could actually get really physical, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fight. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.
I actually know who is going to win, so if you're a gambler, bet the house, car, boat, child, everything you have on the Nets to win this game. They're sittin pretty at 4-40, while the Wiz have some work to do at 14-30. The Nets are vulnerable because they let their guard down and beat the Clippers 2 nights ago, and you know Kris Humphrey's felt like Superman after carrying the load in that victory. My guess is the entire organization was like, "What the fuck is Kris doing guys? He's blowing it!" as he poured in a career high 25 off the bench. I bet when they told him to go in the game he was thinking to himself, "Alright Kris, your time to shine. Show em what you can do." Anyway the spread is Nets +3.5. If you're into gettin rich, take that bet.
