It's NBA Playoff Time!

The dogs are barking in the first day of the 2009 NBA Playoffs, and we hear them loud and clear. That said, we have one dog for tonight. 

Mavericks +4 over the Spurs

Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs are hot, and with the Spurs playing without Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Co. might be in trouble during this series. Certainly, this game can catch them off guard. 

Our Free NBA Picks are 8-5 in 2009, which is 62%. We hope to maintain that solid percentage as we actually start playing a good chunk of games. 

Good luck and remember to make Stock Lemon your home for the 2009 NBA Playoffs!

Hornets and Mavs Go Over

We needed the Hornets and Mavs to score 193 points tonight. They scored 230.

The Hornets 127-103 victory in Game 2 of the series helped us even our playoff Free NBA Pick record back to 2-2, and our overall NBA Free Pick record to 42-22.

Thanks to countless buckets, including Chris Paul taking on Dirk Nowitzki for a lay-up, we're back up to .500 for the playoffs and hoping, oddly enough, to get back into regular-season form.

We tinkered with the numbers in the system a little bit prior to this game due to our concerns that, well, the last two Free NBA Pick losses were blowouts. We should be poised for a nice run with the updated stats added to the formula, so hop on and enjoy the ride.

Mavs and Kings For Our Seventh Straight Win

Our Free NBA Picks have been absolutely on fire having won six straight, and we're leaping for our seventh consecutive NBA win tonight.

Dallas Mavericks/Sacramento Kings Over 202

Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs should get into a shootout with Brad Miller and the Kings tonight, and we love this over/under at just 202 points. The addition of Jason Kidd helps the Mavs push the ball up the court much faster than they have been, and the books haven't quite adjusted to their faster pace. Oh, and the Kings will score sometimes, too.

Our overall Free NBA Picks record is 20-9, which is about 69%, so make this pick with confidence. Good luck!
