The new year dawns upon us with greater joy and hope. Hopefully, this will bring an ultra competitive sense upon all the teams and make this season a memorable one. Lets us move on to the games.
Chicago Bulls(12-17) @ Detriot Pistons(11-20):-
Bulls will win. Bulls have been playing better in the last six games, and Tyrus Thomas' return had indeed boosted their defense and their energy levels. Derrick Rose is playing like he is supposed to and Bulls are sticking together. Pistons, on the other hand, have lost 8 straight. Return of Rip Hamiltion, Prince and Ben Gordon, have not improved them much. They have to play Charlie V more, if Detriot wants to improve.
Dallas Mavericks(22-9) @ Houston Rockets(19-13):-
Mavericks will win. Houston is a very good blue collar team and they ride on their home crowd. But Mavs are too deep, with Drew Gooden being back.
Miami Heat(16-13) @ San Antonio(18-11):-
Spurs will win. Spurs are bonding now and with a healthy Ginobli, they cause a lot of matchup problems. Miami is coming off a loss to Hornets. Miami has always struggled at San Antonio. Wade needs to be Wade of 08-09 season, if Miami has any chance of winning.
Utah Jazz(18-13) @ Oklahoma City Thunder(17-14):-
Thunder will win. Although have a perennial All-star in Williams, Jazz are a terrible road team. They are coming off a hard fought road win over the lowly TWolves. OKC are riding on a five game winning streak and Durant is playing like an All-star. Jazz can not defend the perimeter game of OKC and Durant will have a field day.
Philadelphia 76ers(9-22) @ Los Angeles Clippers(13-18):-
76ers will win. Philly has already proved me wrong twice. Hopefully they prove me right this time. 76ers are riding a two game winning streak, on the road, and will look to closeout their road trip on a high. Their backcourt of Iverson and Lou Williams is lightining quick. Elton Brand is playing very well off the bench and will look to dominated his old team. Clippers are coming off a loss at Portland. Clippers do not play team ball and they jack up a lot of contested shots. This will be a hard fought match.
