Ball Ballin' Preview: Beantown Baker's Dozen?


Not so much to watch out for today. It's either a bad team against a good team, or two bad teams slugging it out. So pick your poison folks.

Indiana Pacers at Boston Celtics
Basically the only storyline for the day, as the Celts try to go for their 13th straight victory. Rondo will be out, and the Big Shamrock is still questionable for the game, which means more Erden and Nate. Expect this to be  a close one as Indiana is known for upsetting the top teams in the league.

Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma Thunder
First game of the Suns after the blockbuster trade. Though Carter, Gortat and Pietrus might not be suiting up for the Suns yet. With Nash questionable from the stinger he got the last game, the Phoenix starting line-up could be Dragic-Dudley-Hill-Warrick-Lopez. Happy Holidays Arizonans.

Los Angeles Lakers at Toronto Raptors
"Money" Weems is out for the Raps, and Bargs will not be a hundred percent if ever he plays. This'll be Bynum's fourth game back, which might be the perfect game to steadily increase his minutes.

Atlanta Hawks at New Jersey Nets
Mr. Max Contract is back for the Hawks, and will be much needed for the sputtering offense of Atlanta. Though they better watch out for the Nets who just acquired Mr. Sharapova.

New Orleans Hornets vs Detroit Pistons
Detroit's bench has actually improved, with Villanueva and even McGrady providing the needed offense. The starters however are the ones starting to stink (they actually already do, they're just stinking even more). With Monty Williams finally discovering that he has a player named Marcus Thornton, this could be an easy Hornets win.

Houston Rockets vs Sacramento Kings
Injury bugs all around with Yao out for the season, and Jason Thompson of the Kings out for at least the next three games. Expect the defense of this game to, well, not exist.
