Who will win Today's Matchup between the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers?
 

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers (45-19) at New Orleans Hornets (43-20)
Friday Mar 14th, 8:00 pm ET, NBALP

Richard (0-0)

The Hornets are a great team; Byron Scott may be Coach of the Year and Chris Paul is a deserving MVP candidate. Their up-tempo style was too much for the aging Spurs on Wednesday night but if there’s one team they need keep up with it’s the Lakers (17-3 in their last 20). Last time they met, the Hornets looked washed up as the Lakers scrubbed them out in a 29-point trouncing in New Orleans Arena. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Rob (0-0)

Chris Paul was unstoppable in Wednesday's game vs. the Spurs and Tony Parker. Now imagine what Paul will do to a Derek Fisher or Jordan Farmar. Beyond Paul, the Hornets have an all-star in David West, and Tyson Chandler will be much too quick for the stone-footed Pau Gasol. With Peja and MoPete on the wings, the New Orleans Hornets have the perfect balance of power, athleticism and sharp-shooting, not to mention enough athletic wings, such as Wright and Wells to hassle Kobe Bryant.
My Pick: Lakers 118 - Hornets 112 My Pick: Hornets 112 - Lakers 109

Player to Watch
by Rob
Player
of the Week
 

Michael Beasley
PF | Kansas St. Wildcats| Washington, D.C.| Height: 6-10 | Weight: 235 lbs.

A rare blend of power and athleticism, Michael "Beastly" is every scout's pick to be drafted #1 overall in the upcoming NBA draft. Beasley is averaging 26.5 points and 12.5 rebounds, tops in the nation and took home 17 of 19 first place votes to be elected the AP Big 12 Player of the Year, the second freshman ever to do so (Kevin Durant being the first). Beasley had 26 double-doubles (NCAA freshman record), scored 44 points in a game (Big 12 record), and his scoring average is on the verge of breaking the Big 12 record. Watch Beasley dominate the court in the Big 12 tournament this week on Jacked.com, as he tries to lead his team to the NCAA tournament starting with Texas A&M today.

NBA: Orlando Magic (42-24) at Miami Heat (11-52)
Friday Mar 14th, 7:30 pm ET, NBALP

Two seasons removed from being NBA champs, the Heat no longer have Shaq’s inside presence, they’ve lost Wade to season-ending surgery, and their starting counterpart to Orlando All-Star Dwight Howard is backup center Mark Blount – who?! Miami might suffer a beating so bad they’ll get docked 2 losses! Wait a second…there’s a bright side here…they already played their “Take 2 Losses in 1 Day” card last Saturday!

What can I say – I’m a glass half full kind of a guy.
