NBA Pickem Week 17: Crooked Rim Edition: There are eight NBA games on this week's slate, beginning Tuesday night with a TNT doubleheader and ending with games on ABC Saturday and Sunday. I reclaimed the contest lead through the power of homerism when Mavericks beat the Heat last night. The_Black_Hand wins the week with 68. Make your picks and keep a close watch on your backboard and stanchion.

The epitome of homerism is when you cite the results of a matchup that didn't occur, lol. This could be a rocky week as some of these teams figure to be active as the trade deadline approaches.

Ha! I even watched the game. If Trae Young keeps shooting like that he'll play himself right out of Miami.
