NBA Pickem Week 9: The Warriors Are Good Again?: The NBA doesn't schedule games on Election Day, so this is a slow week with just four national TV games beginning tonight when the surprising 6-1 Warriors visit the 7-1 Celtics. Ufez Jones has taken the lead in the pickem after not locking the Celtics over the Pacers. Make your selections.

Getting two Sixers games this week on the national schedule with Joel Embiid suspended is unfortunate.

We'll be in our usual seats in TD Garden tonight for Celtics vs Warriors. This is the 1st home game following a road trip for the Cs, and that often means a sub par performance. Add to the woes that Jaylen Brown is out, so life might not be great for the home team. I still pick them because they have threatened to lift my season tickets if I don't.

Count me among those that think the Warriors have benefited from a soft opening schedule. Their upcoming stretch of @Bos/@Cle/@OKC/vs. Dal/vs. Mem will be a good opportunity for them to prove they belong in the conversation.
