Calling a lot of slams this week, but many of the picks are not easy. The next 6 weeks are the best time in the NBA.

If all goes according to plan I'll be in the stands at the Thunder vs. Nuggets game on Sunday. Should be a really fun match-up with the bonus of Russ Westbrook playing good, competitive basketball again.
