NBA Pickem Week 22: All the Marbles: There are nine games to pick in the final five days of the NBA season, beginning with Kings/Pistons Monday night on NBA TV. My lead in the standings has shrunk by 25. Ufez is only nine back. Locking the Magic to beat the Mavericks out of bitterness led to a 15-point swing against me. Make your picks.

Have to see who's playing and who's sitting before picking. It's that time of the year.

Celtics injury report looks like the casualty list from the battle of Antietam. Knicks are trying to keep their position in the standings. Warriors should have little difficulty with Suns. I saw them play last week, and most of the team has given up on the season.

Feels like Boston is going to rest a bunch of players tonight.

Gonna root for Oklahoma City and Indiana in the playoffs. Even if I was rooting for Dallas they won't make it out of the play-in.
