I’m highly anticipating the Ravens vs. Titans clash this Saturday.  Both of these teams are known for their tight defense. 

The Raven’s linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed are two very physical guys who understand smart defense and will give Kerry Collins and the Titan’s Offense a difficult time to score.  Ed Reed tore Miami apart last weekend with 2 picks and a return TD.  Both of these playesr have been a huge contribution to Baltimore still leading the league in turnovers and interceptions, and 6 returns for touchdowns.  

I expect this game to be low-scoring and close.  I vote for Baltimore to take this game.

After the Warriors’ defeat in LA last week, tonight’s game in Oracle Arena was a highly anticipated game for Warriors fans to see their beloved team redeem themselves.

Surprisingly, the Warriors climb back to a 6 point lead in the 3rd qarter after being down 15.  But the Lakers prove to be a 4th quarter team again and finish with a 114-106 win.  It was another edge-of-the-seat game to watch, but after tonight, I wondered if our dream of playoffs this year had gone down the drain - Brandon Wright with a partially dislocated shoulder, Stephen Jackson still injured, Monta Ellis still regretting the summer day he rode his moped.  I really dont think Maggette, Biedrins, and Crawford can carry the weight of our team any further. On a brighter note, 17 of the next 25 games will be played at home.  Let’s keep fighting guys.

The games like tonight are the ones when I realize I miss Baron Davis.

I just looked at the last 6 weeks and the Falcons have a good chance to win on the road.   Here’s why:

1. The Cardinals are playing some bad football.  Out of the last 6 games, they only beat the Rams and the Seahawks.  Both teams are terrible.
2. Out of the other real competitions, the Cardinals got spanked by the Patriots, Vikings, Eagles, and the Giants.  All playoff teams, well, except for the Patriots but they should’ve been in the playoffs.
3. On the other hand, the Falcons beat the Vikings, Bucs, Chargers, and even the Panthers in the last 6 games!
4. Anquan Boldin is questionable, but most likely will play.  How effective is he going to be though?  That’s the question…

Should be close though.  I am hoping for some mad offense and turn this game into a shoot out.

As if losing to the Bobcats wasn’t embarassing enough, the Warriors went to Minnesota and lost to the Timberwolves today.  Yes, the Timberwolves.  I didn’t think that was possible.

I seriously don’t think that the Warriors are actually this bad, but there’s not much you can do when you keep turning the ball over.  It’s almost like Stephen Jackson liked the Twolves jersey more.

I think it’s time for all the Warriors fans, including myself, to accept that the 2006 playoffs team is long gone.  Guys, we are back to rebuilding.  I hope this time we won’t have to wait another 13 or 14 years.

Does anyone remember this ex-Warrior?

Wow!  I just checked the lines for the NFL games for this weekend, and ALL the home teams are home underdogs.  Amazing.  But then on second look, none of the home teams look that good.  Cardinals?  Dolphins?  Chargers? Vikings?  Not sold on any of them.

• I really don’t think the Cardinals would even make it out of the NFC West had Mike Singletary been the 49ers head coach all season.  Plus, they haven’t been playing very well.

• The Dolphins can’t stand up to the mighty Ravens defense.  The TWICE comeback player of the year, Chad Pennington, can only go so far.  Seriously, how does someone win comeback player of the year twice?  You come back once, leave, and come back again?

• The Chargers offense is good, but Indy is experienced and ex-Superbowl Champs. This year’s LT is not the same LT.  I should know… he was on my fantasy team!

• The Eagles are red hot.  The Vikings are not.  And Pat Williams has a broken bone in his right shoulder.  And the Vikings can’t even sell out their first home playoff game in the last 8 years.  And the Vikings haven’t even been to the playoffs since 2004.

Hmm… betting on 4 road teams might be kind of crazy though.  I gotta be missing something here.
