- WEEK 5 PREDICTIONS -

WRITTEN BY: STEPHEN A. KELLERMAN

Man oh man, a 3-2 week for me bringing my total prediction record to 12-6. It's pretty damn good but I expect to be on fire for this Sunday. Although there are 3 teams that have not yet stepped foot on a ETBL court...I am confident my prediction will be bang on. Commish told me that people were trying to find out who I was. Do not worry about who I am and just play your butts off for Christ's sake.  

615PM LAKERS vs SONICS

SONICS +9 - The Sonics will get their first win easily. Lakers haven't played in 2022. Take that in for a moment. Sonics will be hungry will the Lakeshow will be the fakeshow. 

645PM NETS vs RAPTORS

RAPTORS +13 - Gogs and company will look to keep it going after their first win. Too much speed n skill for the Nets to handle. This one could be ugly. 

715PM HAWKS vs HEAT

HEAT +15 - The young guns like to get out and run but the Heat won't give up too much. If the Hawks hit their outside shots, kill it in transition, and make their freethrows...they will still lose by 5+. 

745PM BOBCATS vs WOLVES

BOBCATS +11 - Christian Casimier makes his debut and he gon be too big for the Wolves to handle. Gelo will have to come up with a gameplan for him. Either way he gon stuff the stat sheet.  

815PM THUNDER vs PISTONS

THUNDER +9 - This matchup is interesting. But Janath gonna put on a show for the fans and he brought fireworks too.

845PM KNICKS vs JAZZ

KNICKS +2 - Two teams that are evenly matched but I got the Knicks pulling it out in a close one. Jazz are better at FG%, 3PT%, FT% but Knicks are deeper and more athletic.

915PM CLIPPERS vs GRIZZLIES

CLIPPERS +15 - The Champs are here and always looking to make a statement. Grizz need to start hot and withstand the runs. Too much experience and poise for the Grizz to match. 

945PM HORNETS vs WARRIORS

HORNETS +1 - The Warriors have also not played in 2022. This could go either way tbh but the Hornets are probably going to come with their best in this one.
