Cocoa Butter 2008

Games have started and the matchups are in. Draft day was great and lots of enthusiastic attempts to get Hedo have occured.

Draft Day reaches as I see them:

Brandon Roy - 1st Rd.
Andris Biedrins - 5th Rd.
Rudy Fernandez - 10th Rd.
5 Rookies
Danny Granger - 1st Rd.
Crappy Kevin "I shoot 1% from the field" Durant - 5th Rd.
Brad Miller - 5th Rd.
Greg Oden - 6th Rd.
Marcus Camby - 3rd Rd.

Best Picks of the draft:

Tony Parker - 7th Rd.
Ginobili - 6th Rd.
Stephen Jackson - 6th Rd.
Ben Wallace - 13th Rd.
Steve Nash - 2nd Rd.
Russell Westbrook - 16th Rd.
Devin Harris - 5th Rd.
T.J. Ford - 8th Rd.

There are two matchups I'd like to highlight this week:

They are the ROOMMATE MATCHUP - BBB Vs. Super Troopers 5 (Loser Cleans the toilet with his toothbrush)

and Matchup of the Week is - Aegis-Fang Vs. McLovin
Can Jim's rookies put up enough to beat Aegis-Fang who hasn't lost a game since Feb. 24 2008.

Here's a list of the weekly matchups and the game count: Game count includes how many games a team can possibly get this week. Based on their team at the beginning of the week. (doesn't account for add/drops)

Game Day vs. L-view Trailblazers: 41-44 (L-view +3)
Super Troopers 5 vs. BBB: 47 - 40 (Troopers +7)
Habib's All Stars vs. Team Russell: 44 - 50 (Russell +6)
Luucious vs. They Shall Call Me#1: 42 - 45 (Me#1 +3)
Team Obiwon vs. Sweep the Leg: 43 - 44 (Leg +1)
McLovin vs. Aegis-Fang: 44 - 47 (Aegis +3)

My predictions are:
Game Day over L-view, because L-view's team sucks.
Troopers over BBB, BBB has no answer to C. Paul, and has key injuries to M. Redd/G. Oden.
Habib/Russell Draw: It's going to be a close one, and I think Russell's extra 7 games puts him ahead.
Luucious/Loren Draw: Both teams have strength in Reb/Blocks - Loren might have the advantage, but look for Luucious to win Points outright.
Leg over Obi: Iverson's out on trade, and J. Johnson/T.J Ford are playing great.
Aegis over McLovin - maybe in a week if the rookies pan out, but despite a loss of Dunleavy I give it to Aegis.
