Who cares about predictions about playoff seeds or projected team records when you can find out how each and every game is going to go down? Amongst a sea of speculation and guesses, only Free Darko has the stones to tell you how exactly how this season is going to unfurl. Over the next few days, we will be previewing all 1,230 games. Today we take a look at February. Past previews can be found here.
Feb 01 Minnesota @ Boston - Keeping his word that last year's championship was "for 'Sota," KG makes both teams play with the ball on top of the LOB. The game finally slows to a pace Kevin Love can handle.
Feb 01 Orlando @ Toronto - Jermaine O'Neal psychs himself up for the game by telling himself that Stuff, Orlando's vastly inferior dinosaur mascot, doesn't deserve to jump off the same trampoline as the Raptor.
Feb 01 Cleveland @ Detroit - After that Game 5, expectations for LeBron in Detroit will always be too high. So it's a little disappointing when he goes for 26 and leads the Cavs to a 88-83 win.
Feb 01 Oklahoma City @ Sacramento - Durant and Martin face off in one of the most impressive duels of the season, with both players scoring 40 points. Except Martin takes fifteen fewer field goals.
Feb 02 Dallas @ Orlando - Jason Kidd passes the ball off the backboard to Dirk for an open 17-footer.
Feb 02 Memphis @ Washington - Upset that they never played together at USC, Nick Young and OJ Mayo devise a plan to team up during the game. They refuse to pass to each other and finish with their averages.
Feb 02 L.A. Clippers @ Miami - Chris Kaman becomes interested in the more alternative sort of South Beach nightlife and attends a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He wears no costume, but the crowd mistakes him for the actor who played Riff Raff and buys him drinks the entire night. The next day, he fouls out in 15 minutes.
Feb 02 L.A. Lakers @ New York - With the Watchmen premiere just over a month away, Kobe pretends he's Rorschach and starts acting out his favorite scenes around New York. He imagines MSG is Ozymandias's lair and scores 55 in the win.
Feb 02 Portland @ New Orleans - Oden and Chandler make a pregame bet to see who can score on nothing but dunks. Oden loses when he blocks a Julian Wright runner into the basket on the other side.
Feb 02 Sacramento @ Phoenix - Spencer Hawes passes his time on the bench by leering at Cindy McCain from across the court.
Feb 02 Charlotte @ Utah - Sloan and Brown both spend the entire game yelling "rotate" and "box out" at top volume. After his contacts fall out right before halftime, a confused Okur trusts his ears and accidentally heads into the visitor's locker room.
Feb 02 San Antonio @ Golden State - Maggette wonders what might have been as the Spurs cruise to a big early lead. He regains his faith when Stephen Jackson hits four consecutive contested threes to cut the lead to two with five minutes left.
Feb 03 Toronto @ Cleveland - LeBron looks at Anthony Parker and wonders why Ferry can't get him just one guy like that.
Feb 03 Minnesota @ Indiana - Mike Miller, finally submitting to his fate, lobbies for a trade to the Pacers.
Feb 03 Boston @ Philadelphia - A convincing enough win for the Sixers that pundits openly start to doubt the Celtics. Celtics fans begin to get excited in private, knowing that they will soon be able to claim disrespect.
Feb 03 Milwaukee @ New Jersey - Joe Alexander and Yi plan a walking tour of NYC's Chinatown before the game, but xenophobe Skiles bars Joe from carousing with our closest economic competitors. Michael Redd, who grew fond of China during the Olympics, refuses to play. The Nets still lose.
Feb 03 Chicago @ Houston - Last time Rose played in Houston, he controlled the region to send Memphis to the Final Four. Now he's letting Rafer Alston get 20 points to push the Rockets over the top.
Feb 03 San Antonio @ Denver - JR Smith takes all the shots in the last four minutes. This time they go in, and the Nuggets win 104-95.
Feb 04 L.A. Clippers @ Orlando - One Dwight Howard is still much, much better than Camby and Kaman.
Feb 04 L.A. Lakers @ Toronto - Forever scared of Kobe, Smitch has the Raptors triple-team him every time he touches the ball. Fisher, Sasha, and Farmar all hit for 20 in an easy Lakers win.
Feb 04 New Jersey @ Washington - President Obama watches his first game at the Verizon Center. Gilbert scores 46 to get back at him for picking Biden.
Feb 04 Miami @ Detroit - Stuckey takes his Wade mimicry to new heights, countering his every move and holding him to just 10 points on 3/13 shooting.
Feb 04 Cleveland @ New York - The paparazzi spend all day trying to get shots of LeBron buying pizza-by-the-slice, but Zydrunas ends up dominating the game with 24 points on 10/14 shooting.
Feb 04 Houston @ Memphis - Rudy Gay scores 32 points, and everyone in Houston realizes they'd be the clear favorite if they had him instead of Battier.
Feb 04 Atlanta @ Minnesota - Corey Brewer picks his afro way out, hoping that the Hawks will decide he can fill the Childress gap.
Feb 04 Chicago @ New Orleans - Luol Deng leads all scorers in a surprising win, but no one claims he's about to break out.
Feb 04 Denver @ Oklahoma City - Remembering last year's 168-116 shootout, the Nuggets announcers claim that this game will feature scoring "til the cows come home." The Thunder announcers say the same thing, but they know that the Ford Center houses cattle overnight.
Feb 04 Portland @ Dallas - Tired of a lack of attention, Aldridge ties his career high with 36 points and neutralizes Bass.
Feb 04 Phoenix @ Golden State - One person in the world calls this a matchup of two running teams. That man is Jon Barry.
Feb 05 Indiana @ Philadelphia - No one's quite sure what went down, but Travis Diener is no longer allowed in the state of Pennsylvania.
Feb 05 L.A. Lakers @ Boston - Bynum finally teaches Perk some humility, and Kenny and Charles argue that LA would have won last year with a healthy squad. Bostonians huddle up and rehearse their talking points.
Feb 05 Dallas @ Utah - ESPN execs issue a one-year moratorium on all comparisons to Jason Kidd.
Feb 06 Atlanta @ Charlotte - May's out with a groin injury, which forces Brown into playing Gerald at the four. Reinvigorated, he and Josh Smith both notch 5x4's, but the Bobcats lose by 12. Gerald comes off the bench for the next week.
Feb 06 Orlando @ Indiana - Forty-seven Orlando fans head to the Trade Machine to figure out a way to get Brandon Rush.

Feb 06 Utah @ Sacramento - Kosta Koufos gets shipped back to Europe to work on his game.
Feb 06 Golden State @ Phoenix - Randolph and Shaq guard each other towards the end of the half. Shaq swears he'll never guard a point guard again.

Feb 08 Phoenix @ Detroit - Raja hits his funny bone really bad on Rip's mask.

Feb 10 New York @ Golden State - A new record for missed threes.

Feb 11 Sacramento @ Houston - Rockets fans wonder who that Greene kid is.
Feb 11 L.A. Lakers @ Utah - Kobe takes just six foul shots despite getting the full Harpring treatment. The Lakers win by six, but Utah fans still find a way to complain about it.

The Lakers/Sparks squad of Magic Johnson, Derek Fisher, and Sasha Vujacic wins, but they're disqualified when everyone remembers that they only crack jokes about Sasha playing in the WNBA.
