just a basic question: what does 3 PT% means? : 3 PT% success or total 3 PT 's shot attempts?
 
bad couple of days..after a great friday night
wiz have 4 games this week, if they dont go at least 2-2 they will fire their coach (karl available), my .02
 
The Suns and Bulls are first two that jump off the page. Suns underrated, Knicks due for a regression. Bulls playing excellent ball and Wash does not handle good teams well. While the Bulls current records does not suggest a "good team", their current form does.

Agree bulls. They r in good form. Suns without Bledsoe cause you any concern?

It's only a concern when the Suns are in a B2B, or are in a situation where fatigue is a concern, and thus the minutes for Goran need to be monitored. Tonight is the last game of their road trip, which I look at as a motivating factor. Having off yesterday should help, but now that I take a closer look this will be 5 in 7. Conflicting angles end up in a pass for me. However, long term, Bledsoe being out will not factor in my decision making process.
 
Orlando are depleted, Vucevic is out, Afflalo is doubtful, Nelson is questionable, Harris is apparently playing through a lot of pain.
 
I been fading the Suns since Bledsoe injury and it proves to be right so far.
I think that Suns have draft on their mind, not winning.
 
Knicks have been playing really well since 2014 began, and I think this change is permanent after Woodson's benching of JR Smith. Smith came out last game against the Sixers not only hitting shots, but also passing up on shots he is known to take. New York is also occasionally running their offense through Stoudemire in the post, which allows for Melo and others to have wide open looks due to double teams.

If both JR and Stoudemire continue with their stellar performances, there's no reason the Knicks should not win by 10+. I have the line at Knicks -7... I'm playing it.

if you like phoenix, FH is the better play i think


this knicks team has turned a corner when it comes to team chemistry
 
Apologize for late post. Think I am getting well.
Re Suns game. Have not bet the Suns since Minn. Did not really want to bet them today.
No choice
Took Suns first half because of Knicks horrific record in first halfs at home especially after Wins. Played the first half under 100 major Knick trend
Felt I had to play the Suns plus 4 after seeing Knick game tomorrow at Carolina Bobcats.

They are in the thick of the playoff race. What have you seen from Phx that would make you think they have the draft on their mind. I think Bledsoe is very overrated.
 
Combination of food poisoning from a Denny at Priam and I think it weakened my resistance to some bug
 
Divol's draft remark was fairly stupid but the way the Suns are shooting now---
Anyway Eric is fine and seriously missed because the back up point guards all have serious weaknesses. Barbosa should be the best option I believe.
 
Would normally think about a second half bet but with Plumlee comatose and this bench doing nothing-- this just looks like a burial.
Now a 4 point game---???

Great luck. A little hot and at half time hit over 98.5 and Suns minus .5. Get that straight up win as well. Just a great game for me and by the way
THE PHOENIX SUNS HAVE NOT HAD A 3 GAME ATS LOSING STREAK THIS SEASON
 
They are in the thick of the playoff race. What have you seen from Phx that would make you think they have the draft on their mind. I think Bledsoe is very overrated.
It's just common sense and I don't think that Suns are that dumb, to fight for the 8th seed in the West.
I think that fading the Suns this season, at the right spots, has my best record from all the teams in the league.

Bottom line is that Suns have a lot of raw potential and good players, but they at the moment, don't have anything even close to building a team that can make it to the second round of the playoffs.

On the other hand, if they will manage to give some minutes to Len (when he is healthy) and get some decent draft picks, it can be a very interesting team.

On top of that, in the beginning of the season, they were seriously underrated and were getting amazing lines. Now they are overrated and get really strange lines as 1 point dog in Detroit for example was too good to pass on as a spot to fade them.

Also, teams are learning how to play this Suns team. They are run and hustle team (so Bledsoe is really missed) with big guys playing as three point shooters. Against big teams, they really struggle.
 
The Suns are certainly on the small side. If Eric does not make it back this season which I doubt they have little chance in the playoffs. Are the Suns trying to make the playoffs? Absolutely. Their offers of valuable draft picks for quality players is not exactly a secret.With Eric back and in good shape with developments that are very reasonable they could be a real threat to any team in the West. Can not see them winning the West. Coach still too green. Was very pleased to see Barbosa break out today. Suns are not like any other team in the West currently. They are not cast in a mold that can not alter.
Pretty much all i have to say about this. GL
 
The cold streak continues. Nothing really sticks out to me tomorrow.

Divol is on the right side currently here and you are very wrong. Bledsoe being out is terrible for the Suns. Can they adapt--not sure.
