Looking to hit a hundred today.
Purely motivational pick, going against the injuries, being the biggest square in the world. Guess what? I don't care. Laying a mini road chalk on a team that is desperate to win and has the chance to see postseason and reach their season goal (reaching the playoffs is a huge thing for the Pacers) against a team that doesn't have a chance any more and are slowly closing the season, the Sixers are playing for the stats and for the paychecks, they've been exchanging wins and losses in their last 7 games, they won last time out, so another loss is in order? Imagine this: a team desperate for a win, that will take this game VERY seriously, against a team that might or might not take this one seriously until the end.
I don't think the Sixers will roll over and die, but I do think motivation and hunger will determine the winner here. Expecting the Sixers to hang on until HT and slowly lose grip in the 3rd.

The initial value has faded since we had this one available at plus money in the morning, but I didn't get to post it then. Charlotte are still in this season. Care to ask why? It's mostly because they're building a team for next season, and they finally got Emeka Okafor back, and are now enjoying their playing time, finally as a complete team. Almost complete that is. A member on another forum said that Heat are in conservation mode, and it's no wonder: they can't move from their position, they have a bunch of old, weary bones in their lineup, and now they're missing O'Neal, possibly Haslem and Posey as well, Wade is getting back slowly, no need to force things, and Gary Payton is bruised. Forget the revenge factor, Miami doesn't care. Bobcats should win this one.

Loving the plus money. I don't think the Hornets will reach the playoffs, and even if they have some theoretical chances I think they lose them tonight in a direct clash. I know, we're getting ripped here for backing the Clipps on the road at all, not to mention at this, in normal circumstances, funny price? After all, the Hornets are still in the fight. I just don't see it that way, the Clipps dropped two straight and GSW are now on the 8th position, and for the Clippers postseason is everything, it's the goal they keep setting year and year out, everything else is a bonus, anything less is a failure.
The Hornets would usually rely on Chandler to do the job inside, but since he's missing tonight (bruised toe, day to day) they'll have to settle this on the perimeter. Clipps have Jason Hart running the show, which is a big downside usually, but the guy has actually stepped up huge, plus the variety of scorers the Clippers have should win them this one, and finally kick out the Hornets from playoff contention. Tim Thomas is probable for the Clippers.
