My stress level is reaching new heights...I cant stand losing hour long writeups to SPACE!! I dont need any speeches about cutting and pasting...thats obvious! I am doing eight thousand things at once and rarely post one thing...so it happens were I get involved and cant cut and paste for whatever reason..........shit happens but on the best 2 writeups. It always seems to be my best work that gets lost..Fucking amazing...I dont lose any posts for months at a time and lose one in consecutive days nows!
Well I am disgusted to boot about my decision making of late. To not make a killing on an easy Monday Card is killing me. It boils down to my unit spacing and rankings whihc need to improve....So I making an effort a
> Orlando @ New Orleans
The earlier meeting had Chris Paul but didnt feature Nelson and Turkoglu. The Hornets just upset Wash but Orlando is a different team and I expect this to be more like the Pistons matchup. We all know about Orl style and defense the home team will struggle to score and I dont expect them to break 80. The Magic playing some of there best ball recently are still off consecutive losses to LAL and Pho so IMO they will be focused to make sure they end this trip at least 2-2. I believe they are 8-1-1 ATS past 10 games. While the total seems low I expect 92 -80 here...{Orl -6.5 and Und 176}
> Houston @ Dallas
Big revenge game for Dallas here. What concerns me is the fact Ming is missing and he was the key in the earlier matchup. Mutombo playing well but cant replace the offense . The Rockets have spread the ball around effetcively since his injury but they over rely(IMO) on 3 pt shots to fall taking 30 per game recently. Dallas under Avery Johnson emphasis sound defense. One thing I know about teams who like to shot the 3 is the will force it and not wait for good looks. So where do the points come from then?? Houston in recent seasons has struggled vs Dallas. Looking at the recent Hou revival I dont think ther quality off opponent is very high. They struggled to defeated teams playing poorly such as @ Denver and @ Sac recently. Even before they bad big second half surges @ Minny and @ Chicago. All these teams are not in the same solar system as Dallas. They got payback versus LAL and Houston at home but were less then impressive versus bottomfeeders Seattle and Memphis. McGrady despite perception is playing poorly. Last 3 games 12/31 , 5/17 , 4/16 from the floor and 3 of 18 from three. His FT shooting has been inconsistent with some good nites and some 1/6 , 4/7 , 2/9 and 5/10 nites... Its great he is getting his mates involved but 30 attempts a game with a poor percentage is not gonna cut it...
Had so much more to add but basically see Hou in the lwo 80's here probably 81 but not higher then 85. WIth Dallas at home they are agood for 92-96 so I will settle for 94 -81....{Dal -7.5 and Und 181}
> Cle @ Seattle
This game should feature alot of offense. Hughes is out and neither team seems to have an answer for Lebron or Allen. Damon Jones could have alot of wide open 3 looks. With Seattle they basically allow 100 + points to all there opponents even shorthanded teams manage about 95. So the scenario that concerns me about the OVER is a 100-94/95 win by Seattle. The long rest for Seattle hopefully doesnt effect there jump shooting.
Cavs are playing better but still dont play well as road chalk. I have this game at closer to CLE -1.5. Not much difference but Cavs seem to start slow and Seattle fast so maybe Sonics 1st H is the best approach. Basically looking for a competitive game which worst case should have both teams above 98 points....with Cle recent struggles in Seattle and on the road in general (remember they were 3 pt dogs to LAC andSac) I would favor the home dog.
