NBA Tuesday...

[Billivy]

08-09 record: 4-2 (+$150)

Detroit Pistons @ San Antonio Spurs -4 (220 to win 200)

This is the one of the few times you're going to find this team undervalued. Let me remind you that the Spurs are at full roster strength @ home against a pieced together, aging Detroit Pistons squad that the public has seemingly fallen in love with. I have to jump on this b/c 4 weeks from now, we're all gonna be saying remember when the Spurs were given no respect @ home against Detroit? (this line suggests almost even sqauds for christ sake)...AI's been playing well, but it's a brand new look that is still raw and the Spurs (altho not at 100% health) are a well oiled machine that exploit such weakness...gonna take a stab with this one. More to come l8er...BOL

na just the radio guys speculating stuff as usual

 

[Billivy]

One thing concerns me about the spurs, is that TP and Manu are just getting up to speed. LAst game Parker 26 min, Manu 20?

I leaned Spurs as well.

Detroit's issues are just the geling and whatnot. They have lost every Sunday game this year. Thats where 4 of their 6 losses have come into play. One game they look all-world and the next like dogshit. Iverson issue righty now is he is not used to only getting 35 minutes in a game and is having to adjust. He also is missing many easy shots near the hoop. Prince was actually playing great right after trade but has fallen back a bit. Hamilton is such a rythm player that he is learning to play off new creators nowadays and his shooting percentage has slipped. Their biggest problem though is when their shots are not falling they start getting sluggish on defense.

Billivy, any thoughts on Under 186.5 here? Seems to be a relly great play. Played it already, but want to really pound it here. Any thoughts?
