Alright, congrats to the winners last night. Held off the Pacers to pick up a win. Think things are turning back around as have hit 4 staright(sorry, played one last Thursday thru a local and didn't post it...then Detroit at last minute Monday..both small). Been some that I missed though as the weekend was very hectic(most notably the Jazz last night and the Nets the night before). Thats fine, things are starting to fall into place. Whe are in the last 10-12 games and there are a lot of teams fighting for position and whatnot.
Washington -7.5 -110 2 units
Yeah, road chalk. Thats what we have had to play over the years later in the season. We'll win more than we lose in the next three weeks if things hold true. The Wizards were awful in Portland last night. Blazers are still hanging by a thread so not suprised. Washington a little letdown after the fantastic performance on Sunday night. Seattl did beat Portland but otherwise has been brutal. Their defense gets worse and worse and I think Washington should cruise here. No reason the Bullets don;t go for about 110 here. Their defense should be able to hold the Sonics to 90-95 I think and we'll get a double digit win. Washington still can catch Cleveland for homecourt as they are just two back in the loss column. At the same point the surging Sixers are fast on their heels.
Atlanta -8 -110 2 units
Hey, its are favorite team of inconsistency the Atlanta Hawks. You can't fault a loss at Chicago. The Bulls are fighting for their chance to get swept in the first round as well(lol). Milwaukee is terrible right now. Yes they beat Cleveland last Saturday but that was a scheduling game as much as anything imo(5 in 7 for Cle). The Cavs had just come off big wins versus the Stons and Raptors. Line may seem big but they all are going to for the next few weeks.
Detroit/Toronto thoughts:
Really no idea. Detroit got up for a game against a good team. Thats about what they have to play for now. Saunders is trying different combinations to see what may work in different playoff scenarios. Theo has been a great addition. I really like the idea of throwing out him with Amir Johnson for a few minutes each game to really change the tempo defensively. Dixon is out. Thats good. Hunter looked good and spry in first game played inawhile. He and Stuckey really can get after it with on the ball pressure for short spurts. As with any Detroit game its all about if they wanna play team ball and attack. Games like Cleveland and Washington they settle for jumpers and have very few assists. When Detroit gets 20+ assists they are very tough. When they get 25+ assists they don't lose period.
Quick Thoughts:
New Jersey may..may be a play. At the -5 number I may consider it. That will be decided later. Boston situationally looks okay but I won't mess with teams like them and Detroit much late this season as who knows when the coaches start resting and this/that.
