Was going to hang it up for the regular season but who am I kidding. In all honesty, the Det-Wash game plus the Chicago-Toronto losses were disheartening. Look at the Bulls btw, they are stinking it up outta nowhere. Last night kinda got me goin ga bit as far as confidence. Didn't play any NBA but capped out the under in Cleveland and obviously wish I woulda played. Was a perfect spot for it. Oh well, lets see how tonight goes and go from there.
Few random thoughts. Liked what SF Capper had in discussion thread about the Wshington revenge angle but waiting on that game. Want to look more and see who is playing and not. In late-season situations with two bad teams those small little angles help. Milwaukee played a weird little 4 game eastern trip, has a homer against Lakers then another roadie. The problem is this is a getaway game for LA. I think they realize that HCA advantage against Cleveland is gone now. The last two games confirmed it. Bored team, just waiting right now. No way to play that game imo. But then again. wtf have I known since early February.
Nice to see Sheed come back last night and promptly get suspended fgor tonights game. I know you guys prolly read Iverson's comments afterwards but one thing is I love the bench look now. Both times Detroit put that bench out there they controlled the game(albeit Cle was a bit flat). First time in years that Detroit could score off bench. Iverson looked fine and I know he is pissed he got pulled with three minutes left. Understandable. He was playing solid, even defensively. The problem is when he was out Bynum started playing excellent and still is. So, its a 4 man rotation now instead of 3 man and thats why the minutes are not there. Its a problem but we shall see. Now, back to the meadowlands to face the Nets. Remember last time Detroit was here was Iverson's first game. Seems so long ago. The Nets are completely tanking right now. Detroit has a 2 game lead in loss column over Chicago right now. They also have a big game in 3 days at Philadelphia. This game fits the late season criteria. I think Detroit's mostly imporved defense will be big here and they'll grind out a win.
Out at Staples the Hornets come in off a high of another buzzer beater this season. First B2B in over three weeks for Hornets so fatigue isn't a huge issue with me. The 2-7 is soooo tight right now in West this is a must game for the Hornets as far as HCA advantage and possible matchups go. Big public play but gotta go with it, at least the line moved with the public love.
Detroit PK +100 3 units
New Orleans -3.5 4 units
GL to everyone tonight. SF Capper, I will make a thread about that later. Have been meaning too for a week or so.
