Dont know why this total is so high. The Knicks probably wont have Zach,QRich and Marbs in the line-up again. The Knicks shot almost .500 for the game tonight against the Suns. No way they reproduce these type of numbers against the slower tempo Clipps.

Leans so far. Just waiting for lines.

Raptors ML (just waiting or might take the -1 +111)

The Key is rebounding. I wrote a few days ago that things would improve from the Philly game on. The Raps were not playing a style conducive to wins. The Raps were basically getting out rebounded and playing streetball the first few games. The last few games they have rebounded the ball better and play a style that gave them the Atlantic last year.

Mitchell now has Rasho and Jamarrrrrrioooo in the starting line up. Both these guys provide toughness and defence. Jamario in particular provides an edge and spark that the Raps havent had in a while. (Jamario Moon will be my sleeper for the dunk contest this year if available)

Utah will try to bully the Raps on the boards. I dont think it happens. Okur isnt the rebounder he was 2 years ago. His rebounding numbers have dropped every year. Moon matches up pretty well physically with AK and should keep him off the boards. Boozer will probably get a double-double, but hell does that to most teams anyways. TJ and Caldy hopefully will make DWill. This is where Fisher would usually kill us with some daggers from the outside. Not this year.

Indy 1Q/1H Over (no line)
Indy is a better first half team.They usually start out pretty good and then do their customary fade in the 2H. They have won every half and 1Q this year except for the Celtics game.

Minny 1Q (hoping for a -1 or -.5)
Sacramento is probably the worst 1Q team in the league this year.

The line just moved to +2 and will take it. Will most likely play a ML when available.

Have a few more leans that I'm undecided on.

T-Dot,
I'm on Raps ML, just one of those games where people don't think the Raps can win but they some how pull it out. I agree, the boards is going to be very key considering we lack the size. I'm worried about the guard matchups with Deron Williams being a much harder guard to size up with when we only have Calderon and Ford.

Moon is one heck of an intense player. Something the Raps have missed this season. Obviously we don't want him to shoot, but need his hops for the glass and his pace up and down the court. Thank god they took out Kapono.

By the end of the night, I want to hear Chuck say "Raptors win Raptors win Raptors win!"
