When's the last time there were two -18+ favorites on the same day?

 

[divol]

I remember last year few such days with two or maybe more games of 15+ points lines.
You had Sixers, Minny without half the roster, Knicks without Melo, Lakers without Kobe, Nets...

 

[tuck321]

Would normally be thinking fade Spurs here but the history makes that look silly. For some reason Pops likes walking on this team. Pops does have a look ahead to Portland though

 

[tuck321]

Am doing other things right now but Spurs game would logic dictated be an under

 

[tuck321]

I have never been a fan of coincidence in handicapping. In their last game GS hit 129 points which is their second highest total this year. Number 1 was at NO. The next game was Memphis and the final score was 119-69 a easy cover that went way under. I clearly need to think more about this but I would not bet this game over at the moment

 

[nbafan88]

@SportsInsights: #NBA #Wizards - Bradley Beal, Shoulder - is downgraded to doubtful Saturday (11/14) vs. Orlando

 

[nbafan88]

Spurs should win by 40

 

[tuck321]

It is fair to say they CAN win by 40. In actual fact Pounding guessed 23 and the Portland game screams slow down so 20 and up would be reasonable guesses.

 

[tuck321]

If I am seeing this correctly Spurs do not have 2 days off for 20 games. I think they have 2 days off after the Clippers before facing Indiana. Locking in the under.

Doubt Pops is looking ahead to Portland considering they beat this team on the road only days earlier. Blazers are not a threat to the Spurs.

Only dude who cares is probably just Aldridge.

 

[divol]

I doubt Spurs want to walk over the Sixers, since Pop and Brown are friends. Maybe Sixers just not a match for the Spurs, especially since they have pretty low basketball IQ imho, while Spurs have one of the highest in the league.

Since Brown took over, the Spurs have beaten them by 24, 22, 25 and 6 (the 6 was a game that Parker and Duncan sat out, and where Ginobli played limited minutes).

Sometimes you're just better than the other team...

 

[emkee]

Spurs will roll Philly whether Pops plays golf on the weekends with the Sixers coaching staff or not.

from what I have seen... the coaches who go up against their disciples like to crush them

 

[nbafan88]

Ginobli & Kawhi are OUT

Exactly. That's the reason imo and not that Spurs don't like the Sixers or something.

 

[emkee]

Paul and Redick officially OUT.

 

[tuck321]

Would have to say the idea that Pops is not looking ahead to Portland is AMAZING. On a topic I can take seriously, Divol your opinion of Weems?

 

[tuck321]

My guess is that Pops simply hates the eternal tanking.

I loved him in CSKA and Zalgiris. He was just the right type of player for Europe. Can take the game over to him and be the go to guy, but also can be a facilitator. He should try and have the same career like Tucker, that went through similar things, just at smaller profile (Tucker played in Holon and Donetsk, while Weems in Zalgiris and CSKA). I will always remember Tucker as one of the main reasons why Holon took the Championship over Maccabi in Israel, first time after a very long while - but obviously didn't have the star profile in Europe that Weems has.

I think everyone outside of Philly hate it and half the people within Philly as well...

Let's be completely honest, we actually have no f@#king idea what Pops is thinking.

We can only guess.

 

[hugh613]

Probably not thinking about Chicken Parmesan. That would be my guess (unless he hasn't had lunch yet or is driving by Quizno's at the moment, then who knows)...

 

[CASH]

No Dirk , parson or mathews

no dwight or beverly..

looks like Kawhi is out -- double check for yourself..

 

[dudleysdad]

My guess is that Pops simply hates the eternal tanking.

so u are telling me philly is tanking right now?

 

[emkee]

Time to sack Lurch.

 

[CASH]

Klay out...

 

[hugh613]

Sixers with 12 in the 1st quarter and Nuggets with 13 in the 1st quarter. Meanwhile Curry scored 20 on his own in the 1st quarter the other night...
