Portland seems like a nice bet on first glance.

 

[divol]

Rockets and Under TT for the Raptors two pretty obvious plays. Too obvious to be honest...

 

[STEED]

:shake:

 

[MrFuz5]

raptors been coverin' at home, no let down for rockets after Bos win?

 

[divol]

I think that Dallas getting their ass handed to them by Raptors will make Rockets much more ready for this game.
Rockets have a rare chance for a road win and I can't see them not taking advantage of that.

 

[nbafan88]

lol thats crazy logic imho, you honestly think the rockets are going to be more up for this game because the raptors just crushed the mavs?


raptors play defense, houston doesnt

How on earth can you think otherwise?
When you play a banged up team, many times you come too cocky and too confident and when this team won by 20 points a good team with the same roster, you give them more respect...

 

[divol]

And of course Toronto plays defense. Calderon and Kleiza both will be in defensive team of the year LOL!

 

[divol]

The line in Philly makes so little sense that I just want to take the Lakers here.
Lakers were -5 points favorites in DC and now -3 points against Sixers?
Even without Holiday, Lakers should be dogs here, not favorites.
Can't get this line. Any thoughts on this one?

 

[nbafan88]

i like the kings tonight... nuggets had a long east coast road trip, then one big home win against memphis and now right back on the road for just one game.... just terrible terrible scheduling

kings tonight....



then tomorrow the kings will be in the same spot as the nuggets are tonight, but worse since they dont have a day off

 

[hugh613]

i like the kings tonight...

That Kings team has to be one of the dumbest basketball teams I've ever seen, but you are right about the scheduling for Denver. Good luck.

 

[nbafan88]

lol denver is not the smartest bunch either

 

[hugh613]

You know how many times I've watched Demarcus Cousins try to take on guys 1 on 3 this season? Plus, I don't know where I'd find the stat, but the Kings probably lead the league in unforced turnovers (I've seen Thornton bounce the ball off his foot for f**k's sakes).

p.s. nba, try to get kapono back over here from the 'other' place - we could use a few more guys.
