Passing on the Monday night game. Nice, solid start to the season. Through one week we are starting to get some answers as well as a lot of questions. Lets take a look at Tuesdays large card in the preliminary phases and be ready to go when the lines come out.
Phoenix heads into Charlotte to take on the Bobcats. We know that the Suns have struggled at times so far. Amare is hurt but Nash willed them to a great second half versus the Cavaliers. Really don't know what to think right now. The Bobcats got great play from J-Rich and Felton to hold off a late Miami charge for the win to start the season with two wins. Yes injuries are going to hurt them long-term but this team could still be a live home dog this year. Most likley pass unless its a real juicy number.
Back to the scene of last years brawl for the Nuggets as they vist MSG to take on the Knicks. the Nuggets shot the ball horrid in a home loss to the Hornets. When both Melo and Allen are off in the same game they struggle mightily. The Knicks held off the T-Wolves in their home opener after losing a tough one to the Cavs on Friday night. This should be a doozy with the hoopla from the brawl last year.
The high-flying Hawks head into the meadowlands to take on the Nets. The nets have been their usual Heckyl and Jyde selfs. Who knows what team shows up. The Bulls win doesn't look that impresive anymore. Atlanta needs to learn to play as a team and get some bench contributions but they are going to be an exciting team all year. They will have super highs and super lows all year. Borderline playoff team. Might look at a ATL play here if line is right.
Orlando heads up to Target Center to face the Wolves. Great matchup with Jeferson and Howard. Orlando has shown they are not great defensively and if they don't shoot well they will struggle. Minnesota has competed so far. I honestly think this is a stay-away game. Just doesn't feel right..at this point.
The Raptors off a tough OT loss visit the Bucks. Toronto and Boston had bad games but the Raps blew it in the 4th by not scoring. They played as bad as they could on offense sans Ford and almost beat Boston. They should feel solid about that. Milwaukee picked up a win against the Bulls but anyone can do that right now. That team is so fractured that if a trade doesn't happen this season could get very ugly. Looking for a short number here for a Raptors play.
San Antonio visits Houston. I am sure the usual suspects will be on the under hard. I still think the Rockets will be up and down early but with Tracy's early play maybe nopt as much as first feared. Something here is telling me Rockets but they will be on a back-to-back so most likely pass.
Unreal, The Clipshow is now 2-0 this season. Stop pouring the kool-aid though they have played some garbage so far in GSW and Seattle. This game is funny though because the Bulls are playing like garbage and have the Detroit lookahead.
Another battle of bad teams at Arco. The Durant show continues as he has gotten better each game so far. What a player. Guy is unreal. Sacramento is horrible. cannot back Seattle though as they need to put together a full game for us first. Over perhaps?
The Hornets head into Staples to take on the suprising Lakers. Well, not suprising. The Lakers have some nice pieces and KB24 is playing excellent all-around ball so far. The Hornets are 3-0 after winning in Denver and showing they can win ugly at times. No clue on the side in this game.
Cleveland after a horrible second half in the desert heads up to the Bay Area to play the Warriors. The Warriors are exhibiting one of the worst defenses in modern era. They have played rebounding teams so far and got beat in all. Cleveland should control the inside and James could get 50 here in the uptempo attack. Cleveland is a lean here.
Your thoughts. If any plays pop up they will be posted here tomorrow night.:cheers:
