Tuesday night was a mixture of ups and downs during game 2 but ended up only losing the hedge on Lakers totals...so 7-1 night overall and up 4.18 units
22-6-1 +10.36 units overall
Alright, obviously its five days before these games get going but the lines are popping up on the Pinnacle screen as we speak. This will be a huge board and we want to get the early season thoughts generated in the days leading up to it.
I have one play for now. Others(if any) will be posted as the next few dasy unwind. Please leave any thoughts and recommendations in here. Best of luck..lets roll...
Detroit vs Milwaukee
I knew what I was going to be playing in this game if the number was right about a week ago. Talked to Copps guy about his Bucks last night quite a bit. We were also line predicting. He was guessin 10-194. I was guessin 8-194. Well, its 7.5-190. Wow, thats great news indeed to me.
Lets talk Bucks first. They lost TJ Ford but gained Charlie V instead. TJ could push the ball and set up but was such a liabilty at PG defensively. Nice kid, great heart but he needs big bodies behind him to mask his flaws. Charlie V is no stalwart defensively but he can score as evidenced by his huge 50 point game late last season. Mike Redd is still the focus for the Bucks. I am sure he will have a few things on his mind after last years playoff series. Him and Rip are good buddies but Redd was kinda pissed with the defensive tactics. He will find the going a bit easier against Detroit now and he usually torches us during regular season games. Bogut has a boo-boo and this Milwaukke defense is horrid. I am sure Coppsguy will back me up here as he said watching the Bobcats-Bucks last night they looked horrid.
Detroit will take on a semi-different identity this season. Ben was against anything Flip wanted to do with this team. While they did core a lot more last season during the regular season it didn't work during the playoffs. Ben, as the leader, wasn't going to allow change and it hurt them quite a bit. Flip is an excellent offensive coach. I think we'll see plenty of motion and a lot more running than in years past. Guess what else? With Body gone, when the offense breaks down we have a low-post guy in Nazr who can actually makes plays. Nazr looked very good offensively in the preseason. Dice will receiev more minutes as well for the Stons. Add in Maxiell who was awesome in preseason and the frontcourt isn't as bad off as some would think. I think its more suited for the way the NBA is heading(Stern style). Delfino is starting to finally show his potential and Flip Murray has been a suprise to myself. I have never been a fan of his but he showed team play and PG skills in the preseason. Thats huge for a team that lacked depth last season.
As for this game--We are going to see an uptempo affair IMO and a lot of points. The Rip-Redd matchup should be awesome and I think their will be plenty of shot attempts both ways. No way Detroit doesn't get 100 here against this sad-sack defense. I also think Milwaukee will be quite successful as well. Detroit will take time to gel defensively without Body in the middle.
I love this play and got it 4 points less than I thought I would. Huge play on it..
