HOUSTON ROCKETS + 3 - - - The Orlando Magic have not won in ORL against the Houston rockets in over 6 years. Nothing will change today. Who is the better team? No doubt HOU. ORL always seem to struggle vs defensive minded teams. When teams close out on their shooters or don't double Dwight they seem to look for offense elswhere, and that is nowhere to be found. The Rockets roll as Orlando's home woes continue. 4.4 UNITS - - - (+ 1.1 UNITS MONEYLINE) - - -
NEW JERSEY NETS - 3.5 - - - Sigh...I am still a bit upset at the outcome in Toronto. Toronto did let it go at the end. However, post-game nation-wide not even in just Canada, it was widely discussed that Vince only showed up in Toronto. That is not the case I assure you, Vince is just a box. A nice guy, but a gutless box nonetheless, he can play whenever he wants. Unfortunately for the shorthanded Clips he will want to prove it's not just T.Dot that brings it out. He will go off in NJ against Eric Gordon. Devin Harris is a very impressive young PG with a very foul mouth as I first hand witnessed last night :). I think he may be one of the best PG's in the East. He has massive quickness, a shot and ball handling skill. Jarvis Hayes is the perfect backup forward to score and Lopez continue to impress. NJ is a good team and will take care of the Clips with relative ease. 4.4 UNITS - - -
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS - 15 - - -Hornets beat em by 25 in OKC and you may think OKC will come back and try and stay close, but you forget that Hornets are motivated to play even better at home since they have dropped some games they should have had in their own arena. They gotta represent their home court advantage and will look to beat em by even more then they did at OKC, Hornets easy cover and big teaser play. 3.3 UNITS - - -
PHOENIX SUNS - 6.5 - - - The Suns defeated the Blazers at PHO earlier by 11 points. With two straight losses I suspect the Suns to be primes and ready for the Blazers. look for Shaq to welcome Oden into the NBA properly. I suspect Amare to be too much for Aldridge to handle, his quickness and box out ability will affect him. Shaq and Amare will dominate the paint as they did in their prior meeting going 8-12 and 6-8 respectively. Suns should cover this spread. 3.3 UNITS - - -
WASHINGTON WIZARDS + 4.5 - - - What the fuck is going on? Seriously? What has the NBA come to when the NEW YORK DICKS are trading away a roster that may have even made the playoffs this year? What the fuck is the point of clearing salary for 2010? Seriously guys. There is still over 140 games to be played until Bosh, Mello, Wade and the King become free agents so why do this? Zach and Mardy for Tim and Catino? Jamal for Harrington? Are you fucking kidding me? Whatever, mark my words, 2010. Bosh stays with Raps, Wade stays with MIA and LBJ stays with CLE. Mark my words, all for nothing you dumb ass teams. If Knicks think they can stay competitive more power to em, WAS will come in and start strong and the Knick fans will let them hear it at MSG. Even if Knicks win they will be a team to fade this season...again. 2.2 UNITS (+0.8 UNITS MONEYLINE) - - -
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS - 9.5 - - - Prior to their last lost the Cavs were covering machines blowing out teams left right and center. They are 8-4 ATS and a perfect 6-0 at home. They will take care of the Hawks. Only reason it is a low unit wager is because I do suspect Al Horford to play and make a slight impact on the outcome. 2.2 UNITS - - -
WAS@NY UNDER 208 - - - I don't care how good Dantoni is, without fucking players you can't score. Period. 3.3 UNITS - - -
That's it gents, for all those that do think I play too many games...you are right. But this is how I have done it and will continue to do so for at least a while. For those who are asking about records I got too lazy and stopped keeping track but for those who have followed from time, you know when to trust me. BOL to all of you, hope you beat the books tonight no matter what side your on, PEACE - - - MAK.

key points: both are on back to backs, so no excuses here for either, BUT:
Houston starters' minutes were in the 30s tonight against the Wiz, and got key contributions from bench (another factor, HOU has a deeper bench)
ORL starters' minutes were in the 40s due to OT, and no contributions from bench...
T-Mac was just "cruising" for the first 3 quarters, but when he turned it on, he was money in the 4th. (quotes from the recap)
Hedo was awful tonight, 1 for 13! I agree with mak here... when ORL faces a defensive team, they will struggle... I doubt Hedo will fare any better against Artest or whoever they put on him...Scola perhaps?
final nugget: HOU is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings
this is my biggest NBA play for Saturday, may add more units...

I've been following most your picks this weeks with a few exceptions (even though they won). I must say I've had a great week so I can only imagine how well your doing.

Dont take new jersey tonight my friend, I'm taking the clippers ML, the nets are coming off an OT win in toronto, and had to fly back home. Clipps are coming off a heartbreaker to brand and the sixers in philly, just a few hour bus ride away. Clipps will control the inside in this game and baron and ricky davis will handle vince and devin. I'm also taking milwauke/char OVER 180. Good luck!
