Mak's Friday Funk

1-2 TNT Thursday, really strange night. Didn't expect Cats to come through at all, good thing I was late coming home would have placed more money on them.  Looking to have a better night on a wider slate.

TRENDS SAY IT ALL........... NUFF SAID.
7.7 UNITS SPURS - - -

CHICAGO BULLS - 2 - - - The Bulls are the better team period, defeated this team by 10 last time they met, although MEM is at home and O.J will want to prove he is the best rookie of this draft class, Rose will show that he has the better team surrounding him.  Deng and Gordon to have big games as the Bulls cover this game easily.
7.7 UNITS BULLS - - -

ATLANTA HAWKS + 2.5 - - - Public forgets this team was that fairy tale team to begin the season, everyone was backing them and individuals even put them up their with the top tier teams.  Well, this team is back now that Josh Smith is back, took him a few games to get back into the groove of the lineup.  The Hawks are overall better in every catagory then the Heat, Wade will fight to keep it close but this is ATL all the way, J Smooth, Johnson, Bibby, Horford take the Heat out in MIA.
7.7 UNITS - - -

TORONTO RAPTORS + 3.5 - - - Revenge?  Maybe next week when they come back to T.O.  Will have great seats ready to jaw at Harris and Vinceina again.  Hopefully Raps carry their momentum off the win and use that as aggression, J.O will have to be at his best for the Raps to have any chance at this game.  NJ is not really home court advantage, NJ hardly fills seats and you wonder why the NEts bring more effort on the road, this game should be close but I suspect a SU Raptors win here.
5.5 UNITS - - -

LA CLIPPERS + 10 - - - You all know I like the Clipps starters and plan to ride em for a while.  + 10 against a team who has had a rough schedule playing back to back against a team who has been waiting for them in Portland for a few days is a good bet.  Hopefully Clipps can hand close and make this a game in Portland.
5.5 UNITS - - -

LOS ANGELES LAKERS - 16.5 - - - Yes a very high spread especially for a team that beat em SU just a few days ago!  But it was clearly evident Kobe was very pissed at the end of the game...reason?.....It was his fault they lost.  Missed shot after missed shot, bad d and overall the Lakers got outplayed by the Kings....unacceptable and they know it, look for Kobe to prove they way better then that but annihilating the Kings tonight.  A 30 point win is not out of the questions, granted Lakers have not been blowing any team out, but Sac town has had their fair share of blowouts this season and this is the first team they have faced that is actually primed and ready to devour them.  Showtime in the city of angels tonight.

Man 16.5 is a lot to give up to a team that has proven over and over in its last games that it can't hold on to a lead, dunno about that one..

GL with your picks though, as a fan, I hope the raps get their revenge in similair fashion as Carter did to us!

think ur back on the right track GL

ATL

BOL tonight Mak! 

LAL -16.5 is scary, but you gotta believe Vegas set it that high for a reason.   They are begging the public to take the Kings and the points.  Consensus is on the Kings.  I'll go against the public and take Showtime.

Love the picks MAK, but i'm not sure about the Lake Show. May only use them in a teaser. BOL Everyone
