outside of laker fans, i dont see much people raving about bynum's trade value because of those shaky knees and huge contract. any team that would be willing to trade for him would be entering a huge risk, thus will have to be sold on the idea of bynum, and will not settle for him in a trade with their core player. a huge part of the nba game is staying fit and healthy, and when you have a player that has a consistent issue with one of those, then that player will always be a tough sell with an expensive price tag attached to him. ask portland how many calls they're getting for Brandon Roy. or what charlote settled for in exchange for tyson chandler. i dont even think the lakers can even get away trading Bynum for Marc Gasol and OJ Mayo, what more Melo and Nene?

im with you on the cavs, thinking about indiana, and we disagree with miami, i'll actually be on toronto for that game or will pass on it. i think the heat will try to get bosh more involved for this game, to the point that they'll be force feeding him and that'll go away from this rhythm miami has built this season offensively. im considering Washington surprisingly. think they match well with the magic outside of dwight and in games ive seen that dwight explodes, its usually a tight game. |

washington, toronto, and cleveland looks like steady choices to me, im not so sure with sacramento and new jersey though. Boston seems like a no non-sense unit who wouldnt look ahead or something. same could be said with Dallas with Carlisle and Kidd as those team's leaders.

thanks for the heads up on the warning. ended up putting a small play on chicago since i couldnt shake the fact that charlote had a 13 game build up to this 4th game in 5 nights. last time i saw something like that was when the spurs lost their first back-to-back games for the season after starting the season winning 2 or 3 of those.

not long ago, the bobcats were in a very simillar situation. they had only one day breaks leading into a 4 games in 5 nights scenario with Chicago waiting at the end of it in Chicago. they ended up winning that game by a point. although i also saw the differences. chicago themselves were playing 4 in 5 and as mentioned, was without boozer as well. and this time, the game leading up to it is more than double the ammount of games. last time was 6, now its 13. was gona put a small wager on charlote, but after looking at this, just might pass on the game altogether.

i like memphis as well, just wondering if im confident enough with OJ Mayo returning. in the 10 games he was suspended, the grizzlies went 8-2 SU. it started with a win against this very philly team. sam young thrived when he was given consistent extra minutes and tony allen has been producing when he got the playing time. with OJ comming in, those minutes will be lessen and the overall team production could suffer. if he was still suspended, for sure i will put money on memphis here, but Mayo being eligible to play brings a lot of uncertainty in the game. although i see the point of a lot of people taking miami, im not fully convinced yet. inidiana has made me good money since they fired jim obrien, 6-2 since he left and thats the ATS record only because they failed to cover twice. they're 7-1 SU and the one loss came against the heat where they were having a close game in miami. indiana has the personell to match up against the heat. the pacers are a roy hibbert and collison improvement away from being a consistent play-off team. i think ill be passing on tomorrows games. i was about to pick charlote to play, but then checked out their record against the bulls which is 2-0 this season, and then i saw that Tyrus Thomas played in both of them. It'll be very difficult for them to replace him in a match-up against the bulls. although, if i were to make a small play, i guess it would be on Jordan against the Bulls. |

the lakers can offer Kobe, Gasol, Odom, or Bynum and i still think Utah will pass on the deal. Deron has a lot of good years in him, and they already have 3 starting quality bigs, although Okur is still getting back to form.

Pretty tough scheduling for them as well and with the way they are going, like CMJ said, they'll probably look forward to going home now. i gotcha. im just weary since the hornets might be out of rhythm with okafor gone and knowing that he's always got their backs on defense. he's the kinda guy who you can go all out on the peremeter cause you know he will rotate to your man if you get burned and will defend that basket. not having him could alot of baskets in the paint, or rotations from differnt players that will lead to open jump shots from then perimeter. |

id take caution with the hornets cmm. any update on Emeka Okafor playing tomorrow? that guy is an integral part of the team, more than the numbers he brings, much like Al Horford to the hawks. David Anderson has yet translated well since comming to the NBA and Jason Smith is too inconsistent. i'd be carefull with them covering that large spread. on the other hand, my play for tomorrow would be the boston as well. i tried to find a reason on why sacramento can win it, looking at Cousins' prodcution, but still shouldnt be enough for them to keep the game close. sacramento now will be going up against a much better boston defense with Garnet playing in this one. its also good to know that Perkins is back to throw a body at Demarcus and Caspi getting more time means an enferior defender on Paul Pierce. im also considering the UNDER for this game with Boston getting their defensive bigs back and healthy. |

im trying to look for reasons on why i think sac can takee this game, but having a hard time to do so. the kings have yet to go on a 3 game winning streak this seasn and this is only their second chance at it. they faced the celtics over two weeks ago and got beaten bad without tyreke playing, but neither did KG. in fact, that was a very non celtic like game that boston won. they simply outscored the kings. they allowed sacramento to shoot over 50%, a trait that is not common to them, being 3rd in the league in opponent FG%. after loosing to the suns and wizzards in the past 10 days, i dont think they will think lighly of any opponent right now. i dont do it often, but i think i got to side with the public on this one, dont see the kings getting their first 3 game winning streak of the season against the celtics. but to just be on the safe side, i would say that a play on the UNDER would be advisable. last time the total was set at 197 without KG and Tyreke and it went way over. now both are playing and they shed 6 poins from the total, that speaks a lot on what they expect teams to be shooting this time around.

hard to trust a clipper team, even harder when such a big piece in eric gordon isnt playing. Foye has done a good job trying to replace him for the time being, but his defense isnt nearly as good. good luck, but im passing on this game.

i love the fact that JJ Redick and Hedo will be up against Tony Allen and Rudy Gay. im worried a bit with Ryan Anderson though since Zach randolph doesnt really step out on defense a lot. orlando, although being the better team the past few years, have yet to sweep memphis in a season series.

i think they will be. dont see how they're thin front court can match up against the grizzlies. memphis is also that feasts on turnover buckets. they lead the league in forcing them. tony allen will probably go wild tomorrow.

i like the dallas under, and the hornets for play. leans would be on the clipper under, still looking at how eric gordon going down affects them. less offense yes, but then randy foye is a worse defender and they seem allow more points to be scored. houston looks very tempting as well, but blair on chuck hayes looks like a match-up benefitting san antonio.

theres only 2 games i want for tomorrow. its good to know that we both agree on it. Im referring to the Wizzards against phoenix, and the Hornets in atlanta. agree with what you said on both accounts. Nick Young had a good game then against the suns and thats when he was comming off the bench. Think he'll play better against Carter who has the same level deffense as J-Rich, but will be getting more looks and minutes this time around. I also like Washington' length up front to match-up against Gortat and their speed to go out against Frye. The biggest difference though would be Rashard Lewis instead of Alonzo Gee. The wizzards are better with a more traditional line-up instead of their early season experiment of using Wall, Hinrich, and Arenas for small ball offense. The Hornets game was very good already with New orleans on a roll lately and the hawks not being a good home team. Its not also a bait pick since the hornets arent generating much hype now for the masses to swarm them and get burned. But the best part has got to be knowing the Al Horford will not be playing. This guy i huge for the hawks, HUGE. the guy doesnt get the highlights or the media attention, but he does get things done. Zaza, and Jason Collins can not replace what he brings to the table. And Emeka Okafor can shut down whichever player they want to put on the block. Chris Paul on the other hand can expose which every guard they point on him. Bibbyis too slow, Crawford doesnt play good D, and Teague doesnt get the minutes. Paul will be able to get to the rim all night long and can dump off to emeka or pass to west when he sees Smith comming from the weak side. Its also nice to know that they've got Trevor Arriza to shadow Joe Johnson whose been on a tear as of late. the only way I can see the hornets loosing this is if the hawks shoot the ball unbelieavably well from outside and on the perimeter. |

ive been fading the lakers a lot lately and as juicy as that 15 point spread is, i would have to pass on the game. I just cant see how Cleveland will be able to keep close to a bad laker team. Best of luck though and hope you win with the pick. i like the philly play most of all actually. the under would be a close second. only thing im worried about is that Iggy might play and i prefer the sixers much much more when he was out. |

i feel the call came one day early, but will be on the bulls against the celtics. |

Dont Overlook the chicago play. remember a couple of years ago in the play-offs how the bulls went toe to toe with the Boston Celtics that had no KG. over time games afer over time games, rondo averaging a tripple double for a series and Derek Rose holding his own and carrying his team. i have a feeling we'll be treated to another classic showdown of these two great franchises where the home team will come out victorious. i faded and benefitted from Chicago's past two games, but that was because they were on the road. they are a whole different monster at home. Chicago Bulls is definitely my play here. another reason, although im not really looking a lot into it is that chicago has yet to loose 3 games in a row this season, and i believe they will try extra hard to avoid that from happening. i agree with the charlote under play. as well as the Detroit play. believe the pistons is on the rise and will be getting some wins since they seem to be going with a better rotation starting t-mac and ben gordon. i also prefer the under more than the orlando play in their game. dallas is still a very dangerous team to be given points at home. in fact, i find it very odd that they're given odds this early. this new magic squad still hasnt proven anythig on the road. new jersey and cleveland are hardly top level competition and defense. I know Dallas is hurt with their top 2 scorers out for tomorrow's game, but never doubt Jason Kidd and what he can do with the pieces he's given. |
