cmm, what do you think?
im with you on ATL, these guys are road warriors, much like the dallas mavericks. only thing thats hindering me is the fact that the masses seem to be on it, simillar on how they were in the hornets their past two games, and if devin harris can have his way with bibby and jamal crawford. the rebounding i was hoping to be for the hawks, turns out that it favors the nets. atlanta has just been letting their opponents outrebound them. lost that battle 6 out of the last 7 games while new jersey has won it 5 out of their last 7. when i started typing this, i was all over the hawks, now im having some second thoughts. i think i just might end up passing on this now.
on the next game, im feeling your gut feel over the stats and trends. i looked back on the first encounter of this 2 teams and saw that cleveland was blown out with mo will and varejao out. i then looked at the record of the cavs ATS with Mo Will playing they are 4-3 with him playing, 4-2 when he starts, and that 1 loss happened when he got injured in the 3 quarter and dint come back. i think we'll be seeing more of james posey when jamison is on the floor, but could give the rebounding advantage to the cavs. both teams arent the best in defending the 3 with cleveland and indiana being the 8th and 11th worst in the league respectively. the cavs are the second worst in the league in forcing turnovers, while the pacers are in the middle of the pack placing at 17. steals though, indiana is 13th worst in allowed and cleveland is in the top 10. looking at what they do as opposed to what they allow, cleveland is in the top 5 in taking care of the ball while indiana is in the bottom 10. its to be expected since the pacers love to push the tempo, but cleveland can keep up with them with most of their players built for speed. i just feel that varejao and mo will want some payback after watching from the bench their team getting blown out in their own home court. also looking at indianas 2-3-0 record when they are favored.
Im not ready to fade the bulls yet. i understand their in the middle of a 7 game road trip and just finished the texas triangle going 2-1, but they do have their 3 day rest before this 4 games in 5 nights happen. and this isnt anything new to the bulls. interesting fact, Derek Rose has yet to win against the Lakers. also, Derek Rose has always shown up and gave a good performance against them. heres what caught my attention and why im siding with chicago, in all 4 contests, Andrew Bynum has played in all of them. Pau Gasol has given huge performances, avergaing 22.75 PPG. 34 points, 23, 24, and 10. that last game, was the only one that he shot below 50% going 3 for 8. interesting enough, it was the only game that he was matched up with Noah since Brad Miller played against Bynum.

i like the knicks over the bobcats.knicks have been playing better lately and they are home and i expect a good effort from them.
and pacers against the cavs. They just killed miami last night.
I like the hawks over the nets like you but Atlanta is so inconsistent and not playing up to their potential. lets see if they have a breakthro game tonight.
