Another mediocre 2-2 Sunday. Save by the juice. Mediocre is still better then a slump and I will take it...for now. Hoping to get that mojo working tonight with 2 winners. Best of luck gentlemen.
INDIANA PACERS + 2.5 (-110) - - - This Indy roster is stacked with a lot of talent. Each individual player has specific attributes that are key to a successful team. The only problem with a heavy rotation like this is trying to find an identity. I think the coaching staff is finding it very hard to find a rotation but as soon as they set a steady rotation and concept this team is gonna make some noise. They have five legitimate big men who an play that 4/5 spot and rebound and defend. It is a rarity for a team to have three of four of those type of men let alone five. Foster, Tyler and Solomon all come off the bench and add some major size. Hibbert and Troy are a legit starting PF and C. Versatile players like Earl Watson and Dahntay Jones can defend their positions very well and if they provide any type of consistent offense this team is difficult to beat. T.J Ford and Brandon Rush continue to get that backcourt starting spots but I do eventually see Rush losing that spot. The return of Mike Dunleavy only makes this team deeper and more deadly. He seems like he still has a hell of a shot and if he can legitimize himself as the second scorer behind Granger this team can build that identity. Warriors are not as deep as Indy, they go as far as Monte takes them, he can't be on every night. Radmanovic is providing some solid minutes but he cannot be counted on for the long haul. Indy out-matches them in every way, this run and gun late night affair should be a good one, I think Indy wins this baby SU.
10 UNITS RIK SMITS - - -
DALLAS MAVERICKS - 8 (-140) - - - I was straight up on the wrong side when I backed Dallas vs Cavs. King and his crew played an immaculate game and really outplayed the Mavs from start to finish. Despite that I am still very high on this team. They are very very good. Jason Terry is just a stud. He puts the ball in the bucket and is a huge offensive weapon to have on the 2nd unit. Look for Gooden to bounce back after a bad game. Dirk and Marion match-up very well against Philly. 76ers are on a back to back doing a Texas two-some after a hard fought game against San An. Philly has not been very impressive on back to backs except for a revenge game in Boston where they kept it close. Tonight a tired roster will head into Dallas to face the best after a loss and 1 day rest team in the NBA. Dallas is a perfect 4-0 after a loss beating the Lakers, Toronto, Minny and Houston by an average of 21 points per game!! Dallas is 5-0 SU on 1 days rest and 4-1 ATS. This team is deep and I refuse to sleep on them. Mavs to the bank.

My only concern is that the Mavs have yet to cover up DD at home this year. 0-2 ATS, but that won't last, infact, maybe not even another day witha tired Philly squad...
Nice write ups, GL

Mavs are solid this year.

I'm liking Dallas. Not enough scorers for Philly. And they just covered last night at Spurs. I don't see them having enough tank to match an offensive team like Dallas. And the home team just came from a loss. They haven't been on b2b losses this season. Mavs are looking fine. GL
