That was mentioned, yes, and as for the China trip comparison, no comparison.  Two hour time difference between Orlando and Mexico City.  Thirteen hour time difference between Orlando and Shanghai.  The flight from Orlando to Mexico City is just under 2,000 miles.  The flight from Orlando to Shanghai is just over 8,000 miles.

One thing i wish we discussed more was how teams matchup against eachother.

This matters more than you think, and I'm wondering if books have the full capacity to that into consideration.

What I mean by that is, like people pointed out, Utah was close to beating GS last time out, dispite the poor shooting from Mitchell, and without Mitchell they get blown out.

Well, maybe he has poor shooting because Klay and Livingston guard him and long reach causes Donovan problems.

I'm just providing 1 example, but I wish this was discussed more in these threads. The actual Xs and Os of the game and how it effects the result.

The Magic were back in Orlando on Saturday night after playing the Jazz in Mexico City on Saturday afternoon.  The Spurs hosted the Sixers on Monday night and I assume traveled to Orlando yesterday.

You gotta love sports betting, right guys?



Sports betting has everything to love and hate...but, mostly love.
Your insight and picks are always interesting and appreciated.  The only game I don’t like is the Magic.  Besides the point about coming off a win in Mexico, the Magic really found their spark on the road...now coming back they have an impressive win over the Jazz.  No comment on the Bulls, since they only close out games when Vegas is ready to collect.  I’ve been dissapointed time and time again from the Magic at home and this isn’t the spot to capitalize....I rather them Sunday vs the Heat.  The Spurs lost at home to the Magic and on principle, I can’t back the other side of a revenge game.
I do like the Rockets as they are doing damage.  Ariza changes the chemistry for any team to the better.  He has great length making him a dangerous shooter and defender.  There is still time for him to find the flow with this fast paced Wiz.  This sets up even better for the Rockets to lose tomorrow.

You're absolutely right.  League Pass junkies, let your voices be heard.

Well, now I know. The Magic stink without the big guy. No inside game and no shooters. Meanwhile the Spurs shooters are silky smooth.

The Spurs and Magic have been taking turns destroying each other over the last two seasons. It looks like the tradition continues.

This team is NEVER to be trusted, they are terrible at the 3 ball and defending the 3 ball, so if the other team is hot, Orl falls behind quick and cannot go tit for tat.



LineKiller28 called it.

That was an unpleasant hour of basketball. The Spurs swished 10 of their 15 three-point attempts. Open shots are easy shots.

I'm sure we've all seen crazier things. Let's hold out a little more hope. bigsmile
