lol yeah you're right haha. my bad. if it usually happens that rested teams get rusty, i think POP is aware of this and probably knows what he's doing.

Dude, did you watch the last Spurs game?  Parker, Ginobili, Finley, Duncan....all rested the entire game...didn't play a single minute. Pops pretty much just threw in the towel on this game as a trade off for the rest for this upcoming east coast road trip that includes 3 games in 4 nights over this next few days.  Spurs could hold their own but I don't like betting against Boston @ home; they're just too damn tough.  Under looks like a very good play though.

trust me I watched it... I had them to cover the 6 against Denver haha... I was quite pissed off... but I don't see the rest as hurting them... Tony Parker is going to do what he does and give rondo all he can handle... I'm not saying the Spurs win this one... but the cover is likely in my opinion... I say Boston wins by 3 or 4 in a tight game...

I just bought into the rested Spurs machine @ +8 (bought .5) and Under 188.  Screw it, I had a good day in NCAAB so I'll throw some change at this game.  Besides, I gotta have something to watch at 9:00 AM tomorrow when I get up.
 
I think this total finishes up in the high 170's or low 180's at best.
 
I agree that Boston proabably wins it  Boston 87 - SA 83

Keep posting guys... we need to help each other here so we all win some dough. Right now my lean is teasing SPURS and LAKERS

LAKERS +9 and SPURS +12.5 (-130)

I just really doubt it that these 2 teams will lose by double digit. They are both rested and fully charged.

seems like a likely score to me... I just can't see that San Antonio hasn't been jammin' in film sessions and practicing to prepare for this exact game the last four days... they need a big win to make a statement on a big sunday... I think Rondo gets flustered in this one which will slow the pace down tremendously... gonna be a tight one.. gotta take Spurs gettin the points... nothing stinky about this line in my opinion althought I'm no genius...
 
BOL Jerry... hopefully turns out how we think

Cavs game is hard to cap I hear... What if you boil it down to this: Kobe V Lebron? 

I like Lebron and I think he is a little pissed.   Granted Kobe is always pissed and whiney and ultra competitive, and plays with a chop on his shoulder...

I like Lebron to take it to a new level...which he has been making quite the habit of doing this year.

And I like how the Spurs match up against the Celtics a lot.  Parker anwers Rondo. Duncan answers KG. Both at their best when playing great defense and scoring around ninety.

Take the Cavs and the Spurs in a tease.

if you boil it down to Kobe vs. Lebron.. Lebron at home takes the bread.. although that makes them the Cavs of last year... the Cavs of this year are much better when everyone gets involved... I like the Lakers in this one in a team effort to cover... Odom playing great in Bynums absence and Gasol outdoes big Z in only his 4th game back, his jumpshooting has been iffy .. hasn't been sticking those 12-15 footers he ussually does... Cavs finally drop one at home... might be some Value in Lakers ML... Kobe is gonna take this one personally...

Big, you bring up good points..But I'm going with the good guy(Lebron) in this one. Also - how amp'd will Kobe be for All-Star game if he loses this game.

No Rad-Man-O'-Bitch, no problem. The Lakers are not gonna miss his 7 or 8 points per game.

Lakers should keep this one close if not win outright.  I can't get the moneyline at night but I'll probably play a little on the ML when I can get it tomorrow.  It paid off well for me in the Boston game.  Right now I got LAL +5 (bought .5).  Don't know about the O/U though; it's hard to tell if this one's going to get crazy and go over or if we have a tightly played, well defensed game.

Lakers win every game on their road trip? In the mean time stopping the Cavs home winning streak? But if anyone can it's Kobe and Phil. And LeBron is on a stage, which he loves.Boston I believe playing 4 games in three days (could be wrong, late night, don't want to look it up now), early game against a rested, but probably little rusty Spurs (who are the freakin Spurs still). These two games are nuts. Call your neighbor over for a beer, flip a freakin coin and call it a day. Why even play these games

The secret about the Spurs is that they've been quite beatable for a while now when playing on the road against elite teams.

And yet the Celtics handled the Spurs in both meetings last season, winning and covering both games.
