Dallas/Indy

[SIMON]

Indy ML +120 ( 5 units)
This is as close as a lock as possible

The streak ends today.

Reasons:
1) Indy at home
2) Holiday at home
3) Equal teams
4) Ron Artest - all he has to do is stop Dirk
5) Jermaine O'Neal - center at home (see below)

This so-called NBA league is weak.
Where is the day of the center ? Long ago ?

Doug Moe built a Denver team just like this Dallas team
in the 80's...but there were too many big centers in the league
back then so it didn't work.
Today...you can get away with that crap. Run and gun.
a lot of jump shooting....small guards...most can't shoot.

Dallas has shown last year...that against teams that can play
defense and score points ..they have trouble with.
Kings and Lakers for example.

Dallas will not win every game this year.
Perfect spot for a loss against a first place team.

Also - knowing what kind of a dickhead coach Isiah Thomas is....
He'd love to stop this streak Dallas has.

Only one Dallas team winning today.....Cowboys

This Dallas streak is a joke

One intra-division game ???

Playing a majority of their games against crappy non-scoring teams......

Phoenix W 97-83
Mon, Nov 4 Golden State W 107-100 ( Home Opener )
Wed, Nov 6 at Toronto W 106-92 ( non scoring)
Fri, Nov 8 at Chicago W 114-87 ( Bulls on road still bad)
Sat, Nov 9 Detroit W 114-75 ( non scoring )
Mon, Nov 11 Portland W 82-73 ( non-scoring criminals)
Wed, Nov 13 at Cleveland W 103-99 ( Bad team - Bad coach)
Fri, Nov 15 at Boston W 97-86 ( Good win )
Sat, Nov 16 at New Jersey W 96-88 ( Good win)
Tue, Nov 19 LA Lakers W 98-72 (No Shaq)
Thu, Nov 21 Houston W 103-90 ( .500 team)
Sat, Nov 23 Seattle W 115-105 ( Seattle had em.Blew it)
Wed, Nov 27 at Detroit W 102-82 ( SCORE POINTS !)

How good is this Dallas team...really ?

I know they can shoot...but one intra-division game ?
Who set this schedule ?
Is the NBA REALLY that bad ????

Looks like David Stern wants them in the finals against the Kings.

And all against teams with NO CENTER and against teams that
have rouble putting points in the basket.

I would agree...........

I would agree...........

BUT the teams Indy has beat'n aren't much to write home about either if ya scroll down their list of victims.

I think both the Mav's and Pacer's defense's are a liitle "over rate" based on the caliber of the teams they've played so far this season.

Beat of Luck to ya......Simon. ez

Go through the "Good win" "Bad win" analysis for Indiana and you will find fewer good wins than Dallas has! Indiana hasn't beaten any decent team at home this year and lost to Detroit. Dallas should continue the streak against a decent but not great Indiana team that does not rank with the Lakers (of last year) and the Kings.

Happy Thanksgiving and GL to you.

Not a bad pick, but to say that any 14 game winning streak is a joke, is a little silly. :nono:

I don't care one way or another as long as both teams score a lot.

Good luck

I never said it was a joke...winning 14 is tough enough.
In the end...the same thing that Indy is doing to Dallas...
The Kings will do to them in the playoffs....

I thought it was like an over-inflated stock.
The value of it....was not impressive to me.

PS
I heard Dallas' teammates call Nowitski "IRK".......
........cause he plays no "D"
