Boy, are these lines tight today. On a day like today you have to find an angle and after a couple of hours of searching I believe I have come up with one. Mashburn. I've watched him since his Ky days and 37 points like in the last game with the 76ers is a fluke and that's what it took for them to win. In addition, Phil will show him a little more attention. I look for him to get no more than his ave (22) and if you figure Davis was 4 points over his average, somebody else has to make up 20 points above their ave. Give 2 of the other three starters their normal game and this don't look good. Now let's look at the total. On the surface the line looks dead on at 183'. My scores are 180, 185, and 183. Even this looks mis-leading to me. First of all, Brown is a master at controling tempo and he has already tried running with NO and lost. Since that loss his d is only giving up 84 per game which indicated to me that they are putting a little more emphasis on the d. Paul Silas is also a defensive minded coach and if he gets behind he will turn up the d, especially on the road. You can look at his loses and tell that they try to come back with d. In addition to this, I do not play a dog on the road getting less than 5 points unless I think they can win SU.
Phil - 4
u 183'
In the Phoe game the total looks about right but the side looks too high even if Ray Allen don't play. Think they are looking for Mil money so be careful.
Good luck everyone
