nba TUESDAY! thought provoking...

[johnnyb.]

normally i let you guys start the threads and i just look for interesting opinions...but some you just post picks which to me is worthless without giving reasons. not trying to offend anybody just think maybe somebody else feels the same way?
so here goes:
clipps +1 over heat, love this line... clipps are banged -up but very healthy on front line with brand and olowkandi. they will exploit heat lack of big men and win a close game...

hornets +3.5 vs. pistons, pistons are great team to bet on the road but at home giving up points... i'll take the hornets! baron davis looks incredible this year.

sonics +2 over wiz! come on, are you serious? giving points to the better team who scores, rebounds and defends better. tryonn lue vs. gary payton... hahaha
would love to here some opinions
good luck to all!

hmm...only play i really like is the seattle one.

one play that jumps out is Houston -2.5 over Portland.

Houston is rested. Portland played at Dallas and played the Mavs tough but didnt cover the 8.

Then they travel to Houston (ok it's not that far) to play a Rockets team that is dangerous and has good depth. Hmm...

Washington defends and rebounds better than Seattle thus far. I'm not saying Washington is the play, but double check your numbers. I'm also looking at this game. Will post tomorrow if I decide to play it. Good luck!

I have no comment on the heat game, but I do like the Sonics getting 2 points tomorrow night. I do however disagree with the Hornets. So far they have been a bad road team. Their only road win was an OT game against the pitiful Knicks. Their loss came to the Bulls and it wasnt as clase as the 5 pt. difference indicates. The Pistons are 2-0 at home but I look at the 39 pt. embarrassment in their last gameas the reason for the Pistons. I just think they rebound with a win.

I dont like to talk down on people's picks but I like to try to help and make them think about other things. Sorry if I offended you.

no offense, on the contrary its this kinda give and take that produces consisent winners. thanks fellas continue to bring it!

like the clippers too. just too athletic for the heat and as long as brand is playing well they can play with anyone.

out of the last 5 games hornets have played in det. covered 4. good numbers but still leary of a team that has had trouble covering this year. a wait and see kind of a team.

sonics are playing the last game of a long road trip. always a stay away or bet against situation for me. personally would not touch it especially against an up and down team like wash.

gl with all your plays
