Phil's Thrills for Friday 2/1 - San Antonio anyone?

[Phil Turcotte]

Light week this week. Took a couple nights off from posting which turned out to be good as I had a little bit of a run last night. Monday and Tuesday contributed to a .500 week and closed out the month at 37-29. 56% is barely good enough and I dont like barely good enough.

Tonight I am looking at SA as a pick'em. Yes they lost last night, but the Clippers are scrappy. Recent losses have come to the Nets and twice to the Lakers. I still dont think the Heat are good, I dont care if Zo is back and I dont care if they have won lately and are at home are not.

Anyone else?

Phil, couple of things I'll mention. First, I looked at this line and it appears to be right. At first glance I thought it had to be off and was surprised to find that it wasn't. Second, SA has'nt really being playing that well and I think I know the reason. I believe David Robinson is hurting more than he admits to. Watching hime play the last few games just don't look like the effort I'm used to seeing out him and he's not one to fluff-off. Third, Mia is playing better but not enough for them to be a play for me tonight. Now here is the real reason I'll take a pass. The last couple of weeks SA has given up as many points on the road as they have scored while Mia at home is averaging 7 points more than they are giving up. I can't go with Mia and don't have enough reason to go against them. Good luck either way.
