Sonics -4

Jazz -4

Added games......

Milwaukee +6 1/2

Milwaukee Money line +220

Wasington -4

Cavs -2

Milwaukee kills sa with there midrange game, they did it last game and they did it the last 5 games all milwaukee wins over sa. Ray allen is not expected to play, if he does that would be a big bonus, but they didnt have him in sa last week, and they were on a back to back last week as well. All that added up to a double digit milwaukee win in sa. Sa knew full well there weakness against this team, and still had no chance to stop it, and the fact that the bucks are playing really well for the first time all year and blew out hornets from go allowed them to take it easy last night and never really had to play hard to win. All of the bucks players got rolling last night look for it to continue tonight as sa losses 3 in a row.

Washington is playing really well, other than there one game in indy theyve been terrific over there last 10-13 games. They dominated the game in the hive last week until mj took hes sit at the end of the 3rd quarter. Hornets went on a 19-4 run and a 6 pt win. Baron davis is not expected to play tonight..so that means either he plays wesley at the point, or he starts bryce drew. To quote the exact words of paul silas last night "without lynch and mashburn we are not a very good team" well then what are you without your best player in davis? Washington gets them in a back to back situation with just about everything going wrong with them, great spot for washington.

Explaining why a team is gonna beat the bulls is usually not needed, however, bulls do have 4 home wins and 1 loss by 1 pt. They are not pushovers at home and the cavs are on a back to back. That being said, this is a game that the cavs must and should win if they have any hope at the playoffs. Murray is a question mark, if he plays this game wont be close. The bulls will be playing a lot more of the kids now that floyd is gone, thats why the jerrys went and got a guy they thought they could control in cartwright. The bulls have had no time to work on anything, and if you watch them play offense you have no idea what there trying to do....they have no plan at all.

Well, i loved this seattle game a lot before the raptors pulled off a huge win in la and before they played every key player a ton of minutes with that short bench, and before they won in a very very emotional game. Also, before carter got hurt, i think this one is about as set up as a game can get.


Even if carter plays, which seeing hes injury i highly doubt, theres no way hes gonna want to drive to the hoop after the way he fell tonight. If carter doesnt play, seattle can name the score they want as payton will guard there 2nd best threat in willams, and davis cant score with baker on him. This game could be ugly without carter, even with him they lose by 20. Sonics are now 13-2 vs teams when not on a back to back since nov.10th with mason in the lineup.
Seattle is 5-0 su and vs the number in there last 5. Also seattle is perfect ats when they play with rest vs a team with no rest.

Utah finally has got all there cogs clicking, theyve got 5 good players to close the game for the first time all year in marshall, kirlenko, stockton, malone and russel. There problem was not getting leads it was holding onto them. Its not an accident they started playing better when russel came back.


Utah is terrific when they have rest, and there facing a philly team in shambles losing to a horrible nugget team last night and now on there 4th game in 5 nights. 4 games in 5 nights isnt the kiss of death unless you have tons of problems, like they do, and if you play a really short bench, like they do. They only go about 6 deep on the road that play real minutes and remember guys like snow arent in full shape yet.

Two more games im probably gonna be on are washington and the cavs...i would of been on wash for sure last night but davis got hurt and they pulled it off the board...will see what the line is soon...

good luck

42-21 YTD

I really like all of them, i like cavs the least, if you made me pick id say sea, i try to bet equal amounts on all my games as my overall % seems to outweigh my guessing skills on which ones will come through...65% last year sitting at 64% overall this year...

If he doesn't play any better than last time out he might be more of a negative for Char than a positive.

What was he 1 of 10 in the 1st half??

GL anyhow dnugs. ez

alien....i dont think that chicago wins period, they had a lot of things go there way in that first half but im not touching that game because clev is on a back to back and teams on a back to back quit if they dont make an early run......if you took the other games i had i think youll still be fine either way.

thanks for the response. I did take Wash and Indy earlier. Doing good so far. Want to take sonics but the line is @ -9. Scared me a little.
BTW you are doing a great job.
