Tuesday picks

[dnuggets]

Phi -1

Mckie/snow/iverson will finally be on the floor at the same time for the first time this year. While atlanta is improved, there a terrible defensive team and will have there problems scoring with a less than 100% rahim. Philly is a very talented team that loves to win on the road thats in a very much need win spot. DC is probably out but blount can carry the rebound and defensive load for this game.


Miami +3

Points in this game are just a gift, mia should win this game outright. They almost had milwaukee in milwaukee earlier this year without zo, gatling or jackson. With gatling and jackson playing and zo returning to hes all star form over the last 4 games the heat finally have some offensive punch. Milwaukee is one of the worst rebounding teams ive ever seen there in the bottom 3 (didnt check there recent rank) ellis/zo/grant/gatling combo are gonna kill them on the boards.


5-2 ytd
should have more before tip...

just wanted to say, I like seeing new people come around with class. You seem to really know your stuff and not toot any loud horns. Just refreshing to see a new addition to the team of cappers.

Thanks for all of your input.

I think dnuggets is someone we might want to keep an eye on.

thanks dawgball

adding a few more

Wash -2

I was a little hesitant on this one only because i do think battier can contain mj at least somewhat, and i have a hard time figuring out who is gonna guard gasol off washington. That being said, washington has won 4 in a row on the road with mj(one loss in the middle without mj) The difference isnt so much what mj is doing although he has looked better of late, its more haywood whos a lot lot better than i think anyone though he would be including me, davis shooting the j's and lue leading the offense. Add all those together get a red hot rip hamilton and you can win some games.


Clev +1
This seems like a possible trap game, eventually houston will win but id be more afraid if they were a vet team like miami, young players start to except losing even more so when they arent used to winning as several of there players have not been on winning teams. Cato probably will not go and the cat is a game time decs and will not be 100% either way. Cavs on the other hand are finally healthy, and despite there record and some problems do have talent. Z makes all the difference in this team and the cavs are actually more comfortable on the road due to there lack of fan support at home.

dnuggets-

ditto dawgball's comments

for whats it worth, I'm taking Miami for +1/2 in the second quarter. Based on my research, it looks like MILW comes out strong in the FQ, then tapers off in the 2Q.

GL tonight

4-1 night, could of easily been 5-0 if not for snow not playing, and the sixers blowing 8 pt 4th quarter lead....

Just for the record...

I have seen dnuggets at another site (with a unique name like that, I'm assuming this must be the same person). He had a VERY good reputation at the other site for picking winners...though I am not over there too frequently anymore.

Anyways, he IS someone to keep an eye on, he wins. Welcome to the forum DNug.
