    Knicks ML @ PHX

    PHX imo is one of the worst teams in the NBA. Their quality contributors off the bench are jared dudley and leandro barbosa, two washed up vets. Brandon Knight doesn't fit with this team. They start two bigs with Len and Chandler. Bledsoe is not a good passer. Team is a mess imo.

    Tonight PJ Tucker will try and smother Melo, and if he doesn't hold Melo to about 5-16 shooting, I don't see how Suns will win this game. I see Melo shitting on PJ Tucker and Porzingus should be able to do what he wants against Len. Rose is a good defender and he will cause some problems for Bledsoe. And Booker is dealing with another good perimeter defender in Courtney Lee. I don't see anyone from PHX really making an imprint on this game. Knicks are a bad interior defensive team, but unless Len or Chandler go off, which I don't see happening, I'm not sure how smooth the PHX offense is gonna run. The Knicks have 3 legit players that can make anything happen on any play, even if the play falls apart, they have the ability to play 1 on 1. No one on PHX can play 1 on 1 not even Bledsoe.

    Like it as well. Though, anything can happen. Melo has been playing well. He could have an off night. I hope not. I'll probably bet the Knicks. Still debating.

    Tucker outplayed Melo.

    3-15 shooting for Carmelo. He's still a good player but he's not the same guy he was 4-5 years ago. You need to realize this Goat.

    The biggest issue Melo faces these days is he can't finish around the rim like he used to. He misses a lot of layups because he simply can't finish high around the rim anymore in traffic. He's got a big body so he should be able to continue scoring 20 points a night for a couple more years just based on his ability to create space on post ups but he's not the same player who could score 35-40 points almost seemingly at will.

    Porzingis is beginning to carry this team. Once he fouled out they were done because melo goes back into throw him the ball, hold onto for 20 seconds then jack a shot. Hes the biggest waste of talent. Just never learns

    This fool constantly posts "breakdowns" of a game with analysis that expired 8 years ago.

    His fellatio of Melo in this thread is a perfect example. Fvcking idiot.

    Bledsoe 0-5 first half and Booker missed 80% of his shots. Yet the Suns still managed to win. Yes Melo had an off night but THIS WAS the spot everyone was waiting for to fade the knicks. Its a miracle they kept this game close.

    You can thank porzingod for that. Dude single handedly made phx backers shit themselves

    I knew this bet was fukked when D Rose went down. Was counting on him to guard Bledsoe.

    Bigs you were on the wrong side of this pick long term. If Rose plays, Suns have 0 chance of winning that game. Knicks were right call.

    Bad break for knicks and under bettors. Rose out at ht. 101-95 lead with 2 minutes left. Porzingis fouls out in ot. Melo terrible down the stretch

    Knicks weren't the right call. Please do not use Derrick Rose as an excuse for a loss in the year 2016.

    Knicks were winning this game late in the 4th without their 3rd best player, who is arguably better than the Suns best player. He certainty wouldn't have let Bledsoe score 30, that's for sure. Rose is a good defender. He's bigger stronger and faster than Bledsoe and can stay in front of him. Knicks had no answer for him, and the Suns won in overtime after Porzingus fouled out as well and Melo was bricking midrange jumpers all game -- It took all that for the Suns to win.... So if they play this game again, and everyone is playing, you're taking the Suns? Hell no. Knicks were right call.

    Knicks literally trailed the entire game until the late stages and still lost.

    In same situation in phx with the same line im betting phx every single time. Thats the main differnrce between me and most others. Even without rose u think porzingus is playing like he did every night?

    Na won't play like that every night but it's about matchups and he had a good one in this game. Can't predict when shots fall just the matchup, Suns don't matchup well with the Knicks. They're gonna lose that game 7 times out of 10 so I will take Knicks ML everytime. Zingy will play good against Suns again -- he's improved so much this year and is an all-star -- but Melo won't play that bad, and Bledsoe will have to deal with Rose all game. Don't think he'll have anywhere near that stat line against Rose. And then the Suns would have no closer as well if you limit Bledsoe late.

    Different philosophies.

    Not betting on top 3 worst team in NBA against a contender in the Eastern Conference on a -2 spread on slim chance that they play game of their lives or a big piece gets injured.

    Most of time when we are on same play it is cash money. Have noticed that over last few years.

    My philosophy for betting NBA is as follows. Don't fade the Suns (ever) and fade the Bulls and Hawks anytime they're favored by 5.5-9 points

    By not fading Phoenix, I'm not saying I'm picking them to cover always.. There's just better options. Like betting on a team like Tennessee in the NFL.. Why would anyone do that?
