Boys just working on my final pick then will do some analysis, I'll start with the Knicks game seeing as that is the game everyone is so interested in, and yes I am aware J-Kidd is out. Knicks may live and die by the three ball but Bucks can be rather 1 dimensional as well. Was talking with my good buddy RealDeal last night and I said "Bucks are under-rated" and he replied "Bucks live and die by their jump shot" which is a rather short and concise analysis of their playing style I must admit.
*Shim I will never change a pick once it's locked in. It would take an extraordinary turn of events pre match.
**On a side note, my boy Chauncey Billups returns for the Clippers tonight, give him a week or two and this team will be so much more dangerous.Comment -
NBA
NY @ Milwaukee
Knicks -1.5 (-112 Pinnacle) 2.5x
Charlotte @ Atlanta
Hawks -8.5 (-110 Pinnacle) 2x
* Korver and Stevenson will play. Harris and Smith are expected to play. All 4 are expected to be playing against the Bobcats.
Phoenix @ Detroit
Pistons -3 (-109 Pinnacle) 1.5x
Houston @ OKC - AKA the return of the bearded one
Rockets +10 (-105 Pinnacle) 1x
*Been trying to talk myself out of this one for half hour, but can't do it. Simply too many points for OKC to lay, can't ignore the value. parsons and Asik playing great. The bearded one returns and I expect Westbrook to try and guard him in a heated match up and for Harden to burn him and play a massive game in front of the OKC faithful (as Green did recently in C's game). Lin may struggle today, but the Rocket bigs playing great ball and I expect them to pick up the slack. Their also may some emotional charge left in the tank from the tragic McHale incident?
NBA Total of the day
Brooklyn @ Boston
Under 190.5 (-110 Pinnacle) 1.5x
*Unfortunately we missed the 191.5 but I can still see some value at 190.5. Have this total at 185-186, not hard to envision a 90-88 type scoreline in this one, Boston are surprisingly the more proficient offensive team however they will not be getting second looks today as C's horrible rebounding team against a stellar rebounding team and a damn fine defensive unit led by Wallace, Evans and Humphries.

Only thing that would scare me if I"m on the Knicks is the speed of the Bucks backcourt. They are far quicker than any perimeter defender for the Knicks. Felton Brewer and Smith are all way to slow so I was expect some defensive collapses from the Knicks in that respect. Thinking about taking the Bucks myself but not sure now that I see you're on the knicks.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
why u don't take portland?Comment -
I agree mate 100% both Jennings and Ellis way too quick for Felton and Brewer, not sure about JR, I think it's more a lack of effort on D than actual speed but I am loathe to argue with you when it comes to individual match-ups. Schumpert would of course come in handy to guard Ellis, but on the flip side no Mbah a Moute to stop Carmello means I can see him torching Harris, Dunleavy and anyone else Skiles tries on him, he really is in vintage 'MeloMan mode ATM, although with Kidd out I think he needs to facilitate a tad more, 40 point "Kobe mode" probably wont win the game. However was also was very impressed with Chandler against the Nets and can see him having another good night against "old man" Dalembert who has cooled off a bit since his nice start to the season. Dalembert strong in the post but Chandler is too athletic for him, can imagine the Knicks working on Dalembert for early foul trouble, because depth wise I don't rate much coming in after Samuel. Sanders is ok but I think Chandler can dominate with speed and size/strength in that matchup.Last edited by sando; 11-28-12, 05:39 PM.Comment -

** Sorry boys I'm running really late with my analysis on Knicks and other picks, I'm still going to do some, just trying to get my new monitor set-up sorted out (I'm a bit of a caveman with technology haha).

sando - chandler parsons being out tonight affect your opinion of the hou/okc game?
Chandler Parsons won't play Wednesday night due to a sore shoulder.Comment -
Comment -
Damn, I didn't get that one on any of my injury reports? Plus I watched the Rockets yesterday, and he played the game out, even finished with a dunk, I don't remember him hurting his shoulder - WTF? Although I was paying more attention to the Kings game. Anyway luckily it's our lowest unit play and yeah I still like it as long as you can get 10+ although if you haven't placed your wagers yet, you can get +10.5 now. This is a BIG day for Harden today, people are expecting he will get a standing ovation from the OKC faithful, but I am not convinced. Those "white noise" nutters are as crazy as the Sonics fans used to be...Comment -
no parsons is a killer blowComment -
4, 2 and 1 were sick. Otherwise I've seen better crossovers this year from Jamal than are on that list. #9 - not even a crossover, DeRozan stayed with him and it was simply a great "and 1", #5 WTF - not a crossover either, just some fancy dribbling. Don't get me wrong I love Crawford, in fact in a write up for a Clippers pick the other day I was talking him up and saying how he is breaking ankles and winding back the clock, however if you think this dude is in the same league as Hardaway and Iverson, then all hope is lost for you brother. (joke)Comment -
Good luck tonight sando!!!Comment -
