With you on Bucks and Clippers. I feel Bobcats can win because of fatigue factor. Blazers will be playing their 6 games in 9 nights and their starters always play heavy mins.

You make an exceptional point there, however I feel like the Portland players are good enough athletes to complete this game. The starting 5 is just far too strong for the Bobbies in my opinion.

Here are some thoughts on 3 games i am likely to play tomorrow. Im weary about it because not long ago the blazers/bucks screwed me but I think they are in a strong position here. Give me your thoughts, disagree or agree I wanna hear em.

Portland +1.5

Portland are an incredibly tough team to cap because you are basically betting on all of their starters to be lights out. It’s well known now that they have arguably the worst bench in the NBA and it is their starters that win them games. I just think that the Portland starting 5 is too big of a mismatch over the Bobcats and they should utilize the mismatches all over the floor to grind out a win. Aldridge will get his jumper all day and Lillard should have some nice looks shooting over a smaller Kemba Walker. The biggest mismatch on the floor I believe is Wesley Matthews who is just too big and athletic for any one on the Bobcats. I expect him to get out of his shooting slump and put up some solid production.

Bucks -4

The Bucks for me are one of the comeback kings so far of this season, they have been down and out in many games and came back firing to win, this is namely due to streaky shooting. The Bucks are certainly in the race for picking up the 8^th spot in the East and will be looking at collecting “easy” wins and nailing these. I believe the Hornets will have no answers for the Milwaukee backcourt. I have been extremely impressed by John Henson who has taken the starting role off Ilysaova, he has been really active on the glass and putting up some nice points. The good thing about the Henson situation is it is making Ilysova work and since the switch he has been putting up numbers we are used to seeing. A great return to the team is Mbah a Moute who offers some great size off the bench and he is efficient. Sanders has been a surprise package, he torched the Celtics in their last game and was pulling down boards all over the place. Many will think the backcourt is what will allow the Bucks to cover this game however it is the bigs off the bench that I think will subsequently do the damage. There is too much size and skill on this lineup for the Hornets, the Bucks just need to focus on maintaining a lead.

Clippers -2
Tough call here but I believe the Clippers have the goods in Utah, since their OT loss to the Thunder way back in mid November the Clippers have been on a slide. I think they have settled down now and can get back on track, Chauncey back into the side creates a lot more stability in the team and some much needed experience down the stretch. It must be said that Utah are a completely different side when they play at home, currently undefeated and in possession of one of the best front courts in the NBA it will be a daunting task for the Clippers. The first thing I like about this play here is that there are a number of Utah players that are banged up, Marvin Williams is recovering from a concussion, Favors having trouble with his foot and Carroll is having shoulder pain. Regardless whether they play or not they will not be 100% and this will certainly effect the depth of the Jazz side. I think the Clippers have the size to deal with the Jazz but it needs to be a collective effort defensively that puts them over the edge. Bench production in my opinion will be the reason for the cover, Barnes has been surprisingly productive and is stroking the 3 quite well, Crawfords production has declined which was expected with the return of Chauncey but he is still a key offensive player.

Very nice. Who says Aussies don't know NBA? I'd like to ad add a couple of points

*Luc Mbah a Moute's return is massive for the Bucks. May take a couple of games to adjust to NBA pace, however this is one guy who keeps himself in supreme physical condition and is without doubt one of the premier defenders in the NBA. Can completely take guys out of a game and has the rare ability to be able to guard anyone from 1-4 (Lebron the only other guy who can do this).

** Both Williams and Favors are 50/50 to play. Unlikely they both suit up against the Clip's.

***Portland actually really match up well with Bobcats. Cannot be understated. Bobcats two main weapons in Walker and MKG are both outmatched at their respective positions by Lillard and Batum although I am slightly worried MKG could physically "bully" Batum. Also Hornets X-factor in Gordon likely struggle against a bigger, solid defensive player in MAtthews. Lets see how many wide open mid-range jumpers Matthews gives him. Common knoledge on any scouting report on Gordon, YOU DON'T LET HIM HEAT UP. Guy reminds me of John Starks from the Knicks, pressure him defensively and keep him "cold" and he will remain a non factor. Let him hit a few wide open mid-range J's and if he heats up he will then demand Kobe style double teamsd and still hit his J all night long.

I agree, Mbah is a great return. Bucks actually have some nice depth here.

Utah will be hurt if both don't play or even one of them missing the game, either way they won't be 100%.

Gordon is deadly but I think the Blazers can put some lengthy defenders on him that should disrupt his jumper. Batum shouldn't have any trouble with MKG in my opinion, guy is a warrior. Matthews is the key here, defensively he will be on point but if his shots should be game over.

You nailed it in one "potential" return, it's a non factor. Either way I don't think it changes, if anything it might put the Cats out of rhythm. Matthews will do a fine job on him.

**nba2013** · 12-03-12, 04:56 AM

Cats -1.5 x 4k
Portland are a bogie team
they really are up and down and i dont see them

If they get off to a good start the raptors then it will be close game.

**aussieH** · 12-03-12, 05:51 AM

I am liking the bucks as well. line already at 4.5 at tab. Jumped on sports bet at -4

On the blazers I think people will take them on as they think they will be tired from the long road trip and the ot game. I am backing their starting 5 as well to grab the points in this one

You should not be betting on the NBA. Not even with SBR points, let alone 20K per day.
