Hey John, I noticed there were several lookahead games in the NBA tonight for some of the better teams. Do you ever use that angle in your handicapping? And have you found it to be profitable? My dad was a NFL handicapper back in the early 80's before the strike and he still, til this day, preaches about the lookahead games. I would be interested to hear your opinion about it.

play taking the OVER in the Miami Heat-New York Knicks showdown set to start at 1:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that 200 or more points will be scored in this game. The Miami have the best supporting cast in the NBA and it showed in their last game. They defeated Memphis, who had won eight straight games without James shooting the lights out. It marked only the second time he has shot under 40% from the field in a game this season. The Knicks have blown out Miami twice this season and the second time was without the scoring services of Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks have defeated the Heat with strong perimeter shooting, especially from beyond the arc. This has been the one game plan that the Heat have trouble with this season. When an opponent can spread the Heat defense and force them to respect the perimeter, it opens up the paint play for posts and cutters to score near the rim. The Knicks best in the NBA averaging 29.1 3-point shots per game and first in averaging 10.1 made 3-point shots per game. They don’t have a strong power game in the box overall, but when they start to rain in 3’s, there are opportunities in the paint and to set up mismatches with Anthony posting up. I don’t see the Heat having a consistent answer for this matchup and will simply have to use James, Wade, and Bosh to hopefully outscore the Knicks. Take the OVER.

Yeah, this is really shady -- especially given how patient SBR has been with his atrocious record in the past year.
