    this teaser looks like worth a go to me

    bulls +8.5
    kings +9
    lakers +6.5

    at bodog can get a +8 sweetheart

    only game that scares me would be the laker game
    chicago knows it can hang with miami now and they don't back down so that puts me a little at ease

    kings have played spurs tough all year except that one game in playoffs but they gotta start believing they can pull it out and i never thought this was the spurs year

    suns have punked lakers before....can phil keep them mentally strong where not everyone on this team has shown that consistently except kobe? as long as they play that good defense they somehow found...they got a good shot

    1 unit only

    +9 kings seems out of wack...is there an injury to someone on sac?

    Yeah, if the Suns cover 6.5, I think it might be because they win by 25- it's one of those games where they either lose SU or cover easily.

    The good thing about betting the Suns tomorrow, is that they shouldn't be playing 5-on-8 again. Not only is it in Phoenix, Stern will wait for game 6 to order that the Lakers win.

    You never know with Stern. He may play it safe and order the Lakers series win in 5, but that makes little monetary sense, so Suns are probably a good bet.

    Posted by Winston Smith in another thread.

    What am I missing in the Bulls/Heat series?

    The Heat have no perimeter defense. The Bulls are the best team in the league in Opp Fg%. Shaq has been essentially neutralized. In-fighting between Peyton and Wade.

    IMO, the disparity between these two teams is more like a 4-5 matchup than a 2-7, and the Bulls have a legitimate chance to win the series (as I said going in).

    But, they're catching 8.5 in Miami again? What do people see in Miami, because I see a random collection of players who aren't in sync with only one consistent offensive threat.

    Every game in the PHX-LAL series has gone under. Even the OT game.
    Lakers have slowed down PHX (forget run and gun), and both teams have tightened up on defense, so I don't see how this total could go over. Only thing is, it looks too easy. Thoughts?
