I think there departures won't really change up much being that there trying to get the right players in the right roles right now working into Larry Brown's defensive system. L.A. is on the end of the 3 game road trip, winning the first two of this road trip there playing with house money I can see a big flop in this spot. Bobcats are on a skid here but this is the team you wanna play to rectify things, especially at home.

Mr. Diamond

Do you have any knowledge if Raja will play tomorrow? I believe his court presence will have a major impact on this game v.s the Clippers.
Im sure you noticed the stat Road Team 7-0-1 ATS but I would bet the previous spreads were not so close. I am definitely taking the OVER 195.5 The numbers are just to good. Let me know your feelings.

I understand your reasoning behind this one. To me, backing the Clippers takes a lot of guts especially when they were injured. But it looks like the Clippers have started to play very well over the past couple games. I never would have expected them to hang 120+ points on the Grizzlies and then the Hawks in consecutive games. That shows me something especially on the road. The Hawks and Grizzlies are by no means top defensive teams but to put up 120+ on any given night is impressive. The talent on the Clippers roster is definitely there. It's just a matter of staying healthy. Baron Davis, Randolph, and Camby are all back and Thornton and Gordon are developing nicely for the future. For the Bobcats, I know there will be some minute-mixing for Larry Brown as he tries different lineups with Vlad, Augustin, and a guy named Cartier Martin, who was signed to his second ten day contract.

This is the latest news from Rotoworld.com:

Bobcats guard Raja Bell will miss at least the next two games with a strained groin. Bell could return for Wednesday's game --giving him a one-game week-- but it seems reasonable that he won't return until after the All-Star break.

on the clips and the over

swagger ISH · 02-09-09, 02:50 AM

ive learned to stay away from overs when the bobcats are involved but the main thing i see when i look at this game is clippers having the edge on charlotte in every position on the court

i know the clippers never ever play to their lineups potential but they are finally healthy and possibly looking to go home on a good note?

i need a winner bad and this is my favorite play on the nba card i see but im just afraid to pull the trigger on the damn clippers

SlowRoll · 02-09-09, 02:54 AM

I feel your pain, I really like the play UNDER on the Hornets at Memphis game, I think that will get you the win you need!

swagger ISH · 02-09-09, 02:58 AM

ewww haha what is that under at
lol those are like two of the worst scoring teams in the nba lol and no cp3

even if its like 175 i say the play is still under
but since the number will be so low its still a lil scary

i needa lock in on somethin gooood tomorrow though.

The # has not came out yet, but I am predicting 189,190 Pretty sure it is a

swagger ISH · 02-09-09, 03:04 AM

naw bro this over/under is gonna be in the 170's its not gonna be 189,190
i dont think so at least

SlowRoll · 02-09-09, 03:13 AM

Maybe thats wishfull thinking on my part but Even if it is 184 it is still a LOCK I think it could be higher though
I hope the linemakers don't see this thread or they might change it on account of you and me.

oh ya lol shhh shh
so the over is the play right?

darrell74 · 02-09-09, 04:49 AM

Clippers last 2:
@ Atlanta won 121-97
@ Memphis won 126-105
Before that, 4 on the road with blowout losses to Cavs, Heat, and Magic.
--and 8 point loss to Wizards.
End of roadie for the Clippers, they're healthy
Bell and Wallace, out for Bobcats
Clippers getting 2 seems like the play
I'll do it

Clippers game just changed to PK on my book right before my eyes. Had to place for fear that the line might shift further.

pbateman · 02-09-09, 10:34 AM

Just put money on the under for the Memphis game. Point total was 186. Someone reassure me that this was a good call.

NBA Hero · 02-09-09, 10:36 AM

im on clips, but i will not say they have an advantage in every position. bobcats have better guards, felton and agustin. davis can be a moron if he feels like throwing the threes, he can get crazy, but that will lessen due to the presence of randolph. gordon over D.j. is a toss up on who will play better.

without raja and wallace, il finally be on the clips

VVET · 02-09-09, 11:08 AM

The total on the memp game is now u187. You might be on to something pb. gonna lock it.

W0lfy · 02-09-09, 11:19 AM

Love the way the clips are playing lately but I haven't forgotten about their blowout games on the rod as well. Ill be on the bobcats at home abd hopefully they get a fresh charge frm their new man vlad.

Hoop Guru says take the hornets team total under 50 1st half. The hornets will be lucky to score over 45 points in the first half. I would truly unload on this play. The hornets did score 55 points in the first half of a home game against the hawks on friday. THe hornets did have Raja bell in the that game and he had 17 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds in that game. Most Bell's points came in the first half. He got hurt late in the 3rd quarter and did not return. Bell will be out of tonite's game. The hornets just played last night at Miami and really struggled offensively. Without Raja bell, the hornets scored only 39 points in the first half. After that game in Miami Last night, the hornets are going to be fatigued and undermanned for tonite's game. THe clippers are finally healthy. Watch for the clippers to play defense tonite against an undermanned hornets team.
