    saving energy means playing lite defense or lite offense??? Maybe if they don't try hard (on defense) that will translate into a score fest...idk....what u think about that?

    Keep in mind reg season does not start until next week. These two teams put up 234 points a couple days ago. I'd just take the blazers at 5.5+ (however I'd first find out if they plan on sitting anyone), if they are not, the blazers should cruise to a victory or win a close won.

    This is what I was thinking...IMO you exert more energy playing strong defense. I think more accurate reason for taking the under is that starters who get most minutes in regular season will see fewer minutes meaning less prolific scorers will be on the floor for more minutes. Still a crapshoot though...

    well said C-Jack.. (or written, rather) i am of course, pro write ups.. but my singular contention, is that once i begin to pen one, i invariably become attached to the composition. I want them to read well.. be grammatically correct, prioritized correctly (relevant stats etc..).

    In the end i feel that in doing so it takes away from the next game's capping time; and that myself and all are better served if a capper spends more time on the pick, rather than dressing it up. At least that is how i would feel with regard to another capper's body of work.*

    i would prefer an accurate restaurant review, or film recommendation "eat there" or "see this" ...rather than a well written essay about a mediocre meal or movie.*

    Cheers to you guys, and GL this eve.. ®

    I was gonna play the under too but this scared me away. I watched the interviews of the Jazz on nba.com and they said they wanted to "end preseason with a win" and "go out with a bang" because they lost previously to them. Not sure how much weight to put on those statements though.

    hmm.. almost Halftime... okay so far.

    of course i would prefer it if there were no scoring at all.. like 0-0 would be nice.

    but i guess this is not MLB

    i kinda figured that the coaches would not push fouling at the end..
    last pre-season game.. why risk any fluke injuries.. *?

    it was close but came in.. so all good

    no losses in the pre-season. hope i can keep that up.

    hope everybody made out on their picks. cheers
