    Thoughts on Brooklyn/ Miami?

    Think Lopez will be playing. I like the dynamic duo in Williams/ Humphries but dont know if they can stand up to Miami's big 3. Miami been playing kind of shotty lately but think they might show up here and without Lopez Im a little hesitant about Brooklyn. Still, 8 1/2 points is a lot to give up to them.

    I read that Lopez will miss at least 2 games, and he just sat out against Orlando.

    I would take the 8 1/2. Brooklyn has been playing well as of late. However if you're looking for a pretty solid bet, the over 194 on the memphis/san antonio game looks really solid IMO. But GL with the Net/Heat game, I do think Brooklyn doesn't lose by more than 5 in this game.

    Portland seems like the right play, Cavs have been declining, Except for today's game.

    I don't know, boys. Cavaliers seemed to find their groove, tonight. Their guard play was phenomenal. Varejao was also a beast. This Cavs squad may reel off a couple, they looked inspired.

    When do they get Irving back?

    Yeah Waiters is tough but the first game back home from the road is usually shotty and if Lilliard comes in hot, especially after his letdown game the other night, he could easily put Waiters and Co. to bed.

    Yes, Irving is out awhile, but his replacement has been stepping up.

    Good luck with your plays, gentlemen.

    Picking Blazers on road is always a crapshoot. They are terrible on the road.

    The Cavs got called out on TV the other day by their coach for not showing enough effort. I think that's what motivated the win against Atlanta. Watch out! They might still be motivated.

    Lopez won't play. the single advantage they had against the Heat is basically gone. Nets have already been beaten the crap out of them once. I see it happenin twice, easily. Easy shots for the heatles all game long and I wouldn't be surprised if they finally turn the D on again for this one.

    I like taking inflated lines on heavy favorites in certain spots. Tonight I am on the heat -8. I think they will look a little more motivated tonight. I also think the Nets will have a bit of a let down. They have been running hot as of late and they have to cool off sooner or later. BOL

    No Wallace last game.. He plays with a lot of energy and joe Johnson has been heating up lately.. Yes I'm a huge fan, not even saying they win... Just cover

    thanks nets for the tons of turnovers, none of the 3s, and bad freethrow shooting. absolutely awful second half
