    NBA Thursday - 12/6

    YTD 24-18 +5.79

    Nets +3 (-104) Nets in a good spot at home. NJ's half court offense should be able to slow the pace of the game down and get Nash & Co. out of rythym.

    Detroit +7 (-102) Pistons off of 2 SU losses. I thought the line should be 4.5, 5 points. Pistons to grind it out to the final minute.

    Miami/Sacramento Over 195 (-101) Should be a competive game start to finish. Miami should be able to own the paint, push the pace which will force the Kings to play uptempo as well. Kings need a max effort after dropping their last 2 road games.

    BBD - I can definately see why anyone would be on the Mavs. Being from Dallas I hope they win and not cover
    With that said, I just think its a case of too many points. Detroit after 2 SU losses, one of them at home and now the start of a road trip. Dallas ran them out of the gym last year, but that was when Detroit was on the end of a road trip, now they start one. It will be interesting to see how the Mavs respond on their 1st game back.

    I can't dispute that the Pistons have played pretty well on the road this year. However, they haven't played that many games on the road this year just yet. Now with that being said, I just can't consider them "road warriors" while only sporting a 5-4 record on the highway. I personally feel this streatch on there schedule will be a lual.

    Well I am not betting on them to win, just to lose by 6 or less

    I don't consider themn road warriors, but the core of this team is still intact. Without BenWall, that just means Detroit will make more FT's.

    They might have the core of the team comming back this year Austin. What scares me is the fact that Flip Saunders has implamented a bit more of an up tempo type of offense. I feel that the Mavs could very well take full advantage of that fact and exploit it tonight.

    Yeah. Not a fan of Flip. Bit its just situational tonight. I thought the line should be 4.5, 5 points.

    Cause the way I see, if Dallas was in Detroit would Dallas be -3.5?

    I agree Austin that was a screw job indeed, but at least you cashed in on your Detroit play
