Interesting night Wednesday. Every game except one (MIL-WAS) has the road team in a BxB against a rested home team -- in some cases with as much as 4 days' rest.

(yeah!! maybe I won't be told to play the MFNYK!!)
Steam is driving that Knicks line into should-play territory.
I know it's just me, but there's something about having a decent night ruined by east coast teams sh*tting themselves in those late games.
More discouraging than it should be.
Really makes you appreciate the powerful psychology behind the very normal urge to bet favorites and the "better" team, no matter the price. That's the psychology that builds casinos.
So yeah, the Knicks are a play. Right now I have a lot of Portland -4.5 and -5, having guessed right on the line move. I'm supposed to come back over the top with the Knicks, eventually. It won't be easy, but it's what I'm supposed to do. Ick.
Though I must say, Brandon Roy has not been as effective as I thought he'd be back from the injury. Yet anyway.
That Knicks team is brutal to watch in 2nd halves of there games. Bad passes, turnovers, bad shots, ect, ect. That team would get blown out every night it seems like If it wasn't for David Lee.
