Suns are on a B2B road game, and playing 5th game in 6 days. (11/9)

Hotsauce_wally · 11-09-09, 04:18 AM

ya, I like this pick. Suns will have a letdown game.

Brakon00 · 11-09-09, 04:34 AM

??????????????????????????? books r conusing public....they win their 5th straight road game vs low level 76'ers offense and poor bench

CashIn · 11-09-09, 07:21 AM

celtics could barely beat minny and the nets, the worst team in the league that didnt have SEVEN of its players in a same situation like this. 76ers pk

Regul8er · 11-09-09, 10:03 AM

Correction sir; 4th game in 5 days. Regardless, I'll take the 76ers in this spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nash/Hill only play around 30-32 minutes tonight. If Alvin Gentry has any sense, he'll understand it's a LONG season, and he will need a healthy Nash, Hill, Stoudamire down the stretch to compete with the big boys in the West.

Sure, the 76ers played yesterday afternoon as well, so both teams had to travel last night to Philly. Philly is a little more youthful, so give me the young legs at home. 76ers PICK.

wait a minute.. isn't Alvin Gentry the head coach of this current phoenix suns???

Regul8er · 11-09-09, 10:18 AM

mundane · 11-09-09, 10:20 AM

You Sir are.... Correct. Its the 5th in 7 days, and 4th in 5 days. All of that equates to a team being tired, and disinterested.

While I am totally in line with the whole rest thing about playin 4 games in 5 days, for me, disinterest only equates with lack of success during the road trip. The Suns, outside of the Orlando game, where they basically got jobbed out of the building, have looked very good on this road trip and for that matter the whole season thus far. If anything, I see them coming out and being extremely motivated to go home with a 4-1 trip record. Philly has shown nothing. The sixers also get nothing from their bench. Im havin a hard time betting against a red hot suns team showing great form lately and to me getting a point is tremendous value in this spot.

BrownTown · 11-09-09, 11:07 AM

Philly allows the most 3pt'er per game and Suns are 1st in made 3's. Not a huge stat to consider whn looking at this game ... but something to consider. Philly played last night, too so how much negative effect will this road trip have for Suns, compared to Philly?

I like Suns tonight ... 10pt W

lakerboy · 11-09-09, 11:39 AM

Public all over suns and line moved 3 points in favor of suns. The setup has begun get the coffins ready

KiDBaZkiT · 11-09-09, 11:45 AM

Betting against the suns this year is so aggravating, Ive chalked 4 L's goin against them, just when you think your team is gonna get close WAM! Nash comes of a screen to hit a 3 or Nash drives the lane and kicks to Richardsoin, Frye, Dudley, for 3 then when they miss Lou Amundson comes flyin in for a rebound and put back, its ridiculous I hate the ****ing Suns, watch the game, win or lose watch how many over the back fouls Phoenix gets away with on offensove rebounds. Stayin away from this shit game.

crokkettt · 11-09-09, 12:03 PM

..so you should take philadelphia.

d'accord! I was leaning Sixers but will stay away, lean back and relax...

The only thing good about this game is the line..... TAKE THE UNDER 214!

Regul8er · 11-09-09, 01:44 PM

Just took 76ers Moneyline at +113. Phoenix seems like the sexy pick almost everytime they play, but 4 games in 5 nights is a lot for any team, especially an aging one like the Suns.

B1GER1C828 · 11-09-09, 01:48 PM

Philly's got that high speed offense against old suns on 4 games in 5 nights? Philly is the pick here.

LOL, they scored in a whopping 78 points last night!!!!
High speed offense? Alrighty then ...

Regul8er · 11-09-09, 02:38 PM

I am on Philly, but certainly not under the premise of a high speed offense. Actually, the 76ers are about the complete opposite as they like to slow down the pace, and will halfcourt set you to death.

Yea once they let go of Miller(PG), and Elton Brand is now healthy they are a half court team. Which is some of the biggest piece of shit decision making I've ever seen. Why F that up? Your young, fast, and have scorers who can excel in the open court. Being an NBA GM is easier than we all think it is. That is why Bill Simmons wanted a job. Not that hard with all the horrible ones out there.

jgray · 11-09-09, 09:05 PM

The under is dead. Both of these team are shooting lights out. Both over 50% from the field and 3P. It's quite impressive for the Suns given that they are on the end of a long road trip.

HoulihansTX · 11-09-09, 09:20 PM

76ers have shit the lead away in the second half. out scored by 17+ points in the 2nd Half. They had a commanding lead in the 1st Half.

wow just not my season so far. 76ers will never get my money again. add Knicks, warriors, hornets.

mundane · 11-09-09, 09:24 PM

double trap was set! suns are red-hot! this nash guy just never gives up! what a douche!

jgray · 11-09-09, 09:25 PM

Disappointing for 76ers backers. You also have to wonder about the decision try play up tempo in this 2nd half. Might have been better to slow it down and frustrate the Suns as they were trying to get back in this game. Seemed to me that they were too willing to push the ball.
