Thought I would share this with you guys. It's been a while since I've been so confident in a bet.
Orlando Magic (-2) @ Washington Wizards
Not that I think Washington is totally lost without Arenas, but take away one of the best players in the league from one of the worst teams in the league, and you have a recipe for disaster. They had an early meltdown last game and couldn't come back. Expect the same thing to happen here. I think the Wizards will need some time to mesh without Arenas. It's too early to start expecting the wizards to come away with a win, especially against a team of Orlando's caliber.
New Jersey Nets @ New Orleans Hornets (-4)
Statement game for the Hornets. Why? Because if they lose to the Nets at home tonight, their reputation and morale will be destroyed. After a great season last year, New Orleans is now struggling to stay above .500. I can't see them taking this game lightly, as they'll need to take advantage of every matchup they have against losing teams to make it to the playoffs. The Hornets are 13-3 at home.
Looks like a winner to me man.. Only weakness is Orlando sometimes has shitty nights.. as long as they do what they're supposed to do.. You should get that.. Good Luck...
Thanks for the input guys! Nothing worse than making what you think is a good bet and seeing people shut it down. Hoping someone tails so I can share what will "hopefully" be a win.
Man... I've never been so frustrated watching a game. Van Gundy has absolutely no control over these guys. Two technicals in the fourth, Rashard Lewis fouling out, and pull up jumpers in transition. Carter got injured in the 2nd, just to make life harder for me.
This will be the first 4 game losing streak for Orlando since 2007, and OF COURSE it HAD to be on the day I bet on them. Gotta stay away from Orlando from now on.
