    Charlotte Bobcats -1
    On Wednesday the Bobcats will square off against the Sixers on the road. The Bobcats have had an up and down season, but are winners of the 3 straight at home against the Lakers, Golden State, and Miami. The knock on the Bobcats are they are a very bad road team. This is an interesting matchup because the Sixers in all reality are a much worse home team than Bobcats are a road team. The Bobcats are actually a respectable 16-15 ATS this year on the road while the Sixers are a bank bursting 8-21 ATS at home. With all these known factors in mind I find it interesting that bookmakers have installed Charlotte the slight road chalk favorite. Charlotte has not been the favorite on the road in the past to Philly. I think we should take this as a clue and bet accordingly.


    The Sixers by all accounts have had a very dissapointing and miserable season. They were even desperate enough to try to steal Allen Iverson away from his drinking and gambling to dress out for some home games and sell some tickets. Well, AI proved he was no longer the answer and still wasn't interested in "practicing"... Practice... "we talking about practice".. "I'm supposed to be the franchise player and we talkin bout practice" Come on man.. "We talkin bout practice"

    The Sixers seem to have a new focus now. Tonites game with the Indiana Pacers was very telling as they had a real chance at winning that game. The Sixers were down by 2 at the half and played there starters only sparingly in the 3rdQ and at the begining of the 4thQ they sent one starter out on the floor down single digits..Some would say the coach was trying to rest his players, but it remained a single digit margin for much of the 4thQ and the Sixers never had more than 2 starters on the floor at any one time. The Sixers with a record of 23-40 have long mailed this season in and now are focused on there "lottery pick" slotting for next season. They will start the same players tommorow, but late in the game when it comes crunch time they will not be in the game in my opinion.

    The Charlotte Bobcats on the other hand seem interested in winning at the moment as they are in the playoff hunt at the moment. They are playing with some momentum and confidence. Tommorow, is the kind of game the Bobcats must win if they have any aspirations of being a playoff team at all.


    My Pick. Take the Bobcats-1



    as always.. "tail at your own risk"

        Don't know Kobe I haven't really focused on the card yet... Taking NJ was cute and it worked the other day, but keep in mind the Dallas Mavs are a different animal than the Memphis Grizzlies. If I had to call it right now, I would say take NJ because of the Mavs propensity of not covering spreads at home.

          yeah me too, but the nets are due to lose a big one one of these games due to the fact they have been covering the past few games

              Oh for sure. The difference in talent is huge between these two teams. The other nite contrary to popular opinion the talent difference was not huge between NJ and Grizz. The thing about Dallas is.. They tend to still not cover at home during this winning streak against teams they are better than.. Dallas has played there most impressive ball on the road lately.

                  The sixers are a terrible team, i'm from philly so I get to see them throughout the year. Everyone once and a while they will play really well though seemingly out of nowhere. I've pretty much decided to stay away from all their games though they are just so unpredictable (and that's coming from someone who knows them pretty well).

                    I agree totally. The Sixers from a pure talent perspective are better than the Bobcats.. That might be hard to explain based on the teams very different records, but that's the way I feel. On the other hand the Bobcats are actually a better "team" and they most certainly have a better "coach". I also expect the Bobcats to bring more intensity and purpose to this game as they are still fighting for a playoff birth while Philly is fighting for draft posistioning.

                      Agree 100%. This last stretch of the season is extremely important to the Bobcats and they should come out to play tomorrow.

                                quite possibly, but I'm just saying. I might bet it tomorrow as well so only time will tell.

                                                a trap or not I will play CHA because they are fighting for a playoff berth. If CHA get's the 8 spot and MIA doesn't qualify in the playoffs MIA will give a farewell party to Wade this offseason.

                                                  Cha good bet but mavs at home, never a good bet. They cant cover and the nets cant stop covering on the road. Gota take nets, great write up though

                                                    I think either way, 8th spot or not, Miami better order those party balloons and black forest cake. Dude is leaving.

                                                      Yeah, Bobcats for me too. They need some wins.

                                                            Like the Under 190.5 here Lyon. Droughts are common with these teams. Both on b2b also. Whatcya think? I think this game stays in the mid 80's

                                                              seems like a square play
