05/06 NBA Record: 30-16 +28.35 Units
06/07 NBA Record: 82-62 +26.16 Units
Wow the NBA is actually back again, kind of snuck up on us. Well let's get started.
Not going to do anything different this season, going to be very selective again and as you can see I only had 146 plays last NBA season. There will be days I just don't have a play.
A lot of what goes into my NBA capping is motivation of course there are many factors but I believe motivation is key here. I've witnessed as I'm sure many of you have NBA players not giving 100%, I witness this more in this sport than any of the other major sports.
Getting a good feel for teams, effectiveness on the road, EAST vs WEST and defense are major factors as well.
Most of my wagers will be of the 1 to 2 unit variety.
1* Utah Jazz +3.5
Jazz went 51-31 last season and I look for them to do great things this season as well. The Warriors are going to be without the services of two key players Stephen Jackson who is serving a suspension and Jason Richardson who they let go. That means Baron Davis will need to have a BIG game for the Warriors to be able win this IMO.
Utah beat the Warriors in five games last season because they adjusted to Nelson's fast break offense quickly. Much of that credit should be given to Jerry Sloan who is a great coach. I know a lot of you Warrior lovers don't want to hear it but the Warriors barely finished over .500 last season. I still believe that is worth mentioning.
I'm taking the Jazz in this one guys. GL
