My friend that is the worst thing to say if you are betting,the knicks can come back in the 2nd half.The problem in the 1st half has been that they have been missing open looks to the basket and the wizzies have taken advantage on the other end,also there have been very few free throws in the 1st half,expect a better second half and i quite like the tempo this game is being played at,even though there have been just 99 points in the 1st half,they are shooting the ball on will.lets hope for a good second half comeback for the knicks.Good luck

Over is Cooked now....Hoping for the knicks to win by 5 here.....!

[Laker_crazy]

This sucks in a way because the tempo was not all that bad but the scores by quarters suggest that both these teams were just taking bad shots too often...neway onto next!

[h3da]

Let's hope for OT?

[Laker_crazy]

Oh well that too gone now,what with that idiot fouling him with 1 second left.....NBA at times......Grrrrrr

lol tomorrow orlando looks good to me.. -5 at the line.. your thoughts?

lol tomorrow orlando looks good to me.. -5 at the line.. your thoughts?

despite it only being preseason its hard to look past what the magic did to the hawks in the playoffs last season

i cant see this being much different really, especially with the hawks battling with injuries

wow sbrodds shows The Greek has it at -2 right now

[hedgejob]

Why is Orlando only -5? Smells like a trap.

Do you know whose injured for hawks? I mean Orlando has no reason to rest their starters as they are heading towards the end of preseason and want to maintain their attitude.. I mean even the bench would probably blow the hawks out? Do you have any info if Orlando resting anyone etc?

not sure on who is injured for the hawks now, last time i checked their bench was pretty beat up but since then jamal crawford has returned but some others may still be out

i have heard nothing yet about who is playing for the magic, the only thing to remember is when van gundy apologised about not playing their starters it was a home game and so could of been more aimed at it not being fair for home fans. On the road he might care less about who plays

very nice info.. fark this ima pound the orlando.. some lines have already moved to -5.5 and some already 6..

[Laker_crazy]

The Pre season lines can be very misleading,i d say wait a while before you pull the trigger,anyway i am already sick of the pre season.....waiting for the real deal to start now.....Can't wait for my forte last season to return....Player performances and of course Game Totals

[Laker_crazy]

I have a request for any of you who think they can help.I want to keep track of each and every play i make,of course the plays will be posted in my new thread for the season alongside the units,but due to my work which i cannot ignore,there may be a few times where i can make a mistake in calculating or do not get time..

If any of you can keep track of my record,i will be more than grateful and of course i will be able to post more..Let me know fellas.....Good luck

looks as if both teams will be treating it pretty seriously, however the magic just cause the hawks real match up issues, and i dont think the hawks management have had enough time to shape their offence into something that will cause the magic problems

Orlando right now just looks unbeatable.. I'd rather put my money on Orlando on the line -10 than take the hawks even if it was +10 I would still be worried..

i agree 100% buddy, like one of those articles says the magic treat this like regular season to reduce the transition, they will play hard and i think they will target this game to make a statement to the hawks that they still own them

[h3da]

Line has increased to -7.. Lucky I took it at -5..

Line has increased to -7.. Lucky I took it at -5..

i expect it to move quite a bit, this will be a hugely popular public play, i think its the right play but who knows with pre season

[h3da]

like when orlando vs bulls.. if you think too much you are just going to confuse yourself more lol.. just go with the current situation.. remember last playoff when orlando smashed the hawks in one of the games and yet the next game's line seems to be so low? people still pounded the orlando and cashed in

[Laker_crazy]

Guys Lets go easy with the Pre season....Lol

[Laker_crazy]

Any plays today mate? I think it is easier to keep track of your records if you have a separate thread where no discussion is allowed and only for record keeping and keep this as a discussion thread..

Did not get time to play yesterday,may have a couple of plays today,getting done with my important work so that i can cap the nba season without any breaks,that is a good idea,i will make a separate thread for discussions and a separate one for plays,but i would still need someone to keep track,as i post totals,point spreads and player performances,and due to the time difference what with me being based in india,all the nba games start at 4.30 am onwards so you can well imagine how much time i would eventually get to sleep and do my other work too.....!!

[h3da]

I'll try help you out if I can.. As I'm working as well as uni but we'll see what happens.. Cashed in on orlando yesterday.. Loving them for preseason
