Anyone playing the Florida St/NC State game? leaning towards FSU, just cant see NC state winning outrightComment -
Today the 76ers have a chance to get into 6th place in the east with a win. It would be the highest ranking for the sixers in a number of years(2009 6th seed in the playoffs). the Sixers start of 3-13 almost killed there season before it ever really started, but since December they have climbed there way out of the cellar of the east and have gone 11-4 since Jan.30! AI has stepped up for Philly over the last 6 games recording two triple-doubles (22pts,10rebs,13assists)."Every win from here on out is important for us," Andre Iguodala said after Friday's 111-100 victory over Minnesota.
Elton brand has a dislocated right pinky finger, but he still scored 21 pts Friday with a splint on his shooting hand. Brand has averaged 15 pts a team best and the Sixers win when Elton scores 15 pts or more.The Sixers have won 11 for the last 13 and on the season 22-13. Now when he doesn't score 15 they are 9-16.
The Sixers at home have won 19 of there last 25 last time they played Elton got 16pts and 16rebounds but they lost 110-95.that night in Dec. 27. the Sixers had no answer for the perimeter shooting of golden st! golden st went 15 of 23 from three point land with Monte Ellis had 22 and Dorell Wright went 5 for 7 from 3point land and had 28 on the night and lee chipped in with 22. Today the warriors come in losing three of four on the start of their 7 game road test. They did look good vs the Celtics or at least in the 2 half when the Celtics collapsed and Monte Ellis put up 28 of his 41 points for the game and the warriors fell 107-103 but made it close with their perimeter game!
Tonight they face a very different Philly team but they are favorites opening at -7 with 57% of thepublic money on them it went up to -7.5. Now the total has 86% of the publics money on the over at 207.5 and it went up to 208 all normal movemants for the displacement for the money but that could be a little high with Philly's defense at home being one of the best in the league! In 200+ o/u spreads both Philly 9-11 o/u and golden st 26-32 o/u have a under majority.
Phlly needs to tighten up their perimeter defense tonight to pull it out and I'm sure Doug Collins is all over that point and AI is playing he missed the last game with a ankle problem. The Sixers have won 19 of their last 25 home games, including an 8-3 mark against West opponents.
The points tonight are to many with the way golden st has been shooting and they proved they can do it vs Philly already once this year setting a season high of 17 made from 3 land. I would take the under 208 because of Phillies defense at home and the way they will be guarding the perimeter tonight and the points +7 or +8 would be my 2nd pick tonight.final pick and only play for me is the under 208 1x good luck.Comment -

Knicks vs Atlanta
The Knicks lost twice in a week to the Cavs the worst team in the NBA. Well Billups has been out for the knicks last two games but that is no excuse to blow a 12pt lead at home to Cleveland and then lose the game 119-115, and a week before that they lost at Clevland 115-109.New York is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, five games behind Atlanta.
Atlanta will have forward Josh Smith back in the lineup after he missed the previous two games with a knee injury. That is good news for Atlanta since he averages 16.7 points and 8.7 rebounds, both second-best for the Hawks. Coming into tonight Atlanta lost to Oklahoma City 111-104 on Friday. J. Johnson scored 24 points and Kirk Hinrich had 21 points in his best performance since joining the Hawks.Horford has been on fire over his last 3 games avg. 3 straight double double's (23pts and 14reb's)and that has resulted in the hawks scoring the 104 the second most out put since there last game vs the Knicks when they scored 111 points.
New York will be with out billups once again and toney douglus ahs filled in nicely avg. 17pts and 5 assists. the bigger lose tonight for the Knicks could be without post player Ronny Turiaf (knee), which could be a problem with Atlanta’s Horford playing so well.Stoudemire is averaging 31.7 points over the last three games and plays well at Atlanta. The Knicks have allowed 115 or more points in three of six games, New York is allowing 105.3 points since acquiring Anthony. Atlanta has scored fewer than 100 points in 11 of its last 12 games. That is why i'm taking the points the Hawks don't have enough firepower to make it to 115.Plus as 4pt dogs the knicks are 5-0 ats and the Hawks 1-2 as 4pt favs
The embarsing lose to cleveland twice in one week should be motivation enough for the defense to show up for the knicks plus they hate each other !take the knicks +4 4x good luckComment -
1half under 103.5 .5x knicks/hawks hate and rough play is the betComment -
+20 yesterday didnt like anything today how u doin bean?Comment -
u hartford +4 .5x at a nuetral site but it is in west hartford which is where the hawks campus is at i played soccer there when vin baler was on there hoops team. so this is a bias pick but the bigger money went that way with only 18% of the publics money on the hartford hawks it moved from -4 to -3.5 now back up to -4 with the 82% on Boston u. watch out bias pick hereComment -

hey guys there are some good games on tap tonight Iona had a interesting sub plot
bridGEPORT, Conn. — “Ditto from yesterday?” That was the question from first-year Iona coach Tim Cluess when he was asked to give an opening statement following his team’s 83-59 MAAC semifinal win over No. 3 Rider.
What else could Cluess say? His team had just beaten another opponent’s brains in. It’s been a ditto-minded run for the past nine games, as the No. 2 Gaels have won that many in a row and seem to be an overwhelming favorite against fourth-seeded St. Peter’s in Monday night’s title game. Only two of the nine wins have had a margin of less than 14 points by game’s end.
Iona kept Rider at arm’s length for the majority of Sunday night’s semis, then blew out the Broncs at the 10-minute mark, moving ever further from their inferior competition, proving they are the most lethal team in the conference, even if Fairfield won it.
The bittersweet tinge to this for the Gaels — Kyle Smyth injured his labrum in the first half against the Broncs. Cluess said he’d know more about the injury Monday morning, but the numbness had subsided. The injury wasn’t shocking; this is something Smyth has dealt with frequently in recent years.
Looking to Monday night’s MAAC championship game, there is some history to peek at. Iona and St. Peter’s (19-13) will meet for the fourth time in a MAAC title game. The Gaels have a 2-1 edge, having won the 1982 championship in overtime, 66-61, and the one five years ago, 80-61. The Peacocks defeated Iona in ’91, 64-58. Iona swept St. Peter's this season.
Iona (22-10) is definitely loose (more on that in a sec), and there a couple of themes and story lines with them heading into the title game. Chief among them: the culmination, the complete turnaround of a program that went 2-28 four years ago and was historically inept. That building process was led by Kevin Willard, who was hired by Seton Hall last spring. An NCAA bid within four years? That ship-steering isn’t easily done in mid-major basketball.
A second theme, if you will, is a familial one. St. Peter’s Wesley Jenkins and Iona’s Jermel Jenkins are brothers. They’ll battle each other and no doubt talk some trash in Bridgeport Monday night.
“It’s a family feud; it’s always a joy to go against each other,” Jermel Jenkins said. “I’m going to look at it as just another game, even though it’s not. It’ll be good to keep it (an NCAA tournament berth) in the family somehow.”
Jermel Jenkins also said this is the first time he and his brother have ever faced off on opposite teams in meaningful competition. Jermel lit up Rider for 20 off the bench Sunday night.
Iona and St. Peter’s couldn’t be much more different from each other, from styles to body language. The Gaels have the 11th-best effective field goal shooting percentage in the country. St. Peter’s pays its rent by making teams’ shoot terribly. In the postgame from their win of Fairfield, the Peacock players were direct and rigid. Happy, but definitely businesslike.
Iona was the opposite. Four players and Cluess packed on to the tiny platform in the media room at the Arena at Harbor Yard. Gaels senior Michael Glover brought his 2-year-old son up with him. The prescient moment of the press conference came when Jenkins was asked how he was able to score 20 off the bench.
“Luck of the draw when the shots went in,” Jenkins said with a smile and a chuckle.
Mike Glover Jr. let out a wistful youngster’s laugh, forcing the press corps to follow his lead.
The two teams are familiar with each other, and have been rooting for the other to make it to the MAAC finals. So it shall be.
“We’re friendly with a lot of them,” Iona’s Scott Machado said. “They’re on the same floor as us in the hotel. And when we came back from the win, they were all cheering for us.”
Machado thought he could get away with only that quote. Fortunately, his head coach interjected and offered up an incredible anecdote about the teams’ dynamic. You see, in the late hours at Bridgeport’s downtown Marriott, two ambitious teams had … a dance-off.
“Can I finish that story? Because Scott left a part out,” Cluess said. “Last night, at one end of the hall was St. Peter’s, and one end was us. They were having a dance-off in the hallway.”
Iona’s players swear it won the dance-off. Either way, what an image.
And it's one more victory to go, then the last one standing gets the biggest dance of all.Comment -

Will Kim Kardashian date another NFL player?
Kim Kardashian has dated Reggie Bush and Miles Austin, but will she dump current basketball boyfriend, Kris Humphries, and go back to the pigskin (between March 1 and December 31, 2011)? Yes is set at -150.
