NBA Overall 2010-2011 7-6-0 -0.10 units (53.84%)

Golden St -2 (-120) to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Both teams are horrible on defense, but Golden St is at least trying to work on it. They are decent at home, so far 5-3. The Suns don't really have much of a rebounder, at least Golden St has Beidrins. I could see Ellis just going off too, after just putting up 12 points against the Spurs. The Suns just seem to be on the downward spiral to me.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 7-7-0 -1.20 units (50.00%)

Raptors +7 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I wanted to go with Miami, think they start opening it up a bit now but decided against it. Raptors have been playing, great and there offense has been clicking on all cylinders the last 2 games. This is more a play against the Pacers. There coming off a west coast 4 game stretch. The last 2 games they got killed. I think there gonna be a little bit tired, and Raptors keep this one close.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 7-8-0 -2.30 units (46.46%)

Miami Heat -1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Biting on this like a square. Jazz beat Miami in Miami. The Bigs and guards all had huge games. I think the Heat have been clearly playing much better of late. I think there is a revenge factor here. I also think that when the Heat were playing well in the 1H of the first game against the Jazz they were winning by 20 or so. Heat win this game, and I think they win it big.

Lakers -2 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I think this team is back. The Bulls playing better with Boozer now but the Lakers match up pretty well against these bigs and who is going to stop Kobe.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 8W-9L-0P -2.50 units (47.05%)

Blazers +3.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Not exactly a great start to the season. Lets hope it turns around here. Blazers are on a long road trip where they have been on and off. This is the 2nd leg of a back to back road game. In this matchup, in the last 6 games the road team has won. You might as well say the Blazers took the night off against the Spurs. Blazers just won a game @ Memphis a few weeks back, and Roy wasn't even playing. I say this is a bounce back game for the Blazers with the Grizzlies just coming home from a 4 game road tirp.

Celtics -3.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Cant win an NBA game. Blazers scored 9 points in the 4th quarter. They were leading going into the 4th too. FML. Celtics should roll here. They have the defense that can contain Amare and I don't see Felton going off or anything here. While the Knicks don't have any defense to stop Rondo and crew...

good luck to you

NBA Overall 2010-2011 8W-11L-0P -3.60 units (42.10%)

Jazz -1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I suck right now. Jazz a solid road team. Hornets only won the last 4 of 13 games. Hornets too inconsistent as well.
