Minnesota -1? ATL +8.5?

**1teamparlay** · 12-04-10, 01:13 PM

For the Hawks there are 4 factors where I really like picking against them. When a team has a quick PG the Hawks have no answer. When the other team has a big shotblocking presence inside the hawks get content to take long jumpers and it just kills them. When the other team has a stretch PF that can drag Josh Smith to the perimiter it kills the Hawks defense. And when a team is strong on the offensive glass the Hawks can give up a ton of second chance points as they are not a strong defensive rebounding team. The Heat have none of those 4 things.

Miami is overrated. Tell me who they've covered a spread against in the last 15 games? They beat the Cavs and Detroit, all of a sudden they are favorites for the title again?

Exactly johon, let's not forget the Heat are only 1-6 against teams with .500+ records, and the Hawks are a class act. I know my moneys going on the Hawks hands down...

I like the heat here a lot. They are starting to play a little bit better together, plus atlanta is without Joe Johnson. Who is going to make up his average 17 points a game?

Jamal Crawford + Role players like Pachulia, Powell, Evans, Teague

Horford........Smith............Crawford

Horford and Smith will give Miami all they can handle inside.

anyone think orlando will win outright

**Baller85** · 12-04-10, 04:48 PM

Orlando ML or +3.5 is the only one I'd feel very confident about.

Minnesota -1
Cavaliers have no heart we saw that in the pathetic performance against a team they should have tried harder against (Miami), easy win for Minnesota.

Other leans:
Kings +8
-have been fading them all season, but Dallas will play lazy and win by a couple points at best.
Orlando +3.5
-They love being the underdogs, GL Bucks.
Houston +7
-Bulls don't deserve to be favorites by this much after their crappy run.

im taking none of these
