Backing the Bobcats Tonight

[LBDT168]

DEFENSE:
Winning starts with playing strong and solid defense. The 76ers are a poor defensive team on the road and the Bobcats are quite the opposite at home. 76ers surrender 101.2 ppg on the road, when their opponents average only 98.2 ppg. Bobcats surrender only 94.7 ppg at home, while their opponents are averaging 99 ppg.

With regards to rebounding, Charlotte is ranked #2 overall in opponent's rebounding (allowing 49 rpg), while Philadelphia is ranked #19 overall (allowing 52 rpg). Charlotte is capable of grabbing 51.7 rpg and Philly 50.6 rpg.



OFFENSE:
Although neither of these teams are impressive on the offensive end (they are pretty even matched offensively, both teams scoring around 95 ppg when opponents are allowing 98-99 ppg), i will give the Bobcats the edge because of their momentum coming into tonight's game after grabbing the win in an upset in Chicago, whereas the 76ers should be slightly demoralized from yet another overtime defeat.

I'm on Bobcats as well. Nice write up with the pics. GL

[Bradyd]

I like it.

[ptall]

you make a good argument, i guess il put some money down

[Pauulzcappin]

I like the under.

[dskibin2]

I think Charlotte gets to triple digits and wins easily. GL

[LBDT168]

I like the under.

i like the under as well. i don't see the 76ers reaching 90 points, while the Bobcats will be in the mid 90's.

BTW, do you make anything of the movement from 187 to 188?

[Pauulzcappin]

Line movement wise, a 1 point move doesn't mean much. I feel more comfortable that the under was pounded early -- means some deep pockets hit it.

I'll wait a little bit before gametime, still looking at some stuff but I have this at 175. Can easily see a 90-85 game, especially since Wallace and Igoudala who are two of the best offensive weapons of the teams, matchup against each other and are both top-6 defensive SF.

sounds good. Good Luck on tonight's plays

[Thunderman]

I like those plays too. Philly has been an ATS goldmine this year for me but they are in a bad spot here coming off an OT loss.

[orangeheaven]

Bobcats looks like a good pick, but im gonna have to go with philly.

[hoya]

It's a quick revenge game for Charlotte after losing in OT to them a few days ago. Like the Cats ML.

[empty cookie jar]

them dang ole bobcats

[WillC]

really think this will go down to the last few minutes so I'd rather play the 1st half under. good luck

[Told You So!]

It's a revenge game as well and the under looks good! Go Charlotte
