I really have trouble backing GS on the road. But to give them 6.5 points on the road.....I don't think I can pass that up. Nuggs were regressing hard, even before the injuries.

Agree here, little bit surprised the Warriors are getting 6.5 but might have to take it

hopefully they aren't deflated after that loss to the Thunder

Why does everyone think GSW is good? Their coach is an ex-PG who could not play a lick of defense, yet is apparently trying to install defensive philosophies, but have none of the pieces. Steph/Monta are arguably the 2nd and 3rd worse defensive guards in the league (after Jimmer), and they have no interior defense either. So now you get this team where at stretches they're slow and trying to clamp down on defense, but stunting their offense. Then when that fails, they go into lets run mode, but their defense becomes a sieve. It's pretty clear by now that Jackson has no clue.

GSW is 9-13 ats this year. Fading them has been very profitable this year.

My take is to not think about it too much. Denver doesn't have anyone who can REALLY score when it comes down to it. The game will pretty much be close. The thing that stands out most to me is the bench on denvers side. Denvers bench won't stretch the game out if denver does take a lead they are too focused on passing and spreading it out and not being selfish. With half the team being injured and coming back from an injury it'll be hard to keep up with GSW fast pace. I'm not saying GSW is a GREAT team but the line to me is a little high considering denvers line up tonight.

Agreed, had the lines be any lower for GSW I wouldn't touch it, I hate GSW. That said, their playing a banged up nuggets team coming from a b2b who is struggling after their hot start.

Yep.

The Nuggets are in free fall and are missing some starters. I still think they win by double digits.

Speedy88 · 02-09-12, 07:19 PM

yep looks like denver or a no play now.

Elevated · 02-09-12, 09:50 PM
