Spurs day on Friday

agreed. Historically the Spurs are deadly on Friday nights at home after rest.

Also, the Mavs are a streaky team in the W-L department. they Win 3 in row, then lose 3 in a row. win 2 in a row, then lose 2 in a row, etc . They won 4 in a row before loss to Lakers.

Moreover, this is a revenge game for the spurs after the mavs beat em last week in Dallas by 7

Nice. We agreed on 76ers 1st half -4 and Spurs now.

I like Spurs too.

Revenge game as well for the spurs.

already moved from -3.5 to -4.5 right after the opening

PR, will u still consider Spurs as a play if Parker is not playing?

Actually the Spurs lost the last 2 against Dallas. Last week in Dallas, and before that in Dallas as well (that was a 1 point game).

Right after the new year in early January the Spurs beat em at home by 22.

Tonight the Spurs look to even the series.

don't know yet. I'll see as the day goes. Right now I'm hearing locally from SA that Parker is "iffy" for tonight because it's a 1st game of a b2b2b . I dont like the sound of that as it may mean they're not taking the game as serious as I'd hoped. Popovich is known for pacing his team , even if they are playing a rival or a top team he's been known for that, and may opt for sure wins (in his mind) vs the Hornets and Sixers at home over the next 3 nights.

Shawn Marion will be back for the Mavs tonight i'm hearing. they're saying he's "expected" to be in.

Mavs don't have an easy schedule after this. They have HOU on a home-and-home set and those in-state games are never easy. And then they do a Florida b2b in Miami and Orlando

Tony Parker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Speedy88 · 03-23-12, 02:36 PM

Parker and Splitter are out and the line is still -4? Seem a little off to anyone else?

M.W. · 03-23-12, 04:32 PM

Marion will play tonight.

Anyone still find it a bit weird ^^^^^^

Rather than taking Spurs today, I think the better play may be HOU tomorrow against DAL on a b2b.
