View Full Version : NBA Early play 2/24

02-24-2005, 04:55 PM
1. Sixers + 3 1/2 @ Knicks

This spread has to be the result of the fact that the 76ers will be down 3 players tonight ... but (1) I don't think that really matters against this putrid Knicks team and (2) ESPN is reporting the Knicks have traded Nazzie Mohammed and 3 relatively insignificant players for Malik Rose and Maurice Taylor, so they also will have a thin bench tonight. I say get in at 3 1/2 before the spread moves back towards a pick.

YTD (posted) 67-51-2.

Adding SAC/DAL over 212 1/2

No confidence that either team can stop the other. And defense can't be improved by missing players.

One question for the group:

How is Minnesota laying points on the road? To anyone? Does Marko Jaric mean that much to the Clippers? They have lost 8 in a row, but that was a 9-game road trip they were on. I just wonder if I'm missing something here; it seems ridiculous to me.

That line looked curious to me as well.

Are they perceived as playing better under McHale?

I'm on Sixers +3. If my name was Nazi, I think I'd change it.

I'm on Philly +3 as well. Even without a couple players, they're still better than the Knicks.

(I jinxed the Nets last night, but I'm hoping I don't jinx Philly and get run out of here like andrewbross!)

Maybe. I looked at the Clippers without Jaric and admittedly their team seems weak, particularly the bench. But this still is pretty much the team that was .500 before going on a NINE GAME ROAD TRIP, so I think I am misreading this. The whole thing seems very strange to me and I think I may stay away and look for a 2nd half play.

With this luck, it's a wonder I'm only -1 unit on bets placed last night and the Philly game.
