may add to this obviously..
Clippers -3
-----
So the spurs are on one hell of a run. that ends today. When breaking down this game an epiphany came to my brain which made me think... hey asshole....wake the fuck UP!!
The clippers have covered a lot, well so have the spurs, and today the spurs are going to play right into the hands of the clippers. The spurs and Clippers are a hell of a match up, but with this fast paced game and the addition of Kenyon Martin to the Clippers front court, how in the hell do you expect Bonner and Duncan and Blair (who can barely dunk the basketball at 6'11) to be able to defend the continual fast breaks and lob passes? the answer is simple... they won't.
the spurs are going to pick up the pace of this game, and I think younger fresher legs will prevail. I know the spurs have had a rest but a trip from toronto to LA and a day of practice I wouldn't call that rest so much seeing how long they have been on the road. Also we just can't forget that CHRIS PAUL is facing TONY PARKER... offense offense offense!
Memphis -5.5
-----
GS has no answer for Marc Gasol and I feel that Memphis is really showing their depth this year by hanging in without their top scorer. Rudy gay is going to have a good match up with Wright, but I feel that with Memphis's ability to rotate players to different positions such as Tony Allen who can play 1 2 or 3 against the Warriors tonight, they will be too much to handle for GS.
NETS +12
------
Nets look like shit as of late but I think their front court is a good match for the bulls without rose, plus the bulls lately have not been so impressive throughout the entirety of games and I think the view is skewed because of their latest cover V BOSTON.
UNDER 183 PORTLAND V ATLANTA
------
Both teams tired. Portland coming off a back to back to back with 1 day rest and their best player still questionable. They are much bigger physically than atlanta and they should pound the ball a bit to keep the pace down. Conversely although ATL was in a 199 point game last game I think we have to recognize that they are going to have at least 2 quarters of 20 points or less.
