Also, I did the same thing with the lakers and now have them at -1.5

Miami are a 3 man team and they are currently not functioning correctly as a team. Wouldn't buy into that news of players crying because if it is true even more reason to worry if your Heat backer and 8.5 points against a team that plays almost identicle to the Bulls who just beat the Heat is too many points. Revenge game as well after Blazer lost in OT

Philadelphia 76ers +1.5 is really weird. Indiana isn't getting anything done after the break (3-4 SU/ATS) then again they were up against the better teams in the league. The 76ers is flying under the radar and has come from a sub .500 team to an above .500 team. They've won 8 of their last 10 and 15 of their last 20 games (13-7 ATS in that stretch from 01/22/11 to 03/06/11), The Pacers leads the season series 2-1 and is currently in 8th spot in the east (1.5 games above Charlotte) so if anything, it should be a motivation for them. ATS trends all points to the 76ers and they are pretty much the better team all around in every areas except for the Center position.

I don't know what's up in Cleveland nowadays but the only thing that should keep you from playing the Golden State Warriors -3.5 is that they are on the road (8-22) and is playing the 6th game of a 7 game road trip which is a brutal schedule for them almost gone for a week now from home. Then again, the Clippers were just as bad on the road but managed to slug it out against the Bobcats Monday night. Earlier this season, the Warriors played the Cavs and they went on to shoot 14/28 in 3pt en route to a comfortable win and cover. It should be same as that night except it should be a bit closer like the Knicks@Cavs game except the Warriors edge them in the latter quarter like they put a scare on Boston a few games ago.

I wouldn't want to be up against the Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) at the moment. That's because they are crazy good. The only thing that worries me in this spot is that they could all be looking ahead to a date with Miami two days later. They do not have anything to prove here as they've trashed the Hawks by 24 where they jumped on them from start to finish. The Hawks, if anything else, would have pay back in mind. Then again, they're playing bad and shooting blanks the last 10 games. Like in my last few writeups on an Atlanta game  -  Hawks Sucks!

I think this is pretty much a play of the year or something. I was hoping for another Miami drama where everyone's like need to come together and talk and shit. That 4 game losing streak against teams they could've won but was bested in the waning moments of the game should be haunting them and they pretty much ask themselves why do they let teams back in. So the play here is Miami Heat -8.5. This is a statement game for the Heatles and pretty much something like an initial fire before welcoming the Lakeshow Thursday night! Portland is playing 3 games in 4 nights and you could tell something's up with them if you watched that game against Orlando. Portland played them tough in the Rose Garden early in January and the Heat needed an OT for the win and cover. Wade and Lebron combined for 78 of the Heats' 107 points with Aldridge leading the Blazers with 31. Batum went for 22 which should happen again Tuesday night.

You gotta love the Houston Rockets (+5.0) catching the points at Phoenix. The suns played terrific basketball and is playing catchup in playoff positioning. Houston is just the same and a win here should be big just in case they go into a deadlock. Nash is playing hurt as usual but nothing's new since he's a warrior thing is that Frye is out and he's been a huge part of the Suns' outside offense and rebounding (Gortat has limited range but still really handy). This game should go down the wire with both teams grinding each other out. I'm initially playing the Suns thinking they'd be a low point dog but ended up getting 5 which should come a long way in close games both teams would normally play. I see the game ending with either a 3 point lead to an 8 points lead. Either way, catching 5 is better.


BOL.
