2 UNIT PLAYS: 9-7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-0 last night with the Knicks covering against the Bulls.
That took a back seat to the bigger story of the night, the Rajon Rondo trade. As a huge Celtics fan for life, this one hit hard. I loved Rondo. I loved the passion he plays with and the way he makes everyone else on the court instantly better. Yes, he can't shoot very well and is terrible on the free throw line. He can be moody and isn't a "rah-rah" type of guy. But when it's all said and done he can put up 15 assists in any game he wants, and is far and away the best rebounding point guard in the league.
The Mavericks got a steal in this one...their draft picks aren't going to be much and with Chandler in there Brandon Wright wasn't as effective as he could have been. Nelson is past his prime and couldn't stay on the court. Crowder is a filler piece that can give you decent minutes off the bench and not much else. They can roll out Rondo, Ellis, Parsons, Dirk, Chandler. Are you freakin kidding me? That's far and away the best starting lineup in the NBA right now, and they have one of the best coaches in the league. They have the best offense in the league and got someone who can get them even more open shots and offensive rebounds?

First home win tonight. They are well rested and they can beat the Hornets. Not a fun travel spot for the Hornets either as they have alternated home and road games for the past week and a half.
Prediction: Sixers 101 Hornets 98

Philadelphia 76ers +5 ($110 to win $100)

Minnesota vs Boston UNDER 211.5 ($220 to win $200)
There is no way in hell that this one gets up that high with the players that will be on the court tonight. I would have also been on the Wolves to cover tonight as well as I feel as though the Celtics will free fall in the next week or two. Rondo orchestrated this offense and with his rebounding skills they were able to get out and run. They don't have that person anymore, and their offense is not close to as good now.
Prediction: Wolves 98 Celtics 96

Spurs aren't great ATS at home, they will be without Parker and Leonard once again tonight. Blazers have been playing well as of late which I like. Spurs are 0-4 ATS as favorites of less than 5 points. Prediction: Spurs 104 Blazers 102
0
Portland Blazers +4.5 ($110 to win $100)

Was with you on the Knicks ln brotha. I like the under play as well as the 76ers play. I also wanted to share my thoughts on the UTAH/ORL game. The Magic were able to defeat the Jazz in Utah last week without Vucevic while the Jazz had Favors at full strength. Now Favors is nursing an ankle injury while they face Orlando at home due for a win. The Jazz have had some great performances but I think they come in cocky and tired from a long road trip. I wish I caught the line at -3 since its up to -4.5 but I think the Magic win by 7. Any input would be much appreciated. Also, darn yeah watch out for the Mavs. Finally a trade in the NBA where I go "Wow, thats exactly who that team needed!" Rondo is brilliant and to be in charge of that offense is SCARY! Don't forget the drastic improvement he is on the defensive end compared to Nelson. Ill take that over a 3 point shooter any day especially when the rest of your roster besides Chandler are snipers from the arc. Anyway, I always appreciate your picks and write-ups so thank you and keep it up! BOL!
