Quick vent if ya don't mind, been called sensitive cause I lash out at haters...you all may be right, I do admit it. But true say, some idiots on covers are the reason this forum has lost countless good cappers. I have watched em go all season due to the constant hate that is spit out on these forums. Just don't expect me to ignore all the hate, if I don't like what you say, weather I am on a 3-16 run or a 16-3 run I don't give a shit, when I have the time, you will hear it from me. I implore others to either ignore the hate or hit the haters back with something, whatever makes you feel better, and for your boy Mak, it makes me feel better to hit you back with a lil something.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS MONEYLINE - - - The Hawks are just no match for the Lakers roster. Sometimes teams are built to beat a specific roster with ease. The Hawks just do not have the depth or size to stand a chance against the Lakers. The only game these two teams faced was a one sided affair for Los Angeles in LA. The Lakers outrebounded the Atlanta Hawks 67-39........67-39!!!!!!!! That is ridiculous. Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol are really not good matchups for Josh Smith and Al Horford. Lakers are an excellent gang-rebound team as well with some atletic and longer forwards. The Lakers are 11 deep while Atlanta really only has 2 legitimate bench players left after Marvin's injury. The Lakers have been on the road for a while but unlike other teams they seem to strive in the long road trips, they have for years. Maybe Phil's zen techniques or team bonding is more evident on the road. Whatever the case the Lakers have already swept a 6 game road trip in early Feb covering all 6 games. They are set to do that once again as they look to take yet another game on the road. Mr.Selfish Kove Bryant (the best player in the league) wants that MVP and beleives having the best record in the NBA will get him that back to back title. Look for Kobe and company to take this game.

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS - 6.5 (B/2) - - - I see a lot of value in this line and I'll tell ya why. Prior to their last cover at home vs Minny. The Cavs had failed to cover their previous 5 home games. Those lines were really inflated and against some underestimated teams. Today they will face a Mavs team who in my opinion does not deserve to be in the West playoffs. Their inconsistent play, lack of excecution and constant injuries put them in a spot where they don't stand a chance against LA in a 7 game series so I would rather see PHX in there. Dallas may be without Kidd and will be without Howard. Dallas is a horrible defensive rebounding team and they face a wide array of bigs for Cleveland. Today I see all those bigs getting action. Z, Anderson, Smith, Jackson, Hickson will have an impact. If Mo Williams does not play don't worry, LBJ will have the ball in his hands more and attract more defense creating open shots. Either way I do not see this Dallas team staying with Cleveland this afternoon.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS - 1 - - - Yes I do agree with a majority of you when you say Hornets are a tad bit over-rated. But when you say CP3 is over-rated you guys are way off. CP3 is by far one of the best PG's in the league and has potential to be one of the best playmakers this league has ever seen. Despite that without a full, healthy, and confident roster, Hornets can't do shit. Today I do see Peja playing for the suspended James Posey, despite that the shooter will be rusty. No Tyson again displays a hige weakness in the front-court and that is where Tim, Kurt, Drew, Fabricio and Drew do their work down low. Tony Parker always plays CP3 well, usually has a chip on his shoulder when playing Paul. Manu the key to the success of this team is officially back, had 14 and 7 assists against LAC on 5-7 shooting. He is back baby and so are the deseptively dangerous San Antonio Spurs.

SACRAMENTO KINGS + 5.5 - - - The Sun officially sets on what could be a S.U win for the Kings tonight. No I am not crazy it could happen. Phoenix in a horrible situational spot here. If the Kings were not so fuckin bad this would be my situational game of the year. The Suns find themselves in a 4 games in 5 nights situation. Not only that but they have played 6 games in 8 nights and this will be their 2nd back to back game in 5 nights!! Unbeleivable right there. Not enough? Well add a trip from Salt Lake City all the way to Cali and oh yeah...it was an OT game, a heartbreaking loss and yet another setback is their desperate attempt to stay in the playoff race. Too much pressure, too much fatigue. The Sun sets early.
