20-10 in last 30
NBA record is 0-3 so need for a write-up because who would want to read it from a guy who is 0-3.
The pick:
Heat -5 over Suns
I expect the line to rise as well.
Basically it comes down to this:
1. Goran Dragic still hates the Suns after his trade last year and is still taking shots at them in the media. Expect him to play above, possibly well above, his admittedly mediocre averages this year.
You also have Gerald Green who is returning to PHX for the first time and also should be motivated to put up numbers above his averages.
2. The Suns are still a hot mess. They are 1-9 in their last 10 and they beat a Hornets team because it was missing arguably one of their best offensive player and best perimeter defender in Nicolas Batum. Starting in his place? Jeremy Lin. Before that. I know full well what happened before that. They went down 40-16 to the LAKERS. As I type the Lakers are trailing the Kings 23-4 and are 9 pt underdogs in that game. 9 pt dogs...to the Kings and you went down 40-16...Yeah, I'll lay 5 to that team even on the road.
3. You get an angry Heat team that just came off a loss to the hated rival Knicks who torched them shooting 56% from the floor.
Time to take it out on the lowly Suns.
The line was supposed to be 4 but I guess it is already rising. If I get backdoored, so be it.
