straight from the dojo...
NJN (+: anybody concerned about NJN's ability to score? anybody think NJN kidd and kittles won't fare better than last night? i do not believe the scoring will be like NJN last out. meaning, a lower scoring game with a NJN team that can score with anybody = gimme the points. NJN has the bench to afford the SAN duncan fouls. also, i believe if NJN kidd, and the rest, decide to, they can run and beat SAN duncan and robinson down the court. NJN will turn the ball over, that is a given but, they will have the O attempts to make up for it. strong play taking these points. good chance for a outright win. i will be playing NJN on the ML as well.
POR (u00-): this one is going up from 98-??? in this matchup, 7 of last 10 meetings have played under. also, 7 of the last 8. including he last four in a row. gotta respect the POR D FG% last 5 out (41%). also, a great POR D showing the past 10. SAC sure as hell can score. the points per game is there. the frequent "overs" the past 10 is evident too. but, they are arguably facing the toughest defense in the recent past. POR will be stingy on D and slow on O. lets add that this game is in POR. POR has played totals to a push at home but, I believe the home court "backing" will enhance a slowed down game here. POR cannot afford to run with SAC.
