here's what i'm playing:

ATL (+7) - all around matchups are near equal. like the ATL intangibles better. i'll take ATL in what i see is a game that should be at/around CHA -3.5/4. that is figured with the CHA home court advantage taken into consideration : )

LAL (u97) - why is this one going up? two great shot blockers playing/clogging the middle on both sides (not withstanding a starting LAL walker). i'll take my chances on lower % FG's from 15+ft out. IND has a lot of fouls to give to LAL shaq. i do not forsee much "up tempo" here. with shaq's toe hurting, LAL will slow the O set to run through him. LAL bryant will clamp D down on either IND miller or rose.

"lean"

CHI (+6-) - if CHI artest can slow down TOR carter at all... probably not but, i'm not excited at all about TOR O outside of carter. SEA did shoot lights out FG% last against CHI though. but, CHI will have miller at C starting tonight. CHI PG anthony with any minutes is a plus. also hoping for the offensive capabilities of CHI PF fizer to be in the starting lineup over oakley. do like either teams benchs. TOR coming off a loss to MEM??? 6- looks pretty good in what i believe will be a low scoring game.


i see a lot of SAN backing in here... any comments/opinions on this side outside of known stats? thanks.

god help that ATL+7 at halftime. what the hell is happening there? CHA shooting .641 while going 9 deep???

LAL (u) looks ok, but, it should look better with IND shooting .319 at the half. check out the attempts these teams are putting up...

well, ATL was a complete miss.

the LAL (u) write up was right on! FG% was low, shot blocks were there, but, my god look at the attempts! IND shoots crap from the field and both teams stunk it up on the line but, 182 attempts combined nipped me by 1 point at the end (my guy released 198). ah, so close...
