Early matinee game of choice for me goes off in NY with the T-wolves coming in for a visit.

Weak performance by the Knicks yesterday at Toronto.......why?

Because this team despite the recent win streak really stinks......and so does Marbury!

Don't see the T-wolves wanting an up and down "run and gun" kind of game......just methodically work the Ticket in for advantageous shots and allow Wally-World to get some open looks when the Knicks get picked and rolled.

Gotta take a shot with Min/NY under 192

Gl today folks.....ez

Ytd NBA 36-27

Some thoughts on the late one.

Some thoughts on the late one.

Hit the early play.....hope a few followed it?

If your playing the late one.....consider this.......

-on X-mas Day LAL/Mia played to a total of 189

-digging deeper into that game's numbers......I find it interesting the number of 3's attempted and missed

-LAL went a paltry 3 of 24 from behind the arc

-Mia did a tad better going 3 of 12

-Both teams combined for only 6 of 36 3's and the tilt still hits 189

-as you will recall that game started with a torrid pace and both teams wore themselves out in the 1st period......jump shooting legs went......and so did the scoring in the following 3 periods

I see the same kind of intensity at the start of this one tonight with Kobe and Shaq play their usual a game of one oneupmanship.

These two teams will try to run each other out of the gym again.

I will leave the rest of my post to your imagination.

1H sets up a good 2H play..........

1H sets up a good 2H play..........

Both teams paced themselves better than on Christmas Day.

Kobe even rode the pine for quite a while in the 2nd period.

Wade and Kobe yet to go off......

Mia only 38% 1H and LAL 48% 1H

O'Neal and Bynum added some bad blood intensity for 2H.

Loving the 2H over 101

This tilt is like a coiled spring......energy ready to be expended in 2H!

Only down side is a blow out......and scrubs??

Best half of D the LAL's have played this year.

Bynum......poked a "sleeping dog".....foolish move.

O'Neal isn't going to be showed up by his likes!

LAL's will have their hands full repeating that 1H defensive effort.

Just for the record.....played that over 101 2H

One final point........

One final point........

3 point shooting tonight......much better than what transpired on X-mas.

Mia.....3 of 8

LAL....4 of 8

Need Wade to pick it up and get the Heat back in it.

No doubt Kobe will show up 2H.
