2 Teams 4 Points

Dallas -1.5
Bucks -2

2 of the top 5 teams in the N.B.A

Dallas has one of the most potent Offenses in the league against a philly team that would be lucky to score 90 points without Iverson and Mckie and Snow. If this game was in Dallas they would be favored by 9. By teasing them you made them virtually a lock with just having to win by a bucket...no bullshit back door cover for the sixers at the end

Same goes for the bucks who I think will give LA a run for there money in the N.b.a Championship....The bucks have the most potent offense in the N.B.A with anyone of 5 players that can dominate a game...Ray Allen is the best all around player in the league with Tim thomas soon to hold that title(within 3 years I think he could be the m.v.p of the league...And the best part about the bucks is that they are happy to have Mason. H e makes all the difference in the world for his toughness but one of the major things I noticed is the ability for him to make the rest if his guys wide open for shots. His screens completly wipe out the defender. Alllen, Cassel, and big dog just need to play pick and roll and they get a wide open look every time. And if the y**** up and both play the ball handler then Mason is wide open for an easy lay-up..I just was so impressed with the way they looked at Utha and SEE NO WAY THAT DENVER WINS. Bucks will rock them up but again BUcks just have to win buy a bucket for this tease to hit.

"Ray Allen is the best all around player in the league with Tim thomas soon to hold that title(within 3 years I think he could be the m.v.p of the league"

I like Milwaukee as a team, and love Ray Allen as a player, but he is not the best all-around player in the league. His defense is sorely lacking. Offensively, he is probably the best jump-shooter in the league, good passer, excellent offensive instincts as far as penetrating, spacing, the ability to get off his shot...but take into account all facets of his game, and he isn't better someone such as Kobe Bryant.

Thomas has tons of potential, and is still young, but MVP is not something I think you'll ever see associated with his name.

Good luck tonight.

Hoops, you beat me to the punch!!

Tim Thomas what has he ever done? Maybe if you said Rahim, I might have bought that.

Ray allen is a nice player but best player in the league is a stretch. I think Kobe, paul pierce(much better defender and can create off the dribble), iverson, Vince, McGrady.

Mistake love your passion for the Bucks!!!

I respect everyone's opinion here.

As far ar Ray Allen I shoud take back my statement about best all around player in the league because his D could be better.
But as far as offense goes he can do anything anyone can do as far as slashing and jumpping and dunking and as was stated has the best jump shot in the league. The difference between him and kobe is that allen can pull a jumper in anyone's face from anywhere anytime and make it 50% of the time. Kobe points are generated by slashing and double teams from shaq. I would take Ray over Kobe but that is just me.

Tim Thomas boy did he surprise me this summer and preseason. I watched every pregame this season and the 1st game and all of the summer league. He has gotten 100% better. we all know he was a freak to begin with a 6'10 and shooting three no problem. what his weakness was rebounding and ballhandling and his low post moves. I have seen him several times take the ball coast to coast this year off a rebound a.k.a dirk nowitski andand put it around his back with his left hand then back around with his right hand at critical times to avoid defenders and he did it with the ease of a point guard. My hoops buddies and I almost fell out of our seats watching him the last preseason ga,e vs the lakers. he is going to be incredible on d with those crazy long arms and unique athletic ability. his teammates know what he can do as I see all of the payers on the bucks talk about him. Ray allen and big dog just kind of laugh when they are asked about him. Dont expect him to take over just yet as George Karl will pace his young star. Tim Thomas will be incredible I can see it and yesI still think he can dominate...imagine when he develops his post game? There will be nothing that he cant do...and yeah by the way Defenses cant key on him becaus eof his 4 all star teamates..I think the bucks could win 67-71 games. good luck as always love everybodys comments

I dislike Kobe personally, mainly from the media hype shoving him down the publics face once Jordan left, but he is the best basketball player in the world. And only what, 23? I don't think there is much question about it. His offensive game has more variety than Allen's. He rarely scores off double-teams from Shaq. The players that benefit from Shaq are Fisher, Horry, Fox, etc, who spot-up for jumpers when the double comes. Kobe is a first-team all defensive player, far exceeding Allen in that department. Allen has the better, more consistent jumpshot, but rebounding, defense, ball-handling, all-around offensive game goes to Kobe.

Bucks winning 67-71 games? Come on. They might be the best team in the East, but winning that many games is an all-time great type of team mark..and the Bucks aren't one of those.
