Pretty similar though I think San An will have a win and also Phili at home over the Jazz.

Milwaukee @ Cleveland
Utah @ Philadelphia
Denver @ Charlotte
Atlanta @ Chicago
LA Lakers @ Dallas
New York @ San Antonio
Detroit @ Sacramento
Minnesota @ Golden State

Yeah I agree, not too confident in Utah without Okur missing alongside Williams still.....
New York playing well and liked the odds at Facebook Sportsbets

 

[dont bowl there]

Big game for the Hawks today, if we lose then we will probably be 5-2 after playing the Celtics on Thursday which would put us back to the same level as teams like Orlando.

FWIW I predict a 98-86 win for the Hawks today, JJ with 28 and Horf with 14 boards.

Can anyone see Dallas coming out and beating the Lakers today? For some reason I have this feeling that they will cause an upset...Might get on the +5.5 Dallas line.

All Star Ballot revealed. 6 guys who didn't even play made the cut.

And Yi made it...bad news. Guaranteed like 1 billion votes for him

The Lakers have held the other team's best scorer to 12ppg on 22% shooting so far this year.

Dirk 30-pieced them on one leg last year, and has scored 30+ in 3/6 games this year so I can see him having a big one.

Problem is, Josh Howard's wrist is ****ed so will be ineffective even if he does play. We will rely on Gerald Green or wildly inconsistent Terry to be the 2nd scorer.

So, I cant see us getting the margin

It is probably my hate for the Lakers coming through that I think Dallas can win, ended up not going ahead with the bet.

so who are the 6 guys? i'm sure there are more than 6 who didnt make it.

as for Yi, well you know that it's a pure popularity contest.

I think you just saved youself some $$$

 

[Borgsta]

Yeah I know, strange they wouldn't go to him more as he was shooting good FT's as well.

Its just after every single Magic game someone quotes Howards numbers, I guess most of you guys play fantasy NBA so they mean more to you.

The Magic also win most games .

 

[PVF]

Abit disappointing not seeing Haslem on the ballot even though he probably wouldn't have got the selection. Marion, Beasley and Wade are on the ballot for the Heat.

 

[peternorth]

anthony carter outplaying billups at the half.

carter 8 pts (2 3's) 5 assists 1 reb 2 steals
billups 9 pts (1 3) 2 assists 1 reb 1 steal

should start carter at the 1 and billups at the 2. it is clear carter has elevated his play now that billups is there.

Lol KG and Calderon showdown.

LA/Mavs. A bit laggy, but thats probably my net

 

[peternorth]

lakers by 6 atm!

 

[dont bowl there]

Dallas by 7 atm!

 

[peternorth]

terrible blocking foul call on fisher.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Gerald Green is playing well, under control basketball. No stupid shit

except for the charge on fisher that the ref$ saw as a block.

anyway i did tip we'd lose this one.

LeBron reels off his 3rd 41 point game in 4 outings.

except for the charge on fisher that the ref$ saw as a block.

anyway i did tip we'd lose this one.

After I posted that he had 2 out of control drives that resulted in TOs.

Anyway we have sucked in the 4th Q so I doubt we can sustain this

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

When Jason Kidd looks for his shot, he is so much better.

Took 16 shots last game, went 22/10/9.

Has taken 8 shots so far, is at 11/7/8

Trip-le doub-le!

Philly self-destructs. Again.

Bron Bron with the 41 impressive as always but Double-double from Varejao from 22 minutes is a solid effort.

Spurs lineup is horrific. But still beating NYK.
