Nick, just saw I'm on here. I'm working out of town all week and have no signal at the jobsite. Plus it isn't fair to my Pacific brothers as I haven't really had a chance to research any of these teams. I'd you don't mind could you come back to me in a few Sims if it isn't any trouble. Preesh!
KINGS. I don't trust the Grizzlies on the road yet.
12/28 - Heat @ Hawks: Total 198 Over/Under/Push
OVER - While 198 is about the Heat's Points For plus Points Against, the Hawks' PF + PA is around 205. Land in the middle and you get higher than 198.
12/30 - Rockets (+17.5) @ Bucks
ROCKETS - Taking a chance that the Bucks will need a little time to get their offense adjusted after moving Gatling for Piatkowski.
12/31 - Bulls (+5.5) @ Hornets
BULLS - Teams have identical records and conventional wisdom says home court is worth +3 points. That's smaller than the spread. (Yes, I know, in FBB home court appears to be a 20 point swing).
1/2 - Timberwolves @ Knicks: Total 170 Over/Under/Push
OVER - The Gugs effect.
1/3 - Nets @ Spurs (-4.5)
SPURS - The just-traded-Gugs effect.
1/3 - Bulls @ Lakers: Total 47 Points combined for KG & Kobe Over/Under/Push
OVER - Both guys are capable of going off for 30 against their defenders.
1/6 - 76'ers @ Sonics: Pick Em!
76ERS - Sorry, Darth. The dream of a perfect season is alive in Seattle, don't ruin it!
Wig and Snug Life both had a strong week for their respective divisions going 6/8. Everything is getting closer and closer. Pacific went 5/8 and Midwest closed out the Sim pick em by going 4/8.
