you know my favorite bets are the unders and even if i like this one there is something fishy here ..books know something we dont who will expect knicks to pass 105 on the road i dont ..so im thinking a 113-105 at max in this but again philly has a good defense not like miami, a good team like toronto scored only 95 why would a team like knicks pass that number its hard to believe....
It would seem the under is a good play to me. The Knicks offense definitely is way more up-tempo this year and the system had them getting a lot of better looks last night than in years past. Problem is they had J-Craw shooting the lights out and Z-Bo knocking down contested 20-footers just like old times, so it remains to be seen...I don't think they're as good of a shooting team as they showed. On top of that - and as a Knicks fan I hope the system deserves most of the credit - the Heat team defense was sloppier than the last pick-up game I played in. So we will see how this Knicks team looks against what I anticipate to be a more refined defense tonight.
For sure. I'd like to see Randolph hit jumper after jumper on Brand tonight....not likely. Philly will put better pressure on the ball than Miami did, and we all know with Brand in the mix the Sixers will look to execute more of a half-court offence when possible instead of going off to the races.
Philly has great inside defense. The thing that killed them the most against Toronto was the 3ball. I'm pretty sure Cheeks will get after them about it and it's not going to happen so easy this time around. Philly has to know that if they get in that uptempo and run and gun style that they cannot win. They didn't use Brand effectively enough if you ask me. Dalenbert was playing good, but that clumsy bastard needs to convert when he's right under the basket. I can't see how this game goes over 217.5
I like a final score around 108-94 type game.
