Knicks will man handle Atlanta

1cheater · Jan 22, 2004

Love this spot, Knicks come in off a loss by 15 to Houston. Hawks home again after beating the Bulls by 10. Line is Knicks -2 2.5 I think they win by 10.

Hawks haven't won back to back games sence April.

In their last 5 games NY is averaging 98 ppg shooting 47% against the Hawks 86 ppg 44% shooting.

NY is 5-2 ATS in their last seven overall
NY is 12th in team defense avg. 93.1 points/gm

ATL is 26th in team offense avg. 88.2 points/gm

I realize that the Hawks are improving, but the Knicks are a much better team in my eyes.

I disagree with you. These new Knicks favored on the road??Talk about easy money. I'm pounding the Hawks with both hands. Get on the Hawks now. Hawks will be favored before the tip off.

GL with your play Falco.

hey cheater...i agree...after some games under the belt with the new team, NY is a great play as they will become a contender in the east...I think NY is still undervalued, especially after the shomp in houston...dunno if they when by double digits, but should cover comfortably.

This is the kind of game the bookies love.....nobody agrees, so the money goes on both sides.

Tater and I even disagree on the total on this one....he likes the over and I like the under.

If I *had* to play a side in this one I guess I would lean toward the Knicks.....but I do see that the Hawks have woken up a bit lately, so beating them at home won't be trivial.

This is why I don't play sides....a game like this can drive you mad !!

thank you for wishing me luck cheater, I needed it. I covered by a half. i hope you had -2. Everyone jumped on the knicks that usually spells trouble.

If you count a desperate 3 pointer by the Hawks, AFTER A 3 PT miss...with 1.0 second left....as "I knew it"....give me a break.

Make sure you goto the bathroom to change your underwear as I'm sure you sh1t with the Knicks up 5 with 9 seconds left.

Wizzah - Not for nothing but where did Falco ever say "I knew it" ? He did seem to imply he was lucky though.

1cheater · Jan 23, 2004

wasnt home to watch this one. thankfully i suppose. of course, wife bought the half and we pushed, better than dirty underwear

until the knicks can play as a team they will suck, they are very lucky there are playing powerless teams at the right time and will probably in 1st place by the end of the week, the nba is such a joke
