NBA for 04-04-04

BigGamesOnly · Apr 4, 2004

Going with 2 teams in the playoff race that are playing teams that have given up. These 2 teams are getting good spread because they are on the road. Even home cooking won't help the 2 teams that have given up.

Bos -3.5 over Was

Uta -4.5 over LAC

Thanks SC. Not many points to win by against this LAC club.

I agree; Utah should cover this one. The line is now Utah -4 @ VIP. The home team in this series has dominated going 3-0 this year straight up and against the spread so I'm not surprised by that move, but the bottom line is the Clippers have mailed it in! In addition Quentin Richardson (their 3rd leading scorer) is out, and Bobby Simmons & Chris Wilcox are questionable. The Clippers just want this season to end so they can TEE IT UP. I see this as a playoff game for the JAZZ and if they want the playoffs it's a must win. Good luck!

Well Utah made it interesting at the end in garbage time when Andrei Kirilenko fouled one of the Clippers while shooting when the Jazz were up by 8. The guy makes the free-throw to make the Jazz up by 5. It turned out ok I guess.
