However does seem like an odd line, Utah just won at Denver by 24 Saturday, now they are playing 2 days later in Utah....Wouldnt think anything different would happen.....
You're right bucsfan this line should be around 15. Utah blew out the Lakers at home. Blew out the Warroirs on the road, then in a back to back game the blew out Denver on the road. Utah is playing the best basketball in the league right now. This game should easily be 15 points. But it is not because of one of the biggest trends in the league. It's the revenge factor, if one team loses to the other team and then they play them again the very next game and they are the dogs bet the dog. The have historically one like 70% it used to be more but the bookies finally got wise. And then to add to that any team that plays their last game in Denver will supposedly play worst their very next game. So those 2 reasons have brought the points down. But I still believe Utah is for real and I can't take Denver. I will bet Utah but small. And I tell you what if Utah wins I will jump on the Utah wagon and bet them until they lose.
You know I think Kenyan Martin is the disease of this Denver team, and having him is a liability. Especially offensively. Jason Kidd made Martin, and I do not see his ability fitting in with this team
With thta being said, I SEE AN ALL OUT performance from Denver tonight, and actually like the DOG ML because they played so recently, and Utah home after a road trip if Iam not mistaken. But I do agree, there will be some value betting agiainst Denver this year. Camby and Martin.....not good attitude combo for this team

Are you kidding Martin is the best thing going for the Nugz right now. He almost single handedly beat Minny. And Camby has been playing fine. Their biggest problem is losing Voshon and Carmelo. Melo is playing bad right now. Carmelo was a no show the Minny game. Until Carmelo knocks down the outside shot, Defenses will just back up and dare him to come in the lane. But bigger than that is no one can score on that team. Voshon leonard was their only real outside threat, they needed help for him and now he is out and they are in real trouble. They will continue to struggle until they get a legitimate outside threat aka Sczerbiak. That is the perfect piece for them.

I got you Newport and I know Martin has some baggage. But in the 1 game I saw he was not only there best weapon both offensively and defensively. He was also there number one cheerleader and enforcer. Cassell gave Boykins a hard push and Martin quickly came to his Rescue and tossed Cassell 10 feet back. That single play IMHO gave the Nuggets the motivation to win the game against a better team. As for Carmelo I don't see it as a problem with KMart. I just think the league is fully aware of Carmelo this year and he gets a double team in the lane alot more now. It's easy to be a star when you get 1 on 1 coverage but when you are double and tripled teamed well that's a different ball game. If Carmelo can hit his outside shot that will help. But 30% from the field is not going to cut it.
You can count on it.Fishhead said:
Thanks guys, 6 seemed way out of whack with Utah at home. Like these guys said above all you need to do is pack it in and play zone against the Nuggets and dare them to beat you out there. Losing Leonard has really hurt this team....
