Spreadbeater's NBA Wednesday....

[spreadbeater]

YTD 13-13, -1.4 Units

Coming of of an 0fer last night. Two plays so far for tonight, although I may add one or two more later.

Portland Trailblazers +1.5 2 Units
Portland Trailblazers +1.05 1 Unit

Although the Heat are playing great, they are playing way over their heads in my opinion. They have a very weak bench and have absolutely no inside presence on either end of the court. The Blazers, on the other hand, are a team that I am very high on for this season. They have been playing very well lately, winning 3 straight games. That includes winning at Orlando a few nights ago. The Magic are a far better team than Miami. Plus, that game was played without Oden. Tonight Oden makes his return. I would expect Portland to win the battle of the boards tonight, as Oden, Pryzbilla, and Aldridge are all bigger than anyone Miami wil throw out there. Portland also has the better depth, as well as the better 3 PT and FT shooting team. The bottom line is I feel Portland is the far superior team here. And I don't think it is even close. Wrong team favored.

Be back later....

like the pick ... what's the status of Brandon Roy?

From what I have read and heard, he says he is "90-95%". He should play.

 

[Uno]

i have heard roy is playing and i like it as well...

i think the most telling thing about the heat is how the only teams they have beaten are garbage while portland has won against some good teams in some tough spots.

good luck.

Understand the first play Portland +1.5, but what is the second play of Portland +1.05? Sorry, I know I'm missing something.

Adding....

Adding the following:

Philadelphia 76ers +5.5 1 Unit

Teams are never as bad, or as good, as they looked their previous game. Sixers looked terrible last night at home, after looking like world beaters their first two home games. Toronto is a nice team, but I feel Philly may be the better team in the long run. They certainly aren't playing like it now, but they should click sooner rather than later. Really see this game as a tossup that can go either way. Regardless of who wins it, I feel it will be tight throughout. Going to keep it small due to the fact that Philly has been playing like horseshit.

Will most likely add a play on the late TNT game. Check back....

Good luck SB. I'm on the other side. I wish this was true 100% of the time but the Clippers have many of a time proven otherwise...

Didn't have the balls to play it, took the over b/c it looked safer, but had it as a lean....that was my biggest mistake last year, betting on teams based on their last 2 games or so.....nice pick sir:toast:
