NBA Saturday 1/14

[Stifler's Mom]

San Antonio Spurs -8

If they don't show up to play tonight, they're not going to.

Utah Jazz +3

Look ahead spot for Miami? Plus Utah is playing some decent basketball right now.

Phoenix Suns -6.5

Suns too much offense tonight for the Cavs to keep up without Hughes. Eventually the Suns should pull away in this one.

Golden St Warriors -2

They're favored here for a reason, and it's not because like 80% are playing the Lakers on the ML. Breakout game for a better GS team than has been showing up recently, IMO.

LA Clippers -10

Seattle doesn't play defense....while the Clippers do. Clippers an all around good team vs Seattle who is an all offensive one, who is missing their best offensive player. I think a big game inside from Chris Kaman could be the difference here believe it or not. I'll lay the -10.

2 units each

Guess they're not going to.

They had a 17 pt lead in the 3rd qtr too. They're just not a very good team right now. Won't be playing them again until the linesmakers adjust.

The Spurs do have some issues. Parker turned the ball over too often tonight, only 3 assists.
They did just beat a tough defensive unit in Memphis, however, giving up a huge lead is the same thing they did against New Jersey.
Be interesting to follow them the next couple weeks.

Hope you did well Stif!!

Yep, that's twice the Spurs shit on me (the NJ game and now Memphis tonight) after having a huge lead.

In the past, if you got down 15-20 points at SA, you had no prayer....no matter who you were. This year they just don't seem to have it to put teams away. Plus Detroit is clearly a better team right now. NO ONE will beat Detroit this year in the playoffs, unless of course injuries come into play, but that's a completely different story.

Golden St does indeed suck ass. Maybe I give them too much credit and it's probably time to wait till their lines adjust more in their favor too.

Kaman did own the boards tonight though and really helped the Clips jump out to their big lead. Clips showed what it means to play as a team and have other guys step up with your "star" (Elton Brand) out....unlike Seattle who can't do shit without Ray Allen.

Phoenix was a fun game to watch. Lebron trying to outscore the Suns by himself was definitely interesting. He's damn good. Shawn Marion has become one hell of a player as well, although his jumper is about the ugliest thing I've ever see, lol.

Utah just pisses me off. They blew so many chances to score easy baskets midway through the game, and it led to them getting down too many. They just aren't a team built to be able to catch up.

Lebron is a freak man. shooting 60% from the field, single handedly keeping his team in it....oh yea, he's 21.

Out of all the major sports, he might be the guy right now I'd pay to watch play. He puts on a show. I might pay to watch Bonds or PUjols hit before him, but its close.
