...YTD 0-0

Wish Everyone Here the BOL this Season..:cool:

NBA Season:

Chicago (0-0) at Miami (0-0)
Season Openers for Both Teams..Last Time these 2 Teams Played each Other was in 1st Round of Last Years Playoffs..Miami won Series 4-2 with Home Team Winning each Game until 5th One and Started Some Questioning was Maimi Playing like the Team that will Be Able to Win Championship..Inter Team Bashing/Talking..Miami is 2-0 ATS SU and ATS Last 2 Played But Chic is 6-2-1 ATS Last 9 Played Overall..O/U is at 5-5 Last 10..World Champs Miam will Hang the Banner and Get their Rings before the Start of the Game..Preseason the 2 Teams went in Different Directions..Chic was 6-2 and is Looking to Take Over the Central Division from Detroit..Started By Getting their Center Ben Wallace in Off Season..Miami was 2-5 wirh D Wade having a Sore Hand and is Listed Day to Day but will Play..Only other Injury to Note is to Miam Guard J Williams with Knee and is Still Out 2-3 more Weeks..Last Games Played (Preseason)..Chic Won at Home vs Toronto..108-97 on Friday 27th while Miam Lost at Home vs Houston 96-71 on Wed 25th..with Wade Only Player to Get Double Figs in Game for Miam..Coach Riley is Upset at the Way Team has the Lackluster Attitude that they Can Turn the "Switch" On and Off when they Want..Coast Along vs Turning it On..Emotion will be High to Start the Game with Banner and Rings But Chic is a Good Young Team that Improved Themself with Picking up C Wallce to Block Shots and Protect the Lane and Get Ball the Gordon and Hinrich to Bust Outside Shot..Also New Player to Chicago 6-7 G Sefolosha from Switzerland will be Worked Into the Team..Miam Pretty much Stayed Pat with same Key Players..Really Think Chic is a Team to Watch this Season and Gives Miam all they Want on Tuesday Nite in a Low Scoring Game with a more D Style of Game...So..

Phoenix (0-0) at LA Lakers (0-0)
Season Openers for Both Teams..These 2 Teams Played Twice in Preseason Spliting Games..Phoe Won 99-91 on Oct 16th and LA L Won 94-91 on Oct 23rd..Both at LA L..Last Reg Season Meeting was Post Season in 1st Round of Playoffs that Phoe Won 4-3 But had to Win Last 2 Games to Advance..After the 1st Loss LA L won 3 Games in Row and Had Phoe Only 1 Game from Being Knocked Out then Lost the Last 2 Games..with 2 Games going into OT..Phoe was 4-0 ATS and 3-1 SU Last 3 Played Between them and 6-4 ATS and 5-5 SU Last 10 Played...Both Teams Played Poorly in Preseason with Phoe going 2-4 and LA L going 4-4 in NBA Preseason Games with LA L Playing All 8 Ganes at Home..Last Games Played..Phoe Lost at Home to Seattle..108-102 on Monday 23rd and LA L Lost at Home to Denver 126-108 on Thursday 26th..Looks like LA L will be Stating Season without Player that Wears #24..Kobe Bryant (New Year..New Number)..that is Questionable with Knee..Before Denv Game Kobe took some Perimeter Shots But has his Jumping Limited During some Drills he Ran..But has Pain and is Questionable for Game and Looks like will Not Play Right Now..Phoe Lost F Tim Thomas to Clippers in Off Season which Played Big in Playoffs for Phoe But Miscomunication sent Him to Clippers when He wanted to Stay..Phoe Got G Piatkowski from Chic..G Banks from Minny and F Marks from S Ant..LA L Lost F Devon George to Dallas but Got G Green and F Jim Jackson and F Radmanovic...Phoe is Bothered in Preseason that their Offense is Not were they Want it to be at Only Scoring 102.2 Points per Game..5th Best in Preseason..Up-Tempo Style is being Copied buy Other Teams But Phoe is Not there Yet..C Stoudemire is Still Hurting at his Knee and is Listed at Probable but will Play..What is More Bothersome is that He is Not Playing at His Level More than Knee Hurting..Really think Phoe is Ahead of LA L Right now and LA L will Miss Bryant (If does not Play) and George (Early in Season) Alot and will have to Adjust and Phoe will be a Better Team on Tuesday..Mainly because Phoe has their Leader..G Steve Nash..So..

Gotta miss Red. Part of 16 championships with the Celts? Thats unreal.

Thor, glad to see you back at the basketball. Definitly missed you the end of last season. I think im going to start the season just watching instead of betting, but I was leaning the same way with you on both games. G/L, and lets get this season started!

I've been anticipating the start of the season since about a week after the finals! :cool:

I like the reasoning behind both picks.. However my gut says that Phoenix might not be able to cover the 6 points. Would be interesting to see what happens though.

Best of luck.

85% of the public is on Phoenix, which makes me skeptical. Lets hope the public wins this one!!
