This is my thread to see If I am the real deal in NBA picks. Lets see how this goes.
Phoenix Suns @ LA Lakers Play -7.5
I think the Suns are just about to hit the speed bump and hit it hard. The line is fairly high to cover but I think Kobe and co will cover the spread and give the Suns there second loss. Phoenix are backing up after last nights crushing of New Orleans, look for Bynum to give Frye more then he can handle. People are out of no where claiming Frye is some starting centre, at Portland he was the third string centre. Will Nash be able to keep up with Brown and Farmar's speed, this game has Laker routs written all over it.
I hate betting with the Lakers but I think you are correct in your pick and analysis. GL, hope you hit it. OK to call you Mound-pounder? Pounding mound rules, as any heterosexual (or lesbian) will tell you/agree, so it is a compliment!! Peace out Man.
Short write up but basically Utah is better on paper, better in recent head to heads and Philly just barely beat New Jersey. If you look at Philly last five games at home they have only beaten Milwaukee and New Jersey and lost to teams like Boston and Washington, if we believe Utah is still in the bracket or close to the bracket of Boston then I think Utah is the best bet.
Take this winning pick
Current Record = 1 Wins / 0 Losses

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls Play -6.5 Chicago
Chicago is coming off some hard losses. I think this game they will run over Philadelphia. Philadelphia made a poor road team in the Jazz look good. I believe Derrick Rose will light up tonight.
Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls Play -6.5 Chicago LOSS
Current Record = 2 Wins / 1 Losses
Wow just missed the line Chicago won by 6 not 7 thanks to a three pointer by Philly in last 15 seconds when outcome was already clear. Back to the bets tomorrow.
I am suprised this has such a high line, it is mostly due to Atlanta scoring a lot in there last few games. Though these teams both have big winning streaks going and Portland have some interior defence that can keep this game to about 47 points a quarter. Making under the play here.
