I'm teasing the twolves to +1.5 against the rockets tonight with the over at 168.5 because tmac is hurting and probably going to miss the game, for any interested

nerve-wracking game, but the twolves pulled through for me. Wish i went with my instincts on the Dallas game, damn Finley's injury made me second guess and lay off it.

i love the shaq doubters that always say he's dropping off. shaq has been limited because the miami heat are limiting him. they're doing just fine right now, and when it comes down the stretch and shaq is dominating we'll see the shaq doubters muck.

im not saying shaq isnt a great player, I'm being a realist....he isn't that young anymore, during the finals last year he only had 1 good game....he has been injured and missed time the last three years...and you can not bank on having a dominant shaq during the postseason anymore....as the last two years have shown.

He's not really being limited by the team, he isn't playing at full strength....which seems to be a reoccuring thing now. Yeah, with the weak Eastern Conference they should have a walk to the conference finals....but we've seen before that the pistons can handle him. And they sure didnt look just fine tonight against one of the west's best teams. Dallas blew them out of the gym

Looks like Mello finally had a good game this year, good to see he's back on track. But is there anyone in the world now who thinks LaBron won't be miles ahead of this guy throughout their careers? People were arguing Mello should have gotten rookie last year, but James is da man.

Yes, Lebron will be miles ahead and will be Cleveland franchise player. He has a better attitude. Mello is sulking already and he may end up being a journeyman if this keeps up.

Did you see Lebron's 4th quarter against Phoenix? 19 point 4th quarter comeback almost singlehandedly. I was amazing!

Im dont bet on basketball but if you do bet the under/over betting I would definitely bet on Utah over. Utah is one of the best teams in the league. AK47 is a superstar in the NBA and no one gives him any respect. Utah also runs about 10 deep.

Also helps that Utah has scored 95+ pts in all 5 of their games.

you sure are a big fan of turning one game into a huge deal. there really isn't much else to say on this topic -- the miami heat are a damn fine basketball team, shaq is still dominant, and he will continue to be dominant for at least another 3 years after this one.

YOU were the one who said that they were doing great, I simply replied that they werent that night. I wasn't making a big deal out of anything. If you claim something that turns out to not be quite on the mark, and I call you on it, that makes it a big deal? You sure are a big fan of commenting on the last line of a post and negating the rest which refute your statements.

And the Heat are a good team, but a lot of teams are good. When they show they can beat quality Western Conference Teams, I'll really buy into em. As it stands now, they havent shown it...and you can say wait till shaq gets rolling, and that he is dominate, but the numbers dont relay that from the last two years, and neither do the results. So, I need to see it to believe it with Shaq...just like with the Heat as a whole. It isn't a preordained fact like you claim it to be
