From home defeat, the champions are coming, with a three-pointer buzzer beater of Jeff Green headed for the third time this year. Today and against another weaker opponent, logic says "outburst" and with Miami getting steady from 100 and above, but at the same time accepting at least 95 points in each match, all lead us to over 195.5. Spoelstra has the 5 best attack with the 105.1 points, and shoots with the extraordinary and 1 51.6 championship % and 43.3% to the three-pointer (3 the best). Along, it is in the last 10, accepting 100.9 points, resulting in non-attachment of the champions to the defense, since they allow the opponent to reach 47.3% (5 worse) and 37.1% behind the "bow". Miami is one of the teams that run They are very weak with the majority of the tall boys who face Boos to make very good evenings, racing. It is worth noting that none of the seven matches in Miami had fewer a As 196 points.

Milwaukee is one of the under, but over the top, but here we have not seen any team in attack such as Heat. On the contrary, he played with the Knicks (defeat 90-83) that overcame the Celtics (winning with 105 -98) and inside with Raptors (defeat 97-90) which is not the team to escape her score, Cleveland (winning 109-104) and Dallas (91-83) the under could be seen as a surprise . 2 / 5 over. Exactly, however, the Bocks are bad, as evidenced by the 94 points score (7 the worst), the 43.8% sword, but also the extra and 2 is the best of the 43.6% league on the three-pointer. Defenders have a clearly better picture, but as mentioned we have not yet faced with any terrible attack (except for Dallas), so the 96 points (7 best) I personally believe it does not tell the truth.

I think a few 195.5 points for any team going to play in Miami. This is mainly due to the way Heat plays, which as we said run a lot, perform immediately and do not play defense. A further reason today to go back over 100 is an embarrassing defeat from Boston yesterday, and I think they will do so, while it is difficult to accept less than 95.

The team ... over this year's Clippers championship, returns to its headquarters, where it will welcome Minnesota in a showdown that is expected to score over 100 for both opponents. The whole of Doc Rivers started with 4 / 4 (126-115) and Houston (137-118), while the others in the Lakers match (116-103), where the latter were typical hosts in Sacramento (110- 101). The passage from Florida (Orlando and Miami) had defeats and under for the Clippers, while the over did not return despite his victory nor in Houston where he dominated with 107-94. However, it is still the best attack of the championship with 110 points, but also with the third best score (47.8%), while it is still one of the worst defenses, as it accepts 106.3 (4 worse), because it allows the 48.5% (worst of all) to rival efforts if they find a target. However, in the team of this team there is a ... mass of players who aggressively at least have high quality like Paul , Griffin and Redick, while from the stuffed bench to the bench j the Crawfor, Collison, Green and Mullens.Oi attacks Clippers are usually immediate, since it is a team that runs the stadium.

On the other hand, Minnesota comes from winning the same stadium against the Lakers, with the scores and statistics of the "wolves" in the first bout being unreal, as they starred with 16-21 and 7-9 three-pointers, Love having already 18 and Martin 16 points, in a set of 47 only in the first twelve. The final score was set at 113-90 for Timberwolves, with yesterday's game being 5 in a total of 7 races where the Adelman total achieved a three-digit number of points and the 3 that put over 110.In more general, the Wolves are a team that also runs a lot and it is quicker to attack, and of course it helps to show over, especially when a team that uses the same way of play at the middle ends. In the first place and the attack of Minnesota with 106.1 (3) , despite the fact that its percentage is low. Regarding the roster players, Love and Martin have taken their ... team hand in these first seven games, making excellent appearances, with the bench giving help mainly by Barea, Williams and Cunningham.
'
I'm going over 208.5 in this match, as the defenses of the two teams favor it, but also the fact that both of them are showing direct attacks while having a "fire" attack.

Miami won a great victory in Miami in their last 111-110 match after a terrific three-pointer by Jeff Green at 0.6 before the finale, which was the first to overcome 100 points. However, this is one of the worst attacks in the league, with no more than 92.7 (5 worse), but with a remarkable percentage in the 44.7% shoot, but not behind the "bow" the shooter that can steadily damage the opponent from the three-pointer, hence the 30% that is 6 is the worst in the league. In particular, there is no big shooter and player who will carry their Celts on the back, although Jeff Green, with Bass, Sullinger and Crawford to be the ones who with their performance raise the Celtics attack on bearish levels. Note that the limit of 95.5 given for today in the attack of Stevens team, his players have not "caught" in 4 / 7 matches which they did, but on the contrary they did so in their unique home games with Bucks (defeat 105-98) and Jazz (97-87), the defenses of which however does not inspire confidence anyway.

On the contrary, trust defending us showed that we can show them Magic, who, except for the match in Atlanta where they accepted 104, from then on and in particular in the last four has not allowed a score to the opponent that exceeds 91 points. the Celtics put on the previous one (before 3 evenings) and took the double at the Amway Center, while neither Brooklyn nor the aggressive Clippers managed to go over 90. 96.9 points with passive for Orlando (11o best ) gives us the right to believe we can hold it put a team like Boston under 96, since the 40.3% that allows the opponent to shoot is 2 the best of the championship and the surprising 29.3% behind the "bow" the third best of it.

Under 95.5 for the Celtics attack, which I think will return to normal levels of scoring against a team trying to play good defense tonight and has done so far. The 111 Green Points in Miami do not represent the attacking the Celts, with the champions not to be exaggerated if we say they have not made a single defense throughout the match.

Chicago may not have started the season well, but one thing is for sure this year. The fact that for one more year will have one of the best defenses in the championship, Thibodeau puts a huge weight on his team's defense team is the beginning and the end of all the bullfighting matches. At this time, 5 matches 93 points (third best), not allowing the opponent to shoot with more than 41.2% (fourth best) and forcing him to take a lot of shots even behind the "bow" . In two matches at the United Center he counts as many victories without having received more than 81 points against Knicks and Jazz. Bulls players make a lot of energy and a steady passion in each match, and in particular the racket looks like their defense is going up one level.

Cavaliers on the other side with Mike Brown on their bench have turned into a team that plays good defense and of course now likes the under, which was confirmed in their 5 / 7 games so far. In fact, it is worth mentioning how against Bobcats (84), Pacers (74), and Sixers (79) away failed to beat 84 points that did not exceed 36% as a whole, and only with Bucks - always for off-street - managed to reach 104. He has the eighth worst assault with 94.1 and shoots with a disappointing XNU roster MX% (40.6 from the end) .If he wants to get something from the current match, it is certain that he will have to show a good defensive image because he will aggressively face any problems against the harsh and the foul defense "bulls".

I will go under the 89.5 under 1.95's 90 on the stack, as it seems very difficult for this team to hit over XNUMX over Bulls defense when it has aggressively shown nothing special against worse defenses.

Westbrook has returned and Oklachoma can be considered as one of the favorites at least in the West. For as long as Durant is a terrific player and one of the biggest - if not the biggest - scorer of the championship, he does not have the With the return of the 24hron Garda, Oklachoma has already started to remind the "basketball" we know to be - especially in home games - in recent years and next to Durant poses Thunder like it one of the contestants and this year's championship. The latter has already played in three games and the fight with the fight is getting better with 22 crowning with 10-20 shooting against Dallas. Oklachoma has already doubled over the current limit and these were the last two games with Mavericks (107-93) and Pistons (119-110), both inside and away respectively and of course with Westbrook on the floor where he already made a difference in his team's attack, he scores over 101 in the first two races, Phoenix where they debut for this year scored 103.

Wizards, on the other hand, have the worst defense of the league with a point that reaches 107 points while allowing the opponent to shoot with 49.4% which also drops to the bottom of the relevant ranking. They have accepted 109 and 4 from 5 (113), with Sixers 109 and 116, with Brooklyn 112 and Miami alone under the current limit (103). It is a group that has radically changed the "philosophy" of its game, as last year A and Z were her defense which had an excellent performance in the c so this is not the case, and despite the admittedly difficult program he had so far, it would seem to cost them if he continues to struggle in this way looking, that is, just how he will put the balls in the opponent's basket and at the same time leaving a lot free shootout to the opponent. Last time on the same field, 103 received 107 points with its defense as we said to be very remarkable levels, this year, XNUMX is not the only one.

I will go over 106 in the Thunder attack, as it has aggressively strengthened with the return of Westbrook, which gives Brooks the opportunity to have a good "paper" on his bench, listening to Jackson, who will is also 6's Oklahoma player for this year.

In a very poor situation it seems that Memphis is probably influenced by the change of coach in the summer, with the mistake of proving - at least for the time being - the removal of Lionel Hollins, who was also back in the NBA "map" bears "in the last three years. 3 has already been defeated in 5 matches, but the worst of all is that they have not shown anything, as even the defensive defense of their previous years has been a" thorn " if we consider the already three 100 stacks who have received Spurs (defeat 101-94), Pistons (win 111-108 in the overtime) and Dallas (defeat 111-99). In the latest game they experienced their first defeat within, by Pelicans with 99-84 midts had swept to win the FedExForum against the very weak Celtics with 95-88. They are in the last ten with 110.4 points in terms of ranking the defenses after allowing the opponent to shoot with 47.1% and 38.7% in the three-pointers, both the worst and certainly the night-time in relation to the defensive performance this group had This time they will face one of the best teams - if not the best - in the championship, and they will have to curtail downs like Curry (who are doubtful) and Thompson, but also to lock the amazing Lee, something which seems particularly difficult if we judge from their previous appearances.

The Warriors on the other hand will back-to-back, as they had their second defeat in the championship in San Antonio (76-74) yesterday, but Stephen Curry did not have a hard time struggling. (126-115) and Philadelphia (125-94) were much more comfortable than the Kings 110-90 final, with 98 at halftime and the most recent yesterday) also won in Minnesota with 87-20. They have a firefighting attack with Lee, Thompson, Curry and Iguodala showing unstable 106%, 93% and 54.2% respectively.Of course they maintain one of the best attacks of the league with the 53.3 points, drawing with the second best of all 50% and also the second 56.9% on the tripe, something absolutely logically, if you consider what the shooters have in their roster, they are also very effective in defending themselves with only 104.7.

My personal view that Curry did not fight yesterday because Jackson - after the bruise of the "warriors" - did not want to use it in back to back games and I think today he will be right on the floor, if not from the start, to the worst coming out of the bench. This has just been confirmed, the odds will be balanced, while the Golden State performance has already fallen somewhat, faced with a team looking to find its defensive identity and more generally it is not in any way important in good condition.

An amazing start to Phoenix, which certainly was not even their most optimistic fan. The "suns" already count three wins in the first four games, being defeated only in Oklachoma (103-96), with Thunder being ... spitting blood and 30-4, Jazz (104-91) and Pelicans (87-84) that they won in the last 104 seconds with 98 shots of Westbrook and two of Durant's. in New Orleans. The Arizona team is a youthful and very talented ensemble with quality units in the tall such as Plumlee, who is now "unfolding" his talent by performing great performances, the twin Morris who come from the bench and make important help with scores (especially Markieff), "old" Channing Frye and Slava Kravtsov they got from Detroit. A confused racket, ideally framing Dragic-Bledsoe's super twin in the region, with the second one even starting a furier in his new squad. However, Slovenian is doubtful if he will fight today as he does not seem to has completely overtaken the trauma but he is hoping for the opposite. Alex Len and Alex Okafor recently won by the Wizards through an exchange.

Denver will give back to back matches as he played for Pepsi Center yesterday and achieved his first win against the Hawks with 109-107, having a very good night with Lawson (23 with 9-16 3-5-14), McGee (7 with 13-13) and Foye (4 with 7-3 and 5-15print) and Robinson (5 with 11-4 and 6-12) (5 with 10-2 and 3-56tr.) That came from the bench. It is worth mentioning the fact that the "pellets" shot with 14% on the tripods achieving 25-48.8, while the percentage of the shots reached XNUMX%, but they still did not want it much to lose the fight, with the "hawks" failing in two attempts (they also got aggressive rebounds) in the last seconds to send the match to the prolongation. Lack of lies, this year's Denver is a lot of stairs under Denver with George Karl on his bench. Kroenke made "crimes" in the summer when he decided to give "coach" to Karl coach and replace him with infinite head coach Brian Shaw, while Iguodala and Brewer's flight left "naked "the team. In the negative the very bad start that Kenneth Faried is doing, with Shaw probably The Nuggets especially this year more than any other year must win the matches they need at their headquarters, because away from it they will usually leave with the head down, and if they spit blood to win their Hawks customers at Pepsi Center, then things are more than just serious

I will trust a youth team with an appetite for good basketball, who convinces her performance on the parquet against another weakened, bad performer and key players to appear to have no part in the team. A simple win for the Suns , which goes as far as it goes down and difficult until evening has not balanced.

Terrific handicap what Spurs has to face against a team such as the Warriors who can not persuade the preseason, but they do so on regular basis. On the contrary, Popovic's team can count 4 / 5 wins having only been defeated in Portland (115-105), but in any match he did not want to play with "clean" everything in the last minutes of the match and of course no one covered 7.5 point handicaps.Parker, Duncan and Ginonbili carry an additional year in the back and their logical minutes are limited to XN (30-35) one of the Phoenix championship surprises, with 99 points of Parker in the last 96 seconds.

 The Warriors, on the other hand, have the same record with the Spurs (4-1), but unlike San Antonio, they have been persuaded by the fact that, in addition to losing to LA from Clippers (126-115) Lakers (125-94) and Philadelphia (110-90) were much more comfortable than Kings final 98-87, previous 20 at halftime and the most recent win in Minnesota with 106-93. who fired fires with Lee, Thompson, Curry and Iguodala to show unstoppable with the first two to make terrifying appearances, shuffling with fear 57.1% and 57.9% with 55.9% on the triplets respectively. Of course, they maintain the second best league attack with 110.8 points, shaking the best of all 50.2% and the second best 45.9% on the three-pointer, something perfectly reasonable considering what the shooter have to have their roster. Let's say that Curry suffered a slight ankle injury, which was not a serious thing but a bruise, with Mark Jackson making it clear that he will fight normally in San Antonio.

The Spurs did not cover such a handicap with teams of much smaller capacity than this year's Warriors. They are winning, and they still do not believe in trusting a set like the "warriors" on a 7.5 handicap in their favor. Already the handicap has begun, and many companies have not even opened the match, waiting to confirm Curry's presence or not, who will be surprised if he does not fight tonight. However, I'm not prepared to wait and see the handicap suddenly at 4.5

A few things so far from the very weak Bucks, who already count two defeats in the first three games, having lost to the Knicks (90-83) in MSG, but also in their last game by Raptors (97-90 ), while intermediately managed to pass 105-98 from the headquarters of another weakened team, the Celtics. Larry Drew knows his team has a clear aggressive problem (just 92.7 points, with 43.8% in the shoot), for this and now that he is still beginning is experimenting with various things, such as the transfer of O.J. Mayo f on the bench and Gary Neal on the other hand, giving an extra push to the bench, which also includes Pachulia, Henson, Middleton and Antetokounmpo. However, the problems remain in the periphery since Knight and Ridnour are injured. Wolters roulette to take a basic jersey next to Neal and the bench to have no other ace, while Delfino and Udoh are still out of the box. Beyond this, Ilyasova and Sanders are being dubbed, with the second saying he hopes to play tonight, something that will hardly happen century with Turkish facing hassles ankle.

The Cavaliers with ... the blessings of Mike Brown, of course, are the team with the second (behind Pacers) better defense of the championship, having accepted in four games only 91.2 points, not allowing the opponent to shoot with over 40.5 % and 29.3% on the three-pointer, the least striking for Cav. This is as easily perceived as being credited with Bruno's outstanding job in defense. However, in two games away from the Quicken Loans Arena they have not managed to celebrate the first their victory, and if the match in Indianapolis had one more d (89-74 from Pacers), this at Charlotte had to win it if they have octaves (defeat with 90-84). Yet within, they have the ultimate in two matches, winning Brooklyn (98 -94) and Minnesota (93-92). The "knights", as we have already mentioned, are a set with many high quality qualities, both in the pentade (Varejao, Thompson) and on the bench (Bynum, Zeller, Bennett) has gained depth on the bench with the addition of Jack, but also the presence of players like Miles and Gee. It is good that racing started and Irving, is a well that had not started the season.

I will win the very tight Cavaliers, although they have not said so well, as I think their good defense this year, coupled with the fact that the Bucks have aggressive problems while being decimated on the ace can they are heading towards the knights, who have a frightening frontline, great rebound, better qualities than the counter and capable players.

Matches that are expected to be fought by the two teams are between Pistons and Pacers at "The Palace" as Monroe and Drummond will be on the one hand and Hibbert and West on the other. The Pistons already count 2 / 3 up until now, but in the premiere they faced the very bad defensive Wizards who have nothing to do with last year's, while in Memphis it took 5'minutes of the extension to go from 190 points to the two teams and with the "bears" the same applies to Washington. On the contrary, it was a very easy man who was the last one with the Celtics (87-77).

 The Pacers is something of last year's recipe, which contained plenty of wood and tough defenses throughout the fight, with Hibbert and West covering the basket, since the first is the NOXXX blocker at the moment with m. 1, 4.7 and 4 with 3 and Mahnmi with 8, making 2.3 a tremendously efficient three-tier high defense team. The 83.7 is also the best defense team, which allows only 37.9% accuracy to the opponent (1 and here), and as easily understood by the arapano static three tall and is in the first block ave amazing .Pano 12 from 185 it had entered into any of the struggles of the Pacers, while they have not received more than 90.

I expect a lot of "wood" from the tall teams and Indiana tight and defensive as usual. Based on the fact that the power of the Pistons is high I think they will find them extremely dark aggressive and I will choose the under 93.5 for their attack.

The Kings may have begun with the right of the season, winning Denver very hard on the Sleep Train Arena (90-88), but then 2 has defeated defeats - in a confidently challenging doubles - by Clippers (101-110) and Warriors (87-98), but their performance is not bad if we exclude the first half in the Golden State where they achieved only 36 points and were back with 20, while with the Clippers they managed to overturn a 15 point difference from 8 ' the 3 season and then to bring the match equal to the beginnings of 4 without having to score They are looking for a very talented team, with a new coach at the bench of Defense Warrior Defender, Mike Malone, who showed signs of his job-in terms of defensive function- and in Sacramento, though it is still too early to talk about it. The only thing that is sure about this group is that it does not lack the talent and the depth of the bench, with players such as 2011 Isaiah Thomas's Thief, The Rage Ben McLemore, Jimmer Fredette, Jason Thompson, and extraordinary defender Mbah a Moute to come from the bench and give (especially the latter) and the defensive (especially the latter). Of course, the five is dominated by the "form" of Cousins, except for the last match with the Warriors, which started the season with great appearances, while the the same is true for Isaiah Thomas and Jason Thompson, with the first being a 6 player if we judge from his first appearances this year. Whatever the "kings" are full of seats and their headquarters will be strong.

For Atlanta I have done it again, I do not like it this year, it is weakened after Josh Smith's departure, has a wounded player, such as Lou Williams, has no solutions from the bench, which is well below average and especially the Teague and Corver, who are starting out on guard, come in ... the chaos from the bench, with the presence of players such as Dennis Schroder, sophomore Jared Cunningham and John Jenkins and Shelvin Mack. Players that are inexperienced and questionable, even when their tall ones are nothing like that on the NBA team bench, with Pero Antic, Cartier Martin, Mike Scott and Elton Brand. The Kings' bench is the day of the night. But at least for the time being they manage to score points aggressively although they have not faced here we say no serious defense, counting 1-2, with the two defeats away from the West - in particular against Dallas (118-109) and the Lakers (105-103), with the latter taking precedence up to 19 difference points in the match - and 12 at the start of 4 - and try a beautiful one which was finally avoided with two striking goals by Gasol at the finale. As shown in the above results, the 2 "hawks" who have visited the West this year did not get any more than 105.

Klay Thompson has been on fire since the beginning of the season, who rewarded the Lakers with 38 points in the premiere, shooting with the amazing 15-19 and 5-7 three-pointers, but also the Kings with a 27-point point, also having excellent percentages ( 10-17 shots with 3-8 three-pointers). Only against the Clippers he remained at the bottom with 10 points (3-7 shots and 1-2 three-pointers. He is on the floor for 36.3 minutes and today he will face a team that leaves lots of free kicks and generally presents a tragic picture defensively (but only there because it generally goes famous). Given that this is a scary shooter that especially if you let it go it will "bite" you I do not find the reason not to get this over 19.5 in his points you give to the nicest 2.10 from bet365.

Doc Rivers apparently has not yet passed his defensive tactics in his new team, judging by the fact that Clippers accept the 110.7 points in their first three regular games. Specifically, Lakers 116, Warriors 115 and King 101 set their own party aggressively (regardless of whether they won or lost) against the Hollywood players who have the worst defense of the championship, allowing the opponent to reach 47.6% (4 is the worst on the list) worse behind the "bow" where it accepts Tai the 47.8% (2 last) .The improvement in defense seems to be a puzzle to powerful solvers for Doc Rivers and I do not see how to solve ... tonight toward Houston.

Honeston started with 3 / 3 after winning Charlotte (96-83) and Dallas (113-105) inside and Utah (104-93) off. He has already ranked Top10 with the most productive attacks on these first- 104.3, but also surprisingly is in the top six of the best defenses with just 93.7 points. The "rockets" consistently scored well in their first three games, with their 48.1% and 38.2% on the triple , as it is a team with excellent kicks behind the arc, such as Harden, Parsons, Casspi, and especially Fransisco Garcia who looks his performance so far in preseason and regular, as evidenced by his 13 points in the first three games, and something similar is true for Casspi who made a big match with Dallas but did not fight in the last with Utah, something that will not happen today, as it is expected to come back. Harden remains firmly ... the heavy artillery in Houston's attack by showing an unstoppable moment when Ioward seems to have found his "Ithaca" at Toyota Center if we compare last year's start in relation to this year.

The Rockets have three-point terrific shooters and with a defensive image, and in particular Clippers in the periphery, I can not think of how they can keep McHale's team under 100.

The only sure thing about the Thunder until Westbrook returns to action is that they need big appearances from Kevin Durant, if they want to avoid potential gels and be competitive with equivalent or even lower capacity opponents. Obviously the same has always been the case, except that you have Westbrook on the floor and Harden or Martin as the sixth player and you do not have any of them and a bench well below average. So now Durantula must be twice as good. With the Jazz in the premiere, however, it was not. He finished the match with 42 points, but he shot with 9/24, 2/8 three-pointers, but also 22-24 shots (!!!), with his team still getting a difficult victory with 101-98. With the Timberwolves he played only 27 minutes and with the match having "cleared" early in favor of the "wolves" as expected sat on the bench in the 4th period, finishing with just 13 points and 4/11 shots. Today the Thunder will give their first match in front of their audience, in which Durant usually reserves the δικ his special show, which I believe he will do tonight against a talented team, but infinite that will hardly find a way to limit him. Over 30.5 for the Oklachoma super star, otherwise the hosts will have a difficult night .He plays in his "home", he is relaxed (thanks to the 27 minutes of participation in the last match), he takes most of the efforts steadily, he does not want us to trust him too much, even if he did not start so well.

To make an edit here because there is no longer any form of comment, Westbrook returns to action today, after taking the OK from the team's medical team. "Not sure how many minutes will take (obviously and only a few), but the sure thing is he will play.

He fought for the overturning in the second half, specifically 4's period of Pistons fight in Detroit, but eventually he did not stand and defeated with 113-102. But Washington would not say he was bad, certainly not aggressive where he scored over 100 points and had its 4 / 5 key with a two-digit number and Ariza made a big look with 28 points, shaking 8-14, 6-11 three-point and 6-8 shots. Wall and Bale followed 20 and 17 respectively , however their percentages are much worse (8-21 and 6-18 The "magicians" have a triple-gifted region with the aforementioned, while after the addition (through exchange) and Gortat they have gained momentum (because the Okafor given to Suns is injured) even more on the racket, as in roster is already Nene, Booker, Harrington and Seraphin. There is no doubt that there is a lot of quality and solutions on both the guard and the tall.

Today they will face a team of "what we eat and what we put", Sixers. The latter humiliated the Heat with their win at 114-110, although they received 35 and 45 points in 2 and 3 respectively. 1 and the last one were the ones who "burned" the champions (14 and 16 respectively). Philadelphia defensively has nothing to show and in general this year it will be a team that will steadily overtake 100. preseason that fewer than 103 only accepted in a showdown (by the Celtics).

The 104.5 offensive of the "Primate's" attack looks great against a team that allows a large number of free shots and goes on a quick attack on the longest duration of the match.

He was in trouble, but in the end he managed to get an easy win at the Bobcats premiere with 96-83, "clearing" the match in the fourth season, where he was the most productive (29 points). The reason Houston is now welcoming Dallas , which also comes from a home win against Atlanta with 119-108. If he has managed to score as many points this year as Atlanta, I do not find how he will eat less than 110 than the Rockets who are aggressively "fire". "rockets" are greatly enhanced by the addition of Hawward, so aggressively both defensive and defensive, but also with a padded we would call a bench after the arrivals of Casspi, Garcia, Brooks and Brewer with the first two to perform excellent preseason and to show they are ready to give valuable help to score mainly behind the bow "which was proven by the Dominican at the premiere where he stopped at 19 with 7-13 and 5-9 three-pointers. Houston looked at 47.4% in the game, against a team that is playing defense, today against one that does not play is waiting for much more.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, put more than 30 points in the 3 / 4 season of the Hawks Premiere and slammed with the awesome 57.1% having both Ellis (32 with 11-17) and Nowitzki (24. with 8-14) and Carter (21 with 9-16). More generally, all those who played except Calderon had a good performance aggressively but from behind trains ... with "hawks" shooting with 48.7% and have a good night of a player like Cartier Martin (17, in as many minutes as 4-8 shots) and Milsap-Teague.

I'm looking for more than 100 points for both teams and for Houston specifically over and over 110, so my line around 106 looks just as good for the crow.

A group with a lot of future is the one of Magic, as it is one of the youngest players in the league, with players who do not lack the talent but at the given moment they lack the experience. Still is in a rebuilding phase from the moment who finally finished the series with Dwight Howard and offensive shockingly, we will see this year also occupying one of the last two positions in the East. However, the premiere of the "magic" in Indianapolis was not bad, even though they were defeated by 97-87 in a match that basically "
he has cleaned up for Pacers in the last period, as up until that point, Orlando managed to stay close to the score or to go ahead in some places, although his periphery with Nelson, Afflalo and Oladipo was offensive in a very bad night, is also true for Vucevic. Instead, all of the above good looks in the second match in Minnesota, but again failed to win, with Kevin Love sending with a three-pole bomb in the finale the showdown on the prolongation and the "wolves "to ultimately prevail with 120-115. This is the theme with the "magic" that they can not even win on their good night, as it turned out, with experience playing a crucial role. In preseason he managed to win 2 wins in a total of 8 races, showing a very poor defensive image, like but it's worth mentioning that 2 has been defeated by the Pelicans with 99-95 at the premiere and 101-82 at the preseason closing.

New Orleans, on the other hand, had an excellent presence in the friendly games he gave, losing only by Heat (108-95) and winning as we wrote above two times Orlando and one Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Oklahoma and Washington, with most but it is a team that lapses with talent and quality, with the additions of Holiday and Evans, the healthy now Gordon and the improved Davis to make her claim to one of the last positions leading to the playoff. At the same time, Brian Roberts' good performances in pre, stable Rya Anderson (who is injured and will not fight for 2 weeks), and the addition of Morrow creates a bench on which New Orleans can rely. At its premiere, we would say he was probably "committed suicide" against Indiana, as in the half was ahead with 14 to accept the second total of 59 points - just achieving 40 - for the final 95-90. In particular, the bench did not help at all, with Evans making a bad debut and Morrow and Roberts moving in shallow water.

It's easy or hard to see Pelicans prevailing today in Florida, who will have an extra motivation after the suicide of the premiere. Alone, their rosters are much better than Magic.

With her hands lost many of her games in the preseason Atlanta, which measured 6 defeats and just a win. The "hawks" appear quite weakened compared to the previous years and especially aggressively - since it also appeared in the friendly that surpassed 89 only in a match - has a big problem since there is not even Josh Smith, with Paul Milsap replacing him but on paper - not covering the gap left by the current Pistons player. In general, there is no the shooter that will provide steady solutions aggressively with most as it is easily understood to end up in the hands of Horford, with Milsap, Carroll, Korver and Teague being the rest that will complement this year's Hawks, whose bench loses greatly in quality but mostly in regional solutions , at least until Lou William returned. At the opening, 118-109 defeated in Dallas, with Teague (24 Points with 7-13) and Millsap (20 Points with 9-15) performing superbly, "hawks" aggressively, considering the loose to no home defense of the hosts.

Raptors showed the exact opposite in the preseason, ending with 6 wins and 1 defeat, defending remarkably in defensive, but especially aggressive on most of their games. Toronto is a team that has a very strong pocket, with Lowry, DeRozan the Gay in 3 and Johsnon-Valanciunas, and gained depth on the bench with the additions of Novak, Augustin and Hansbrough. Casey's team made a start with the right winning even the most difficult Celtics in Canada with 93-87, without impressing her performance, but to go rnei simanitkes support from the bench.

I think the Canadians will make 2 / 2 today, but even in the event of a loss, I think that it will be totally marginal, so I will choose an extra security with the + 3.5 handicap for the predators.

"Once upon a time, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs were faced with the NBA finals ....." If there was no internet, it might be that a narrative could begin some years later, by a man who was happy to seeing these finals in another who is not our generation and of course he would not have this possibility. A dreamlike series of finals from the best basketball fairytale that he did not miss out on anything. With close games offered for cardiac episode, eruptions on both sides, tripos bombardments, triopled record (1 and 6 final), extra time (6 final) great shot to be left in the story (Ray Allen in 6 final) are just some of what we saw in these fantastic seven races.

However, if one of the above is more intense, this could not be more than the tremendous three-pointer achieved by the top three-pointer in the NBA's history, sending the game to 95 (95-5.2) before the end and the famous yellow ribbon and trophy are already in the pitch for the award. What finally did not happen after the match was considered in favor of the Heat in the extra time and the debates on whether Popovich should have commanded fouls in the last attack of the Florida club, Still, these things for those who have seen even a minimal NBA in their lives are very clear about the attitude they have in America in such cases, with the Italian journalist of Gazzetta Dello Sport not surely in between since otherwise he would not have even thought of asking the technician of the "spurs" why he did not order a foul. The latter could not have misunderstood the question, saying: "That's one euro a question for play, right? ", to continue (screaming) the Italian saying," We (in Europe) are fooling "and end the conversation with one of the very great coaches to say to him: Yes, you are fooling We do not do here. "

Did the Italian, following the words of Pop, understand why this foul has never happened? We probably will never know it, unless one was found to explain to him that in the top basketball championship of the planet, what counts above is the and how the whole game will make it more appealing in order to "sell" it to the viewer. And the Americans unfortunately or fortunately know well ... the art of "selling something to the people", as of course and of the spectacle.Here (in Europe in general) we would still perform (with 1-2 points difference in the match) to find a player who will just throw the ball behind the center, and then .... Then, afterwards, for years they will remember Ray Allen to score one of the biggest shots in the NBA history at 5.2 before the end and to send Miami out of the hell of a lost league to the paradise of his 7 match. Here (especially in Greece) years later they would still talk about why the Spurs did not fool them, and there they were this is never going to be heard, because there they leave the protagonists of the sport to talk and who do not look like they will "steal" a match that can not be judged (as has happened and has been infinite times) in favor of the team that is ahead with three points, sending the opponent to the shots and then the opponent. If you are better you will win, if not win, so simple, you do not need any shot to judge a game or even a title, so we have lose the "big shot" account you have you are going to find a target in the NBA. Because this is the essence in the sport, the spectacle. Because that's what you will remember after years, a big shot that has passed in history and not two players going from one side of the stadium to the other. they are making shots.For simply, this is the NBA ...

YC If you have a different viewpoint, just think about why you stay in the evenings to watch an NBA match and what you expect him to offer you.

PS 2 Because the signatory wants to say it all, he has been a fan of the Heat for about a decade. This of course does not play any role in the view I have and which I mentioned in the above article. The same I would write and in the opposite case .

PS 3 I also wanted to express my opinion on LeBron James, but in order not to spread a "bed sheet" I will make it directly to another article.

A great disaster has been created yesterday on the other side of the Atlantic since it saw a scenario that sends Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Clippers. But that does not seem to go away, as everything has been "frozen" since the name of Eric Bledsoe fell on the table. Specifically, the LA team seemed prepared to do everything so that in the first phase the next coach who would sit at the counter would be Rivers and second to take with them KG and Pierce. A goal that only easy is not considered since the "Celts" to agree to this demanded DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe in exchange for 37forwardforwardcentre and at least one first-to-the-minute ticket to compensate for 51time technician who has another three years contract against 21 million dollars.

That's how it all seems to fall into the gap, as "Hollywood" judges Boston's demands, which in all of the above has also put the absorption of the contract of one of Jason Terry or Courtney Lee by the Clippers. this is the least, since the latter are not even discussing the possibility of giving Bledsoe. This is because they are rumored to be in exchange for a "pack" that together with Blake Griffin will convince the Lakers to move on to a sign and trade that will send Howard to become sympathetic with Chris Paul, as both superstars want. In addition to that, it is obvious that Clippers have been involved in discussions with Magic and Pacers to bring one of Afflalo or Granger to Los Angeles respectively. The case of the guard of Orlando is clearly easier as Indiana wants to keep Granger, who comes from a knee surgery, and has another one year contract with 30, who is looking for a healthy life expecting to break her the dominion of Heat in the East aiming to "build" an even more competitive team that will obviously have its presence in the NBA finals, with the ultimate goal of convincing Chris Paul to remain in the team renewing his contract even if Clippers fail to bring him "Superman".

Whatever - and returning to the issue of exchange with the Celtics - according to what they say in the US, the landscape will be fully clear within the next two days, when it will be seen if either side is willing to throwing water in her wine. At the same time, if the exchange gets flesh and bones, then the Celtics' flag, Paul Pierce, will join the game, with Clippers trying to reunite the Massachusetts trio club , but this time in Californian. At this point it is worthwhile to make a parenthesis we have to say that the Celts have not yet decided on the future of 35 charm forward, who still has one year contract. So, Danny Ainge will have to clear the management's intentions by the end of the month as to whether pay the 5 buyout of the dollars and release it by saving 10.000.000 or going along in the last year of his contract by paying to Pierce 15.300.000. Closing the parenthesis, if anything is not true in the next few days, then administration of the LA team will turn to Lionel Hollins and Brian Shaw, who have already met Clippers in the past week (as was the case with Byron Scott), with the former being the favorite if it is not successful the attempt to acquire Rivers.
