150,000* INSANE UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR Plus Bonus Lock
Your winners here are on:
1. 150,000* Bucks
2. 50,000* Hawks
1. The Celtics have been completely sick this year and are right now thee best team in the NBA, bar none. But things are not going to continue to be this easy all season long and the Bucks are a better than people think kind of a team that can all of a sudden rise up and make a statement as you saw in that last upset home win over Orlando.
I really like the Bucks makeup and think they will finish the season a lot better than their expected 36 or so wins as Vegas predicted. Michael Redd is a star who can bomb away from anywhere. Throw in Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villaneuva, Mo WIlliams and Yi and there is a solid corps there who should not just get blown out here.
No doubt Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce aare as good of a threesome as we have seen in awhile but these guys are still not unflawed and it's just a matter of time before the C's stop playing at the ridiculously high level they have been playing at.
This number is reserved for a bottomfeeder of a team which Milwaukee is just not. I would not be shocked in the slightest to see the Bucks hand Boston their third loss, I really wouldn't. The ingredients are there for Milwaukee as they continue to fly well below the radar.
Doc Rivers' group did not look very good in that last win but non cover against the Kings and I will gladly grab such a healthy number here with the potential of the Bucks!
2. Why not grab this number as well with the talented and improving Hawks?!?!? Relatively speaking Mike Woodson really has his squad cooking as they were 10-10 before that last game loss for the first time this late in years and I mean years!
Joe Johnson is a scorer and a star and Josh Smith has been pretty darn good. The probable suspension to Al Horford doesn't help but Atlanta played a great game early in the season in the one point overtime loss in MoTown. The Pistons are obviously very very good with Rip, Chauncey, Rasheed and Tayshaun but the Hawks are not scared one bit and should be able to compete here as the last road game, just a few nights ago, was a surprising outright in Orlando at this pretty much same number of 10.
The Pistons are still not an explosive run you into the ground blowout type of a team. They have been scoring a little more this season, save that last game loss in Houston, but 10 or so points is still a lot to ask for them to cover as they still somewhat like to play the defense and win games 90-84.
The Hawks lost that last game at home to Toronto but were in a tough back-to-back letdown situation after the great win in Orlando and will be more prepared to adequately compete tonight against another elite Eastern Conference squad!
