Three bankers on money line for today to double your money. Philadelphia, Utah and L.A.Lakers they have better teams and one way or another they will get them.

Also we have big favorites on Boston, New Orleans, Cleveland, but the spread is over 12 points and you never know when they relax. The garbets time is crucial for the spread.

Charlotte has a chance to win for the first time this season. Each team to play versus the Knicks has the same chance too. They trade centers (Okafor for Chandler), get more body and height in the paint. The point guards Felton and D.J. Augustine are the mind of the team and they have open line with Coach Brown.
New York is the joke of the league. Suddenly they found that team lacks on defensive aspects and try more on this part of the game. With Coach D’Antoni on the bench you can win only if you score over 110+ points. Also I think Larry Hughes is the next goat, in place of Stephon Marbury.
So I’ Going with Charlotte-1

Too many points for the Agent Zero and his Wizards. Washington won at Dallas with very good performance. So the 6,5 spread is huge. Atlanta is very solid team, with playoffs experience, but Washington also has good and healthy team.

This Oklahoma team is my favorite for this year. Very young and athletic, with three amigos Durant-Green-Westbrook, to have all star potential.
Big task tonight at Detroit and we see how developed than last year.

Miami is better team than Indiana. Dwayne Wade wants to have big season because this summer become free agent.
Indiana plays an all around game, with all five to have the ability for three points. If they are on the zone they could win anybody.

Toronto won Cleveland with big performance of Bargnani and Bosh. The two big men is the power of Toronto and they want to go deep in the play offs.
Memphis waits for Allen Iverson to overcome his injury. Till then only Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo they can lift this poor team.

Orlando shows from the first game what we can see this year. A lot of pressure on the opposite team and more three’s. Howard and Carter are the leaders and when Rashard Lewis will come back, they will be more effective.
New Jersey loss to Minnesota by Damien Wilkins’ buzzer beater. Before that wasted 16 points lead in fourth period.
The trade of last summer between these teams makes the game tricky. Normally Orlando they can win with double digit.

Golden State is super Dog with +5 points. Rookie point guard Stephen Curry is very good scorer and alongside to Monte Ellis they create a superb duo on offensive end.
Phoenix is the same old good story. Steve Nash and Grand Hill are one year older, Amare play at center, but never this is his position. They can score over 100 points, but they can let their opponents to do the same.

A little risky combo is Toronto-2, Charlotte-1, Miami+1,5 and Golden State +5 at Round Robbins 3 out of 4.

NBA Wed 28 of Oct.

Very busy day today with 12 games.

We have clear favorites at Orlando, Atlanta, Boston and San Antonio and some very unpredictable contests, like Clippers-Phoenix, Minnesota-New Jersey and Memphis-Detroit.
The odds show as light favorites Cleveland, Miami, Oklahoma, Golden State and Denver.

I ‘ll take Oklahoma -7,5 at the spread, because this year everybody waits for them an explosion and a battle for one playoff spot.
Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook are the young guns in the league and in their third year as pro players they have the experience and the talent to respond on this mission. Big men like Ethan Thomas and Nenad Krstic they have the quality to overcome the opposite front line.

Sacramento is rebuilding around Kevin Martin. Rookie point guard Tyreke Evans is an explosive scorer and second year big men Haws and Green have the talent, but not the experience. Veterans Noccioni, Mason and Udrich, compose a very limited team and if they win over 22 games this season, it will be their achievement.


Orlando made major moves in the offseason. First left the all around Turkish forward Hedo Turkoglu and then the starting rookie Courtney Lee.
But the arrivals were most important, while former all star Vince Carter and his 20+ points landed on Amway Center, alongside to forwards Matt Barnes, Brandon Bass and the reserve point guard Jason Williams.

Philadelphia with Eddy Jordan on the bench as a head coach, want to have a successfully year like a year before. But the key of that success, point guard Andre Miller, left to Portland and leave a big hole on the organize part in this team. Luis Williams is very good scorer, but he hasn’t the creativity of Miller.
Iguodala and Elton Brand are the leaders of the team, but I think they have start to finding a real playmaker.

Minnesota will play without Kevin Love and Big Al Jefferson is doubtful. New Jersey has more options and deeper bench.
Second loss in a row for Cleveland? I can’t believe it, but the spread of 5 points is huge. Especially when Toronto changes their team, hold on just all star Chris Bosh, Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani.
If Cleveland has a poor productivity from the bench players, the sadness is around the corner.

Miami and Dwayne Wade want to have another playoff year. The young players will be better and if Wade is healthy all the season long, Miami will catch the spot.
New York is the same unreliable team like the 8 last years. The good thing is that 8 of 14 roster players, is on the last of their contracts. That means they have reason to play well, to find a new contract. But don’t forget we‘re talk about New York. The joke of the NBA.

And the season begins.
Shaquile arrives at Cleveland to gives his experience and his outstanding inside play. Things that let Le Bron to focus his effort on the perimeter. Shaq also can release the good three point shooters, like Mo Williams Dooby Gibson and Antony Parker. And of course Le Bron is the reighning MVP and the leader of the team.

Boston is one of the three megapowers of the East. Hopefully Kevin Garnet is back on track, without any concerns for his health. The big movement was the acquire of Rasheed Wallas, who get a new role on the Doc's rotation, coming from the bench. Rajon Rondo is better and better and captain Paul Pierce alongside to Ray Allen, all are ready for the 18th banner on Garden's ceiling.

Today the total of 187 points is too big. Both teams know that defense is the chapter #1 to dominate in the court.

The other games on schedule are very tricky. There are big favotites, but the 'dogs are capable for the victory.

Washington with Flip Saunders on the bench and agent 0 Gilbert Arenas healthy, is a playoff candidate and the -8 points, probably is too much.

Houston without the big stars Yao and T-Mac, is underestimate. The trade Ariza-Artest make them a little weak on outside score. But is the same team that threw out the Blazers in the first round last May and forced L.A. in 7th game on second round.
So the -9,5 points is big number and I'm going with the Rockets.

The Clippers is a bad joke, because coach Dunleavy. He has a huge number of great players, but he failed last season to make playoff. If there wasn't Sacramento, the Clippers they were the worst team of the league. It is pitty for Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman and the N#1 overall pick Blake Griffin, to have head coach the overaged Mike Dunleavy.
L.A.Lakers to win over 10 points.

Slovakia plays versus Poland away. The game is very important for them and means nothing but pride for Poland. But in the last game at home against Slovenia, Slovakia was very poore and lost the game. So their first position on the group standing is on danger.

Uruguay took three very important points at Ecuador and their motivation and mentallity are at the top. They need a single win to make the WC10 at South Africa.
Argentina is in very bad condition, despite won last game at home against Peru 2-1. They performed bad and they are lucky to scored the winning goal on 92nd min. from off side position, without referry to cancel it.

Costa Rica needs to win at States to secure the third position to give WC10. But USA is not the team to make favors. At home Yankees are very efficient team and they count years without loss.

Belgium under Advocaat crassed Turkay 4-0. The young players they want to show their talent and Estonia isn't big power.
