Friday lessons NBA

[Guest Carmine Bellini]

Almost every game on the board has some sort of lesson involved tonight and some have more than one. Things that have to stand out right away: Indy/Was - No Artest for the Pacers (Injury Lesson, weak in this game) Orl/Den - Recent trade yesterday Stevenson now instead of Giricek NJ / Tor - No Vince Carter for the Raptors Atl / Mia - Trades impacted them yesterday moving Rasheed Minn / Det - Same as Atlanta Utah / NY - Same as Orlando Phx/Mem - Trade (not as big of an impact) and Injury to Miller Leaving four games not touched by an injury or a trade for the most part. Just remember to keep your eyes open. :eek CB

retirement... after a run of absolutely poor results... constantly beaten by .5 or 1.5 i have decided should tonights go the wrong way there is only retirement from punting as an option. rugby I have wigan +12.5 in relation to basketball I fancy the pacers, is this wrong?... artest is out which will be a defensive negative and they lost the last meeting of these teams, its basic first half season play I am going on here with a gut instinct that indiana will play well. Also no bosh or carter would make new jersey look like a play
