NBA Day II

[Carmine Bellini]

Well yesterday was not a bad sart but it could have been better. 1-1 here in my posts as I won with the Lakers and lost with the late addition of the Kings. The Kings cut it to 6 with a minute to go to tease me, but could not hold on. I think it's important to notice lessons for the long term or the short term, and to keep track of certain things because they have a slight possibility of being important later. So after Day one it would be important to at least acknowledge that home teams and favorites went 3-0 to start the season. My play here today is going to be on a total: Over 193 Orlando / Milwaukee If the Magic have a strength it is on offense and the Bucks who have slumped in the first quarter of preseason games vow to come out scoring tonight. I don't expect to see Grant Hill in the lineup but Howard and Francis should keep the flow going and scoring ablaze in this game. Maybe some more later, best of luck to all, CB

Re: NBA Day II This goes back to yesterday's discussion but I thought I would post it anyway: In the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, Ohm Youngmisuk writes that "on the eve of the season opener against the Miami Heat," Alonzo Mourning "warned" that "Jason Kidd's unhappiness" and his own "discontent over the Nets' offseason upheaval threaten to shadow the team for months until either player, or both, find a new home." Making matters even more difficult, "Kidd continues to rehab his surgically repaired left knee, which will likely keep him out for several more weeks." CB
