been fading Atl and Golden State since sunday...has been 4-0...they were covering at an unusual high rate and could not keep it up...will do the same tonight!!!
My observation is that the market hasn't adjusted properly to this team's recent success...remember a team who had comparable odds to win the title as the NYK at the beginning of the season.
So the market undervalued this team, covering every point spread since December 30th..setting every line between 4.5 & 10.5 points, and they were covering everything, literally...it didn't matter the opponent...so they over adjusted and had lines of 17.5 & 14...so they finally don't cover a spread... Now we're suddenly back down in the sub 7's again?
I'm not buying it....Last time out, the Hawks (in a really bad spot) playing the second game of a back-to-back, in the middle of a west coast roadie, with the Clippers on deck, won outright as a 6.5 point road dog and despite a late Portland surge, they held steady.
GF is right, and when it comes to the Blazers, I listen. I feel the absence of Lopez is being undervalued. That's why I had this game pegged closer to 8...still nothing worth firing on the Hawks for me because like SleepyJ said, one would think this team is just "DUE" for a loss.
I don't think they have a problem with Portland tonight...but that's why they play the games, right?
