Damn!!! All three games could be blow outs.

Boston might keep it close though just because they downplay their weaker opponents. :lol:

Boring night of basketball. Mavs and Nets will probably be the most entertaining to watch.

this is odd thing to ask but for any of you gamblers out there, why is Bos only favored by 6? Is Rondo out?

I'm also a Mavs fan, and I see it happening. 10 game winning streak (has to end someday, no?), Mavs very often play worse at home (don't know why really), and have battled/been sloppy the last two games.

Rondo will most likely be sitting out this game. He was having some hamstring/plantar fasciitis problems during the end of the Denver game last night. Also, Boston tends to suck on back-to-back games, so that might be another reason why.

Philly's not a bad home team and they've been playing well as of late, winning 4 of their last 5 (blowing out struggling teams). Iggy got healthy and Jodie Meeks in the starting lineup has been a revelation.

Plus, Boston's on a back-to-back.

TNT has had a lot of bad games this season. I guess when they made the schedule, they were expecting certainly teams to be good, and it hasn't turned out that way.

This.

Obviously I have interest in the Magic game of course, but that Nets vs. Mavs game should be pretty interesting. Boston does tend to play down to their competition at times and it is a back to back for them, but I think they are going to handle the Sixers. If Rondo isn't playing, then that game can get pretty interesting. I certainly agree that the nationally televised games this year have been lacking so far. Hopefully that will start to pick up with the Christmas games coming up.

I guess I'm the only that thinks that both TNT games will be close.

ahonui06 · Post #20 » by **ahonui06** » Fri Dec 10, 2010 1:02 am

I think the Celtics-76ers game will be close because I think Rondo will sit out, but I think the Magic will destroy Portland.
