Who's favored to win?

stephGRAHAMbury · Post #3 » by **stephGRAHAMbury** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 7:25 am

Wizards are 4-5 pt favorites I believe...

Wizards are a 4.5 point favorite. Wonder how much the Lopez injury swung the line.

Is Okur playing tonight? If-not, who are your front court starters? Thx!

Okur was only able to get to 1 practise so apparently Avery doesnt want to throw Okur in from the start but will see time off the bench.

Our starting five will be:

Williams
Stevenson or Morrow
James
Hump
Petro (cant believe i typed his name in the nets starting 5)

So front court rotation will be between Sheldon Williams, Hump, Petro, Okur with James and Shawne Williams maybe playing a few mins as stretch 4's

I believe the actual starting lineup is:

PG: Deron
SG: Morrow
SF: James
PF: (Shelden) Williams
C: Petro

We can only pray that Avery wisens up and realizes the stupidity of his ways... Bringing one of Humps and Okur off the bench in favor of Williams or Petro is bad enough, but both of them? Ugh...

Oh man, our front court looks so bad without Hump and Lopez.

Turns out Ireland was right...

Maybe Avery isn't as dumb as we all thought he is?

Start Shelden at Center, and bring Shawne and Okur off bench.

I get mad everytime he steps foot on the floor.

Humphries will likely start at PF tonight. I also expect Sheldon Williams at C.

C- She. Williams
PF- Humphries
SF- James
SG- Morrow
PG- D-WIll

I think the bench is more interesting right now than the starters. Anyone of them could be DNP-CD.

Sha. WIlliams
Okur
Stevenson
Gaines
Petro
Brooks
Farmar

Could all be in he game at some point. The only sure DNP's will be Horner and J. Williams.

Regardless of his lack of practice time I'd throw Okur out on the court from the get-go as it would drag McGee out to the perimeter and neutralize his shot-blocking.

This is going to be painful.

Anyone know how to use the free NBA league-pass preview?
