Well have a write up for tomorrow; however, here are my plays so far.

Overal: 12-9-1
NCAAB: 4-4-1 NBA:2-2 NFL: 2-0 NHL: 4-3

NCAAB: Long Beach State +3.5
NBA: Clippers/Knicks OVER 200.0, Bucks/Cavs UNDER 194.0
NHL: Carolina/Florida OVER 5.5

Milwaukee Buck at Cleveland Cavaliers (194.0)

Both teams will look to slow down the pace and look for their half court set. For the Cavaliers, you want your best player in LeBron James to touch the ball every time on the offensive end. They will look to work the high scene and roll and try to isolate certain match ups. As far as the Bucks are concerned, while the Brandon Jennings show was exciting for awhile it’s time to get back to your roots. Andrew Bogut is one of the elite centers in the league and with his exceptional passing ability it is a must that the offence goes through him on every possession. It should be a game of post...re-post and let Bogut go to work down low or find the open shooter. So LeBron should be able to score every time down the floor; however, as long as O’Neal is on the floor he will not bring Bogut outside and allow him to remain in the paint and disrupt James every time he tries to drive the ball to the basketball. Therefore James may have to settle for outside jumpers...and while he is a great player, the one weakness in his game may be his jump shot. Now for the Bucks, Bogut as primarily none as a passing and defender, it is going to be hard for him to provide offense against a solid Shaquille O’Neal, while Hickson and James are lingering to get the weak side block. A slower pace and great defence should cause shots to be altered...keeping this one under the number.

PICK: UNDER 194.0
