From 10-2-2013


The Southwest Division:
San Antonio Spurs 55 ½
Houston Rockets 54 ½
Memphis Grizzlies 49
Dallas Mavericks 44
New Orleans Pelicans 40


Atlanta Hawks 40
Boston Celtics 27 ½
Brooklyn Nets 52 ½
Charlotte Bobcats 27 ½
Chicago Bulls 56 ½
Cleveland Cavaliers 40 ½
Denver Nuggets 47
Detroit Pistons 41
Golden State Warriors 49 ½
Indiana Pacers 53 ½
Los Angeles Clippers 57
Los Angeles Lakers 33 ½
Miami Heat 60
Milwaukee Bucks 28 ½
Minnesota Timberwolves 41
New York Knicks 49 ½
Oklahoma City Thunder 50 ½
Orlando Magic 24 ½
Philadelphia 76ers 16 ½
Phoenix Suns 21 ½
Portland Trailblazers 38 ½
Sacramento Kings 31 ½
Toronto Raptors 36 ½
Utah Jazz 27 ½
Washington Wizards 42

I'm seeing OKC at 53.5 otherwise I would definitely bet over on the 50.5.

Other ones that I like:

Over 41 Minnesota
Over 40 Cleveland
Under 47 Denver


One's I'd consider:

Under 42 Washington (seeing this at 38.5 though)
Under 52 Brooklyn
Under 40 Atlanta.

Philly at 16.5 would intrigue me a bit if I were the wagering sort...they're going to be terrible, but I don't know if they'll be the extra special kind of suck necessary to go 16-66 or worse.

Spurs

LAL!!!

Based only on Vegas projected win totals (and as pointed out above, those are 3 weeks old and many of these numbers have moved 1-3 wins):

Playoff seeding:

EC
Miami Heat 60
Chicago Bulls 56 ½
Indiana Pacers 53 ½

Detroit Pistons 41

If anyone picked the over on the Suns 22 wins, you could pick up your check last week.

Jeff Hornacek deserves strong consideration for Coach of the Year, among others.

He should definitely win coach of the year, even more so with the Bledsoe injury.

Very worthy, but so are the Trailblazer and Raptors coaches.
