NBA 9.1
Lähetetty:
SAC -6.5
Just imagine that … lights go down in America West Arena tonight when introduction of starting lineup for the hometeam starts. Announcer shouts … and here we have Shawn Marion!!! (crowd roars, cause Phoenix is back from long 5 game road-trip and Marion is the best whats left) … Joe Johnson!!! (half of the crowd will be crying cause they know this isn`t the name they want to hear start at the PG)…Leandro Bar…eee Barbosa!!! (one part of the audience will be thinking “who the hell is he???”) … Donyell Harvey!!! (must take a look on him cause this will be best chance to see him on spotlight for night - he playes max 15 minutes and does even less) … Jake Voskuhl!!! (21 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds for starting center in the last game … yeah he must be good). You must face it – doesn`t look good against Kings, even if they play infront of their homecrowd.
Kings has lost to Seattle in their last game, but are 8-3 from last 11 games. They are 24-9 in total and are in top spot of the Western Conference. They still don’t have Webber, but with last couple of months they have shown that if C-Webb comes back they will be the team to beat. Reason why Kings lost to Seattle was simple Peja had an off shooting night with 5-14 from field and 19 points. Hard to see it happen 2 nights in a row.
Homecourt is the only advantage Phoenix will have in this game. They have lost last two games playing without Marbury and Penny against Chicago and Milwaukee. Now they face much harder task. Newcomers McDyess, Ward and Eisley will probably start from bench and play limited minutes ... there is not much they can do to turn this game around. Sacramento will be sure favourites tonight and –6.5 as a handicap offered by bookies will be taken with high stakes.
