ACB - CB Murcia v Real Madrid

7 February 2010

Preview By Tipster Mafia

Handicap +8.5 : -8.5

Well Murcia is the weakest team in the ACB when looking at the record, but this team has played some good games, esspecially at home, where they can put a decent performance and even get a win vs some bigger clubs.. When they met in Madrid, it was 73-66 for Real, but it was way back in october, Real is now much more powerfull, they have found their rhythm, and now have 5 consecutive wins in the ACB, and they will be looking to continue that great run today.. So Murcia is playing pretty good in front of their supporters, they are very efficient team at home scoring more than 80 points per game, and they will try to put that kind of effort here, and to stay as close as they can be with Real.. Real will come into this game in full strenght, only Reyes could miss this game and that is most likely to happen.. Well Real has one of the best teams in Europe, but something isn't working that well yet, thye lost their last game in Euroleague at Maccabi, Messina was pretty pissed, so i expect Real to start strong here from the begining, they will be motivated and will want to take a win here.. So Garbajosa, Kaukenas, Lavrinovic, Jaric, Prigioni, Hansen, Llull, Velickovic and Vidal, will all be ready for this game, and if this team wants to win, and they do, i can't see Murcia stoping them today.. Real has much more experienced and higher class players in every position, also they have a big rotation, so when the starters go to the bench to take some rest, some amazing players will come in and Real's game should stay on the same high level throughout the whole game.. So i don't see Murcia being a threat today if Real comes with one inspired performance, and i'm hoping they do, they are unstoppable in the offense, and they will be able to score around 85 points today, and in that case this game should go over, and Real will be able to cover this spread.. The pick is Real Madrid to cover this spread, mid stakes, good luck..
