We're post All Star break and it's time for teams to settle into who we think they are. (Yes Dennis Green's voice is rattling in my head now too). I'm thinking as the worst team in the league (again) the Charlotte Bobcats, are a solid go against. Remember they started 7-5, thus have gone 5-35 since. That's more than pathetic, it's their own category of horrendous.
The team who has underachieved the most so far and if they can stay healthy, whom I think is a good go with, is the Denver Nuggets. They had an unfortunate schedule where they played a ton of road games early in the year, now that that's evening out, they're playing very good ball and will have more home games in that high altitude to tip the scales in their favor even further.
As far as the mid season MVP award, you can go no further than LeBron James. Whether a fan or not, everyone agrees he's having one of the best seasons in the history of the league. With the Trade deadline looming in a couple days, we'll find out who the teams with a legitimate chance to win it all are very soon.
(Side note, a very good article on the deadline rumors - http://nba.si.com/2013/02/19/nba-trade-deadline-rumors-tuesday-josh-smith-kevin-garnett )
I'm starting out the second half with an Under as my free play, and it's a good one! Washington and Toronto are both playing really good ball, and it all comes from the defensive end. The Wizards are dead last in offensive efficiency and top ten in defensive efficiency. Toronto stats cannot be counted just yet, as we need a bigger chunk of data including Rudy Gay. Although you'll notice since Memphis lost him, their team defense is noticeably worse, including five games in a row going over. So I'll take tonight as a defensive battle between two up-and-coming teams and play UNDER 190 1/2 in Wiz Vs. Raptors!
