No, Sacramento is not that bad and should win in the 20&#8217;s but they are dreadful when compared to pretty much all other NBA teams and it should show tonight as they are well outmanned by the still somewhat improving and up and coming Hawks.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> In the end today I do feel that the cream will rise to the top, west coast east coast, back-to-back&nbsp;whatever. <st1:City><st1:place>Atlanta<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> may not run like they can at Philips or when they are rested but after 48 minutes they will outclass the Kings and get a solid road victory.<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 color=black face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Matt&#8217;s picks are at <\/span><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\"><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><font color=black><span style='color:black;font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal'>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/span><\/font><\/b><\/a><font color=black><span style='color:black'><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>\u00a0 <\/span><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\"><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Matt Rivers: Hawks (minus the points) at BetUs Sportsbook \u00a0&nbsp; &nbsp; An East Coast team laying points like this on a tough back-to-back all the way across the country is never the true key to success but let&#8217;s face it, the Kings are very possibly the worst team in the entire league and besides &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/2009\/11\/free-nba-winner-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Free NBA Winner<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6267\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
