February Discussion Thread

Bright side is won’t kyrie be a unrestricted free agent after this season? And ain’t Westbrook coming off the books? Unless kyrie and luka make magic together I assume kyrie going to la one way or another. Unless there more complicated things I don’t understand which always possible. Lol
 
Does anyone even care that tomorrow is the deadline?

Seems like Silver doesn't know how to promote the game, it's the rare midseason drama NBA gets. We all know after tomorrow the whole thing will be about playoffs. March and April are irrelevant.

That is odd, I knew it was approaching but didn’t really realize it was 2marro. For as good Nba usually is promoting themselves seems like every other sport drums up more hype around trade deadline than they do.

The way everyone in the west seemed content to sputter around .500 I do think March and April be a bit more dramatic, meaningful than it used to be when I never paid any attention from asb till playoffs as we used to know pretty much who all was in and who was gonna be playing in conf finals.

Most definitely.

That's almost its own mini playoff this year.
 
I gotta get a little more work done, be back in hour or so to figure out tonight’s card. I’ve done some work on it but wanted to wait till they hopefully had most all the props up.
 
Im starting to carve out a good system around work and other obligations to get capping done and getting to casino, half of it while im on the clock! +ev!!

There will be stupd shit here, obv Crowder has to go but new owner as of yesterday means some crazy

Going to be a long day
 
Friend of mine who I listen to cause he plays lot of nba dfs and does pretty well (I never had any success w that!), he likes Sabonis tonight but I lean more to Fox, houston is actually pretty good on the boards so that takes away one of Sabonis categories, maybe it a price thing or doesn’t matter to him If Sabonis boards down but matters to me! Point guards usually take houston apart, points and dimes. Fox in same spot SGA was last week, 1st game vs houston didn’t hit his numbers, then SGA smashed them in 2nd, think fox should get at least his scoring average and should drop bunch of dimes, I could make a case for Huerter treys but his damn minutes all over the place, can’t stand having money on a dude who not in the game enough! I can take losses, losses wken they missing so be it, when they sitting on bench like Edwards in the blowout last night just sucks!
 

I think they making more out of it than there is. He just came into the game knowing it was gonna be Bron show and we know what a moody little bitch AD can be: you give him a excuse not to be engaged and that what you get. Him and bron boys, even tho I gotta think him not taking the mantle from bron annoys him I still think they tight. Best theory I heard bout why he was only one on bench seemingly not caring on record breaking basket was he just got his 4th foul and was pouting cause he wanted to be on flour. That more believable to me than any narrative he wasn’t happy for or doesn’t like Bron. He just did what he does and wasn’t engaged in a game he knew from start was about Bron. AD checks out when he has a hangnail, hindsight this shouldn’t have shocked us at all!

The flow between those two was so good on Saturday... And awful last night ... shitbag Stan Van Gundy pointed it out in the 2h.

As I added to last post. AD checks out when he has a hangnail or paper cut. Doesn’t take much for him to act like a vegetable. Knowing it was Bron night was more than enough for him to be mentally not there.
 
high tendency to be aloof seems like a fitting description of AD. If this dude had any drive he would be in mvp conversation every year.
 
I hate how teams put these guys on injury report you know most likely playing but it keeps books from posting the fuckinb props for that guy and others as obviously it effects everyone’s outputs. Pain in the ass. My new system has me able to wait till bout 4 in afternoon to make my plays but last night they still didn’t have some up by that time. I’d love to see Gobert props or others if he out, fuckinv t-wolves didn’t even have injury report out at all last hour. Lazy fucks.
 
I didn’t look at schedule when deciding to start a Edwards 3 point chase last night, don’t like playing guys in Utah, like it even less when they on a b2b from Denver! Like it less when it juiced -140 to ov 2.5!! I didn’t think this out well, chase might be over, not way I envisioned but not sure I have any conviction to double up tonight, matter fact I have none. Lol. I’d rather play Edwards over points seeing how crappy Utah is protecting the rim, he shouldn’t settle tonight he should take it to the rack!
 
FVV was falling into the category I been eying to play under Trey prop, i really didn’t want to play him, luckily he got bet up to 3.5 treys with plus to over so he fell out of range, pretty happy bout that. Not thrilled but Tatum under 2.5 treys +125 fits, can’t say I like that but im not gonna like any these plays, just gonna see if the pattern I’ve noticed bares any fruit, they all gonna be plays I don’t want to make, won’t be confident in, and will feel stupid if/when they lose, all that said they will all be plus money and think will hit a solid enough clip to ne profitable, how much im not sure, hopefully very! Lol
 
Forget kyrie points, even tho I don’t want to. Dallas +8 appealing to me, dunno bout ya’ll but I watched lot of clippers road trip, Mfers couldn’t build a lead they didn’t blow or try their damndest to blow! I dunno how kyrie works long run but replacing luka with him for tonight I think ya basically still got the same team, kyrie similar enough to luka in the way that matters I don’t think it be much of any adjustment for the other guys. One ball dominant point to another wjo can both get to rim and score at will. Kyrie personality makes me think big game tonight by him.
 
Somehow he convinced he was disrespected in Jersey. Lmao: the things we can make ourselves believe!! That about the equivalent of me saying I’m crushing props this year. Lol
 
The gs/port game feels like a game some the little guys hit their points.. klay is mfin -130 for ov 4.5 treys, I dunno if that a tell or just nuts? Does he have a history of going HAM on his bday? Mfer went 12 for 16 the other night from deep, wtf the odds he continues shooting like that? Can’t be good!
 
Let’s look at klay rest of year after monster 3 point game:

His 1st was a 7 for 15 vs magic
Next game 3 of 10

He goes freaking 10.-13 vs houston (Jfc)
Next game 3-7

8 of 16 vs pacers
Next: 4 of 8

10 for 21 vs hawks!!
Next 3 of 10

8 of 15 @chicago
Next: 4-8

Last game 12 of 16

Tonight? Plus money he doesn’t make 5. Anyone else see a pattern?

If this aint a good case to play klay under I dunno what is, only concern he Carries it over for bday. If it me im worried bout my bday after party!
 
What suns lineup gonna look like tonight? Not only missing the guys they traded but booker sitting also. I was actually thinking suns till I saw booker out, still wouldn’t play hawks, ayton should get a whole bunch of touches and hawks interior d nothing special. Do suns have anyone who can check dejounte Murray? Pretty sure I’ll let line get bet up and be tempted to play suns, def thinking bout ayton props. Im assuming Craig and Lee be in starting lineup, no idea what that leaves coming off the bench?

Hoping DeRozen sits, if he out gotta love Vucevic over points+boards. He outta be able to push claxton skinny ass around. Just rather DeRozen not in there taking shots away. He took 26 shots last game w DeRozen out, he should fly past 32.5 p+r if he comes anywhere close to that kinda volume. Really shouldn’t matter if DeRozen plays or not but he tends to disappear more often on the road, if DeRozen out I wouldn’t worry bout, if DeRozen in I’d prob leave it alone.
 
Be interesting to see how late/many props they release today with the trade deadline.
 
Did lakers move energize bron enough to play tonight? I assumed for sure he would sit, not sure now. Assuming none the guys they picked up will play tonight will they? Even if they do it outta take a little time. Kinda feels like bucks should roll them unless the pure joy of Russ being gone carry’s them, lol.

I was pleasantly surprised there a decent amount out for most the games already, magic/nuggets the game without many up which odd considering, but guess Murray health has lot to do with that.

Physicals need to be passed all around.

I'd be surprised if the new guys played. More likey at GSW Saturday. Pure guess though.

That's good.

You might pluck some good ones. I'll be following along.

Yea, I didn’t think it be that fast. Pretty sure the guys nets got for kyrie playing tonight but that happened earlier in week. I havnt looked close yet but again assuming DeRozen out I’d think Finney-smith check Lavine, that could def hurt his numbers.

it’s odd who they have numbers up for or don’t as of yet. They have numbers for Dinwiddie but not Finney smith or cam Thomas, im sure they gots no clue what that hell to do with him? They didn’t before, now who knows what his minutes look like? Gonna be a interesting day for so few games.
 
You would think Torrey Craig could accidentally score 10 points tonight, figure he gonna play a bunch of minutes. What say you @KJ ?

Likely

Not in capping mode yet, that trade fucked up an insanely fun Phx Open/SB weekend here. Texts, FB messages galore and I can't answer half of them because I don't know what I think.

I think I’d rather get a p+r for him but they only offering points at DK.
 
still dunno if bron gonna play, listed as questionable: I woulda bet my left nut there was no way he play tonight after breaking the record and it appearing his foot was bothering him during that game, but now im wondering if finally getting rid of Westbrook and bringing in some help rejuvenates him to wanna try and win this game? I dunno, the help won’t play and chances they beat bucks short handed domt seem real likely so I’d still think he sits. DK has a number up for him tho, that doesn’t mean he for sure play but usually means more likely than not.. Anyone heard or have a guess?

Still nothing but questionable on DeRozen also, really need him to sit.,
 
No props for my guy Jamal Murray and he listed as questionable still. Would love for him to come back and get on his over points:.
 
At moment assuming DeRozen out I see 4 plays. Still have more guys that could get posted but I kinda gotta wrap it up by 3 today
 
Im running out of time. Maybe if something pops later that I love I can find my way back over to casino but I gotta head there now to make sure I get anymore bets in.
 
I still don’t see bron out but line saying he is. Props being taken down say he is. I didn’t really expect lakers to be in this anyways,, don’t really want to lay it w bucks but can’t figure AD keeping them in it. I like holiday props cause I like pg’s vs lakers but who knows if this competitive and I could see any number of Milw players hit their props.,

Can see MIL sitting starters for the 4th quarter too

This game screams stay away
 
Normally I like going bucks 1st qrtr when I Don’t want to lay the points for game but in this spot feels like longer it goes worse it gets for lakers
 
I could actually lay the points here which super rare for me to lay -8 or more but think it milw or nothing. Holiday could hit his par in 3 qrtrs if it a beat down. Of course any number d bucks players could have big game

DK has the ML up 10 wager today, rare I bet on the obvious team though
 
Want to talk myself into suns, no reason other than it be so nba for them to come n w bunch of backups, no bench, and win game., everyone on pods picking hawks easy, saying play alternate lines and shit: talking blow how hawks just blasted suns at full strength not long ago, blah blah blah. Suns come in and play hard, hawks go thru motions and be lucky to win., lol. I like some props here tho
