JPicks
Pretty much a regular
56-44 (56%) +8.40 Units
9-10 ML's +0.35 Units
Well the first 100 bets are in and the first month of the season is almost over. Have a goal of +75 units on the year and at this rate I'll end up short of that goal. Not sure whether that means I need to make more plays or hit at a higher rate, but at 56% I don't think I can reasonably expect anything higher. So it looks like I'll be expanding my selections a bit and hope my % doesn't take to much of a hit.
Last night sucked. Went 2-2 on straight bets and 0-1 on ML's. Lost the Jazz over by 0.5 a point, Magic shit the bed in the 4th, and the Kings missed a layup at the buzzer to kill my +700 ML dreams. It's great to be back.
And on to tonight and I'm not going to lie. This isn't my favorite card ever.
Warriors/Wizards O209 -- I love Crawford running the point for the Warriors. From everything I've read about the practice reports he's slipped right in and Nelson loves his passing ability. Doubt we'll see much of Blatche or Etan tonight as they certainly aren't going to take advantage of Biedrins on the offensive side and they can use McGee to guard him while staying more athletic. Sure the Wiz play better defense than they did against the Knicks with the new coach coming in, but I don't think it'll stop them from running like they've done in all the previous matchups.
Suns/Thunder O201.5 -- Doubt Shaq plays and that always makes the Suns a more mobile team. Love Durant to SF with Green sliding down to PF and Collison going to center. T-Dot nailed it in the discussion thread that Scotts benched all the big stiffs that played for whatever reasons. Teams becomes alot more athletic Wilkins starting rather than Petro. More than likely to see a track meet here.
Cavs/Knicks U212 -- The one thing I don't like about this game is that the teams have combined to go over in their last 3 meetings at MSG. The addition of 3 players to the Knicks should cause enough confusion to keep this game below 200 though. While Cleveland has been running a bit more this year they have to realize they can't outrun the Knicks and this is the first of a 4/5 so saving some legs for the rest of the week might not be a terrible idea. Some other good thoughts on this one in Tuck's thread by him and Sportsnut.
Pacers +8 and ML +300-- Was going to wait on this one, but I'll pull the trigger now. Anybody look at the Pacers schedule over the next couple of weeks? @HOU, CHA, @ORL, LAL, @BOS, @CLE, BOS, @TOR, @DET. Unreal. They had chances to win @ORL and ran out of gas on a b2b with OT vs. Miami the following night. Think they grab the W here as Dallas wallows in their four game win streak that involves wins over the Knicks, Bobcats, and Grizzlies.
Wizards +1 (-05c) 1st Half --See Below
Other games:
Also have a bunch of interest in the Nets as big dogs. Thunder @half if they're down big.
