2/22/2015 9:05 PM NBA Basketball 815 Memphis Grizzlies/Portland Trail Blazers* Under 95 -110 for 1st Half *2 UNITS*
*Not sure I've won a single bet involving the Blazers this season. I guess there's always time for a first...
2/22/2015 9:05 PM NBA Basketball 815 Memphis Grizzlies/Portland Trail Blazers* Under 96½ -118 for 2nd Half *2 UNITS*
*Shooting probably picks up in the 2H, but probably not enough to make up for the lack of pace in this game...
2/23/2015 7:35 PM NBA Basketball 702 Miami Heat* -6½ -115 vs Philadelphia 76ers for 1st Half *2 UNITS* 2/23/2015 7:35 PM NBA Basketball 702 Miami Heat* Over 51½ -110 vs Philadelphia 76ers for 1st Half *2 UNITS*
*That 2H total in Portland last night was pretty much an under bettor's nightmare (milking the shot clock but still making every shot - I mean, seriously, I think they missed all of one shot the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter). Anyways, the Heat have already laid the lumber to the Sixers twice this season to open up games (60-54 at Wells Fargo in November, and 57-42 at American Airlines in December), and that was with the likes of Michael Carter Williams, Tony Wroten and KJ McDaniels doing the scoring for the Sixers. Well, unfortunately, those guys aren't around anymore, so for a team that was already operating at a -7.9 point differential in the 1H of games this season (-10.4 the last 5), things aren't likely to get any better against the Heat. Admittedly, the absence of Chris Bosh isn't ideal, but he only suited up for one of the two previous matchups this season, so that's sort of a wash. Plus, those two games pre date the emergence of Hassan Whiteside, so with Erik Spoelstra apparently open to the notion of pushing the pace a little now that Goran Dragic is in the mix, things could get pretty bad, pretty quick tonight for the Sixers.
Just for "fun", I decided to make a graph to chart my season to date. Insane. Just insane. December where I dropped 11 in a row, won 10 in a row, and dropped another 11 in a row all within the same 32 game span. And February where I dropped to just above -30 units and had to reel off 13 in a row starting at the All Star break just to get close again. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. Next year, maybe I'll just end it in November and call it a season...
2/23/2015 7:35 PM NBA Basketball 701 Philadelphia 76ers* Under 45½ -110 vs Miami Heat for 2nd Half *2 UNITS* 2/23/2015 7:35 PM NBA Basketball 702 Miami Heat* -7 -110 vs Philadelphia 76ers for 2nd Half *2 UNITS* 2/23/2015 7:35 PM NBA Basketball 702 Miami Heat* Over 52 -110 vs Philadelphia 76ers for 2nd Half *2 UNITS*
*Doubt I hit all three (might not even hit one), but can't see this keeping up from a Sixers perspective (no Philly turnovers, no free throw attempts from the Heat, no typical Sixers 18 point quarter... yet.) Hope I'm right...
2/23/2015 9:05 PM NBA Basketball 713 Brooklyn Nets/Denver Nuggets* Over 101½ -110 for 2nd Half *2 UNITS*
*Neither side shooting that well and still got to 99 (but a bitch ain't one : )
2/23/2015 10:35 PM NBA Basketball 715 Memphis Grizzlies/Los Angeles Clippers* Under 50 -110 for 3rd Quarter *2 UNITS*
*Words can't begin to express how much I hate that Denver team. Anyways, this is how the Grizzlies got me last night, so let's see if they can do it to me two nights in a row...

*Should take about 2 minutes to find out how stupid this was...
2/25/2015 10:05 PM NBA Basketball 721 Memphis Grizzlies/Sacramento Kings* Over 99½ -110 for 1st Half *2 UNITS*
*Hard to imagine the Grizzlies offense coming out flat for a third game in a row. Plus, with the way the Kings are pushing the pace now, might be be able to get away with as little as 40% from the floor and still hit 100 with time to spare.
2/25/2015 10:05 PM NBA Basketball 721 Memphis Grizzlies/Sacramento Kings* Over 100½ -110 for 2nd Half
*Looks like I made an accounting error on the 21st (which I've since corrected), but bottom line... looks like I'll need to update that graph. : )
