[B.A.R.]

Short month, ASB and then we're almost to these games somewhat mattering!

 

[emkee]

It's the 'dog days' before the All Star break so gonna get some funny results and a fair bit of ugly ass basketball.

Everyone a bit banged-up and a little fatigued...

 

[B.A.R.]

Knicks didn't score a point from the 7:30 mark of the 4th until 39 seconds left

 

[emkee]

All the 'outs' caught up with the Knicks.

LeDraftKings got another win vs a banged-up contender.

Bro picks his spots to keep that legacy afloat...

 

[B.A.R.]

One note for Sunday.

2nd in 3 days in Denver

Port and Denver

1st game went over

Unders tend to fare well the next outing.

 

[pb278817]

How does Memphis get a way with resting everyone on their active roster

And this one went under by 5 points.

Lol they had to get creative to not forfeit

 

[Inspekdah]

So no more team Lebron? It’s East vs West again?

Thank god

Deets?

None of the carnival bullshit the AS game became, it's back to just bare bones East v West, traditional basketball. Well as traditional as a zero defense game can be.

Still using the 4th quarter system?

 

[emkee]

Favorites 28-7 (21-14 ATS) so far in Ferbruary.

Favorites 15-0 SU (12-3 ATS) last two days...

 

[emkee]

Average margin of victory last two days for the chalk is +17.3 points...

 

[KJ]

Still using the 4th quarter system?

Pretty sure that's a negative

 

[B.A.R.]

Brutal.

That's the only quarter I'd be willing to watch.

 

[KJ]

You can get plenty of it in 3 on 3, which I've watch more of than the all star game the last 5 years.

Pretty glad they're going back to this, usually once the ball starts rolling it gathers moss and is impossible to get back to the roots. Everything about All Star weekend has sucked imo the last bunch of years. It's always been a gong show but they added a bunch of Mickey Mouse gimmicks to make it unwatchable.

 

[survive&advance]

i'd love to see them try the Elam Ending in the all star game

 

[KJ]

I think that's what they've been doing since 2018 no?

you're right, i haven't watched the game in years. was it any good for the ASG? really big fan of it for TBT

I haven't watched the ASG since, just too much carnival stuff but I do enjoy it in the half court games, nice feature and I believe that sport is in the Olympics this Summer

2018-2023 Elam was used.

First 3 quarters were layup lines and 30 foot 3s

Then, actual basketball in the 4th.

 

[twinkie13]

Interesting one tonight for Pels. Quick home vs Raps and headed on the Mardi Gras roadie.

Clips coming home off a 7 game trip.

Physical game Sunday night in Miami

Absolute shootout but also a tight one in ATL.

One day rest off the SE b2b to end trip.

Pels off 138 points and 3 straight wins.

 

[emkee]

Tillman a good pick-up for Boston.

I have a feeling the Sixers are gonna do something crazy this deadline...

 

[emkee]

Keep an eye on the late scratches.

Maxey just appeared on the ? list for Philly along with House and Morris.

 

[twinkie13]

Yea I don’t have many lines avail…maybe 4 games.

Be wary

 

[guaranteeed]

Black mamba Jerseys for a Colorado team is insane how much the lakers and nba have memory holed a rape

[B.A.R.]

'Stons smoking the Kings wasn't on the bingo card.

They were up 16 mid-third...

then down 4 near end of 3rd

win by 13

So many 3's.

That's cut throat, obviously time heals all wounds

Local media are already lined up to crucify Ishbia if he brings in his boy Bridges at the deadline, the almighty dolla don't care

Knicks down a bunch of guys.

This should fit the bill.

I'd wait though for more value.

Trust me, this is a tough one to contemplate lol.

Dunno, a lot and I mean a lot has been removed from that roster.

They got this dude at small forward tonight...

Charlie Brown (Knicks, SF #44)



Mavs not really a team that should be 'selling' on wins but of course the league is what it is.

Yeah, not as confident here as the Sixers at Denver and the Lakers at Boston situations.


Trade deadline factor.

But, we'll see how it shakes out at +6.

 

[B.A.R.]

Curry just went 6-6 on threes in the first 9 mins in Indy before resting.

 

[B.A.R.]

True dog days before the AS Break.

Pistons win in Sacto by DDs

Pistons come back from 23 down at Portland to win in OT.

Pistons up 9 vs the presumed favorites in the West 36 hours later.

The clippers scored exactly 5 points

FIVE

From the 6:53 mark until 2 seconds left.

As I missed a 1h over, I obviously noticed this heavily.

C'mon.

 

[B.A.R.]

Russ the only clipper who isn't treating this like a preseason game.

Paul George 6-6 from inside the arc yet keeps jacking 3s.

 

[pb278817]

Clips ml?

 

[B.A.R.]

Clips ml?

I did bet the ML -130 when like was -1.5 at the 72-64 score.

We'll see. They finally got a lead.

I didn't go to big though. Just a weird time of year.

Later in say March that's a pounder.

Ya dabbled -2 at quarter break

Let's finish this!!

Clips settle for 3s a lot today.

Trying to not finish it easily hehe.

PG finally gets hot from 3.

 

[B.A.R.]

Here comes Detroit again.

NBA, always a run.

Up 13 with 3 and change left you'd hope the best NBA team could close out the worst.

No doubt. Never easy but a win nonetheless

It was.

I also had half unit -6.5 from 2nd quarter.

So, thanks for letting Cade have 5 layups there at the end.

Plus a missed FG.

Honestly forgot about it until up 13 and figured it would lose anyway.
