[B.A.R.]

Definitely the dog days...Lakers look half drunk playing this game vs lowly Detroit.

 

[B.A.R.]

Played Lakers live...

I would hope guys like LeBron and Davis who have been just going through the motions for 2 hours have their attention peeked right now

I would do ML usually but they have that WAY overpriced right now.

 

[B.A.R.]

I would expect a few whistles LA's way too....

Detroit taken and made 18 more FTS

OT: Some dude just won 100,000 on the halfcourt shot at qtr break.

 

[B.A.R.]

Food for thought locally...

Last two games Detroit has inserted D-Rose into starting line-up to start the 3rd quarter...

27-21 at GS

32-19 at LAL

 

[B.A.R.]

LeBron for MVP. I was just saying this in a nutshell in discussions earlier tonight...

[B.A.R.]

Very odd scheduling circumstance... Detroit 5 on West coast then back East for another road game at Cleveland (42 hours later). Then day off and Cleveland at home again. Just to note...

 

[B.A.R.]

Celtics worth a look tonight if Kemba is back.

C's in Philadelphia tomorrow night.

Spurs have somewhat turned a corner.

Spurs first win over a .500 team in over a month was the Bucks game ( last was OT vs Rox Dec 3).

Have the C's lined at -9, spread feels low.

 

[Retburj13]

C's in possible look-ahead with Process-less Philly manana on TNT?

 

[pb278817]

if shuma isn’t in the c’s no one should be haha

 

[B.A.R.]

It can definitely be a lookahead... Off a stinker in Washington ... Look for a better shooting effort. Meanwhile, the Spurs just shot lights out...that will regress a bit. Two games vs Milwaukee gonna take a bit out of you. And, 4 wins Total all yr vs .500 plus teams for the Spurs. I'll be looking for a good live number personally on Boston.

 

[B.A.R.]

if shuma isn’t in the c’s no one should be haha

True

 

[B.A.R.]

That's a bit more of a deficit than I'd like for a live play on Boston. I'd imagine this ridiculous shooting doesn't continue all game but now Boston is more than likely to pack it in unless a quick start to 3rd.

 

[pb278817]

Made their run. Then took 3 techs and that’ll do it

 

[B.A.R.]

Yeah, I saw them make that run...

Thing there since I am looking for a live ML is I can get the same price in the 4th down 4-5 as when they are down 7-9....so let the runs ride out.

Makes sense.. I dabble 3rd q line. Was looking good haha

[B.A.R.]

Bucks are officially bored I think. The rest of January could be a sleepwalk with really only three games to truly look forward to (Sixers Celtics and Nugs).

Jimmy buckets all about that "slug" life

 

[B.A.R.]

Clippers have the easiest remaining schedule of any team in the West.

 

[emkee]

Anybody see this shit with a butt-hurt Perkins.

How the hell does any media outlet pay this cat as an 'analyst' ???

 

[Ryno14]

I'm a sucker, but I played the Grizz tonight..

I'm a sucker, but I played the Grizz tonight..

Both teams been playing pretty well lately, and Grizz just did get destroyed by the Spurs not long ago, but I think JJJ stays out of foul trouble and Grizz pull off a big home W tonight.

 

[B.A.R.]

This is already our final Mavs-Lakers game...

They have split in L.A.

The first meeting was in Dallas and thats the game where Dallas blew alead late and the refs handed a 3 to Danny Green to force OT. Bron was beastly in the extra stanza...Mavs are much better now, imo....thank goodness for NBA fans this got flexed.

 

[B.A.R.]

I'm a sucker, but I played the Grizz tonight..

I think it is a very good play to be honest.

Good spot here.

 

[B.A.R.]

Dallas defense looking good.

 

[B.A.R.]

I'm a sucker, but I played the Grizz tonight..

Good work. I was able to free roll that at 80-68 for a a couple bucks. Such a fun team...

 

[pb278817]

Dallas defense looking good.

My lord. Had to turn it off was so bad. Almost as bad as Lukas fts

 

[pb278817]

Boban has 10 and 8 in 6 mins. McGee and Dwight go out with 5 fouls each. Put the big man in and see who covers him. He can’t be any worse on d then the rest of these bigs tonight

 

[B.A.R.]

Rick has a huge point there. That ball is inbounded.. you can't decide to review/call timeout then. Now, your coach gets ejected and they get 2 FTs ... Lotta garbage there.

 

[B.A.R.]

I'll eat a mushroom @~Utah if the Clippers can win by 6,7,8,9 or 10.

Do they win period?

 

[B.A.R.]

Do they win period?

No idea. I just grabbed a number in 2Q hoping to middle. I got off at the right time thankfully grabbing the +10.5. I'm not feeling them tonight.

RUHROE

 

[B.A.R.]

You all know I repeat it every year about January being the dog days but this is so especially true this year. There have just been some astounding results lately...

 

[B.A.R.]

Weird schedule right now for Utah... every other day from Jan 2nd to Jan 22nd.... 3 road in East Central TZ...2 home...3 road in East Central TZ. Grouped in there is 2 road games at Pelicans. If the Jazz win tonight I see the slip up at New Orleans.

 

[B.A.R.]

According to NBA expert @~Utah Zion's first game most likely the 22nd now.

Thoughts on svi?

 

[B.A.R.]

Thoughts on svi?

?

 

[B.A.R.]

Wild one out at Staples. Lakers were down 21 in 2nd...hit within 7 at half and back to 21 down in 3rd and back to 7 again.

Boston was resting Tatum which did not work well for Boston
