holy crap, the Orl/Mia game is OTB, but after I capped this game, I just came in my pants...How does Orlando not destroy the Heat in this spot????

Pretty much agree. Originally planned on playing the Heat, but that was based on the fact that I thought the Magic would beat the C's. At this point I'm sure that I can't bet against Orlando. Heat will be w/out Marion as well.

MIL conceded a season high 99+ pts in 6 straight games.

SAC conceded a season high 110+ pts in 5 straight games.

Intend to play Washington. That's pretty much certain. Whats happening to the number? Wait to get better or take the 11?
Maybe I should talk some about the play. If you examine the Bucks loss and the Toronto loss at Portland I think they were both great set ups for Portland. Do not see this as good at all. See this as a great spot for Washington. Will do a write up later but quick question will the number go up or down?
Just went 1 unit on Washington plus 11. Intend to go for 2 units here. Input on now or later? Anyone?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Por at home off a home loss - I'd be suprised if it went down.

 

[tuck321]

Ok, will wait on the rest. This actually looks very tasty. Forget the days rest bs. Washington has been getting very good results with 1 days rest recently. Portland is just Not playing good. Free throw shooting is off. 3's not so good recently. Roy just is not really producing and Outlaw is having problems too. Their next game is at the Clippers which oddly enough is a big look ahead. Most of Washingtons history vs the Northwest just scream for a play here. I remarked in my thread the other day how promising their 4th quarter was vs the Lakers. Look at both games vs Cleveland and the last one vs Orlando where they lost by 9. Washington has actually been having some nice game recently in these spots and they are operating on extended revenge.
Thing is if you look at the games portlands wins vs Toronto and the Bucks really are phony set ups. This Is NOT.

 

[linewatcher]

tuck, what's your thoughts on orl/mia?

 

[tuck321]

Not there yet. Just looked at 2 games. Utah really in a must win and really want to win so will be playing them game and first half equally and Washington. Hopefully some of you have read my breakdown on Utah at home in the first half. Very Very strong first halfs for some time and you know Cleveland will be resting LeBron tomorrow for the second half.

I doubt it will go down, but not sure if it goes up by more than 0.5 points as well. I think this is a decent line for the public. Portland to win by DD, but not crush the opponent makes sense to the public. If Portland would have won Cleveland, would be playing it as well, but with that loss, not sure if Wizards got value. Good Luck!

[tuck321]

Played Bucks minus 7 and a half unit bet on Heat plus 7.5. Briefly would not be shocked to lose with the Heat but think the negative impact of the Boston losses greater on Orlando than the Heat. Orlando can not function without a quality point guard. Not convinced they have one today. Bucks play is simple. I think they win the game and when they win they have only 1 non cover this year. Kings have won first game of a b-b once this year. We all do remember what happened to Dallas right GL

 

[tuck321]

Running off the game bet and just taking the first half. Okur?
