NBA 'Super Situation' for the upcoming 2024-2025 Season...

[wizardofodd]

my book opened at 5

Same…

Yep, I'm seeing 5's at most places. Some even down to 4.5 already.

Bummer.

Guess those 6.5s were gold last night.

 

[B.A.R.]

Detroit 6 -110

Play the units you're comfortable with.

Bottom line is this.

Basically this is stop #7 on the road trip for Cleveland.

Detroit is on a relatively rested homestand.

No Cade, but they have been winning lately without him (albeit vs bad teams).

Trust the system.

Agree...I locked them in at 5.

Good luck BAR, will be with you on it.

Sounds good.

I'd grab 6 now.

I see some Twitter people realizing this situation so watch the line drop a bit (perhaps).

Cavs looking sleepy in the second half. Hard to imagine they can turn it around when back home on Sunday vs the clippers too.

 

[wizardofodd]

Well done BAR! Two days, +5 yesterday and +10 today

Thanks!

Exactly with a matinee

Nice!!

 

[B.A.R.]

Glad we could sweep this like the old days!

This was the truest "super situation" we've had in a few years at minimum.

Worked perfectly...

AS a situational purist, this one feels GREAT.

Mise well examine that matinee on Sunday as well.

 

[B.A.R.]

You know the deal with this... they rarely schedule these anymore but through my initial schedule capping I have located one....

For those wondering, this is the deal...

A team hits the road for a 5+ game road trip with all the other games in the other conference.

Said team then has one day off after the last game before their first home game of the trip.

Immediately after that home game, they once again hit the road on a B2B for a road game.

The thinking here is the players arrive back home and have little time to reacclimate. By the time that b2b road games hits, they are ready to pack things in.

Using the 5-game trip as an example -- you basically turn that home game into another 'stop' on the trip, In essence, this will be a 7-game trip.

Yes, you could use this on a 4-game trip, but for the full 'Super Situation' you need 5+ games.

I started tracking this back the winter before CTG while still at blankets. The next season I believe we won all but one of our bets (Nash-led Suns were a nemesis that year).

What do you bet here? You can bet that home game AND the next. You can simply bet on the second one. My philosophy for years was to go 1x and then 2x in that order. As we are closer to this trip we can examine all the intangibles to lay out a better plan.

We have 6 months till this happens, but mark this in your calendars now!



Team: The Cleveland Cavaliers

The Trip:

Tuesday, March 18th @ LA Clippers
Wednesday, March 19th @ Sacramento
Friday, March 21st @ Phoenix
Sunday, March 23rd @ Utah
Tuesday, March 25fh @ Portland
Thursday, March 27th vs San Antonio
Friday, March 28th @ Detroit

(games we are betting are italicized)


* One more note here -- before this trip starts the Cavs have a road game on the Friday before and then a home game on Sunday -- they will be tired

This was the very first post in the thread.

One of the best ones in years. Really glad to see some old-timers in here cashing on this.

Hopefully the NBA gives us a few shots next year. I truly thought this was all but dead.

Situational capping at it's best. Great work Reno.

Seeing -8 for tomorrow’s matinee for Cavs back home vs. the Clips. We know the ‘situation’ but a wrinkle here is that this will be a revenge game for the Cavs who, just 11 days ago, March 18th, were -3 on the road in LA to the Clippers and lost 132-119.

That's a very good point.

I had some live action in that one...

Cavs stunk it up in the 4th.

 

[B.A.R.]

Matinee but 3:30 eastern. Cavs got home I'm guessing 3-4 am on Friday.

I'd assume they had Saturday off? I can't find that info.


No Jerome and no Kawhi .

Multiple key players out are out for Cleveland Cavaliers and LA Clippers

Cavs and Clippers are shorthanded.

Leonard is apparently available Monday in Orlando.

Interesting decision to rest him vs Cleveland instead.

 

[KJ]

Don't eat mushrooms and all good lads

 

[B.A.R.]

I'm going to sleep on it, but I'll entertain a Clippers bet.

That's a lot of points, still.

Cleveland needs consecutive days off to get back into normal mode.

Very small play if so, though..

 

[consilience]

Didn’t play this game. Will likely grab clips at HT depending on circumstances

The last time #Cavs played two consecutive games in the same city: Feb. 23. If that seems outrageous it’s because it is.

I’ll bite at HT, +150 moneyline on the Clips.

The clippers could fuck up a one car funeral. I hate this team.

But they did cover the game spread.

I get it though.

I need them to finish 6-2 for my "live" RSW bet
