[tuck321]

I am going to say RIGHT NOW. Chalk players GS will very likely win today.

 

[tuck321]

Personal plays? have not checked refs or looked at trends but Chicago finishes with a game at Brooklyn who beat them at Chicago by 14 and then Atlanta who beat them in Chicago by 8. Philadelphia has been crushed by injuries and the endless losing and can be had easily. Lean Philadelphia Utah is 19-3 revenging a home loss and are getting 6 from a paper thin Portland team and I imagine I play them especially as they are still playing with better rest then Portland. GS is healthy and finding it harder and harder to focus on the remaining meaningless games. Lean Wolves.

 

[divol]

Agree with you about Utah. Utah play strong when they can and never liked Portland as division rivals. Portland's regular season is over, since they won't go up or down probably in standings.

Gonna assume you meant cover.....

Looking at LAC myself. 11-1 L12, although 3 wins vs similar class. 3 days rest for LAC, a spot that has them at 9-2 SU, with an AMOV of 14.9 pts. Grizzlies just 9-6 over last 15, will be playing B2B, 3/4 where they are 11-8 SU on the season (2-5 ATS since Feb 1) w/ an AMOV of -1.3. Played last night w/out Conley and Tony Allen again. All starters played 35+ mins, and were a Gordon Hayward free throw from going to overtime. Season looks to be wearing on this team as they posted only 16 pts in the 4th last night, 7.5 pts below their 4th qtr season. Watching the game, it was a game they should have lost. The calls were not going their way, the crowd was on them, they were missing their floor general, but they won, because they may be the most mentality tough team in the league. I made LAC 8.5, so I missed my number, but a 3rd quarter play on LAC is a consideration, and if I can watch this one, there may be in game value or value in the second half.

[smh212]

L.A. is going to miss for Portland tonight.

 

[tuck321]

Blazers edge does not like Portlands chances. I may drop Philadelphia. Injuries have really hurt this team

 

[tuck321]

My Warrior blog is estimating a 15 point win. GS used a lot of energy last game and is looking forward to pounding Memphis and have beaten Minn 9 of last 10 times. In addition to a straight bet on Utah I have bought a 6 point teaser getting 12 and 25.5 which should be a claim. Philadelphia--is 2-7 ATS on 2 days rest this season

 

[emkee]

Quirky trend this season...

Teams are 10-1 ATS on 0 day's rest after playing at Utah.

 

[smh212]

Nerlens not going tonight, but the other side of that is the effort Chicago will put forth. They are going to look at the Sixers, see their are missing their best player, and take them lightly. If the game were in Philadelphia, I would be all over the Sixers. They give effort EVERY night, and that's not gonna change tonight.

 

[smh212]

Blazers still fighting for home court. I understand the line drop due to the LA injury, but, Utah last won a road against a team w/ a record over .500 on 3/3/15. Have to look deeper, but don't see the Utah love.

No Nerlens will mean no one at all to try n protect the rim vs. gibson, pau and Noah. Bulls should score at will. If they want to play

 

[smh212]

"If they want to play". That's the key. Yeah, Chicago should win, but when they pull their starters, the Sixers are gonna keep coming. Been doing it all year. IMO, point spread will be determined on the mindset of Chicago.

 

[tuck321]

Why has the spread moved up in the Clipper game?

 

[smh212]

Why has the spread moved up in the Clipper game?

Situation favors Clips BIG TIME, and I believe Conley confirmed out. That being said, I think 10 is too high.

From my previous post:

"Looking at LAC myself. 11-1 L12, although 3 wins vs similar class. 3 days rest for LAC, a spot that has them at 9-2 SU, with an AMOV of 14.9 pts. Grizzlies just 9-6 over last 15, will be playing B2B, 3/4 where they are 11-8 SU on the season (2-5 ATS since Feb 1) w/ an AMOV of -1.3. Played last night w/out Conley and Tony Allen again.

Unless, there is yet another injury or report we are missing, I think 10 is too high.

 

[smh212]

More I read, more I like Utah and under.

Previous post didn't work:

More on the Utah/Port game:

Mike Rice ✔ @mikerice6 Quote from jazz. We will treat games ag blazers, Dallas,& Houston as playoff games. We have won 5 of last 7 & will end season fighting

Portland was not a deep team, Date Pos Player Injury Status 04/10/15 F LaMarcus Aldridge Foot expected to miss Saturday vs. Utah 04/10/15 G Arron Afflalo Shoulder expected to miss 1-2 weeks 04/02/15 F Dorell Wright Hand out for season 03/06/15 G Wesley Matthews Achilles out for season Now they are playing their 11th game without 2 days rest against a Utah team that is a very serious team.

 

[smh212]

I hear ya Tuck. I'm looking for pricing on Utah as we speak.

 

[CASH]

[CASH]

I urge all of you to look at the 2nd qtr scoring for Knicks/magic and respond with one word...

 

[CASH]

Hayward out
favors out

 

[CASH]

Conley now a gtd..

 

[smh212]

I cancelled by Jazz positions. All that shit they talked. Looking at the Griz if double digits remain available at any of my outs.

Cash - who is the source on Conley?

 

[smh212]

Ronald Tillery @CAGrizBeat Griz coach Dave Joerger says Mike Conley is a game-time decision tonight vs. Clippers

 

[emkee]

Bet he'll play. Grizz playing games lately.

 

[smh212]

Conley warming up. Even if he goes, good luck staying in front of CP3.

 

[CASH]

Now out

 

[smh212]

Ronald Tillery ‏<s>@</s>CAGrizBeat <small class="time"> 4m4 minutes ago </small> Mike Conley WON'T play vs Clippers but he's against shutting down until playoffs http://www.commercialappeal.com/sports/grizzlies/griz-morning-after-conley-against-shutting-down …

+14 yest. - +133 ytd

Clipps actually have a chance at the 2nd seed with a win tonight..(crazy but possible)
Making it triple over 102
gl everyone

 

[emkee]

Looking like the 'big game' version of the Clippers has shown up so far tonight, the one that shits the bed.

 

[emkee]

Really hate it when Blake acts like he can play the point. Dude sucks.

 

[smh212]

Looking like the 'big game' version of the Clippers has shown up so far tonight, the one that shits the bed.

He should take notes from Trevor Booker. Dude scored 19 in the 1st qtr!! This is becoming the Saturday vent thread...lol...so I'd like to give a shout out to Miles Leonard, the biggest piece of shit I've seen since Shawn Bradley.

Hope you hit Emkee.

Divol - stop slacking, I'm working on Sundays card...let's do this.

 

[emkee]

Smh...

:shake:

3rd in 4 and pace of the 1st half should show up in the Grizz' legs 2nd half. Gasol out as well. Don't mess it up Flippers.

 

[emkee]

Rivers such an overrated coach though, not sure he can adjust.

 

[CASH]

got to hope for ot for a chance..

 

[emkee]

Such a pathetic team. Doc should be paying KG, Pierce, and Ray a cut of his yearly Clippers' salary for making him relevant.

 

[emkee]

Theme this weekend is the refs deciding the spreads late.

 

[emkee]

Thanks Matt Barnes.
