love clippers and the over in indiana...don t care they just played ot..

Orlando might be a play to....they are playing greate ball lately..
 
im liking the magic, but no available to play.

I couldnt resist the Cavs either... bought down to 6.5 but like the spot and the fact the starters rested the 4th tonight.
 
Two plays I really like on Saturday. Wizards with the line and Pacers ML. With 8.5 line, it means we will get 4.5 - 4.7 odds on Pacers ML. Pacers are very unstable and Orlando without two of their guards and they won't go on such a hot streak too long I believe.
Without checking schedule spots and anything else, both plays just jump out.
 
you should take a peak at the schedule

pacers 4/5 and B2B, i guess you can say ORL is looking ahead to playing @ BOS in 2 days.., 3/4 situation for ORL
 
Indy blew that huge lead at home vs ORL and fell by two . Both teams in crap spots as Orlando just finished a 5 in 7 span so this 6th game in 9 days . With lack of depth having to catch up to them at some point . Like Indy plus the points IMO .....
 
Nuggets thin at Forward & center from what I recall . Also think they have dealt with at tough schedule . Think some of these teams will sort hit the wall for the 1st time with the travel an dfew off days recently . No lean just a comment
 
This card reeks of trap games. Likely to go easy with this one.


Anybody want to guess a total in NY? Think we might see our first 230 line myself.
 
i wonder what dallas' frame of mind is after that game tonight...

guess Howard may return for tonight?

My take is that Dallas is basically fool's good . If they dont get hot from 3 late with Kidd and Terry they get blown out the building down the stretch . LAL was getting it to 7-9 points and Dallas would hit a three and this continued for awhile. Those 3's dont go in and its LAL by 15-20 pts .

This has been Dallas all season though with or without Josh Howard . They have blown so many games after the half I would say this is somewhere in the 6-8x range of times where this happened already (just a guess ). Hasnt really bothered them before .

Lakers are just scary as they go through the motions and when they need to just turn it up and go these crazy runs . If the opponent goes ice cold it gets ugly . Thats what has been the case from what I recall when LAL loses ATS at home Bulls , Kings , etc all made shots when that critical point occurred . The ones that didnt got smoked .

Mavs were desperate and strung some wins together but I just dont see how they are any different now then the team that finished and faltered down the stretch last year after the deadline.....

:shake:

 
Over in Orlando, Denver ML or -4 (probably ML), Pacers with the line and ML and Wizards -1, are my choices for tonight (maybe will add more later). The write ups are in my thread. Haven't placed any bets yet, but would like to read your thoughts on the picks. I can't see my self changing the picks, but the units I'm not sure off for each bet, so hope to see your thoughts on the picks above.

I watched 90 % of that game last night, and your exactly right. IMHO no one can even compete with the lakers right now. They have so many weapons, can go 10 deep, and when they decide to play defense they cant be stopped in transition. We may see our them get o 70 wins this year.
 
thanks for the input SN/marlo

i dont know if anyone else is paying attention to the total in cle/mil but that thing started at 196.5, dropped to 194.5, up to 197.5 and now back to 195.5. wonder whats going on but maybe im just paying too much attention to it?

why under is what i want to know.

cle playing 4/5 but starters got rest in 2 out of 3 so far
mil had a difficult stretch of games, plenty of the road
both have a 3 day break

but that can't be it...
 
It's diving again Renew. haven't looked at the game so no thoughts


No Pietrus for the magic and no Duhon for the Knicks today
 
Kaman questionable, TMac gametime decision, Charlie V likely out, and

Michael Redd is likely back today.
 
nate robinson says he is going to try and play today, dantoni said he doesnt think he can.

i'm surprised that opened as a PK. I also think 226 might be low for a total.

#1 and 2 paced teams in the leage with the 4th and 5th worse defenses.

Warriors totals last year vs Phoenix were

229 (scored 243)
234.5 (238)
237 (238)
230.5 (238)

Obviously the Warriors offense isn't as good at this moment as they were last year and the Knicks are no Phoenix Suns, but neither defense is nearly as good as last year's teams either. I think this might actually sail over.
 
its already dropped to 224.5

Knicks about 8 deep right now


also looks like the Cavs/Bucks total is on the rise again, that thing is killin me
 
Ya I started watching that Cavs total and it's going everywhere. Only worry about the over is a blowout which cost me last night with the Cavs. I don't see one here though. Notice the Bucks defense the last two games w/out Bogut controlling the paint. Redd being back isn't what I'd want though for the over as it'll take some time to adjust to him.

I was not happy at all with the Warriors 2Q and 3Q
 
I saw kaman as being questionable earlier. Not like they don't have enough big bodies down there w/out him .
 
he was questionable before too....maybe he wont play for sure....

i don t really care if he plays.....i like zack better...


i just hope it s not somebody else
 
i read joe johnson might be out in atlanta.....any info? i liked washington before...but if this guy is out i ll like them even more
 
nop....:)).....was thinking of playing them 1rst half

they're actually a lot better 1st half team on the road suprisingly. if the game was in boston and i was looking at a 12 point spread i would have already played them 1st half.


thanks renew, but i think i'm going to need more than that. here is my thinking:

Boston is just rolling along doing whatever they want. They could certainly win this game by 20+, but do they really care to? They beat them by 23 in Charlotte last year as revenge for losing at home to the Bobcats, but otherwise Charlotte covered the other 3. The biggest piece of the puzzle is that Boston plays Orlando in two days at home and that provides a nice challenge as they are a division leader and the third best team in the east record wise. Beyond that they lost to the Magic 2 out of 3 times last year. Just don't see any reason Boston does anything more than getting a win and going home.

yea i hadnt really looked much into it at all but saw theyd be playing ORL in a couple of days. I just wonder how JRich will play tonight, 2nd game back
