Would it be cheating to parlay the Suns, Bobcats and Orlando ml and sleep soundly. Orlando has won 8 straight at home on Saturday covering the last 7. Indiana is 4-16 last 20 on the road and the 4 wins were mostly bad and since their heart broke today I am not sure they have a pulse tomorrow. Suns Washington might be close but i trust the Suns. They have a good chance of winning that game.

Have to look at the Bulls and Memphis right off the bat . Boston off the big OT win vs Miami shorthanded and now just one a tough payback game in SAS . Memphis just went ice cold and NOH pulled away last 6 minutes . Bulls beat the Celts then won on the road . The road win might be more cause for a letdown then beating Boston ! LAL is just not impressive to anyone and while they just may be going through the motions think Bulls are getting on the right track...

Probably some interest in a hot Atlanta team and maybe the over..

Knicks set everyone up for a ML win upset ! Knicks just lose the game they should win and seem to be winning games we didnt expect them to ...

Pacers layed okay today and Char coming back from TOR thats a long ass trip for a B2B so take the points when they come out

Suns bench thin but Wash away seems to be automatic DD loss so curious to see what the line is thinking 11...

Bucks could be live as Portland playing 5th in 7 days away I believe and Milw starting a road trip but off a brutal game vs ORL . Under anyone ?

The Knicks are doing the same thing Boston did down the stretch the season before they picked up the big 3. Performing on the road, and shitting bricks at home.

I guess posting again here has given me good luck... Thanks Charlotte! LOL.

Any status on Al Harrington? Thinking about playing the Magic here.. Knicks have been blown away twice already and looks tired the past 2 games. Maybe it's fatigue since it's their first taste of the D'Antoni offense. Refs are 13-5 ATS combined with a line of 10+ for the home faves.

Leaning ATL here since CLE aren't covering lately while ATL is hot although it's because of the homestand. Refs are combined 11-23 ATS for home faves of 5-9.5

 

[Master P]

a different handicapping style, correct me if im wrong but we might have a "wounded bear"

the knicks

-7 vs NJ (L)
-9.5 v SAC (L)
+12 vs ORL (?)

The Pacer team did play ok. The manager lost the game allowing Granger to play 41.11 minutes and take 26 shots making 8 while the other 4 starters went 15 of 28. He took 2 less shots than the other 4 combined. you are supposed to average a point a shot and with him they got 18 points on 26 shots and lost a close game. Would normally think of them as a dog myself off a home loss but against Philadelphia and Atlanta the last 2 times this situation came up they did fine in the first half and then just died. Memphis and Atlanta are both real posibilities. Knicks may come out like tigers at Orlando but they no longer have any realistic hope for the playoffs and i doubt they end well. if Hearington does not play chances really seem bleak for them.
The Bucks? Last 3 games they have lost their offense. No idea where or why but they seem very hard to figure out now.
Jack and Ford had to be pulled apart last night in the third. Jack was kept out the rest of the game but will play tonight while Ford came back about 8 minutes in the fourth which explains some of the odd box scores.

Celtics 8-2 under away b-b this year. Both teams extremely tired.

 

[tuck321]

Last 10 home games, if you play the Bucks for the game they are 4-6 su and 3-7 ats. Play them in the first half and they are 8-2 ats. You needed the points (1.5 was fine) with Boston and NO. You lost with Denver and Orlando. ML worked on the other six when you were the dog.

Been looking myself but can't seem to get any info on his status

Larry Hughes. Is there a more over-rated piece of shit in the league? When's the last time this fucker has had a shooting night over 50%? He an awful shooter. He brings nothing to the table for the Knicks.
