Again, so easy to hate the Wolves.

Raps on a 13-0 run to start the 2nd quarter. 18-0 run if you include the final minute of the 1st.
 
The Suns have WON STRAIGHT UP the L4 games that they were dogged by 8 or more this season. They are 5-3 SU and 7-1 ATS this season when they get 8 or more points.

fucking conspiracy theory over here, why the hell is this suns line moving like this. is the book on crack after the thunder lost to the lakers or something
 
I'm fighting the market and playing Phx. Especially after this:


  • Warriors coach Mark Jackson dropped a bit of a bombshell in his pre-game media session: All-Star guard Stephen Curry is fighting a minor strain in his right quad and will see limited minutes tonight and the foreseeable future. Curry will still start, as will Klay Thompson, who said he’s “feeling great” after playing just 6 minutes Friday against Atlanta due to a lower back strain.
  • Curry said he originally suffered the injury in Boston on Wednesday as the Warriors finished up a six-game road trip, and he had similar discomfort against the Hawks. The problem isn’t debilitating because he uses his left leg much more often to initiate explosive movements, but it gets worse as minutes pile up on a given night. An MRI scan performed Saturday revealed the strain. “It wasn’t an impact thing,” Curry said. “Thankfully, it’s not a big part of my muscle. I’m able to play, but I don’t want it to get worse. . . . It’s good that we know, so we can manage it, have that communication between me and coach and the training staff as this next week goes on and just see how it goes.”
 
bet some on the ML too bro - book lost their ass on Thunder today and are fucking with the line

I got 3 hundo on the points and 2hundred on the ML..
 
david lee in foul trouble is not good for GS - he has 12, their leading scorer at this point, with the next closest warrior with only 7 points
 
01/27/14 Toronto L 103-104 L -4 O 190.5
01/26/14 @ Boston W 85-79 W -4.5 U 191
01/24/14 Dallas W 107-106 L -2 O 200

Somehow similar situation last time they met Brooklyn lost by 1 and 113 points scored in the 1st half, but the previous game was away adn Toronto was coming with one day rest.
 
Blazers/Rockets total looking like they are begging for over money- past games have totaled 239, 215, 217 and the line comes out 214.5. Howard with an emphasis on defense after the Pacers game, scored 112 but were shooting the lights out. Under worth a look here but it's a scary one no doubt


Scary=loss in ot:stretcher:
 
What does one have to do with the other?

seriously though man i really think the books thought phoenix was going to win, they could have had a shitload more action on the suns if they had moved the line in their favor after the curry news
 
suns have sucked on the road though

I just cashed a ticket that disagrees. Suns hit a wall. Plumlee was a clear negative and Bledsoe who was the second best player on the team was out forever. It just got hard. well Plumlee is no longer essential and Green has improved a lot because of Bledsoe's absence. When Bledsoe comes back Wednesday or sooner there is real potential for the team to improve.
 
Indiana first 5 scored 90 points. The bench scored 4 points.
The game before the bench scored 41 and the starters 45.
Staying away from this team is advised
 
ESPN research:

The Pacers' season-high 4-game losing streak can be attributed to a dropoff in what had been the team's strength all season long: its defense. Indiana is giving up about 15 more points a game, and opponents are shooting significantly better from 3-point range.
