[divol]

Updated the lines...

If Durant sits, love the Under in Dallas.

 

[BJPLAYER]

hit em pretty good yesterday

tor-2 will be my big play...i know b2b at elevation but favorable matchup and tor in good form yesterday

okc rolling right now....their d will limit dall i think and they have enough o without kevin to win

knicks keep covering and now getting 12.5....must be hard work because they just don't look very good to me

suns -4.5 but i get lal wrong about as much as i do cleve....which is just about every time

 

[BJPLAYER]

Updated the lines...

i actually like it regardless of durant status...okc more committed to d right now than anyone,they need to keep winning and won't take dall lightly,very seriously actually....not sure where this commitment to d has come from but with it okc becomes so much better of a team....way better imo

 

[BJPLAYER]

spurs 3-8 last 11....hou today then mem....they gotta win one of them don't they?

 

[tuck321]

Why. The last time the Spurs won a game was with Parker who is out. Houston is much healthier, better rested and should be the listed favorite.

 

[tuck321]

Looks like a fairly terrible spot for Cleveland. Based on refs, rest and Cleveland injuries plus some trends I am looking at. I have heard this opened at 11.5. Not sure that is true but currently 7.5
Take a look

 

[CASH]

Over 202 Cavs - large

Looking for a Westbrook prop, rondo "defense" will be exposed

 

[tuck321]

Maybe. I was thinking about under based on the Sunday trend but Detroit on the road on Sunday is a huge over--? Just decided to duck the issue.
No idea what to say about Suns at LA. Suns in good form in many ways, good day of week and have 2 very tough games coming up. Len is simply on fire. That said I was not surprised to hear a rested Kobe would be playing. Lakers last 2 home games they beat GS and lost by 1 to OKC and they certainly should hate the Suns who are not fond of Kobe. I hope the Suns win but currently not sure what to expect here.

 

[divol]

I like Under in Dallas and Over in Cleveland

Oklahoma is all about defense and Dallas with Rondo should start improving their defense sooner or later.

SVG will play faster pace, now with smaller line up and Cleveland I think is almost forced to play small ball, since playing big, against Monroe and Drummond won't help...

Don't know who told you the opener was 11', but I'm showing the game opened at 9, it looks like Irving is doubtful which may have something to do with the move. I'm with you on the Pistons, I took 8, GL

 

[tuck321]

Based on the odds, Spurs are the play. Houston as a road favorite in SA is a joke.

Please explain why you think this. Pops made a decision to keep his team from last year intact. Normally when you have a lot of older players you bring in some fresh players. Houston has beaten them 6 in a row. Parker is out and they have won 3 of their last 10 games. Spotting Houston better rest here seem unlucky. Why is it a joke. I am all ears. Just give me reasoning.

 

[tuck321]

In a good mood actually. 3-0 in NFL. 1-0 in college. Had Detroit for game here and first half so one has cashed. I am seeing Knicks pushed hard today. Won with them yesterday but a little unclear here although with Portlands Lopez and Aldridge out its possible. In any event if I join that it will be after I see line ups.

Hey Tuck...I agree with you. I like Rockets today. Spurs are not the "Spurs" that have been great all these years, they are breaking down before our eyes. Plus, HOU is very good on road - 11-2 on the road.

FYI - Josh Smith will start. He played mostly with starters throughout the last game vs. MEM. anyway.
Also, Patty Mills will suit up and could play.

No Aldridge for Blazers and no Dalembert for Knicks. I lean over with no shot blockers in the game.

No ---

would have to look at the over 43.5 and rebounds and assists.. this one i would play large (reb and assists) the other medium..

 

[paradox]

I'm on OKC. No Tyson means no rim protection whatsoever. And Westbrook will have his way against Rondo, which i consider to be overated defense wise.

 

[hugh613]

Hard to believe the Thunder scored 58 with Westbrook shooting 2-10...

 

[CASH]

Should know better , 3rd qtr an issue for mavs....

Large would have hit already...

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Cavs are a joke

 

[tuck321]

Dallas game was interesting. Dallas coach minus his center played a super fast 3 guard scheme. Rondo, Ellis and Barea. All 3 real speedsters. OKC is used to being the fast team but not against those 3 and OKC never recovered.

 

[tuck321]

The reduction to a 9 man line up is really helping the Suns. Only 13 turnovers and 10 more rebounds. Lakers made it easier with 55% free throws. Pelicans will be a more real opponent but I will probably back the Suns

 

[play ball]

Based on the odds, Spurs are the play. Houston as a road favorite in SA is a joke.

Good call on Spurs. HOU did themselves no favors with the 25 turnovers, plus 2 early fouls on Harden. Patty Mills provided a spark as well.
