[Eric8923]

Leaning Toronto, Miami, and Portland.

 

[divol]

Don't know about Portland. GSW and Kerr are not slowing down...

 

[byrd430]

Portland without Aldridge kaman and batum (all 3 doubtful).

Lean Miami so far.

 

[tuck321]

GS does sound good with those injuries to Portland. Lakers away on Tuesday 8-2 ATS and 5-0 ATS away on Tuesday this year are going to get a look. Pounding the Rock is calling for a 7 point win at Dallas.

 

[Eric8923]

Lakers as double digit dogs are something like 10-8-1 this season. OKC as double digit favorites are something like 1-7. Factor in their injures and dependence on Westbrook having a spectacular night each and every game and I'll take the Lakers +10 1/2.


Thanks for the input on Portland. Didn't check injuries yet.

What am I missing about Toronto only being a 2 point favorite to a shitty Detroit team?

 

[Eric8923]

The Bucks have been garbage since trading Knight. They're also in the middle of a slump, and theyre 1 1/2 games ahead of Miami for the 6th seed. Miami is looking to close that gap after coming off a tough loss to OKC. Miami is 6-4 in their last 10, Bucks are 2-8 last ten and have lost their last 6. I don't see that changing tonight. Heat are hoping to avoid seeing one of the top two teams in the East in the first round. I think they'd much rather face Toronto in the first round instead of a Lebron lead Cleveland.

Right now I'm on Lakers + 10 1/2, and Miami -1 1/2.

Monroe should be back tonight. Detroit won 3 of last 4. Toronto lost 8 of last 10 on road. Lowry could be back tho. Raptors recent road failures are my best guess at that line.

 

[divol]

Lakers are 9 - 9 this season as double digits dogs. Thunder are 3 - 5 (8 - 0 SU btw, while Lakers are 2 - 16 SU - so can be a good addition to any parlay).

 

[CASH]

Added kings

-13 last night +150 ytd

Expecting Lin to start for lakers
1st half over 105 - max
spurs 1h over 100.5 - xl
1h over 104.5 kings - max

 

[jimbof20]

Fading Golden State myself tonight

Monroe is out tonight

 

[byrd430]

Actually think Monroe being out is better for Detroit. They've been playing well lately.

 

[BJPLAYER]

based on current form i have to like the spurs tonight....they could easily be 12-0 last 12 with 2 ot losses....they made atl look disorganized the other day and dall looked apathetic at best against the suns barely moving in the first half and then coming back to take a lead and then relinquishing it and losing in the 4th....honestly i have not been good at predicting the spurs this year but this looks like a spurs win and maybe a pounding

 

[CASH]

Actually think Monroe being out is better for Detroit. They've been playing well lately.

And Jackson thinking he is Westbrook has helped them..

 

[Eric8923]

Fuck Reggie Jackson

 

[Eric8923]

Also the Thunder could be looking past the Lakers, as they play San Antonio tomorrow. San Antonio dismantled them in the playoffs last year, and OKC will be hoping to gauge themselves as a team tomorrow.

Of course pop will prob sit everyone and the game will be irrelevant.

3rd qtr spurs -.5 - xl
1st qtr over 50.5 - xxl

 

[BJPLAYER]

det been good second half team in recent games....they are better than their record and they usually give good effort...fwiw

i can understand the mia love based on mil recent form...horrible last 16 games...lost 6 in a row....giving up leads...etc....but it is still mia on the road against a better opponent laying points....maybe get involved at half but even then probably not

if recent form holds then spurs win easily....dall not right and appears lethargic....wonder if rondo is messing them up....he ran the c's o much better

watched lal the other night and even getting 9.5 it seems risky....okc 15-5 lately and westbrook can cover line by himself if he continues to dish....who knew

 

[barmeezee]

All over spurs dallas,total over

 

[emkee]

Kawhi plays the sexiest defense in the NBA. Kid is a fucking scholar on that side of the ball.

 

[BJPLAYER]

gsw playing 4 in 5....are they tired? Doubt it...Last night they cruised so probably not to beat up and coming off 6 games and a long stretch at home where they barely got challenged.....look ahead to sa tomorrow?....maybe

Portland on the other hand has lost 4 in a row on the road,have been on the road for 5 games and make a quick pit stop before going back out to play 2 more on the road....sucks for them....and they are playing a team that has a style that isn't designed to keep games close when they get rolling....something is nagging me that i am looking at this wrong so will keep thinking...

 

[hugh613]

Kawhi plays the sexiest defense in the NBA. Kid is a fucking scholar on that side of the ball.

Hurting them on offense though shooting 3/10.

 

[CASH]

Dirk looking real slow out there...

 

[CASH]

Will get fined for flopping.. Parsons

 

[emkee]

Hurting them on offense though shooting 3/10.

Yep. Offense looking like Kelly Clarkson.

he can still shoot though

 

[emkee]

Monta came to play tonight, unlike when I bet on him, smh...

 

[emkee]

Spurs 1-21 SU on the road when trailing by 10 after 3.

 

[emkee]

Pops gonna start playing for tomorrow. Ball game.

 

[Noles4life]

so root for GS win and take SA tomorrow......

 

[Noles4life]

whoops they play okc tom not gs

 

[barmeezee]

Is bar on portland

 

[Eric8923]

Horrible day yet again for me. I think I am done with gambling. I was on Lakers, Miami, and Spurs. Now on Portland.

Got Lakers +10 from my book. Push.
Spurs -2 1/2. They get smacked around by Dallas.
Miami -1. Get outscored 24-9 in the 4th, and lose by a 3 point buzzer beater.

 

[Eric8923]

I seriously can't make this shit up.

 

[Noles4life]

it will turn.. just watched end of heat game.... that was brutal... how beasley loss the tip to a fkin guad in bayless is beyond me

 

[Eric8923]

I know. They had multiple chances to seal the game in the final minute and choked. Oh well. Need Portland to cover to slow the bleeding.

 

[barmeezee]

i know the feeling man.. nothing wrong with taking a little break but to just quit all together will be tough cuz what will happen is you will take a step back and not bet but still look at the lines daily and quickly peruse the spreads without money on the games and youll end up picking constant winners. That has happened countless times to me . its crazy how good you run when ur not fuckin layin money on the games and just lookin at it objectively things become more obvious and it turns around

I laid the EXACT same goose egg. Except for me I had the entire thing teased 5 points as well to cover if I lose one game on the bubble. Lost that too. Horrible night on the books.

 

[emkee]

sorry dude, but when was road chalk ever a long term winning proposition?

Not true. Road chalk has a better ATS winning percentage than home chalk the past 15 seasons.

 

[divol]

I looked since 10/11 season and away favorites covered 52.6% of the time, while home favorites covered only 49.3% of time.
