Tough back to back road games for Heat.

I Agree with Wade playing 34 Min and Deng playing 41min My only question is who has the tie breaker if Boston wins because if I'm seeing this right if Boston Wins and Atlanta Wins and Boston owns the tie breaker between them and the heat that would drop the Heat to 5th and no Home court for the first round. Now if the Heat own the tie breaker then I can see Boston putting a hurt on the Heat.

 

[Paulie The Vig]

Looks like the Heat will give it a go

The Miami Heat will be seeded:

• No. 3 if the Heat win OR the Hawks lose
• No. 5 ifthe Heat andHornets lose AND the Hawks win
• No. 6 if the Heat lose AND the Hawks and Hornets win
  
  
  The Boston Celtics will be seeded:
  • No. 4 if the Celtics and Hawks win
  • No. 5 if the Celtics and Hornets lose OR the Celtics win and Hawks lose
  • No. 6 if the Celtics lose AND the Hornets win

Could someone do a query on Cleveland on the road vs lefties in MLB?

Could someone do a query on Cleveland on the road vs lefties in MLB?

I bet they suck. Their line-up hasn't been built to face a good left-hander in 10+ years. They did have a year that they got to Sale a couple times, think it was either 2013 or 2014. Price and Moore shut them down so far this year (Price was in Cleveland), and the Tribe did hit Danks, but who doesn't?

However, I suspect when the dust settles, the Indians will hit lefties marginally better than last year. Lindor hits them, he's a relatively new presence in the top of the line-up. And Napoli, journeyman that he is, is probably the best RH middle-of-the-order hitter they've put in there in several years. Old guys Raj, Byrd, and Uribe are all playing a lot right now for better or worse while some guys heal, they all swing from the RH side. So the line-up is not quite as lopsided.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Oops, wrong thread, but tuck's fault.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Funny that the pistons are playing the Cavs tonight..... there is no reason for either of these teams to show each other anything

Barely recognizable line-ups probably. Lebron, Love, Kyrie, JR are out. Thompson probably a couple minutes to extend his game streak. Surely Detroit rests guys too.

Complex. I guess I keep an eye out on Mavericks/Spurs and if it seems clear the Mavericks win, bet on Trailblazers to cover the first half vs Nuggets. If Spurs looks like the winner, I bet Trailblazers/Nuggets Over...

Are you looking for W/L or stats?


I use this for stats

Have bookmarked it but for the
short term how many wins last 20

That I do not know. Gun to head, I'd say sub-500, but remember the Tribe can pitch a bit.

11-9 SU last 20.

1-3 SU in 2016.

 

[emkee]

11-9 SU last 20.

1-3 SU in 2016.

My bad, that was in general (home and away).

9-11 SU last 20 on the road vs lefties (1-2 SU in 2016).

 

[nbafan88]

bud may rest starters

kyrie is upgraded to probable

 

[nbafan88]

If boston wins and atlanta wins, the celtics would be in 4th place and have come court


wild

 

[emkee]

Can't understand why teams out of the race are 'resting' players. Show some f@#king pride.

so confusing

 

[emkee]

C's match-up better vs Charlotte regardless of what happened the other night.

 

[emkee]

Cavs vs Stons is gonna be such a fun series.

 

[cogenman]

better to just stay away tonight

 

[emkee]

Grizz can't afford even the slightest injury to anyone so not sure.

Bulls covered back in '96 to get win 72 against the Bullets.

Also Barkley needs to shut up, like the dude but come on man.

Dude's opinions carry no substance, talks for the sake of talking.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

BEAN +4 .5u

 

[nbafan88]

better to just stay away tonight

Yup. Tonight's a night to just sit back and enjoy

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Cavs vs Stons is gonna be such a fun series.

Fun in a sweepy sort of way.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

ESPN "BPI" seems wrong. They claim there is a 21% chance of this double result:

HOUS lose
Utah win

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Hate ppl using war analogies when talking about sports. Very sad remarks by Kobe high school coach

Go Miami.

so pumped for the playoffs.

Remember to not let the last week of the season influence your playoff wagers too much.

Or in the Cavs case, don't let the entire regular season do that.

 

[nbafan88]

Possibly.

The celtics apparently don't want Hca

 

[emkee]

League wants a Heat v Cavs ECF's.

Pretty sure everyone would love that lol

This heat team is built for playoff success.

 

[nbafan88]

Look at these scores holy shit. I think you're crazy if you bet on the grizz. Just sayin

 

[emkee]

Looking like Charlotte will be in Atlanta and the C's will be in South Beach when the playoffs start.

 

[emkee]

Agree. It's a mute point for the Grizz, play hard and lose or say 'fuck it', take it in the ass and get ready for the Spurs.

 

[Retburj13]

yup stevens taking his talents to south beach...think they can do it too

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I like that Celtics team. I'm also kind of hoping the Heat get bounced, Bron seems psyched out against Wade and those guys. In the regular season meetings anyway.

 

[hugh613]

I'm guessing the Lakers line is going to get pounded down with the Rockets set to clinch.

[Retburj13]

Wiz laying it on, comeback in boston and disney giving hornets a go


things just got interesting

 

[nbafan88]

If the wiz win the heat win the division anyway

 

[nbafan88]

This is wild

 

[Retburj13]

If the wiz win the heat win the division anyway

yes but if hornets lose, celts win then stevens parties in the ATL strip clubs no??

 

[nbafan88]

It's sad this Wizards team isn't in the playoffs

 

[nbafan88]

Wow Spurs came back too. They'll cover IMO.

 

[Retburj13]

It's sad this Wizards team isn't in the playoffs

blame walt wittman...with that talent, no reason they aint...injuries aside

 

[nbafan88]

Wait so Boston wins they get the third seed?
