Thanks pal, and thanks for the tennis last night. Damn Lakers struggled again today, what was Pau doing?
I actually live in the one and only amazing Perth city. I'm actually a stone cold Dockers fan but I also support the Suns - I lived on the Coast for a couple years and have family there that I visit regularly. Gary is just an idol, greatest of all time to me and brings me luck.
Nice I made alot of money on the dockers this season, they were just about my most profitable team for the season, everyone under-rated them especially at the beginning of the year, expecting big things from your lads next year. I'm a Swans fan myself so life is great haha.

Well what a day. Thunder came out flat as hell but got within striking distance and let one of the best closers in the NBA today go to work. Unfortunately Durant was a slow starter today, is it just me or is he not getting enough ball on the offense? The only criticism i've had of Durant is he doesn't demand the ball enough. He did in the 4th today but that's because they needed to be bailed out.
Portland shocked me, I thought they would be much better than they were. Clippers depth proving to be a force and they should dominate any team with a poor bench like Portland.
At least we cashed a unit today!

Back to it. Here are some words thrown together about the games tomorrow, please feel free to comment/disagree/banter/rebut
Leans/Writeups/Ramblings/Thoughts
Bucks (-3) Vs Wizards - Most likely a no play for me. Bucks got embarrassed by the Grizz, especially Ellis he got absolutely clowned on. I have no doubt Ellis/Jennings fire here but against a desperate Wizards team who are dogs at home I'm not too confident. Could easily see the Bucks cover here but again I can see the Wizards keeping it close and possibly pulling their first win.
Nets (-2.5) vs Magic - Love the Nets here this will probably be a play for me and will be locked in soon. Brooklyn after getting destroyed by the defending champs will be looking to show the world they are still a playoffs side with a decisive win over a Magic team that in my eyes has been over performing. Magic showed their colours getting rolled by the TWolves who are another side I don't think are very good. Nets have the weapons here to crush the Magic.
Knicks (-6) vs Mavs - Knicks at home, where they are lights out. Momentum/buzz running rampant at MSG I can see the Knicks comfortably covering this spread. The Mavs have been playing well but towards the end of the 4th against the Raptors they were showing bad signs. I hope the Knicks stay red hot, I am most likely going to take them ATS until Amare is back.
Celtics vs Sixers - No play for me. Don't really enjoy the Sixers defense right now and am unsure about the Celtics. Celtics fade the following day is the play though.
Miami vs hawks - No interest in this game either.
Pacers +2 vs Twolves - Another game that looks too easy, the Twolves coming off a huge win vs the Magic hosting the Pacers who got their heart ripped out of them in ATL the other day. Pacers will be angry and focused for this game, they will get a big lead and will not give it up. I like the Pacers without Granger, more shots for guys like Hill/George. Twolves out of their element in this game.
Pistons v OKC - Big spread, no interest in this game. Lean Kevin Durant Over Points whatever..
Rockets v Grizz - Not too much interest either, I love fading the Rockets. Grizz have great defenders on the perimeter and could cause damage to Lin (via steals) and lock down Harden. Randolph/Gasol are finding their rhythm and look great, they should dominate the bigs of Houston who are pretty average. Asik again is a hustler but will struggle to score. Grizz -7 doesn't seem too bad but it is a lot of points. Also regardless of their defenders Harden could just have one of those games. He's been quiet for back to back games now.
Hornets v Bobcats - hate the Bobcats with a passion but they seem value here, Hornets are not as good as everyone thinks.
Cavs v Suns - No play for me. Suns are a hot and cold team and Cavs are still young cant predict their play.
Spurs v Kings - Love the Kings here, game might get to +7 if we're lucky, will make a play on it. Kings played the Spurs quite well last season. Regardless of their record I think individually the player have grown. Will need to hit some big shots though to not allow the Spurs to get away.
Lakers v Warriors - Not touching Laker games.
Nuggets (-4.5) vs Jazz - Jazz diff team away from home. Denver finding themselves finally, I think they absolutely roll here. They are a top 4 team in the West believe me, far too deep at every spot. Lock down defender in Iggy and are just offensive beasts, with many play makers and shot makers. I think they will be too much for the Jazz here, Faried is having a great couple of days and Lawson is finally finding his shot after an average start to the season. Jefferson will be matched with lots of different guys which could put him out of rhythm and when he's off the court the Denver bigs will go off. Denver -4.5 and half time line for me.
Interesting plays mate. Still working on mine but got heavy leans to Denver & Brooklyn ATS as well. Bob-kitty's play is ballsy - I like it.

Thanks man, I'm on your tennis plays so fingers crossed Berdych gets it together. Like the Bobcats simply due to the line, Hornets aren't that good...Good luck with your plays will be checking to see what your on!

hey pal, just briefly sum up my thinking for that game -> kings have been close many times at winning games against good sides -> most recently last week against the breakers...i felt that the hawks are overrated and their record doesn't reflect them, perfect spot for them to lose after blowing out the wildcats...sydney played hawks earlier this year and should have won, out rebounded them - i knew if the kings out rebounded them this time around they'd win and they did

Yeah me too mate, had 1x on the Pacer's m/l and had given up on the game until Hill got all cold blooded at the end, so I minimised all the games I had running and chucked up the full screen in time to see that almost hilarious defensive sequence where Budinger cruises into the lane from half court un-checked for the wide open lay-up. Classic.

Another profitable day. Bobcats I felt were still the play here, they were keeping it close then lost the handle on the game at the end to lose the cover by a point. Knicks were great, going to keep taking them ATS till Amare is back, Pacers were really poor lucky to push there. Nets were flawless really happy about my pick there. Denver finding their rhythm now and look deadly, so deep.

Hey guys just got home, I really don't like this card but ill give you my thoughts anyway, maybe it can help you make some plays. I only really like a couple games.
76ers @ Raptors - Seems like a no brainer but the Sixers are in a bad spot here coming off a huge win over conference rival Boston and face a Raptors team that are hungry for wins in front of their home crowd. Although Lowry is missing don't sleep on Calderon who will be playing for minutes. I really dislike this game and I see no direct angle on the line.
Wizards @ Pacers - If I had to play a line here it would be Pacers -8, why? Pacers have now had back to back heart breaking losses in games where they under performed. I think their frustration will be taken out on a lowly Wizards team who don't offer too much. The reason why i'm not playing this is because the Pacers are not the team I thought they were and I think i'll have to give them some time to find themselves again. I really thought they would turn a page from their performances in the finals last season vs Miami however they seem to be going backwards.
Mavs @ Bobcats - Bobcats played really well in NO but faltered towards the end. The Mav's although getting blown out by Miami in the 4th shouldn't be too concerend. Mayo is red hot and Kaman is finding buckets, I think the Mavs will win here but I'm not confident they cover the spread.
Wolves @ Bulls - Bulls had a lot to think about after blowing the game against OKC, I think they come out here and destroy the Wolves. The TWolves had a great win at home against the Pacers but for me the fall in the same category as Magic...a team that is getting miraculous wins and getting over valued but they are actually a horrible side. I think the Bulls demolish the Wolves here. Deng has been firing and Hamilton will cause lots of issues for the Wolves who have no lock down perimeter defenders...
Boston @ Bucks - Love the Bucks here, i'm a bit concerned that lots of "sharps" like the Celts especially GoatMilk who has been red hot but I cannot take the Boston Celtics here. It sucks they lost yesterday but I still think the Bucks are the play here, sure there is the revenge factor for Boston but I think the Bucks will play hard here and notch a win. Celtics ATS on a b2b is just a horrible record and with a loss already to the Bucks I don't see why it won't happen again. Ilyasova will be the difference maker.
Suns @ Utah - Utah are a different team at home, they are very solid. If the Suns play like they did against the Cavs you can bet your dollars that Utah will not give up a 20 point lead. I like Utah here, although Mo most likely might miss this game Utah have always been about their bigs and I think they get it done and cover the spread and win by double digits.
Spurs @ Portland - A tricky game simply because Portland will want to have a bounce back game after an embarrassing home performance thursday night vs the Clips. Lillard again has a chance to shine vs an elite point guard, however I think the Spurs machine rolls on here - much like the Clippers the Spurs are deep and one of my favourite match ups to bet on is teams with bad benches vs teams with deep benches. Those minutes where the starters are off and its bench vs bench can sometimes be the big deciding factor whether you win or lose ATS and the Spurs secondary team has a huge opportunity to blow out the Portland bench who are terrible. I would be comfortable taking the Spurs here..
Nuggets @ GSW - I'm a big Nuggets fan, I've bet on them quite a lot so far this season but I think i'll lay off them against GSW. I don't really have an explanation that makes sense it's more just a feeling. Match up wise Denver should dominate GSW and cover the low spread easily. Denver are far too deep in the big positions for GSW who are out matched considerably there, and that should be the difference maker. GSW have the ability to have big games and be red hot Thompson/Curry especially, and after getting rolled by the Lakers they may have a bounce back game shooting wise. I just dont feel comfortable.
