Golden State (32-23) is -1 at Minnesota (20-32)

Glad someone made a thread about this, I have been looking at the line.

The Twolves are not good at all, on paper the Warriors should outclass them.

Big letdown spot after last night?

aireent777 · 02-24-13, 12:48 AM

Pass.

RascaLinFaith · 02-24-13, 12:48 AM

I don't think the warriors are as good as their record.. but yeah the wolves are bad and this seems like a gift

Honestly hawley, I have no fvcking idea.

Normally I'd say the line says it all and play Minnesota, but public plays have been cashing like crazy since the ASB other than about one or two a day (Warriors last night, Wiz last night and tonight).

Done worrying about public $ right now. This is the time to just be smart and play the better team! Only day I'm gonna consume myself with looking at where $ is will be "Black Monday". I went 5-6 today overall and would have been on the flip side if it did'nt look "too easy" or looking at where the $ was at.. Hoyas was the play and K-st but I faded them both mainly on those factors. Could have been 7-4 if I just played smart and went with my gut in the end!

Rone247 · 02-24-13, 12:57 AM

The public is not wrong all the time. I was with the public today and raked.

R.P. McMurphy · 02-24-13, 01:05 AM

Yeah public crushed today in pro and college. However there is 1 exception that never fails. Take all the public bets in nba on Monday nights and see what happens!

Vinnie Paz · 02-24-13, 01:14 AM

Warriors are kind shitty on the road but still they'll cover by 10+

Books tryna get back at the wiseguys with these bullshit head fake lines. Dont waste your time on the betting % charts, it's a reverse trap here. Not to mention for whatever reason t wolves always seem to get short lines at home against top teams, it's like oddsmakers forgot k love is out.

hawley · 02-24-13, 01:15 AM

Would we think twice if the Warriors were at home and the line was -8?

Vinnie Paz · 02-24-13, 01:18 AM

You'll see the usual 87% on gsw, line won't ever budge and warriors still win by 15. Calling it from now.

Vinnie Paz · 02-24-13, 01:28 AM

T pups 12-20 ATS as a dog

Seto · 02-24-13, 02:15 AM

Noticed this too. Not sure what to make of it. Probably a pass.

vasilli07 · 02-24-13, 02:19 AM

Beside Love, any more players out for T'wolves?

NittanyLionsFan · 02-24-13, 02:22 AM

It's hilarious how people who post here act like they aren't the public.

Sick_in_the_Head · 02-24-13, 02:34 AM

This thread has way too much over thinking.

Flagrant1 · 02-24-13, 02:40 AM

I analyzed this game every way I could, but I don't see why Golden State doesn't cover here. The only reasons I can think of is that the Warriors don't play well on the road and the T-Wolves have some relatively decent back court depth in Shved and Barrea who can come off the bench and possibly create some problems whereas the Warriors only solid guard off the bench is Jack. Also, the Rockets went into Minnesota earlier this year when the Wolves were completely depleted and were beaten. But the Rockets are a perimeter team and if their 3s don't fall, they'll lose to anyone. The Warriors have a legit 20-10 guy in Lee.

Golden State looks like they're over their slump having won a couple in a row. The game will probably be closer than I think, but Lee and Biedrins should control the glass...Pekovic will get his though. Curry and Thompson should be able to get what they want against Ridnour and Rubio.... Carl Landry may have a big game for the Warriors coming off the bench too. As long as the Warriors give a decent effort defensively and not allow a team filled with mostly 2nd and 3rd tier NBA players to get in any offensive rhythm they should win, but watch them lose, lol. I guess I'm a square, but I couldn't pass up on taking Golden State here:

What's the point of betting on these games? This forum has a history of failure, most recently Chicago against Miami. Don't forget the history,trying to outsmart the books is one thing, playing safer bets is another.

Italy · 02-24-13, 03:53 AM

Warriors sucks on the road,lately at least...hope they will lose

Da Beer Guy · 02-24-13, 08:52 AM

is kevin love playing?

pacocn · 02-24-13, 09:18 AM

T pups or nada, i will go with the former

DallasMaverick41 · 02-24-13, 09:44 AM

I'm pretty sure it's a trap.
Otherwise, the spread would be somewhere alongside the -3 mark.

coitus_maximus · 02-24-13, 12:45 PM

I smell a trap. GS looked good against the Spurs, Twolves look like garbage against OKC. Everyone on GS, line only -1.....Gotta think
is it this easy?

Like Dallas early and Minny late. Think they are ok at home. Love for Ricky Rubio. Plus remember GS sucks balls inside the paint with minny's team all from the Motherland of Vodka

No bet is easy money or everyone here would be millionnaires..... edge for me goes to GS

No need to over think this

Inkwell77 · 02-24-13, 02:59 PM

Line does not make sense.

Should be something like GS -5.....

I would bet on Minnesota ML +125 or nothing.

play4win · 02-24-13, 06:06 PM

another perfect set up by vegas!

musictoscience · 02-24-13, 07:00 PM

Ok, that -1 being not set, i won't buy it. How can someone handicap a +/- 1 game and have the balls to keep the line at that spread is beyond my imagination.
