I don't care about that. Nor do I care to bet on them right now, here today. But I am watching.When they get the covering machine going you can't catch on after the 2nd one. All that I know is that next week will be Blazers' week all week long with doubling up on two games straight. I'm gonna wear them out with these plays, Portland 12/16, 12/18/08.
the clips have been covering big spreads and the reverse line movement has me scared off this game. I'll roll with them next week though.
what the hell is up with all that line movement in the detroit game though... got me nervous about it.

The last time the Pistons line started out at -5.5 and dropped to -4.5 they lost the game outright. Now it starts out at -7 and just dropped to -5.5. What's the story? What don't I know?

CK.. for what it's worth.. I like the lowly Clipps to keep this one close. I really think fatigue is gonna be a big factor on the defensive end tonight. On the tail end of the B2B after having played a tough road schedule over the past two weeks and all the time in the air with only one day at home over that span. These guys are happy to be home to face a shitty team for the first time in a while and may relax a bit too much..

That Sixers line finally went up to +11. I think if I wait a little more, then the public can get it to 11.5. The Cavs should be favored by 6, and actually 5 with a starter lost for the game.
Anyway, just for you, my homie in Stockholm, I am gonna make a parlay for you. Don't put more than $25.00 on it:
Memphis+2.5
New Orleans +7.5 (1 point buy)
Atlanta+2.5
Minnesota +12.5 (4 point buy gotta face the music)
Detroit-5.5
Orlando+100 moneyline
Philladelphia +12.5 (1.5 point buy)
Toronto+2.5
I am putting $25.00 to win $2102.75

I am still waiting for my half point. If I don't get it, i may drop this game. Cleveland's moneyline dictates that the linemaker has room to take this line up to 13 just prior to gametime. If that happens, then i am laying off of this game, because the points would match the moneyline. So I am still waiting...
My official plays so far
Detroit-6
Warriors+2.5
New Orleans+7.5
Orlando +100 Moneyline

Alright hes back. Had some time to look at the games and here is what I have so far. I am going with Cleveland. I know Ck is touting Philly but everything says the Cavs and now the line is moving up as it should. The only thing that says take Philly here is the past trends and Gents you can throw that crap out the window. This is not the same team you have seen in the past. BTW Iluglast only scored 8 and had 3 rebounds in the last game so him being out is probably a plus. CLEV -10 bought the hook.
Second play I am taking Memphis. This one looks right on all of my capping factors, movement, trends, situation, recent performance. MEMPHIS +3
I played them all evenly. I didn't favor any over the other tonight.

The Sixers can piss off. I am thinking that the Cavs should have had more movement. After talking with BigMoney and my own reservations about the line, i am laying off of that one.
No play Sixers +11

OK a update. I am rolling with NO tonight. This is a bad situation for Boston on a BTB. No is a young team and matches up well. Boston is older and the BTB will effect them. NO +7
I can't roll with Ck on Detroit tonight. With AI in the mix up I just don't think they gel as well. With that said Detroit after a loss on the road usually wins by 20+ and that why he likes them. Just not the same team without Billups so I have to see if they will respond the same before laying cash on it to find out. GL

Obviously a newbie here (hello 1st post). I have had a fairly decent record with NFL but I always got killed on NBA. I decided to read up here and follow some advice of the more experienced. I went to pick up NO at +7 and right as I did it it changed to +8. Even better for me I suppose. Good luck all

My final plays:
Det -5.5
GS +2
Over Celtics 189
Clev -9.5 (-130) (my buddy loved em at -11 so I told him I'd ride with him... had it at -10.5 so bought the point)
and I'm making a last minute decision on hornets... POSSIBLY taking em +7.. but may just lay off.. Good luck everyone.. Been a phenomenal week and would LOVE to keep it going.
Like Celtics over and NJ -3 but will wait until second half to make my decision

dreday,
The linemakers are covering their bets no0, trying to get some bets on New Orleans. But 6.5 is still 8. With the consensus number like that, (74-26%), they had to leave some wiggle room. But what you are not paying attention to is the moneyline. It has fallen quite a bit, while the spread went up. Boston is now only -330 with that 7.5 spread

OK Last one until 9:30 got to run out and will capp the last three when I return. Taking Orlando. Lets face it the Suns are a mess right now and management knows it. (ie the trade) Now shag is out and really doesn't;t matter if hes in against Howard. Then there going to throw Richardson in the mix tonight. If you don't think that is going to spell disaster against a rested Magic team common. ORLANDO ML

Tyson Chandler is out for tonight with neck spasms, but that wasn't released until right before gametime. Oh well, insider information that we didn't have access to. Their backup is plus/minus nightmare Hilton Armstrong. I hope that he gets into foul trouble early so that he won't be a factor. This is bad news...

CK any chance New Orleans pulls off a win in Boston? Heck the way the line is moving. Never mind that with Chandler out.
