Hi guys...

new member from Melbourne, Australia... great forum ... love your work!!!

My picks for tonight are:

New York (+13.5)/Under 224.5 @ 3.25 ( i dont see Lakers covering and the game will be tight)
LA Clippers (head to head) @ 1.50 ( safest bet of the night)

Combined in a multi bet(parlay) whatever u call it.... @ 4.87

goodluck to all!!!!

clipps -5

all the numbers point to clipps winning this game. hopefully they come in to okc and blast the durantulas out of the bldg like they did last time (11/19 108-88). mobley and kaman had 23 & 25 pts on that one but im hoping with the way they play the thunder - passing and just playing good basketball, the two other starters (z randolph and gordon) will have their way against these young thunder squad too. so dd points for all the clipps starters shld do the job. one thing i might have overlooked on this game is it's the front end of a back to back for clipps, resting the starters could be a detriment to this pick if for some reason dunleavy decide to do so. still, im taking my chances on the clipps tonight. 1st of 4 road games. what better way to start it off by winning decisively in okc. i see 8+ pts win by the clipps on this one! go baron!

BigMoney,

Teams don't win all three in the Texas Triangle, and Houston is playing with revenge. Denver just picked up a win last night in Dallas (oh man don't I know that too well). This will be a hotly contested game, but I would give the nod to Houston to win by 8. Denver has to be looking ahead on the schedule at Clveland coming into town, homes. the Cavs will beat them too. But I would rather wait for that game and take the shorthanded Cavs to pick up the win, which is why this Houston game did not make the final grade with me.

Thanks, pronk,

I will put that $100.00 on them. I already wsted $100.00 on Tennessee 1st half, so that $200.00 left to spare is cut in half now! Let's go Eskimos, or whatever their mascot is....

[cocknocker]

mundane,

If the Clips don't cover that game, I would be very surprised, but at the same time, it seems that there is a bread line in front of the sportsbook counter full of Clippers backers. I hope that they win, to keep the mood in here mellow. Good luck to you all!

[showtime2000]

Good evening all, pronk nice call on Edmonton. Tonight's a good nite to fade Chicago after winning 4 in a row and to add Chicago are 2-12-1 in the last 15 meetings in Edmonton.

Ck, let's go Bobcats!

[mundane]

yeah.. thunder is hungry for a win! when are they not? lol! we've all seen the dunks and fast offense style of the durantulas but with clippers length and tenacity that would neutralize that. if not schalaking by clippers, i think this will come down to the last 4 minutes of the game and we'll see veteran players showing the durantulas how it's done!

[cnleaf]

CK, u finally back!!!
what do u think of LAL under? I think this line is too high for the tired NY team.

[Spoon]

Thunder keeps games close, but lose focus in the 4th. That's been their problem. I took the Clippers last night -4 and think they will play lights out and cash for me and everyone else.

I took under 224 and believe it's a solid bet.

[ManBearPig]

The only thing that worries me about the Clippers is that this is the Clippers and they too can never be considered a sure bet. They can do somethings sometimes that make you go

I just hope they bring it tonight or we'll all be up in arms over what could've been.

[mundane]

well .. let's all bite our nails! watch it here...

clipps vs the durantulas

With u on that one.

[BigMoneyMan]

Adding N Colorado and Marquette. Tenn hasn't proved a thing to me and I think they get beat again tonight. Also taking the KnIgs first half.

PS If you can get it take the first half N Colorodo over the game. They always come out of the blocks strong.

The thing is I think N.Colorado is out 2 players that they normally have and will be short handed for the game. I belive one of them Jefferson Mason transferred and is no longer on the team and the other Palacios is questionable for the game and may not play. Portland is a pretty good sized team and they can shoot the 3...trust me they beat my team (Nevada) on our court which is not easy to do. Portland if they play how they're capable this should be an easy win for them.

[BigMoneyMan]

Why do I never play/over unders? Because they go under the entire game and then scor 64 in the fourth and go into OT !!!! I guess I can't complain 1st loss this week.

[laxdjock]

The Marq line is plummeting....was 7ish, and now down to 5.

[ManBearPig]

WTF is NO doing??? Are they seriously letting Memphis stomp them like this!

[Spoon]

I find it strange that only a total of 18 points were scored in 8 minutes. That's bizzare! There goes my over bet.

[Spoon]

NO and the Clippers better open it up in the 4th and stop messing around. Both teams dominated the 1st quarter and showed they can play. They had enough rest in the 2nd and 3rd so the 4th better mirror that 1st quarter and bring it home.

[cocknocker]

Charlotte pulled it off with good moneyline action at that! Good call by the Missus! New Orleans is allowing the Grizzlies to hang around too long for my comfort. They have lost the last two quarters.

[djpremier36]

Paul and West a combined 4 for 19 through 3 quarters...that can NOT last my friends

[ManBearPig]

im watching this game and its just foul after foul no pace and NO isn't controlling the pace at all. Memphis is doing what they want almost scoring on every posession...this isn't gonna be pretty. Paul is back and and just hit a 3 maybe they can pick up the pace. This is gonna be and under and Memphis will cover. They are not going away.

I can't only pray for OT here...

[cnleaf]

Just got this news. Paul Gasol is not playing tonite. I saw that from the local TV. CK, what do u think?

[ManBearPig]

clippers appear to be handling business in the 4th though...

[BigMoneyMan]

WOOOO we are doing it now gentelmen. Marquete in the 1st looking good and N Colorod getting it done as well. Need them to get the games and Its another 4 in the pocket. My last play for the day is NY 1st half and game. They played last night and 7.5 is to many to give a team that has covered in LA everytime as far back as I can see. I also am taking them for the game because LA has not covered that many points in a long time. If they do get up by 25 in the fourth they will sit on it and I will get the back door cover. DAMM Im going to get Memphis also. Didn't post that one sorry guys. Let get some late money!!!

[Spoon]

Like I said, "Thunder keeps games close, but loses focus in the 4th." This was one of my biggest money plays other than NO so I'm happy over here. Congrats Clippers' Backers!

[ManBearPig]

OMG...I'm gonna get bit again...6 on a 6.5 spread. This is weaaak!!!

OOOH...FT in the last 10 sec...thank god!!

[Spoon]

Now this is a profitable day at the office so far. NO pulls it out for all of us just like the Clippers.

Congrats CK on the cap and everyone else who sided with NO and cahed this bet.

[headphones.ink]

lol I ended up with Memphis +6.5 how rigged was the end of that game??

Well at least I had Charlotte and Clippers coming through.

[cocknocker]

New Orleans got it done and covered for us. Me and ManBearPig took a loss on the over/under as the teams struggled all night with their free throw shooting leaving 13 points on the board. As far as the 3 point shooting is concerned, the teams missed 20 between them, which pretty much tells the story. Shooting doomed the over. I didn't see much defense being played that would affect the outcome.

[Spoon]

Bring on the Lakers... Knicks +15 and Under 224 will be an amazing addition to my bankroll tonight.

[djpremier36]

Chris Paul and Baron Davis clutch up...thx boys...I'll be cashing that ticket!

If Gasol isn't playing I really like your chances

[cocknocker]

Lost my $100.00 on Tennessee 1st half however. I'm through. College basketball is like throwing money at my television! Whatever.. Okay rolling, I give. I'm going into college basketball retirement until the conference season starts!
