Leans for Friday 1/16/09

Hotdiggity11 · 01-16-09, 10:12 PM

Got the Lakers -2 in the first half. Good play?

ragiche · 01-16-09, 10:16 PM

What's the green star stands for?

ClockCleaner · 01-16-09, 10:17 PM

Interesting info here, home teams play better on Friday nights. Its holding up so far as all the home teams have won or are winning except for Memphis. Its understandable because the Jazz just got blown out in OKC. Did anyone think they would lose again tonite? We really need to start looking for better angles on these games.

Same thing with the Cavs. Got blown out at the Hornets and just lost to to the Bulls, crazy to think they would lose tonite at home vs the Horents who are not that great anyway.

I like the Lakers seeing that they just lost to Spurs and lost earlier to the Magic. Only bad thing is Magic are lot better than the Hornets. Clev was to easy tonite.

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:18 PM

nonsense, your an idiot. I never said anything bad about you, so why would you tell me to shut the @#$% up? seriously guy, get over it. I like your opinions. I have nothing bad to say about you. My calls have probably been 50-50 over the entirety of me posting. but at the same time, I don't keep track, and I form my own opinion. I have said plays that I feel strongly about, and guess what, they have won...so shoot yourself, slip in a puddle of aids and split your skulls, and sneeze and have a heart attack.

green star denotes a team that has a better power rating than the team they're playing but they're getting points

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:18 PM

rags, the green star is for the team that has the edge.

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:21 PM

jay, i won't even dignify your attack with a response you pin-headed bastard

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:22 PM

see jay, that's how much you know. take a nap little boy

why do you keep making comments about games like they're over when they're not?

its sort of misleading to people that dont have a sports ticker up..

perhaps you missed my post, but thats one of the big reasons i was on utah tonight - though memphis is making this a sweat

ragiche · 01-16-09, 10:23 PM

So for the atl/gs game.The hawks are estimated -3 in the power rankings with no green star.While the magic also -3 with a green star.So, what will be the difference of the two.

If you watch the game you can see the Hornets have no shot at covering. Don't worry the Jazz have this one.

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:25 PM

rags, i like the magic to cover - and to win. that is not to say that atl wont winn. IMO atl is better than GS but, i just like my bet better. but im throwin 50 on nonsenses' play....there you go nonsense.

did you make a play on the cavs earlier in the thread? clarity after the fact doesnt help us

jjusttiff · 01-16-09, 10:26 PM

overs or unders for atlanta/ GS game? i like the unders...any suggestions? got the lakers at -3.5 good play?

johnnyP · 01-16-09, 10:26 PM

WOW

Pistons 79
Thunder 89

Pistons home tomorrow against Hornets. Detroit is not playing well at all and Hornets will be pissed after tonights game against the Cavs.

Fading Pistons tomorrow.

korver who is like a 90% ft shooter was 0-3 in the 4th late....now he just nailed 2 and thats it for the utah cover.

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:28 PM

magic have a better power rating but l.a. is giving them 4' pts. so magic have green star. atl has a better rating and they're giving 1' pts so no star

Hornets are nothing special. Detroit wins at home tomorrow.

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:30 PM

you know what? f-that.. I won't take atl. I'll put my 50 on the over of that game, but atl might not cover. too many injuries. last time the two teams played atl didnt have so many players out. sorry nonsense.

ragiche · 01-16-09, 10:32 PM

Locked on orl +4, atl -1.5 for 200 each.

So my final late plays:

Mil pk,Orl+4 and the O 215.5 ,atl-1.5.Here you go guys.Let's hope that all of these covers.

i like your thinking of taking good teams off a su loss - but the pistons will be playing their 4th game in 5 nights tomorrow, and are just flat out cold having lost 3 in a row su - i'm rolling with no

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:32 PM

why would you put your $$$ on an over with so many key injuries?

That just may give the edge to the Hornets since they lost tonite. It should go down to the wire but I think people are basing the Hornets off their play from last year.

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:36 PM

DEX, you're right. this guy IS a clown

Pistons have lost 5 of their last 6 games and they have too many guards on the team. Coach is playing ridiculous line-ups with Stuckey, Iverson and Hamilton at the same time. Iverson is a team killer. They are not playing well together. I suspect a trade coming soon for the Pistons. There are several teams that could use a good 2 gaurd and Det has 3 of them.

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:36 PM

cuz GS scores no matter what, and no matter what they dont play D. high scoring game. But my real money is on orlando winning, and the over for the orlando game.

GL. I am up for the week, so I hope you can win tonight too nonsense...even though i'd like to be up more. I maxed out on the over, and the spread for the orlando game.

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:38 PM

looks liek we agree on something nonsense...clockcleaner, go spray some sletzer someplace else.

nonsense, I like this little competition we have going. Good Luck!

hockeytown11 · 01-16-09, 10:38 PM

bucks are up 19 already

Dexter · 01-16-09, 10:38 PM

the "new" celtics are 3-0 su and ats the last 3 trips to nj winning by an avg of 10ppg. the nets play in front of arguably the worst home court fans in the nba - and it shows with their 8-14 ats mark at home. factor in their 3rd game in 4 days at an early start, and i'll ride the green wave. they showed a few weeks ago that the early start time didnt bother them in toronto.

-celtics

johnnyP · 01-16-09, 10:40 PM

Bucks

End of 1st Quarter

Bucks 37
Kings 18

Bucks are killing the Kings. Looking good!

Warrios vs Hawks game starting shortly. Maybe we will see CK in the crowd!

nonsense48 · 01-16-09, 10:41 PM

DEX, he doesn't get it. Jay, what does the green star mean in the power ratings?

Karayilan9 · 01-16-09, 10:42 PM

Bucks up `19 first quater, ye baby

jaymac82980 · 01-16-09, 10:44 PM

GREEN STAR Means "the edge", which makes the team with the green star a good bet. just remember this is based on power rankings, and it is a computer...but the team with the green star is what the computer is telling you is "the bet".

No, but that was the reason I was going to play it. But after seeing the big play on the Hornets I backed off. From now on I'm sticking to my reasons. I did post the Wizards and Pacers though.
