Leans for 1/17/09 Hockeytown11 vs. CK Day 1

[jaymac82980]

Djpremier, I do not have numbers to back up "my lean" which is why I didn't place a lean. I asked for opinions, and you have one - based on the team being "money". If you have numbers, please enlighhten me. I simply like Mil to cover, but I am asking for advice for a reason.

This thread needs to get past people looking to bash others due to personal feelings.

CK, I apologize for letting my emotions get the better of me last night and responding to the posts/ If you all read back, I never initiated any negative contact. So let's get back to basketball and continue winning. Djpremier, if you read half of last nights posts, and not all of them, then you got the wrong impression of. I am here to win. So let's brush that chip of the shoulder, and look towards making some money for all that is interested. I never knocked your "lean" I just asked for supporting numebrs more than "money". Seriously, if you have figues, please share. You are here to bounce ideas with others, not to withhold info and hope everyone else loses.

I DO like Mil -3, but I have placed no "lean " on them. I asked for your help, not your criticism.

again, CK, since this is your thread, I again apologize for getting involved in the 13 pages of thread last night. I am just hoping we can get past it and move forward with actual basketball talk.

jay - in dj's defense, he did say they were "money vs the spread".....so part of his opinion was that the bucks have been a solid ats team.

lets all move along and GET ALONG

[cocknocker]

Only the Spurs can make the Bulls look like Jordan was still playing on their team...

[GreatDanes52]

anybody like halftime play in the orlando/denver game

[djpremier36]

Jaymac,

Don't misquote me with the "money" quote. Finish off the quote with ATS(against the spread), which MIL is one of the best in the league. No where in your "does anyone have opinions...." post, did you ask for numbers. First you want an opinion, now you want to be enlightened?? You like MIL tonite and so do I...end of story!

kmart is awful...cant stand his game

[cocknocker]

It's all good jaymac, don't trip. We like for the CK Mafia lounge to be mellow. Things happen, and people get pissed off. That's life. How you deal with someone being pissed off at you is what shows your class. Believe me I piss people off all the time without meaning to, lol!

[Luv2Poker]

You guys sound like 3 yr olds in a farkin sandbox throwing it in each others eyes. 60% of this thread has turned into a childrens soap opera. Overlook all the B.S. and stop feeding into it. Can we kindly get down to business!!

kmart is awful...cant stand his game

I agree 100% with you Dex. Kenyon Martin is making almost $14.5M this year with terrible production. With Carmelo's absence, the teams big money makers have got to produce and he has not. I think they would be very well served to trade him for somebody like.....Gerald Wallace.

[jaymac82980]

well, apparantly I wasn't the only one to view your comments incorrectly (see post 184). I wish you the best of luck, but I have laid off the MIL -3 pick. I have found a better looking spread for my late night selection.

Good luck to you Djpremier.

Nice job Spurs!!!

[nonsense48]

S.a. Covers yes

[djpremier36]

Thx Jay Mac...best of luck and no hard feelings

[peetlui]

Thanks Peetliu!!

Anytime my brother!

[nonsense48]

6-1 so far today with 3 more to go. we shall see

[jaymac82980]

none here. I wanted to take mIl -3, but I missed the time. I am now taking pacific +1.5 and the over. no particular reasons except that the line started as a pick, and I think in general the public is wrong (could bite me in the butt), and as far as the over, my numbers show this game hitting 143. So I'll take the chance. Plus it's televised so I get to watch my money!

fukn nuggets

[GreatDanes52]

Jaymac. Are you playing the Hawaii/ San Jose St. game?

[jaymac82980]

Djpremier, my last post didnt specify, when I say, "none here", I meant no problem. GL on the bucks. I think they should cover. GL.

[peterpan19]

come on utah, keep it close

will be an interesting 4th qtr in denver

[jgbgsox]

i took cal st they have covered 10 out of 11 on saturday's

[LUNT101]

Hornets and Sixers cashed as my singles and now I'm waiting on Spurs/Mavericks teaser (spurs already in). Turning out to be a good night.

[Smacksmiter]

Despite the "distractions" lately...these are the kinds of days that I enjoy greatly here in Cks thread...All of the little things that I have learned here are coming into play and paying off today...

Its a nice feeling to book a big winner

We all need to focus like a laser beam on beating the books....

Really... I am NOT kidding...

FOCUS.... put aside all of the "my dick is bigger than your dick" stuff and get back to the business of winning..

I especially appreciate the in depth angles of many of the focused handicappers in here who along with Ck make this the best thread on the net...

Lets keep it that way

[jaymac82980]

Greatdane, I havent looked at the Hawaii game closely yet, but without reading the numbers my instincts say bet against Hawaii. I will look into it. and don't go on my first impression. But as I've followed hawaii in other games, and when the line is close, hawaii gives the game up. Remember, the spread also figures in teams playing in hawaii, but that doesn't always matter, because if you have watched any games, Hawaii is terrible. I have watched them on "justin.tv" give up huge early leads. They are NOT a good team. but again, let's review the numbers first. If anyone has advice on this game, please chime in.

[jaymac82980]

nonsense...Here we go magic, here we go - CLAP CLAP!

Jaymac, I agree and after looking closely at what the public is on
(69% on my book) and the fact the line has become pk I think i am going to play San Jose State if i decide to put in a bet for the game. Thanks

[jaymac82980]

smacksmitter, while I agree with what you have said, i have to tell you that I(along with others possibly) got warnings for language. Even though you weren't insulting anyone directly, please keep it clean. remember, the moderators already made it clean they were watching this thread due to yesterdays events.

anyways, greatdane, what are your initial thoughts on hawaii?

[nonsense48]

utah loss...boo 6-2 and 2 to go. get 'em orl and milw.

[jaymac82980]

nonsense, ORlando looks like a win to me. just goes to show you, it IS ok to go against the grain. no offense meant to any CK backers (and no offense to you CK), but sometimes we need to decide for ourselves.

[jaymac82980]

also no offense meant to Dex.
