houston is likely to breakdown like their trio of superstars. philly looks like a good play with them points on the road. will their coach ask lou williams to try to pass the ball to his teammates. his shooting is in the slump

Alright, I've got them locked and loaded. As per my write-up, my three plays for tonight are:
Boston -15.5
OKC -6.5
Portland -9.5
Added
Raptors -1.5
Tonight, I don't care about reverse line movement. My advice is to not let it ruin your opinion on a pick. You don't have to look so far for the perfect example: last night, the Nuggets were the betting public's favourite with over 85% on them, yet the line dropped from -7 to -5.5(?). Good luck to everyone tonight.Comment -
I totally agreeBigMoneyMan
I like Bobbies 1st Half. If you like Portland wait until half they will be down>
Portland have a habit of starting games slow, they frustrated me so much the last few games when I bet 1st QTR and 1st Half, then I started studying them more and realised their strongest play come in the second quater. They are the 3rd strongest team statistically in the 3rd QTR winning 64% of them and 5th strongest for 4th QTR while they are 22ND IN 1ST QTR'S
. I even watched a program lately about how many times Roy turns on the heat and saves Portland in the 4th.
Also I love Celtic in the 1st QTR, 2nd QTR and 1st Half, they have been hammering teams from the start whistle but then get bored when their up by 1000 in the 4th, lay off the gas and let the other team shoot a few concellation hoops which is the only reason I think they may not cover.Comment -
Locked in Indiana at -5 before the line went upComment -
Just stopping by for a shot in the arm, the Missus is playing the Portland Trailblazers heavy. I of course am not playing NBA right now, but I thought that I would pass that along for those who are interested. Keep up the good work Sam. If the people didn't know who you were before now, they will surely know of you now. You're doing an outstanding job handling the NBA thread! And with that, I'm back out the door!Comment -
I laughed out loud when I saw the Clips/Bulls line.
Bulls -3, easy.
Pistons PK.
Hornets -3.
ATL/NY Over 207.
IND/MIL Over 211.5
Miami -9.Comment -
T'wolves +1 @ home vs. pistons who are in tailspin. Al Jefferson will be best player on the floor for very hot Minnesota team.
Raptors -1 vs. Nets - NJ is playing like they're LAC right now and they will not hang with Bosh and the boys.
Knicks PK @ home vs. Hawks - Hawks are struggling/hurt and Knicks are vibing. NYK solid hometeam of late.
B-Cats +11.5 vs. Blazers. No GW + b2b scares me but the Bobs are a scrappy bunch, i'll take pts.Comment -
I've been posting in CK thread at NCAA but I also should post here, so there it is my play for the day:
TOR/NJ UNDER 196.5 (last 3 games beteew this 2 at New Jersey averaged 181ppg and in the last 6 home/away the total average was 195 only because of the 129-127 Nets win in November 21st this season, if we exclude this game that went to OT, the average score is 182.8ppg)
I'm thinking in pounding this one heavy......super heavy style
One the other bet's I'm not even try to explain (because I'm the only one ridding Memphis) MEM+7
and SAC/BOS OVER 205Comment -
Styles is on the Blazers too huh? That is comforting; Blazers are my biggest play today by far. I really hope news comes out that Wallace is sitting this one out. I love that extra reassurance.Last edited by vassman86; 01-28-09, 01:45 PM.Comment -

Anyone who is not on Detroit today is not ready to make some money, just as an observerComment -
i'm on det. as well. my pistons owe me big-time. time for the paybackComment -
Awww, CK misses the NBA thread! Come back to us CK, come back!Comment -
That comment about detroit could end up being correct, but I wouldnt piss on detroit if they were on fire. They will not see anymore of my money until they show me they deserve it.
At home they get absolutely destroyed by dallas last week. They are on a losing slump - last 2 games, where t'wolves actually destroyed them at home last time they played anyways. The team chemistry is horrible right now, Iverson is garbage, his team hates him - and he hates the team...they don't deserve to be a 1 point road favorite.Comment -
Pittsburgh Panthers -3.5
Boston Celtics -9 1H
My only two plays for today. I've got 5 grand on the line here, I can smell a huge day coming.Comment -
I don't agree with the Pistons for the game. Like jaymac stated, the Pistons aren't' playing well together. They fk'd sideways by the Mavs and until they start showing me that they can win, I won't bet on them.
I think the Wolves are a much better play here.Comment -
vas, det is the play just because of their past weeks' play. don't be fooled.Comment -
Here are my picks for today. Games I like
Miami -9 over Washington
OKC -7.5 over Memphis
Philly +5 over Houston (HUGE! Morrison Game "B" system)
Detroit -1 over Minnesota (Morrison Game "A" system)
Toronto -1.5 over NJ
Portland -11.5 over Charlotte (2OT game & Travel for Hornets)Comment -
I agree with CK on Detroit.. the game seems scary with detroit playing horrible but its a Morrison pick and ive been following it lately seems like those system games are doing well esp the ones that seem hard to believe like Detroit -1 at Minnesota... Detroit all the way!Comment -

Gerald Wallace is out
From rotoworld:
Latest News:
Gerald Wallace has a collapsed left lung and a broken rib as the result of the flagrant foul from Andrew Bynum in last night's game against the Lakers. Wallace could be released from the hospital on Thursday, but there's still no timetable for when he might return, and our guess is it could be a while before he's back on the court. Hopefully a timetable for his recovery will become clearer in the next couple of days.
He's out of tonight's game.Comment -
CK love your picks but man I hate Detroit but best of luck to you on thatComment -
There are no morrison plays today...next series starts fridayComment -
I've added the Raptors -1.5 to my card as well.
Milwaukee has lost their star, Michael Redd. Bogut will also be out of this game, as he's not expected to return until Friday, at the earliest. I'm not playing this game yet, but my initial thoughts are that the Pacers win and cover tonight's spread.Comment -

2 Teamer
Celtics -9.5 1st Half

My NBA plays
Portland -9.5 (big) - locked in last night, for reasons we all know
Miami -4.5 1H- Miami are playing really well at the moment, particularly on defense. I look for that trend to continue and to D-Wade to carry the offense again against a poor Wizards team.
Toronto -1 - again booked last night, Calderon back and making this team fire on all cylinders
Pacers -6 - Bucks look lost without their star player. Think this could actually be a blow out.
Bulls -3 - small play but I have the balls to take the bulls tonight against the clips even with a couple of starters returning.Comment -
damn - i have crash on my fantasy team. other news from the nba:
-Hornets' power forward David West will miss another game on Wednesday due to back spasms.
Julian Wright will get another start in his place tonight. West should be back at some point, but the fact he's now missed five straight games is a concern. They'll have him go through another work out on Thursday in hopes that he feels well enough to play on Friday. But it sounds like there's a chance he could sit all week.
-Despite reports that he could potentially be shut down due to injuries, Ron Artest (ankle) is planning to play Wednesday night against the Sixers.
Artest said Wednesday "I woke up this morning and felt great,"
Yao Ming (knee) says that he's playing Wednesday night against the Sixers, "for sure."
He was ruled out of Monday's game with soreness just prior to tip-off, but it appears as though he's all systems go for WednesdayComment -
Plays for 1/28/09
Toronto -2 (heavy) Loss (bs game)
Portland -11.5 (heavy) Win
Chi -3 Win
Mia -8.5 Win
Ind -6.5 Win
Okc -7 Win
Going to start recording my record as of today 1/28/09 nba 5-1Comment -
Lol, don't get me wrong; I don't wish injuries upon anyone. I've had a collapsed lung before, which happened randomly actually (I was walking around a mall with my girlfriend). Every time I took a deep breath I'd feel a stabbing pain in my chest. I went to the hospital the next morning to get x-rays. I didn't need any medical treatment, it just corrected itself on its own.
All the best to Wallace, of course!Comment -
KNICKS - PK
Knicks are 6-2 @ the Garden in January.
Knicks winners of 4 straight home games.
Knicks 13-9 @ home this season.
Hawks 2-6 on road in january.
Hawks 9-13 on road this season.
The Knicks are looking to stay hot and emerge as a playoff contender for the first time this decade. They would love to avenge an earlier defeat vs. ATL and now seems to be the time to do just that. Hawks are struggling without Al Horford and are considerably less formidable away from home. They lack the necessary depth to deal with the Knicks fast pace; expect them to tire and the knicks should pull away late.
NYK has had letdowns this year after seeming to gain momentum, but this is setting up as a must win home game with Lakers, Cavs & Celts "The Holy Hoops Trinity" coming to town next week.Comment
