yep 14 is quite a lot, and well Lak should be tired a bit and not run the score up in the 4th too much, also OKC played better as of late, they should cover

also liking chi -2 too as of now, can you really trust det ?? I have to say no and the way Chi played on the road trip plus how they always play great against Det covered last 5 overall and 3-2 ATS at home

and also tor -1.5, I mean Jefferson out plus the 4-0 ATS in Min and 8-0 ATS overall, hell yes

CLE still a go even with the injury in my oppinion

Andy I hear what your saying with the bobcats, but there is a reason why they haven't won 3 games in a row on the road since early February of 2006. They are not a consistent team at all, and when you think your getting something out of them they crumble. I mean there's 2.5 seasons worth of precedent to show for it. Now I understand the Bobcats are without some players and what not, but you have to factor in the veteran presence of a winning coach in Larry Brown to be able to piece the puzzle together enough tonight to beat a hapless clippers team. The Bobcats have lost 5 in a row and you gotta know they are gonna come out tough at home against a team they KNOW they can beat. Thats just my take, but I will say that I would be shocked to see the Bobcats lose tonight.

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 05:37 PM

Rudy Gay is not likely to play for the Grizzlies when they play the Hornets on Monday due to a hip flexor.
This game is going to be painful to watch for the folks who spent money for tickets. Gay, Darrell Arthur (personal) and Kyle Lowry (foot) are not expected for Memphis, while Chris Paul, David West and Tyson Chandler will probably be in street clothes for New Orleans

Good argument. Guess we find out our fate, and who turns up in a few hours.

**anthonydiamondLC** · 02-09-09, 05:42 PM

Yeah I'm looking forward to see how this game turns out.

Just looked. A little worried Memphis seem to be injury plagued as well. The under might be the play here.

**schaapattack** · 02-09-09, 05:46 PM

I agree but i dont play totals anymore.

**hockeytown11** · 02-09-09, 05:47 PM

guys will try to post reasons for my plays in a few minutes,just got back from daughters jr high basketball game and have to eat dinner,wanted to post so u didnt think i was leavin you all hanging,ps if you throw out the last week or so then look at all of Calgarys games it wont be hard to see why the over is the play.

**anthonydiamondLC** · 02-09-09, 05:50 PM

With all the injuries in the Hornets/Memphis game where is the defense gonna come from? It could very well turn into a playground game and wouldn't you say that would turn the game over? I was looking at the line and figured if someone really saw an edge in the under how come the line hasen't moved yet? I've been looking at this total to make a play and I'm starting to think the over has some value.

**jgbgsox** · 02-09-09, 05:55 PM

anythony im thinking the same with all these guys out the under should have dropped 4-5 points but it hasnt

**hockeytown11** · 02-09-09, 05:58 PM

9 of the last 11 Calgary night games have went over the total,in 7 of those 1 of the teams had at least 4 goals on their own, 5 of the7 home games in January went over the total for the Flames, the over is 1-1 so far in Feb home games for the Flames but 1-0 at night.

Montreal is a defensive mess their last 6 road games they have given up 4,4,4,5,5,3 and if you count their last game a home game they allowed 5 to a crappy Leafs team

hope this helps

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 06:01 PM

well hockey, you're busting my cherry in hockey as i just played mont/calg over 5.5 here we go with my first ever hockey play. good luck. i'm thinking of laying off nba til after the break. just too erratic the week before the break. DEX, i can't find the tourney link again. did they move it AGAIN?

**anthonydiamondLC** · 02-09-09, 06:01 PM

Yeah jgb, I'm gonna play the over for myself right now. I'm not gonna list it as one of the plays for this CK competition, but I'm going with the over.

**hockeytown11** · 02-09-09, 06:03 PM

the rangers play is more of a value play,I believe the Rangers are as good as the Devs even tho records say otherwise,Rags have already won in Jersey once this year and of late the Devs and Rags are BOTH struggling,Rags still have bad taste in mouth from 10-2 loss a few nights ago and I am hoping the Devils are looking ahead to Martys return in a 2 weeks. If you give me 2 equal teams(imo) I will take the plus 145.

yep, interesting that the total has not dropped. Apparently NOH have gone over the total 3-0 since CP3 went down as well.

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 06:05 PM

seems as tho everyone has calmed down and the thread is back to being what is was meant to be started for in the first place. peace at last. let's hope it stays this way. so much more gets accomplished this way. thanks gang

**hockeytown11** · 02-09-09, 06:10 PM

anyone like any college tonight?

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 06:11 PM

anyone have any info on Shaq's status tonight? Is he sitting given it's a B2B

**Dexter** · 02-09-09, 06:19 PM

he doesnt sit on btb anymore - that was a plan early in the season, but the suns realize they cant give up any ground in the competitive west

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 06:22 PM

Thanks Dex

btw, Clips now a pick em at my book.

**showtime2000** · 02-09-09, 06:29 PM

Well, i see hockeytown's view on the Rangers tonight. Rangers were 6-1SU versus NJ last year and 2-2 so far this year. Rangers have been on a scoring slump and i see that changing tonight. Lunquist has been playing well during their slump(aside from the Pit game). I like Rangers aswell and putting a small play on the Over with the Under set -145, i will gladly fade the public on this.
Will add the Over in Mon/Cal.

**schaapattack** · 02-09-09, 06:36 PM

mizzou now -5

**showtime2000** · 02-09-09, 06:38 PM

Adding,
Philadelphia -2.5
LA clips pk

**oBaMa_MaNiA** · 02-09-09, 06:38 PM

Let's go Memphis today.

Cavs look great in their next game!

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 06:46 PM

cavs are THE PLAY their next game fo' sho'

**jaymac82980** · 02-09-09, 06:50 PM

ive been mentioning the over for this memphis/no game all day. Both teams have been killing the over lately. Without chris paul, there is less defense (in case you dont know, he is one of the leaders in steals in the NBA). The over is the good spot. Just because some guys are missing deosn't always mean less scoring. Grizzlies suck anyways. lose some of their regular losers, and maybe they'll play better, especially with less D from the other team.

**Dexter** · 02-09-09, 06:52 PM

booked plays-

clippers +1 (big)
sixers -3.5

**moneygrip** · 02-09-09, 06:53 PM

I'm trying real hard to talk myself off both of my leans tonight. CLIPPERS & 76ers - but i just can't do it. Clips have been just plain nasty the last 2 games, and i think it's spmething to do with talented players getting back into the mix. Randolph/Camby/Thornton are a mean ass frontcourt. Gordon is coming on super-strong and Baron is back in the fold. meanwhile we got the Bobby's struggling without GW and now they lose Raja - plus they're on b2b!!! damn, i gotta take the Clipshow. 76ers is a little less clear cut. Suns have not been horrible and they need this game as they go to Cle next! every game counts as they're odd man out in the west as of now. They are 14-11 on the road this yr (not bad) and have'nt been horrible playing b2b. on the other hand 76ers have been great at home of late. since the newyear they are 8-3 @ home with total combined deficit of 5 points in the 3 losses. plus suns are on b2b and a bit of dissarray with trade winds swirling. in the end RLM in both games is the clincher for me.

today's card:

LAC PK
PHI -3

tough pill to swallow

gl gents

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 06:55 PM

booked det+2 as i don't think the line will move in my fav by gametime so i jumped on it now

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 06:58 PM

76'ers are -3.5 at greek now

**haserfauld** · 02-09-09, 07:00 PM

Booked:

Memphis ML (grabbed early) 1.4U to win 1U
76ers -2 (b1) 1.3U to win 1U
76ers 1st Q -1 1.15U to win 1U
Clippers +4 (B2) 4.5U to win 4U
Clippers/Cats over 195 2.4U to win 2U

Two 2U teasers: (somehow 7 for 7 on teasers this week in nba, despite heavy losses earlier on celtics, cavs, and magic. teasing the dogs has been mostly what gave me a + week)

Clippers +8 / over 189

and:

Clippers +10
Hornets +11.5
Rockets +3
Suns +12.5

I don't see any of the games tonight being more than 10 points lopsided with the possible exception of rockets, which is why i didn't tease the dog in that case.

GL to all and thanks to all the skillfull cappers in here for their wise picks

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 07:00 PM

Hey hockey, the site i place my bets on likes to jack up the hockey lines and I was wondering if you think it is still a decent play betting the Mon/ Calgary over if the line is 5.5 -125?

**nonsense48** · 02-09-09, 07:03 PM

B, that's what it is at the greek also. i took it

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 07:04 PM

ok thanks
