CK'S Back on the NBA Threads anthonydiamondLC Leans for Monday 2/9/09

I'm taking the Clippers for the 2H. I still think they win outright. Okafor has gotten some lucky bounces on the rim and if he gets fouled, he won't shoot 75% for the game. Charlotte is not that great offensively (IMO), especially with who they have on the floor and all the Clippers need to do is get one or two stops and they'll be fine. All the stats are pretty much the same so I'm going with the team that has more talent on the floor and that's the Clippers.

**jaymac82980** · 02-09-09, 08:10 PM

I honestly dont know how anyone can watch that charlotte.LAC game on television. I yell at the tv when I see professional players miss two free throws in row...I can only imagine how loud I'd be yelling watching them miss wide open lay ups.

All of this sounds good but Charlotte is a little better than you think and the Clippers are slightly more talented but they have this confidence problem, THEY ARE THE CLIPPERS!!!!!!

Yeah you might have broken your tv watching Zack Randolph miss a wide open dunk!!

**ram1502** · 02-09-09, 08:14 PM

You guys might wanna take notice to BigMoneyMan's system which was referenced earlier by CK. I started tracking his system yesterday. There were 10 games and his system only had 4 plays....going 3-1. Not too shabby if you ask me

On a different note, is there gonna be a goal in this Rangers/Devils game?

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 08:15 PM

lol did anyone just see Mcgrady miss that break away dunk?

I didn't expect anything else to be honest, except maybe the Clips to be in tune with each other a little more than they are. Still think they roll. Clips have a big quarter in them scoring wise, don't feel the same about the bobs

True, but I like the way they've been playing. I think Charlotte is good when they're healthy but with the team they're fielding now, I like the Clippers chances.

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 08:17 PM

We shall see, my bigger bet was on the under which looks promising

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 08:19 PM

I think with the talent they have if they changed their name to the Lakers they might win the title this year!!

**flavo-ice** · 02-09-09, 08:19 PM

clipps -1 2h isn't an inspiring vote of confidence from the books in terms of the clipps winning straight up.

hope you're right...1-0 NJ

**maddogmadden86** · 02-09-09, 08:33 PM

going with hocketown with the over 5.5 in the flames game these teams goalies give up 6 combined i see this being a shoot out

PLaying Kansas +5, kansas has beaten up on the teams missouri has lost to or come close to losing too, simply put kansas is playing great ball right now and i will take those points

**repski** · 02-09-09, 08:37 PM

Sessions can ball

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 08:40 PM

anyone would think it was the clippers who are on the b2b at the moment.

**repski** · 02-09-09, 08:41 PM

Larry Brown is coaching...his team is playing D...unlike ATL and Memphis

**anthonydiamondLC** · 02-09-09, 08:43 PM

I really liked the Larry Brown factor in this game. Don't underestimate the value of a veteran coach who knows how to win. Especially going up against a bad team in the Clippers. Not over yet, but I like where I see this game heading.

**haserfauld** · 02-09-09, 08:46 PM

this game is brutal. so much for the over!

**Karayilan9** · 02-09-09, 08:48 PM

BCaldwell you watching Houston 1st QTR! just like we predicted, you gave me that added confidence to take the Bucks + the points, I was gonna fade the game but looking at Housont on the road faded them 1st QTR

**repski** · 02-09-09, 08:53 PM

clips cant buy a 3..

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 08:55 PM

I think the Clips are trying to lose lol.....

**haserfauld** · 02-09-09, 08:57 PM

9:13 CHA - C. Martin misses a layup 9:24 CHA - B. Diaw defensive rebound 9:26 LAC - F. Jones misses a layup
story of the game :|

**anthonydiamondLC** · 02-09-09, 08:58 PM

This is why I don't know why so many people liked the Clippers tonight. They are one of the worst franchises in sports. They are a poster child for inconsistency.

**jaymac82980** · 02-09-09, 08:58 PM

I'll go grab that white flag.......clippers - they who we thought they were. haha

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 08:59 PM

Omg this is shocking....

Picked up another good win today guys and gals! Let's add another tomorrow:

line: lac@cha 195.5
pick: 195.5 over

Juicy trends that support my pick:

- The over for the Clips is 18-8 on road games.
- The over is 13-5 for the Clips in non-conference games.
- The over is 11-7 for the Bobcats in non-conference games.
- The over is 6-0 for both teams in the month of February.
- The over is 9-1 combined for both teams in the last 5 games.

I find both teams to be underrated scoring teams. The Clips are finally healthy and are getting some of their groove back. The Bobcats on the other hand lost Bell for a few games but had their rookie scorer Augustin back in form. They also got that powerless forward from the Lakers who can light it up from beyond the arc. The firepower will be more than enough: Clips - Bdiddy/Thornton/Zach/Gordon vs. Bobcats - Felton/Diaw/Vlad/Augustin. Expect both teams to get caught up in a defenseless game of basketball tomorrow my friends!

wow baron davis just s*cks! unbelievable! one of the ugliest games of this season!!!

Very well done sir, glad we could get that money.

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 09:04 PM

the sad thing is none of us can moan because we put our money on the Clippers. What a sucker bet.

**BCaldwell32** · 02-09-09, 09:04 PM

Looks like only game I lost today is gonna be West Virginia, 2 of their best players fouled out early and they had no chance.

**RoagBettor** · 02-09-09, 09:06 PM

I had Charlotte. The Clippers shat their load on this trip already. When you try to use pure logic to cap that's what the bookies love because it doesn't work over the long term.

**jaymac82980** · 02-09-09, 09:07 PM

kansas anyone?

**lambogb** · 02-09-09, 09:07 PM

WHY DO WE KEEP BETTING ON SCRUBS!!!!!!

**ANDYW15** · 02-09-09, 09:09 PM

some of these Clips need to lay off the chicken wings as well..
