2013/14 NBA Thread

The only player on that Suns team a can truly accept as an elite player is Dragic. Every single other player I expect to be shit the next game.....but they never are

thats not true. The Morris Twins are nice.especially when they are on the floor together. Suns are straight balling in the stacked West with no #1 option

[RodAdvance]

Spurs-3 -110 (william hill) (risking 7.7x to win 7x)
Tim Duncan over 16.5 AND the Spurs to win +240 (william hill) (risking 0.63x to win 1.5x)
Spurs-8.5 +200 (william hill) (risking 0.5x to win 1x)
Spurs-20.5 +1000 (william hill) (risking 0.1x to win 1x)

Time for the Spurs to get their first big win of the season.

Great call

Are you a Suns fan? I actually feel bad for hating your team so much. It's not fair.

It's probably just a 1-year thing though. Got nothing against the franchise. Just this particular group of guys make me want to throw up whenever I watch them play.

I never loved any sports team more than the Steve Nash era Suns, it's the reason I kind of hate the Spurs lol. Don't really give a shit now, like you said there are some players there that I can't stand also most notable Gerald Green he's so ugly smh.

Ha I didn't follow very closely at their peak so I can't really say much about that team when they were good as a team. Did follow Nash's last 2 years as a sun though, always fun to watch.

Teams that overachieve annoy me. I'm not sure why? maybe I'm so hell bent on being right every time I call out a team for overachieving I just want them to lose and lose and lose more

Mavs-1.5 -112 (888sport) (risking 2.34x to win 2.11x)
Mavs-2 -108 (marathonbet) (risking 1.49x to win 1.39x)

[Seto]

Grizzlies/Bulls largest lead under 14 -115 (5dimes) (risking 1.15x to win 1x)

[DOM-Ganador]

With all the like movement on Bulls/Grizz, it seems like its going to be the Grizz tonight.
I know you don`t like fading the Bulls @ home, but tonight seems like the night.

I think I am going to wait for halftime in Houston, as I feel those guys are total frontrunners.
If Indy is winning at half and decent dogs second half, that will be a play for me.

I can all but guarantee I won't be getting anywhere near that Indy/Houston game. I kinda like Houton but I can't bet on these jokers unless I'm really sure about what I'm doing.

I dunno about Memphis. Just think it'll be a close game.

[DOM-Ganador]

Nice again. Did that lead ever sniff 10?
Had the Grizz and Bobs as well.
2x on Dallas ML tailing, seems like the Blazers forgot there was a game tonight.
See Carlisle keeping the boys in line with the nice lead.

I'm still not relaxed at all. Portland is a piece of shit team that always makes fluky comebacks and the team they LOVE doing it against is Dallas.

I'll be relaxed if it's 45 at any point or if it's 25 with under 3 minutes to go. lol.

[Seto]

Oh look, Dallas can't get a rebound to save their fukking lives again.

The 1st quarter newfound edge on the glass was just an illusion I guess.

[DOM-Ganador]

Dude , chill. Of course Portlands gonna make some runs.
Its early, but like I said, Rick is going to keep the boys focused.

Haha I can't chill on this game. I'm avoiding posting so as not to annoy the board too much with my cursing and whining.

[DOM-Ganador]

You1re a funny FUKK....
I used to go to the UK every year for business.
Did shows up in Birminghan at the NEC.
Always took a few days in London as well.
Had a dear friend who passed last month from Mancester.
He would have been the only reason I ever went back. Food, weather not my cuppa.

[Seto]

I hate that piece of shit Aldridge so much. Does this shit against Dallas EVERY FUKKING TIME.

He'd been slumping too so it was pretty much a guarantee he'd have a big game today.

This was a 30-point lead. 30.

[Seto]

Can these pieces of shit at least pretend to rebound?

Man this is fukking embarassing. Fukk them.

[Seto]

[Seto]

Every single one of these idiots should be fined 10 years salary for this.

[unitedlad]

How about get rid of the other 8 men and just have Aldridge v Dirk?

[DOM-Ganador]

WOW.47-21 run to start 2nd. Ouch.

[Seto]

Calderon and Ellis just threw away everything their teammates did to get the lead back by taking long contested bricks early into the shot clock. Fukking bozos.

[DOM-Ganador]

Bring your big boy pants ....they letting them play.
1 more stop....
Almost 4 minutes Portland scoreless.

[DOM-Ganador]

Sweet ginger brown.

[unitedlad]

Ellis is and forever will be a loser. Missing 2 FTs in a game like this is seriously pathetic.

What a way to win a bet that never should have been in doubt.

[Seto]

Being a Mavs fan is very bad for your heart. Very very bad.

Betting on them also makes it even harder.

Needing Portland to lose for a future makes it fukking unbearable.

But yeah, they came through

[Seto]

He did the same shit in Cleveland, bricked 2 free throws up 3...

But I'm used to it OJ Mayo was the same last year.

[Seto]

Today: 3-0, +4.5x
Total: 191-188-6, +92.47x

[DOM-Ganador]

Buddy, I have an open end on a teaser. Hit the first 2 in college hoops, of course didn`t need the points in either.

Have 8 points on a 5x unit bet.

Thinking taking Memphis down to -1 as the line has been jumping all day, and the Bobbies just had the good win and ain`t the same team
when away. I realise Memphis had problems at home earlier in the year, but seem to have righted the ship.

Thoughts??

[unitedlad]

What do you make of Mavs tonight Seto? You gotta think they are going to come in to this match up super concentrated after the slip the other night. Also Pacers can't seem to find the answer at all at the moment.

Also, I know we're both not the biggest fans of the Suns (along with half the forum) but I think 7.5 points is awful generous. Would this game not be close to a pickem in Phoenix?

As always appreciate your opinions.

[unitedlad]

Like Portland getting 5.5 in Houston tonight. They know this is a great chance for them to draw level in the conference standings. Houston coming off a blow out win against title contenders, and Portland coming off a tough loss (silly calling it that, considering they were down 30, but you know what I mean).

Really some great match ups tonight!! Looking forward to most the games.

Fuk I missed this... Didn't bet NBA yesterday.

Hope you took Memphis.

I'm a bit "scared" of that game as a fan. Pacers are the type of physical team the Mavs typically do not like playing, especially at home ironically. I posted some thoughts in No Coin's thread the other day:

I'm a Dallas fan and I do think they will lose that game. Just not enough to fade them. I only fade my team when I'm really sure of what I'm doing cause I feel like a real prick when I lose (like I did when I recently faded them v detroit).

Like you said Indiana will destroy them on the glass. That much I can all but guarantee.

Dirk could go off on Indiana's bigs though. Indy struggle with big men who can pick and pop I think. Wouldn't swear by it though.

As for the Suns, I think the line is mainly because GS has been very hot since the All-star break and the books are, kinda like us waiting for the Suns to slip. Their lines haven't been the kind of lines you'd expect out of a 36-25 team. I'm not sure I can really touch that game - GS may be due a tough one though so you could be on the right track.

Funnily enough I do hope the Suns win, this may be the ONE game for the rest of the season where I do. Gotta root in Clips for the division and the earlier it's over the better for me.

You should be able to get 6 for that one. I'm "mad" at the Rockets since they scored 19 in the 2H against OKC in January (wasn't the first time they'd fukked me too) and I'm not even sure I've bet any of their games since lol. I've just accepted I can't figure out that team.

Yup fun games coming up. Much better than yesterday lol.

[Seto]

Ha, it looks like the 2-3 weeks of the year where EST is 4 hours instead of 5 back have started. Didn't realise game had started.

[unitedlad]

It was Bulls or nothing for me. Didn't touch it.
