Adding 2x spread, 1x ml.

Adding 2x spread, 1x ml.

What a comeback.

Houston had the worst 2H I've ever seen. Ever.

[t-wizzle]

Yea the points by quarter was funny. I didn't watch, probably a good thing.

[Seto]

Liking anything for tomorrow yet?

Thought I hated the card initially but actually I kinda like Lakers, Cavs, Magic, Knicks

Not sure yet I'm going to see once all the lines open.

Initial thoughts:

The Heat should roll the Sixers tonight. There is a revenge factor and I think we are getting good value on Miami which isn't usually the case. The problem is that you'd have to back a struggling team which can be dicey.


Why is Toronto only -2 over Minnesota? Vegas loves the T-Wolves. It's kind of getting silly to be honest. Yea sometimes they look great but they are really unpredictable. The value obviously lies with the Raptors here.


The Bulls are probably a good play with the Wizards coming off a beatdown of the Heat but not sure how crazy I am about taking them.


Did the Pistons get through their shitty stretch of basketball finally? They played awful for a while but won their last two before this 6 day break. Utah is hot but this might be a bad spot for them.


Grizzlies line is short. Kings ran into a buzzsaw in Indiana but they are playing decent right now.


Books like San Antonio. I kind of do as well.


Denver is hot right now. Like I've said all year, they are the streakiest team in the league. A great fade when playing poorly and a good team to back when playing well.


I like Thunder -1.5 even though that line absolutely screams Golden State.

[RavensFan2k3]

I agree with all except Raptors and Thunder

[No coincidences]

Does the Clipper line seem short to you? I figured NY would be +5.5.

Nah not without CP3. Clips lines have been about 2 pts lower since he went out.

[RavensFan2k3]

you think so? I thought the lines have been identical without CP. So yeah, I did actually think the line was short also given all of the Knicks recent injuries

[Fernburn74]

San Antonio. Miami. Like them tonight

[Seto]

You think they would've only been favored by 8 over Orlando at home with CP3? Really?

Kings +5.5 -101 (4x); ML +195 (1x)

Spurs -6 -102 (3x)

t-wizzle did you watched OKC @ Houston ??
Did K. Durant look very tired to you ?? Or he did rest in 4th quarter ?

I did not watch. I'm laying off okc.

I added to kings.

We were right with our LEAN on OKC....
K.Durant is a BEAST...

Can Miami Win without L.James ?? Yes they can....
Can OKC win without K.Durant ?? not that often...

[t-wizzle]

One thing we know is that Spurs are really struggling against the better competition.

I know that, i was just expecting a revenge, after loosing by 10 last time vs Portland...
In the beggining i said OKC would destroy Spurs in playoffs again, people laugh at me...

OKC need a post player at present, have a good one for the future.
and a SMART coach, this one is a dumbs ass... am not watching games, but i guess he didnt change lol

[Seto]

Blazers are 4-0 against the Spurs and Thunder but only 11-7 against the rest of the West. Funny stat.

I'm still not sold on them. I mean I just don't think a team can go from not making the playoffs to being elite all of a sudden.

When was the last team either of those guys missed an extended period of time though if ever?

Portland wont go FAR in playoffs, because they live and die by 3 points... and as you may know teams are defensive beasts on the playoffs...

I think what i said is a fact... Miami have have a deep team...


I have to ask sorry about my english... but i am rusty....

Agreed on Blazers. I have gone on record on this site saying they would be a 4 seed max (and zero chance for a 1-2 seed) and win 1 playoff series max so hopefully I'm right on both counts lmao. Although come to think of it as a Mavs fan I want them to have a top seed, I think Mavs could beat them in a series. Mavs have ZERO chance against Spurs or OKC though. Tough decision, good matchup for my team or "being right"?

Yeah, what I meant is that we don't know cause it's never happened. But I would agree that OKC would probably struggle more w/o KD.

[t-wizzle]

Let's see what happens if a key player goes down on Portland. They lack some depth.

They are done if that happens. Worst bench in the league?

Gotta think the minutes will eventually start wearing on some of their guys too.

Bulls -8.5 -103 (3x)

Timberwolves -10.5 -107 (2x)

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

If either Lebron or Durant goes down in the playoffs, neither team has a chance.

[t-wizzle]

I'll try to tally up the thread tomorrow but I know this was another good week.

I think we know that for a fact given how quiet this thread has been lol.

[t-wizzle]
