Adding: Rockets ML -118 (3x)

This is a huge game for Houston and I consider them a Western Conference contender. They are known for playing little defense and an up-tempo style but they have shown they can score in the halfcourt set as well. I expect a big fourth quarter tonight in which they make some big plays to pull away and win by about 7-10 points.

I'm all aboard the Rockets spaceship tonight. Hopefully we have a Lift Off.

are you guys seeing HOU as favorites tonight? Some books still have HOU +1 and pregame is reporting that 60% of wagering is on MIA. If Rockets are favorites, then that could be some wacky RLM. Makes me feel even better about this pick.

You been watching the GS/Indy game at all? Warriors 2nd half looks like a play from what I've seen but Indy has another gear in the 2nd half at home that scares me a bit...

I'm not watching. I guess you are watching online? I am half-watching the Rockets game.

The line indicated Pacers were gonna lose tonight but I didn't wanna bet on Golden State because I am simply not a huge fan of that squad.

Yeah I have NBA League Pass.

I know and I didn't agree at first but I'm starting to think like you. One thing we've agreed on from the start though is that Iggy sucks. 12 million lol.

Lol yup. I'm well aware that he is solid on defense but he is a black hole on offense. He can't shoot worth a lick (although like anyone he can get hot but at the core, he is an awful shooter) and his overall game isn't getting better at the age of 30.

I tried to explain to Goat Milk last year that Denver made an awful trade giving up Afflalo and Harrington for him. For starters, you're losing two scorers but more importantly, he wasn't that much better than Afflalo as a perimeter defender.

Tried to tell our old pal Goatie that perimeter defenders are not the basis of a good defense in this league. You need a presence at the rim and a team that plays great team defense and can move and close out.

Holy shit thank god.

Rockets almost blew it but another great night

**NBA Maniac** · 03-04-14, 10:31 PM

just 1 question.

**Seto** · 03-04-14, 10:31 PM

Good job. You nailed this game regardless of that freakshow at the end.

Bucks should get back to their losing ways tomorrow. Memphis should beat the Nets.

**BigDofBA** · 03-04-14, 11:23 PM

Haven't been keeping up since I'm on a break until Vegas next month but it looks like this guy is red hot this year.

**GzPlex** · 03-06-14, 01:20 AM

Nice picks

**t-wizzle** · 03-06-14, 04:50 PM

I have returned from the ban. Nice to be back in the NBA subforum.

I had a play on the Bobcats +5.5 last night for 2 units. Posted it on the spreadsheet yesterday around 5:00 or so. Whether or not it counts toward my record doesn't really matter (we're talking about a 2 unit play here) but I have it on my spreadsheet and that is where I record all my nba plays.

I need to think a little more about that one but I have liked Spurs all day.

For the stupid back and forth with crusty/smoke.

I don't care about being banned but the admins/mods are ignoring my requests to discuss the matter.

Do you usually wait just an hour or so before tip off to make your bets? Sometimes I make bets too early and regret it...

Also, do you know a site that shows information or potential red flags (ex. this team is playing 4 games in 5 nights) all on one site. Something like that would be valuable.

I make them at various times. Sometimes I get a play in early before the line moves in the morning. Most of my plays this year have been posted well ahead of tip.

This one might be different.

**t-wizzle** · 03-06-14, 08:11 PM

Spurs -3.5 -105 (3x)
Spurs TT Over 104.5 -110 (2x)
Heat/Spurs Over 206 -107 (1x)

Pretty sure this is the first Game Total I have bet all year. I think the Spurs are going to shoot the lights out tonight. They are playing well right now. Their ball movement is crisp and Danny Green has come alive. Getting Kawhi Leonard back was HUGE. Parker coming back goes without saying.

I still don't buy them as a title contender this year but it's just one game tonight. San Antonio will win.

**t-wizzle** · 03-06-14, 09:05 PM

Suns +6 -103 (2x)

**t-wizzle** · 03-06-14, 10:37 PM

This game is the perfect example of why I stopped betting totals.

Looking over tomorrow night's card. Curious to see Pinny's line on Pacers/Rockets.

I think Dallas is a play. Dirk said after they lost to the Spurs on Sunday they have to start beating playoff teams and their attention turns to Portland on Friday so it really looks to me like these clowns just overlooked Denver yesterday. Plus which Portland spanked them last time in Dallas. Line is pretty telling too.

You're not gonna like this but I think your Mavs are in trouble pal.
