Leans for Tuesday 2/24/09 schaapattack Week

[pho3nix32]

That is the correct call, Pho3nix32

finally some ray of sunshine today. i was really drained today by those wtf plays. glad to know your on the same side CK

[BigDownUnder]

Am fu*kin peeved after the results last night - had a brilliant start (Serra won in tennis, Tottenham in soccer, Querry in tennis) then Harris had to sh1t all over my night with that fluke half court three-point shot on buzzer (i swear i will never benefit from such a fluke ever when i need it to go my way) AND Martin hit two late 3 pointers to give Kings get a back door cover by half a friggin point AARGGGHH. Been punching myself i am so angry, i am so f´ing angry

[BigDownUnder]

Early tennis play for you all - and a very very strong one at that.

Pick: Troiki to beat Bollelli in atp dubai @1.61
Why? Players going in opposite direction right now. Troicki in great form, he beat Boleli 6-3 6-4 earlier this month and went on to reach semis in that tournament then win the following tournament. Bolleli not stringing together any stretch of wins this year. Only factor could be fatigue so book this one with a company that voids bets in event of a retired player.

More tennis, NBA and maybe soccer picks to come!

Bolleli owning Troicki at moment - hopefully Troicki tanks it to void the bet!

the mavs are 4-1 ats the last 5 games in sa, and have won 3 of the 5 games su (2 losses were by 3 and 2 pts). now they catch the spurs on their first home game off of an 8 game west/east coast trip. projected line of +5.5

mavs (big)

i will continue to play the suns over until a game stays under.

over suns (big)

[peterpan19]

ok I made a few adjustments and right now it looks like I will play:
Orl (big, but how big ?)
Det (they always play great against Mia and they just need a win here, I will take the points and the ML here)
Lak (small, if I can get em at -7, why not ? Okc is cold and Lakers well they will cover again sooner or later why not today ?)
Hou (they own Por, 4-2 ATS and 8-1 SU, come on hou is on fire and Por too, but Hou it is)
Dal (dex said eveything, long road trip for SA, might even make a play on the ML here)

laying off Tor and Pho for now, Tor I dont know, Pho mhh... I mean they have revenge going and are playing fast ball right now, puhh that over might be the best call here dex

[Dexter]

*the jazz have covered 5 straight games - all at home. kinda pissed i only got a few dollars from that stretch. the jazz, warriors and nuggets are my favorite home teams to play.

[Dexter]

Wed/2-25

*i have some light leans right now on the knicks, and kings for tomorrow - but need to see tonights games to solidify my oponion.

the jazz have been red hot at home, but they catch a twolves team playing btb traveling from tor to minny. boozer is back, and the jazz may go on a sick ats run with their whole squad healthy again. classic blowout. projected line of -9.

-jazz
_______________
the hawks will be on their 6th and final game of this west coast trip - and they have the difficult task of playing in denver who is off a su loss. hungry to get back in the win column, and get revenge for a thumping they took in atl (15 pt loss) earlier in the year - the nuggets should roll by 15+. projected line of -7.5.

-nuggets (big) *i may reduce this to a normal play depending on how i do tonight

[texhooper]

houston
okc
orlando
dallas
charlotte

not terribly fond of the card, so i'll just leave it at that.

good luck.

AND I NEED YOU MORE TONIGHT...I ****IN NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER....

hey dex, is the nuggets pick with the consideration of nene's injury?

[Dexter]

hey dex, is the nuggets pick with the consideration of nene's injury?

thanks phx - didnt realize he was out for 2 weeks. i will prob only go larger depending on how my 2 plays do tonight.

[FORMULA FORTE]

Party time dude!

Cle
orl
lal

[shoebox]

thx dex mavs are the right call im a moron
forgot they had a long road trip, and o yeah ginobli is out.....

[Dexter]

i'm gonna wait on this suns total - with a defensive team like the bobcats, the under may get played.

[Ditaln1]

What ya guys think about Orlando ML tonight? Going against a bulls team that are trying to mix in their 2 new additions. They lost on the road to a Indiana team w/o Granger and Dunleavy. Thoughts?

[shoebox]

Cavs win tonite with ease, as I stated weeks ago west somehow makes there offense into a force to be reckoned with. Cavs win this one by 20+
Booked
Cavs -13

[OperatorX]

After getting absolutely thrashed last night by Devin Harris and the play of the hawks.. its time to make it back.. I'm going big on the Toronto Raptors tonight. Bosh will be starting to play better after coming off his injury and should be a force to be reckoned with as there is really nobody down low to stop him tonight. The Bosh/Marion tandum is starting to come together after a horrific start. Toronto really is a team of momentum and now's the time for them as they are running out. Losing to a team like Minnesota would be essentially throwing in the towel on the season. Toronto raptors -5.5 (1 point buy)

[BigDownUnder]

I'm feeling inspired after being swept by the books today. Which is why today I will deviate from my usual routine and post 2 picks instead of 1. The books are going to pay for those "wtf" games today. Now on to my picks:

line: ptb@hr 191
pick: 191 under

Going back to trends analysis:

- The under for Portland is 11-7 when playing on the road this season.
- The under for Portland is 5-1 after playing 3 consecutive home games.
- The under for Portland is 4-1 the last 5 games.
- The under for Houston is 17-11 at home.
- Head to head, the under is 4-0 on games played in Houston the last 3 seasons.

The second half of this season is all about playoff positioning. The Blazers and Rockets are #'s 4 and 5 respectively in the West. The Rockets now know that Tmac is out for the season. This means that their rotation is finally set. Battier and Artest will be logging more minutes and we all know what these 2 guys can do on D. On the Blazers side, it is also a well known fact that Mcmillan is a tough defensive-minded coach. I expect these young Blazers to play scrappy defense as well. Look forward to a defensive-type of ballgame tomorrow as these 2 teams jock for position to gain homecourt advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Extra play:

line: mt@tr 210
pick: 210 over

Trends:

- The over is 16-8 for the Twolves against teams with a losing record this season.
- The over is 15-8 for the Twolves against teams with poor defense.
- The over is 7-3 for the Twolves on both the month of February and Tuesdays this season.
- The over is 4-1 for the Twolves in the last 5 games.
- The over is 17-9 for the Raptors against good offensive teams this season.

I would like to quote how Phil Jackson described the Twolves after their last meeting: "They want to get it to Telfair and Foye, get the ball up the court and find some shots,". He described the Twolves play as "loose net". The term means an "NBA tactic of years past when home teams that wanted to run supposedly had loose nets through which the ball would speed so one of their players could grab it immediately after a made basket and get started back the other way". I believe this does not need further explanation. As for the Raptors, their GM is named Colangelo, the same guy who put together D'Antoni, Nash, Marion and Amare back in Phoenix and they just ran everybody out of the building. His philosophy is still the same. He traded for Marion and now we have a healthy Calderon at the point. Expect these 2 ballclubs to light up the scoreboards tomorrow my friends.

i was looking at the twolves/raptors over too but just noticed that the line went from 210 to 207.5. anybody know the reason for this? did a major injury happen or is this crazy line movement?

[BigDownUnder]

im following you down under just because you started off the day rough.. its all winning from here.

Thanks mate, keen to bounce back from last night and Troicki this morning. Quite confident on all the picks. Am from Sydney though currently in London

[hockeytown11]

I played 1 champions league soccer game for big money today

barca/lyon over 2.5

also smaller plays on

inter/man u over 2
porto +255
arsenal -120

[cocknocker]

What ya guys think about Orlando ML tonight? Going against a bulls team that are trying to mix in their 2 new additions. They lost on the road to a Indiana team w/o Granger and Dunleavy. Thoughts?

The Magic are the wrong call today. The Bulls have enough live bodies and length now to deal with what the Magic are doing offensively. Miller will force Howard to come out of the paint and guard him shooting jumpers. No free chicken dinners tonight. What looks easy often is very much the contrary

[Ditaln1]

I know nothing about Champions League soccer, I'll ride you with those Picks HT!

[hockeytown11]

I know some,nothing like pucks but I do follow it and all I know is Barcelona is a scoring machine,last year they played Lyon in this round and the scores were 3-0 and 2-2, Arsenal RARELY has a home defeat(they do draw a lot and a draw is a loss for the wager I made) but I am hoping for them to get the W. Porto is playing real well right now they have won 5 of last 10 on road(in soccr this is as good as it gets for road wins) and Athetico is not been good at all lately so at +255 I figured wtf and ManU is banged up defensively and their offense almost always scores so I figured at a total of only 2 it was worth a shot.

[BigMoneyMan]

nice thread ck

time to bet the raps for a while;; marion trade should do wonders for them;; joneal and bosh did not compliment eaach other;;
TOR -6.5;; LAL let minny hang around the other day;; who knows when the lakers decide to cover;;

also some food for thot;;

BRISTOL, CT—Craig Kilborn, the former host of The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn, actor from the film The Benchwarmers, and SportsCenter anchor from 1993 to 1997, was spotted at 5:30 a.m. this morning broke, homeless, and passed out in front of ESPN's SportsCenter studios.
According to ESPN sources, Kilborn appeared even thinner and more frail than usual, reeked of cigarette smoke and gin, and his clothes—a moth-eaten dark suit that may have been the same one he wore in his last-ever SportsCenter appearance—were in tatters. Kilborn was reportedly only wearing one shoe at the time of his discovery.
Onlookers stated that, upon being woken

Dude that's a joke from the Onion. You really didn't believe that did you? Anyway had a great day yesterday and looking to follow it up today. I will be back with picks later. Lets get them today!!
