CK Mafia Leans for 3/1/09..

[mb19]

bos/det over 178.5
Boston very short handed in the front court with KG and Scalabrine out. One would imagine starbury would play more today meaning they are even worse on D.

[shoebox]

-----> Warriors +6 (1 point buy) [HUGEMONGOUS]

Thats the wrong call rep, Jazz are healthy now, the other game was a fluke. The Jazz historically own and I mean own GS. They run better than GS. Plus, Jackson is out, Ellis is probable. GS does not match up well with the Jazz.

Dont say you werent warned

[BCaldwell32]

The Celtics have won and covered all 3 games this season against Detroit. They are not likely to change that trend this time. Detroit will come back to reality after beating Orlando and show us how pathetic they really are.

Boston 98-85

New Orleans has won three straight for the first time in more than a month, though it has dropped four straight and seven of nine ATS. The Hornets have also stumbled in six of seven on the road ATS. New Jersey looks to avenge a 10-point loss in the Big Easy as five-point dogs. The Nets are 5-2 ATS at home of late.

New Jersey 97-95

The Rockets are 5-0-1 ATS recently against the T-Wolves and the favorite has cashed at a 7-0-1 pace in the series. Houston won as 5 1/2-point favorites in their first trip, 109-102, and the Rockets covered in the rematch as 7 1/2-point faves, 107-90. Minnesota has lost in nine of its last 11 ATS. Houston is playing very well lately and Minnesota is god awful everywhere!!

Houston 105-96

[AdaBarber]

BCaldwell, if you check my post on the first page I am with you on all three picks. GL
One of my leans was NJ ML!

[repski]

Houston -5
The Rockets suffered last night a brutal loss in Chicago. They lost 102-105 in a game where they were outscored 14-34 in the fourth quarter blowing up a 17 point lead. In fact they were outscored 23-3 in the final 5' minutes, never stopping the Bulls again in the 11 possession after the Rockets took a 99-82 lead with 5:51 remaining. Naturally this team will be fired up for today to make a bounce back. The big problem of yesterday loss was that Yao Ming didn't touch the ball down the stretch, he took just one second-half shot, none in the fourth quarter and the Rockets were a mere jump shooting team.
Minnesota is struggling right now. Despite the fact that this isn't a good for spot for the Rockets as this is a back to back game, the Rockets are 5-1 ATS (3-0 ATS on the road) in back to back games after a loss. The Wolves are 1-9 L10 games and 0-5 L5 games, without Al Jefferson they don't have any reliable scorer and facing top teams who are hungry they didn't have any chance.

Just look for what happened last game against the Blazers, they were 4.5 points underdogs just to be spanked at home by 20 points. Note that the Blazers were coming from back to back losses vs Rockets.

This is the third game between these 2 teams and the Rockets are 2-0 in the series. They won by 17 at home and by 7 in Minnesota. The curious factor is that Al Jefferson made 34 points (15-21), 13 rebounds and 36 points (16-30 FG), 22 rebounds and still the Wolves couldn't be competitive in those games. How can they be competitive tonight without Al Jefferson and facing a team who wants to make a bounce back after a terrible loss last night? The Wolves are 4-15 ATS as a home underdog this season and I think the Rockets will win this game by at least 8 points.

this Louisville/Marquette game is excellent...has a tournament feel...I love March

[Dexter]

all i have you confirmed for is hawks, pacers, warriors....pls make a new post if you have added booked plays

[shoebox]

Utah Jazz -4.5 5X

bos/det over 178.5

Don't count the power of the leprachaun out. Marbury will be a better player in Boston. He will play D. He will score. He will be a model citizen in Boston.

The total is a no play for me but I see this one going under.
Good luck to you though. I hope you cash.

[AdaBarber]

No problem Dex. I played three early games so I am waiting to see how those turn out before I jump on my leans.

I played Ohio and Akron in CBB. But everything else is booked including your Lakers and Ph3onix's play.

[repski]

one Hockey Lean
Columbus Blue Jackets at Vancouver Canucks under 5.5

Columbus lost Tuesday 4-1 loss at Calgary, the Blue Jackets again managed only a single goal Thursday in Edmonton. This time, though, Steve Mason made the goal stand up, stopping 19 shots for his eighth shutout of the season in the 1-0 victory; I see another similar effort this evening. Roberto Luongo made 20 saves to earn the win Friday. The Jackets have seen the total go under the number in 8 of 12 games after scoring one or less goals in their previous game. Under

[suckatmyjob]

under lakers, boston celtics, over celtics, lakers, houston are my leans

i like w. va too but they just not that good ATS so not sure why double digit spread

[NBA Hero]

[repski]

one play I absolutely love is Niagra -9.5 1st half

[peetlui]

Booked:
Toronto +7.5 (JM)
LAL -3.5 (.5pt buy)
Boston -2.5 (1st Q)
Boston -7.5 (.5 buy)
Houston -5.5 (1pt buy)
Utah -3.5 (1pt buy)

Any more commentary on these plays will be redundant...good luck gang.

[TodaysAction]

Guys I need another book to try out,I use SKYBOOK right now but looking to add another,I need USA freindly and Credit Card FREINDLY,any suggestions

HT much depends on what primary sport you will use for that book as each have their strengths and weaknesses. For example, Greek for hockey is fine (at least by/for me) but for bases, it's (traditionally) nothing special. Others have the same issues. One book that I would avoid at all costs it Oddsmaker. BOL with your NHL action tonight.

[nonsense48]

i guess cocknocker is hungover or somethin, so here is todays thread. what i will do is make the big board a consensus of all of our plays..so please cap games without being influenced by others. newer guys are more then welcome to post, but lets see some work from you before your plays get posted here. a 2-1 ratio of plays from cappers would not make the BB - the plays have to be in agreement by 2-0, 3-1 etc ratio. so there will be adding/deleting of plays thru the day.

*due to phx3nix's popularity with his best bets of the day (and great succes) he's an auto for the big board.

*HT's plays auto make the BB since he is the exclusive hockey capper here.

~BIG BOARD~

over mavs (phx3nix)
celtics (brandonlaz, solobass, adabarber, ck, dfjay, bcald)
celtics 1Q (peterpan, joanapoker)

[nonsense48]

mich.st.+1.5

[BCaldwell32]

Oh My god, I guess when you run bad shit like this happens. Pearce steps on the line wide open for it to only be a 2 pointer and I had Celtics -2.5 first quarter!!!!

[ram1502]

Dumbass Pierce steps on the line, makes a 2 point jumper and the Celtics fail to cover by a 1/2 point. OBV

[CP Thrizzle]

Oh My god, I guess when you run bad shit like this happens. Pearce steps on the line wide open for it to only ba a 2 pointer and I had Celtics -2.5 first quarter!!!!

Yeah I didn't play Bos 1Q but I'm watching the game and I thought at first that he was behind the line, and I was thinkin.. wow, Boston actually came back and cashed for the 1Q backers. That's tough, though, hate losing by .5!

[anton soroka]

LOL, u should be happy they made a good run at the end

[BCaldwell32]

lol not sure if I should be happy losing by half point by a couple inches!!!

[Dexter]

dyker heights

BB is 0-1 so far
