I had a good nite but trust me march has been pretty bad, just one of those good days

texhooper · 03-14-09, 12:20 AM

usc's coach looks like he's on a bender.

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 12:21 AM

a good day on Friday the 13th, go figure.

suckatmyjob · 03-14-09, 12:28 AM

yea had a rough morning and afternooon and seemed like everyone was against me on Portland and GS but all well it happens...

CK is right tournament you throw your crumbs on and NBA is where bread is made thank god NBA saved my day

best of luck tomorrow everyone

texhooper · 03-14-09, 12:39 AM

usc looking mighty fine. excellent call so far kid. starting to breathe easy on that one. not over yet though.

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 12:44 AM

tex, Pacific covered, and Utah U covered both 2nd half bets......That I wanted to take but didn't. Isn't that the worst, I think this is what losing a child feels like - or really bad diharea. Either way, it sucks watching picks you know you should have made win.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 12:58 AM

yeah, that does suck. i thought about taking utah myself on principal, but couldn't do it either.

usc is really trying to **** this up for us.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:02 AM

ok, now it's safe. usc covers the second half. and the game, though i didn't take it.

thanks kid.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:03 AM

haha, and jay, i think it's a little closer to bad diarrhea.

The_Kid · 03-14-09, 01:04 AM

USC tried their best to blow that one but a win is a win! Congratulations to all who followed.

I bet he'll have a heart attack in the next few minutes after watching the last 2 minutes of that game.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:05 AM

fantastic call, brother.

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 01:06 AM

kid, nice call with usc, at least I got one win. not a horrible night, but still down a little. make it back tomorrow.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:10 AM

i think tomorrow i'm going with one play: thunder/suns over whatever number they throw at us. no need to mix that in with a bunch of losing picks.

also, i must give some love to my tigers. after today, memphis is the first team ever to have four straight 30 win seasons, and antonio anderson, robert dozier, and some scrub named chance mcgrady are the winningest players ever in college basketball. how bout that shit. can't wait to see them win their fourth straight conference tournament tomorrow either.

Vazquez went for 22 and 9, coming through nicely.

Two more for tonight:

Desean Butler's athleticism should be effective against those weary Orange legs.

Butler over 23.5 points + rebounds

Gerald Henderson is just a beast.

Henderson over 22.5 points + assists

Butler's 21 and 6 get t done

Henderson's 16 and 2 don't

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 01:14 AM

tex I was actually thinking of taking the tigers -14, and teasing it with florida st...fl state +12.5/memphis -10.

Hows that one sound to ya?

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 01:15 AM

Still gonna just stick with that suns over? I bet not anymore.

Plus, whats his name is out for OKC, or at least thats why theyre not putting a line out yet. Could affect the over.

OK, so Washington disappointed, but I only paid juice cause I took em for same amount 2nd half.

Too many points to expect Dwayne Lewis to score against UCLA.

Dwight Lewis under 14.5 points

Wow, Lewis has 12 at half and ends the game at 14. I'll take it. 3-1 on props today, and a nice litttle bonus win with La Tech late. Take care all and good luck tomorrow!

The_Kid · 03-14-09, 01:18 AM

Kevin Durant could possibly return either tomorrow or Monday against the Spurs. Will probably get more news of his status tomorrow.

Nice job on those prop bets, BMB.

BmoreBucco · 03-14-09, 01:22 AM

Thanks brother, been some really fun basketball to watch these last few days.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:24 AM

jay, i think the "narrow" ten point victory against tulane yesterday woke the tigers up, as they spanked the everloving dogshit out of houston today. houston is the highest scoring team in c-usa, and they were held to 49. i believe garbage time came with about 8 or 9 minutes left in the game, so they should be pretty rested as far as back-to-backs go. they're going to kill tulsa, who had to fight it out with uab to get a three point victory. tulsa can't handle our rap style, especially not at the forum. i'm biased, though, but i don't see a narrow escape from this one. memphis doesn't win tomorrow, they don't get a 1 seed, and cal will not let that come close to happening. should be a 20+ point victory, as there will be no resting or garbage time. style points matter this time of the season.

your tease looks good. unc is good, but they are consistently overvalued by the linesmakers. they're like the lakers of the ncaa. i actually might do that myself...

The_Kid · 03-14-09, 01:34 AM

tex, I'm sort of feeling the UNDER 120. Both meetings between the teams didn't even reach 110. With both of them playing their 3rd game in 3 days, I can see tired legs. Memphis could very well run them out of the building but even if they hit about 65-70, Tulsa would need to score 50+.

jaymac82980 · 03-14-09, 01:42 AM

Kid, I see your point on this one, but I personally HATE unders. I know CK already posted that he is taking the over - and I dont like the over for this game either. tough call. crappy total line.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:46 AM

memphis have been generating a lot unders this year...their own poor shooting mixed with their unbelievable athletic defense. wouldn't be surprised to see that hit. memphis's games have been hovering around the 110 mark here lately, and seeing as how they should be in control of this one, mixed with the fatigue factor setting in on tulsa moreso than memphis (hopefully lowering the chances of a blowout causing the game to go over), that's probably a pretty safe bet.

i probably won't move on anything involving this game, as i rarely bet memphis games because i'm so biased, but you fellows' selections look pretty good. but take whatever i say with a grain of salt.

texhooper · 03-14-09, 01:49 AM

jay, did he post that in this thread about the over?

Haha, I don't think you've never seen an OVER you didn't like, lol. It's all good though. I'll look more into it. I just looked over what CK had to say but I might just skip it altogether. I want to get a play on one of the early games so I have some $ to work with in the afternoon games. Will be looking at USC again. Floyd will come up with a defensive plan to stop Harden.

It's in the post for Saturday's leans.

oBaMa_MaNiA · 03-14-09, 01:54 AM

yeah, i see it now. he has some points, but i'm with you, kid. it would either be under or nothing for me. he must see something in the over as that's his only writeup so far. i wouldn't feel comfortable taking memphis over anything though with this team. maybe next year. man, next year...
