Sorry, but the PISTONS -1 is the play

[csimmalavong]

BIG PLAY:

PISTONS -1

detroit is coming off a tough overtime loss at home, now travel to toronto. they are 2-0 this season against them. sure rasheed is out, but ill take my chances with the pistons still. the raps are on a 6 game losing streak, while winning only 4 out of the last 17 games played. yes this is still the same old weak ass craptors team, they find a way to choke. i see stuckey and hamilton being able to do whatever they want, although i am somewhat scared of bargnani lighting it up with the bad matchups. either way, its the raptors, home or not, they are weak. this is all coming from a raps fan...

BIG PLAY:

GOLDEN STATE MONEYLINE

Vegas knows the mavs have won 3 straight games, including 2 very tough road games where they were the underdogs. While golden state hasnt looked all that impressive. The line actually opened up at -1 gs. Why would they put GS as a favorite ?? Well the line is now mavs -1, I smell something fishy. The warriors are finally healthy, looking for stephen jackson and magette to have a big game, and dirk to show off his streakyness. Remember, its still the same dallas team on the road !

BIG PLAY: TEASER

INDY +12
PORT -1

atlanta has been good to me this week but i am going against them this time. indy can score with anyone, especially with granger back. hawks are a bit streaky as well, bibby hasnt been shooting well lately. i see the hawks taking care of business at home, but not in blowout fashion. as for the portland game, they are coming off a tough loss. they will be ready to play today, especially seeing that its their last home game before a long road trip.

[Vincepcion]

The only guy on the Raps who looks like he wants to play out there is Pops MB. I like your pick, but probably a no play for me.

[W0lfy]

This game scares me. Toronto is not going to continue losing every game at home till the season ends. Yes, its the Raptors, yes they are horrible, BUT they are completely healthy going against a injured Pistons team. If you don't think Rasheed is a big factor you haven't been watching many games. He is the reason they stay close in games. Hits HUGE 3's and post ups when they need it. I'd have to lean towards the Raptors. GL though.

[csimmalavong]

ive watched many raptor games, and there really has been a lack of intensity, especially lately. Rasheed is big but the pistons still got weapons without him, ESPECIALLY against this weak ass defense. Stuckey penatrate past calderon, kickout rip/prince 3...RIP off ball against parker...sure the raps can score, but a jump shooting team like them, i cant bet. i believe this stat is still alive: this season when the raps fg% is lower than the opponents fg%, they have lost EVERY game..

lets just hope cb4 and bargs dont kill it.

[sallysnax8]

trap??? i've learned my lessons w/ games like these..toronto or no play for me.

[csimmalavong]

and the reason i like this more is because pistons coming off a tough loss..

raptors do that a lot too, but they dont seem to do anything about it !

[MakeMoney]

haha anyone from the toronto area knows how pathetic the raptors are. watching these guys regularly, its hard to imagine how they could ever beat the pistons right now. with all that being said this line is fishy, pistons should be laying around 5, it must have something to do with rasheed being injured. do the pistons really struggle that much without him? im leaning on a pass

[SlowRoll]

CSI. Why are you sorry..?? Because the books are gonna hate us tomorrow when we Slam them on the Pistons -1 This line started at Even, it is already down to -1.5.... I am with you on this 1... Motor City Will Prevail!

[SportsTerminator]

The Raptors do stink. And on a what 7 game losing streak. But they are returning home after a long road break. And they are so hungry for a win. That home crowd might pump them up. But guess who's back in the lineup...SHEED. But I don't know I'm leaning more towards the Pistons. The last good team the Raptors beat at home was Orlando IN JANUARY (4). I don't see how the Raptors got blown out by the struggling 76ERS. This seems like a trap but it's not. It's like the pick is too good to be true. It's risky l0l. Either the Raptors are going to come out fired up or their going to get a spanking. This pick is kind of like the Cavs vs. Suns yesterday. You didn't know how the Suns would come out, fired up or lackadaisical. Teams need to stop playing off of emotion and play off of skill, makes the picking hard.

[NBA Hero]

what is scary is if sheed will keep on shooting the three when barg is hitting his. sheed should post up but its been years since backers are hoping for that. barg is a natural shooter like most european players, which i cant say with sheed

[csimmalavong]

is it confirmed sheed will be playing ? i thought he was out 2 games then reevaluate...

[OperatorX]

After watching many many raps vs detroit games in person at the ACC, I can tell you that Chris Bosh is afraid of Sheed. He really scares him. So if sheed is playing I always think Detroit is gonna win. Raps will probably keep it close for the game though. The pistons however are clutch and will definitley pull it out. Home court advantadge also means pretty little, raps are being booed at home and detroit fans love to come down to Toronto and be overly loud.. seems to work. Detroit is the pick.

"Rasheed Wallace has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors with a left calf injury, but is also iffy for Sunday against Memphis after saying there's no hurry to return to action."

I like GSW, but I'm going to be taking Toronto ML.

cswim,

capping lines in the NBA is one of the hardest things to accomplish on the planet. That's why I turned to totals. I just suck at spreads! But it's lines like this [-1] is what made me lose sleep at night. So good for you by sticking your neck out there! GL and you might want to put a little on the Over-193 (Det/Tor) tonight.

ADDING BIG PLAY:

teaser of..

INDY +12
PORTLAND -1

[King_Bookie]

Toronto is leading by 1 at the moment. I wonder if they can keep up this furious pace.

[SportsTerminator]

If Detroit lose this game, I can not respect them. I let the NY Knicks loss slide but losing to a struggling Toronto cmon. And if the Mavericks lose to Golden State that would be sad.

[King_Bookie]

Golden state looks primed to beat the crap out of Dallas today

DAL is 7-22-1 ATS i the last 30 meetings
GS is 13-5-1 ATS in the last 19 home games
Home court has won decisively in the last 4 meetings
Dallas is a bad road team, but GS is a bad team

[SportsTerminator]

You have to throw away the statistics and look at the team and how they've been playing.
It's been a while since a Golden State beat a team over .500 at home or on the road for that matter. Dallas has been playing really well especially Dirk. Dallas recently beat Phoenix and PORTLAND ON THE ROAD. I have to go with Dallas over the inconsistent shaky Golden State Warriors.

Detroit up 10, I knew that. Toronto isn't good enough for Detroit. Cmon we're talking about Detroit Pistons.

[W0lfy]

Gotta understand its easy to look at teams and say who SHOULD win, but it doesn't work that easy. Us and the entire world knows Dallas struggles with Golden State. Mental thing and cant keep up with their pace. I agree Dallas won some tough games on the road, however I think Golden State loves it when Dallas shows up in Oracle arena just to mess with them. I'd lean on Golden State.

[King_Bookie]

Plus, two teams with no defense. It doesnt matter what the line its, because it definitely is going to be OVER

Sorry, but the PISTONS -1 is the play
BIG PLAY:

PISTONS -1


Good call on this one! I had Det. -1 1/2 second half, which won. I needed it after I lost on the Phil game...had Phil -1 1st Q which lost. Up to now this week I am 7-2, 21-9 total last 30. Nice call! Had a great week on college ball 6-0. 1-2 nba.

[SportsTerminator]

Why do you play on quarters, you should play on the game.

[csimmalavong]

ADDING: TEASE

CAVS -4
PORT -1

gotta make up for the indy fuk up, gl !

[G's pks]

I had a great week after a 6-0 run in college and needed a break. At 7-2 for the week, just want to make sure I finish up my fourth winning week in a row... So taking it easy... Also a little burn out after betting college all week! But was nice to have a run like that...

Those were the 1st 2 quarter bets I have done in a while... Odd I have been doing a ton better at college then nba last few weeks... G.

Why do you play on quarters, you should play on the game.

[csimmalavong]

teasers killed me, but overall solid night..
