Leans for Monday 3/16/09

ck is right... play houston... wait and you might get even more points

jaymac82980 · 03-16-09, 05:45 PM

eh, maybe I'll wait til just before tip, if the line jumps even more I'll take the points. +6.5 would be nice, and I can see the public panicking and pounding the hornets hard with this news.

jaymac82980 · 03-16-09, 05:46 PM

i like a 2 team teaser with the raptors and okc. tor +11/okc +9

cocknocker · 03-16-09, 05:51 PM

There's a defensive guy named Dikembe Mutumbo that helped Houston go on a tear last year while Yao was out. Then with Scola, Landry and excellent on the ball defenders in Artest and Battier. Somehow I don't think that the Hornets will have a layup drill with Mutombo manning the middle. For some reason the Rockets play better when players are out.

The_Kid · 03-16-09, 05:52 PM

Oh dang, I forgot about Deke. I don't even know when he played last. Houston's bench is deep guys so I don't think there's a need to panic and get all frantic about Yao not playing.

I was gonna wait even longer, but I think that I'm gonna go on and play the Rockets now at +6.5 with a point buy. I don' tthink it's gonna get any better than this line, so instead of waiting until 4:45, I am making my move now. The line went up to +1.5 for the 1st quarter, so i am pounding that also. Time to update my front page now.

dennisback · 03-16-09, 05:55 PM

Dikembe Mutumbo is like 42,5 years old and this year he played 5 min total...

jaymac82980 · 03-16-09, 05:55 PM

ck, and the rest of the board...what does everyone think about my teaser of toronto +11/OKC +9?

i actually think its pretty solid.

cocknocker · 03-16-09, 05:56 PM

I got the moneyline at +200 now! So anyway with waiting and smoking on it, here's the card:

Houston+6.5 (1 point buy)
Houson+200 moneyline
Houston+1.5 1st quarter

grappler145 · 03-16-09, 05:58 PM

I am 100% with you CK i love these extra points...

holdplz · 03-16-09, 06:02 PM

If Dikembe Mutombo plays, that would be lights-out. I'll wait for confirmation on that before playing the Rockets...

showtime2000 · 03-16-09, 06:02 PM

Alright going to tail CK and your Houston +6.5 pick. CK you still going HEAVY?

cocknocker · 03-16-09, 06:08 PM

Yes. It was worth waiting to get the extra points!

showtime2000 · 03-16-09, 06:14 PM

Yes it was.
No NHL plays for me tonight. Nothing sticks out. But tomorrow we have some juicy plays that i am still looking at,
Buffalo (triple revenge game versus Ottawa)
Florida (catching Washington on a b2b and a 4/6 night situation were Washington is 2-9 last 11)

So far.

dennisback · 03-16-09, 06:17 PM

i got the ML at +231 @ pinnacle and the line is 6 now too!

wangichu · 03-16-09, 06:45 PM

jumping on the rockets train tonight for sure, but i'm also making a couple of more normal sized plays...

POR/MEM under 189

OKC +5

peterpan19 · 03-16-09, 06:58 PM

ok just got home, HOU at +6 ??? ML at +240 ???
ok Yao is out, but I just doubled up again on the Spread and also put some money on the ML... love this play now...

isiah121 · 03-16-09, 07:08 PM

Rockets +6.5 baby. I even think Rockets play better without Yao.

Ditaln1 · 03-16-09, 07:08 PM

Not to go against the mafia, I still think New Orleans gets it done tonight. I was fortunate enough to get them at -3.5, bought it down to -1. I also put a very small wager on Houston +6, this is a great middle opportunity.

holdplz · 03-16-09, 07:09 PM

If Houston don't cover 6 we should all stick to our day jobs...

Ditaln1 · 03-16-09, 07:12 PM

well, I do stick to my day job, this is my part time job

suckatmyjob · 03-16-09, 07:15 PM

I like the way you think hitting the middle would be great here

Rellik · 03-16-09, 07:16 PM

anybody playing charlotte 2nd half??
+1/2

rowdy08 · 03-16-09, 07:18 PM

taking raptors 3q

peterpan19 · 03-16-09, 07:19 PM

nope no play for me, even though Tor is a tick better in the 2nd half if you look at the stats, but as I have char for the game, lets hope they dont blow it...

The_Kid · 03-16-09, 07:20 PM

As dumb as it sounds, I was thinking about taking the Raptors PK. Even as bad as Toronto is, Charlotte will not shoot 50% for the game with the offense they have. If Toronto cuts down on their turnovers, they can get back in this game.

Rellik · 03-16-09, 07:26 PM

I didn't play this game so I'm gonna with Toronto 2nd half -1/2

Let hope they start playing smart basketball and less turnorvers

GL all.

repski · 03-16-09, 07:26 PM

Grizz and OKC are playing like the crap they are..

very nicr of them to lay down like dawgs if front of the home fans

Too bad the Grizzlies didn't play like this on Sunday vs the Pistons.

Crap teams are so hard to wager on. You never know when they'll decide to show up and play.

peterpan19 · 03-16-09, 07:31 PM

lets hope that at least Mem keeps it somehow close, have em in a teaser +13 and for the game +6 ...

cocknocker · 03-16-09, 07:35 PM

Houston 1st quarter bay-bee!

Karayilan9 · 03-16-09, 07:38 PM

1ST QTR BABY YEEEE. CK RULES

rowdy08 · 03-16-09, 07:39 PM

Okay, I'm stupid for thinking this. The Raptors don't play defense and they just flat out suck. The fourth quarter still has to be played but it looks like the Bobcats are running away with this one.
