Mafia Leans for Monday 03/23/2009

CashIn · 03-23-09, 04:00 PM

Portland 1Q -2.5
I'm pretty sure it was posted a while back that they're one of the better home team first quarters in the league.
Celtics 1Q -5
Unsure over Miami/Memphis 1Q, worst two 1Q teams in the league, leaning Memphis +3.5
Thoughts?

A lot of mismatches in the Association tonight. A lot of inflated lines too. Atlanta -12 is an attempt to get people to ride the Atlanta ATS streak with a larger spread. Of course, I'd rather sit a game out than play Minnesota, so it's a no play. Good luck to the people with more balls than I who are on Atlanta!

Portland -8 is my play. Philly are an abysmal 5-13 playing b2b, and they're playing the last game of an already successful road trip. Portland are playing the first game of a homestand, and they've blown out teams with that scenario all season long. Factor in the revenge for losing ugly in Philly, and you can be sure Portland are going to bring their A game tonight.

tommyminh · 03-23-09, 04:21 PM

Prop of the day:

Stephen Curry is a beast and he's everybody's darling. Only thing is, he doesn't have the team arouind him he had last year. If I know it, and you know it, you better be damn sure St. Mary's knows it. They won't stop him but they will contain him.

Stephen Curry under 34.5 points + assists (HUGE)

Three NBA plays:

Boston -15.5 (nothing I can add that isn't here already) (BIG)
Minnesota +14 (duh)
Orlando -6 (Superman at MSG, Showtime)

Creighton hasn't seen a player as good as Meeks or Patterson, let alone both.

Kentucky +2

Oh, and Korea +140 just because I love me some baseball.

BmoreBucco · 03-23-09, 04:43 PM

[605] MEMPHIS +9-110
[611] DENVER +3½-110

suckatmyjob · 03-23-09, 05:03 PM

NHL plays for me tonight,

Florida -110
-Carolina justcame off 3 emotional wins, beating WAShington, New Jersey and coming back to beat the Islanders in the 3rd period. Carolina is playing their 4th game in 6 nights. They have lost 3 straight road games.
Florida had Saturday nights game all but won against Columbus but lost in 3 minutes. Florida sits 1 point behind for the final playoff spot. I see them wanting this more.

NJ/PHIL over 5.5
-really liked New Jersey here but something is saying no, so insteadi will opt with the over here. Over is 9-3 in Devils last 12 games playing on 0 days rest, Over is 11-3-1 in Devils last 15 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 days situation, Over is 8-3 in Flyers last 11 home games. everyone seems to be on the under here, but Biron played the game of year yesterday for Phil and New Jersey seems to respond well this year when scoring 1 or less goals the previous game.

Orlando is really going to cost me another 1Q play against the Knicks.

Jimbo42 · 03-23-09, 07:05 PM

Booked:
Minnesota +1 2nd Half

repski · 03-23-09, 07:05 PM

mkchung · 03-23-09, 07:07 PM

i love boston

heyheyhey · 03-23-09, 07:09 PM

King_Bookie · 03-23-09, 07:10 PM

Its a close battle for 1Q for knicks and magic. whoever wins this, will most likely win the game.

EDIT: LMAO it was a push.

Jimbo42 · 03-23-09, 07:17 PM

Line just went Minn +1 (-115) mafia...

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:17 PM

Damn, these scrubs for Boston are letting the Clippers back in the game.

ger25pic25 · 03-23-09, 07:18 PM

Portland -5
Denver +8
teased

what do you think ?

i played memphis too but i think they gonna loose by double digit..

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:22 PM

This is getting ridiculous. Is Doc Rivers really going to let his starters sit until the Clippers get the lead?

suckatmyjob · 03-23-09, 07:25 PM

as i was asking and wondering earlier do most coaches do this since they already clinched a playoff spot, I mean there seems to be big gaps in the east however in the West seems like they want better placement or to see who they play with for better odds

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:27 PM

I can't take this bullsh*t. Rivers held his players out until the Clippers get the lead and then finally decides to put them back in? What kind of idiot does that? Are they still trying to get homecourt advantage or what? My 1H bet WAS looking pretty good and then the scrubs get outscored 19-5.

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:32 PM

How do you score 31 points in the 1Q and then have only 8 points 9 minutes into the 2Q?

Atlanta is leading by 20.... so.... where did you get that info about -12 being an attempt to ride? They may go for a backdoor cover but its highly unlikely for a crappy team.

Karayilan9 · 03-23-09, 07:36 PM

Boston 1st QTR was red hot

Magic was a push.

Boston getting hammered in the 2nd QTR.

Ok who likes Boston to come out in a storm 3rd QTR!

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:38 PM

I'm officially done with the NBA until the playoffs if Boston doesn't cover the -15. I can't take any more of this bullsh*t. I understand why Doc Rivers took out his starters but to sit them until the Clippers take the lead? Who does that? Now, you have the Clippers thinking they can steal ANOTHER victory on your freaking home court of all places.

mkchung · 03-23-09, 07:40 PM

suck, i believe boston is still fighting for #1 in the eastern conference no? i can't believe the clipshow caught up.

They are. That's why I don't understand Doc Rivers. I really think he's a horrible coach. He's lucky to have good players now but when they get old and retire, he'll be exposed for who he really is.

mkchung · 03-23-09, 07:43 PM

there's a good chance boston will still cover. clippers usually breakdown and start playing like their old selves in the 3rd and 4th imo.

Jimbo42 · 03-23-09, 07:43 PM

Booked:
Memphis + 1/2 2nd Half

Yeah, I hope so. The backdoor cover is out there as well.

suckatmyjob · 03-23-09, 08:18 PM

minnesota +1 for 2h cashes
