Nice night bro. Wolves are going to have a lot of value until books catchup. They're finally healthy and no longer bottom-feeders of the NBA.

I know the whole b2b in Denver thing but I'm still taking thunder again tomorrow

I liked them and the Raptors as I said and didn't take either

on a solid night I'm not gonna bitch too much about it but it's a shame.

This altitude b2b thing less of a thing lately I find. Probably down to 1) teams getting used to the concept of that back to back 2) the nuggets and jazz suck now so winning in their building is easier than it used to be.

I think OKC, Miami and San Antonio should all win their respective games tomorrow where they are all short-ish faves. All 3 games could be close however with potentially opportunities to take teams at a better number live so I dunno how I'll play it.

The OKC game could concievably be a blowout so I'll probably have something on them before tip.

Dallas should handle the Clippers too. The line will be unplayable though.

Looks like books are adjusting to the Wolves already

only 5.5 point dogs to the Hawks.

Makes me a tad more upset about passing on them yesterday.

Wondering if I take OKC. Feels like the game could be decided around the number. It could just as easily be 65-41 at halftime though.

Just wait for a potential live opportunity on OKC. Nice few days, keep rolling. Great job ignoring the trolls.

Denver always played hard against OKC, at least in the past...
This year they are sucking...

Was a sweat but Spurs were defo a play at some of the #s available. Got +140, +225 and +450.

Heat look like they might complete a comeback win too.

They've sucked for 2 years now.

They've always sucked in the playoffs but going to play in their building in the regular season used to be a nightmare. Isn't anymore.

I took OKC 21+ for the first half for fun literally a few seconds before tip so I didn't bother posting it. No play on the game otherwise.

If they lose this game it's an absolute disgrace so if they ever find themselves down I'll take them live for sure.

**KRIT** · 02-09-15, 09:31 PM

I would normally back denver in this spot, but theyre unbettable atm. I still don't get why Shaw hasn't been canned.

**Seto** · 02-09-15, 09:46 PM

Should've fukking taken the Clippers. I knew they'd play well in the first few games following the initial blowout loss after Griffin's injury. Dallas haven't been playing well lately either.

Was just hoping Mavs would show up today then I'd play the Clippers big Wednesday against the Rockets but I didn't follow my gut there. Hopefully Dallas makes a comeback and at least wins the game.

Suns-2 -110 (bet365) (risking 3.3x to win 3x)
Suns-8 +225 (bet365) (risking 1x to win 2.25x)

Bulls-10.5 -110 (bet365) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)

Dallas couldn't win a game even if their life was on the line.... it is just pathetic...

Tomorrow's dallas line speaks for their play. Only -3.5 at home vs the Jazz.

Ellis and Chandler went down in the 1st quarter. Kinda hard playing without 3 starters.

They'll be just fine. 34-19 even with all the recent injuries and a major trade.

They're playing without 3 starters and Utah has been playing well recently...

I doubt they'll lose. They should find a way there. Dirk always has monster games against Utah.

Grizzlies are getting 6 points in OKC tomorrow. Thunder probably smoke em. Wizards in a revenge game in Toronto.

It opened at -5 and got pounded up to 6 and almost 6.5. I agree it's probably a blowout. Grizzlies are fukking pesky though, always hang around in games. OKC and Memphis typically play right to the buzzer too. I feel uneasy but I know laying the points is the move there in theory.

I don't know with those Wizards anymore. That team annoys me. But it is reminiscent of a game last season where they were playing in Toronto to avoid the season sweep and pulled out a 2OT or 3OT win.

I like the Clippers. Probably taking them for 3 units.

what's this? they don't play tonight...tomorrow at home against jazz?...or just a "never mind"...

**Vinnie Paz** · 02-11-15, 12:23 AM

Charles Barkley just said that Mitch McGary was the only reason why OKC will make the playoffs.

**Vinnie Paz** · 02-11-15, 12:41 AM

And why the fukk does ibaka shoot so many 3s this year? Wtf , you were one of the best mid range shooters. Just know your role and stick to it. Fkn Scott brooks man

So many things are just wrong with that team. Decisions will be made in the offseason most likely.

You can never rule them out just based on talent though. Playoffs will be fun.
