    Pistons +3 on Saturday

    Pistons are obviously a shit team but they will cover +3 for the home opener just like Utah did tonight. Indy is a much improved team and already spanked det once but indy played ot and det was done heading into the fourth in bos. Det will be up for this game.

    Pistons +3 -110 (3x)

    Like the play.

    What you think of the New years eve thing tomorrow? Is there an angle where you fade home or road teams based on past years or nothing really?

    Yeah, seems like the auto pick here.

    Also, just take the Rockets +1 against the Hawks. And throw in the Spurs -whatever really...they should dismantle the Jazz.

    If this works all season, I'm going to retire.

    Well the knicks are a C bet I'm assuming on the JM chase system. If ny is -4.5 or more they cover.

    Dumars is a washed up bum. Guy has to recognize that his days are finished. I could put together a better team. This guy drafted Darko over Wade and Carmello. Traded Billups for Iverson. Worst GM in nba history.

    The Darko draft was all Larry Brown, you know that.

    Indiana is a really good team. But each time I've watched them this year they've blown big leads in the 4th quarter. They should have lost tonight if it werne't for Kyrie Irving missing game winning lay up. The Pistons suck, and the Pacers are a solid team, for that reason I'll take Indi -3.

    I've used that rationale many times during my short time capping NBA games, and almost everytime it has come back to bite me in the ass. I took the Bucks -3 on the road against the Bobcats, Knicks -3 on the road against the Warriors, Celts -2 1/2 on the road against the Hornets...see this trend? Many times inferior teams blow their opponents off their court if the spot is right. All the road faves I took had been playing well and were due for a letdown game. Don't be surprised if this game is a letdown game for the Pacers who have been playing very good ball this season. Pistons being blown out at home against Cavs concerns me but I will probably take the Pistons spread and ML if the lines move enough

    This play seems to fit a formula of sorts that I have developed in my travels so far. I made a thread in the forums so everyone should take a look and give feedback. If this trend/formula holds, Pistons have a pretty good chance of atleast covering the spread. Hopefully it moves in the Pistons favor by tomorrow afternoon

    So far so good. Detroit is up and looking organized and functional on offense. Every score has been assisted.



    They're starting out with Good energy.
