Knicks+6 -110 (bet365) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
Knicks ml +210 (bet365) (risking 2x to win 4.2x)

Obviously a bit unusual to proceed this way. But I feel this is an all or nothing type game. I am still making a small move on the spread to only lose 1 unit if they drop a close one.

Nice hit on the hornets. They have been solid. I have been avoiding Houston, Knicks, Grizz and life has been less frustrating :-)

Gonna be tempting to take Charlotte in Memphis tomorrow depending on the line. Hopefully they don't burn me again.

The team I am definitely aiming to avoid for the entirety of the season is the Clippers. If I don't bet a single one of their games between now and June - save for maybe a couple long shot bets which don't involve much risk - it'll be a good thing. They've puzzled me since 2011 and there's no sign of it ever stopping. Hopefully they break up this core soon, I'm sick of this team. Would like to see Griffin bolt in 2017 and join another star somewhere else.

I have a very hard time trusting Knicks in this spot, but goodluck buddy

I can see your point.. I kind of like Knicks too.. Last game i caught kings first quarter spread everything against jazz, but they turn the ball over so much if knicks come to this game I think they cover at least. Though OKC but 7.5 seems too high.. Could see another big game at home from Bulls like against Spurs and few others..

I'm still not taking Sacramento seriously for now. They have talent but they're still the Kings until proven otherwise.

I really feel like Chicago is gonna win easily tonight. I've seen this movie before though.

No opinion on the other 2 games. I'll live bet them if anything.

Exactly, kings are really talented but making so many bad decisions.. I dont like betting clippers games either but might have to take bulls tonight.. As well as knicks...good luck...

[RavensFan2k3]

Game is def in reach. Goodluck rest of the way! I played Kings first half, so we can both win

[Seto]

This is the ugliest game ever. The funny thing is neither team is playing much defense either. Knicks transition D has been horrible and yet they've given up only 46. With the way the Knicks are playing, a good defensive team would've held them to about 20 points in the half. 39 points is very very generous considering the kind of possessions they're having.

Today: 1-1, -1x

I just can't win a close game this season. It's truly unbelievable. Fukking Melo missed 5 free throws when he shoots 85% or whatever and fukked up the last possession. Horrible bailout call gave Kings 2FT's up 2 otherwise we probably go to OT.

That entire game was a goddam joke.

You taking Charlotte again bro?

[Seto]

You taking Charlotte again bro?

I really want to but idk why I feel uneasy. Probably cause I often don't do well fading Memphis at home.

But I actually feel like Charlotte might be the better team here, at least at the moment. Wonder if maybe getting a better line live is a possibility?

I like it, but i think we can get better live

I'm looking to put 5 units on them live if they're dogs at any point. This is just in case they blow them out from the jump.

[Seto]

NBA has admitted Melo was fouled on the last play yesterday. Well that's just fukking great. They gonna pay me back by cash or card?

Lucky to get the push there. Miami was an incredibly dumb bet. I will say this: I haven't felt this badly out of rhythm for about 3 years in this sport. It's bound to turn around at some point but it's really so bloody frustrating. Just can't seem to get a hold of things.

Hornets-2 -110 (bet365) (risking 3.3x to win 3x)

i like it, even after the huge win they got against Memphis.
Boston played 2 OT, and team should be frustrated.

Lakers+11.5 -110 (bet365) (risking 1.1x to win 1x)
Lakers ml +550 (bet365) (risking 0.5x to win 2.75x)

Warriors-20.5 +500 (bet365) (risking 0.25x to win 1.25x)

[amrit]

Seto don't you think the Charlotte line seems short especially with Boston playing a double OT game yesterday?

[amrit]

I want to take Charlotte but just feel its a trap game.

Hope so! But the line move is making me uneasy

[Seto]

Nah line is ok. They were -1 before last nights' games and it went up to -2 then to -2.5/-3 because of the double OT. Sounds fair enough to me. Remember books are in love with Boston this season. I still think they're not a playoff team.

Warriors-20.5 +1200 (william hill) (first half) (risking 0.25x to win 3x)

Seto, what if OKC had drafted S. Curry instead of J. Flop Harden ?
There were nice players on that draft

Hope you're saying "flop" as in "he's a flopper" Harden is a stud. Top 6-7 player in the league easily.

It's tough to say. Harden was a 6th man, would they have been able to use Curry as a 6th man? Or would they have shifted Russ to the 2?

I don't think as far as keeping him that things would've panned out any differently though. OKC chose Ibaka over Harden in 2012. Given how low Curry's stock was (some actually thought his career was over) in 2012, I don't think they would've done things any differently.

[Seto]

Hornets late game execution is a joke. Same shit as the Cleveland game. They haven't gotten a good shot in about 5 minutes.

[RavensFan2k3]

Knew line movement wasn't right

[Seto]

Fukking refs I've had key awful calls going against me in games this week. As if it wasn't enough that I'm making awful bets. Seriously getting sick of this shit.

[Seto]

Dude it has nothing to do with line movement. They had this game and blew it down the stretch. Even when they score they have really bad possessions. I don't understand why it's so hard for teams to keep doing what they've bene doing all game in crunchtime.

[NBA Maniac]

WTf just happen ?? NBA is a joke... no whistle LOL on Charlotte game ahahah

[Seto]

Seriously what the fukk is wrong with these refs?
