Yeah I feel like Utah should be able to win big here. Not sure why the Wolves and Jazz both get the same line at home to Portland, but I guess books probably know what they're doing.

Line is madness to me. Massive overreaction to Indiana's bad start. Boston hasn't looked that good either and in my mind the Pacers are the better squad.

Who the penetrate is Boston team ?

Does Brad Stevens really have a 13 man rotation going in the first half?

What a rookie

I guess it's the problem when you have a roster filled with average players. No clear cut big minute guys on that team.

It's a shame Indiana has no bench. They've had 3 years to build a bench for this Paul George-led team. Why can't they sign anyone who's actually good?

thoughts on warriors/clippers? refs will have to control the game a lot to make it slightly close

Seto · 11-04-15, 08:40 PM

Is this Celtics/Pacers game the worst NBA game ever? I mean seriously. Wow.

I may have been generous giving Boston 30-35 wins this year.

I sort of think the Clippers could give the Warriors a game but going against the Warriors is really tough right now. As I said when I took them opening day, they're pissed off about nobody giving them credit for last year and are playing with an extra edge. It's a shame I didn't really capitalise on that thought.

Don't have much to add to that. Probably a no play.

The game was a total crapfest and generally a shit game to have a bet on as both teams were absolutely horrible until the last few minutes. Still, nice win on the big bet man, was on it with you as Boston definitely had no business being away favs to a team that's probably their equal.

Seto · 11-04-15, 09:36 PM

Shame about that -5 play. They had like 5000 chances to put this game away but let Boston hang around. Maybe I should've just added the extra 150 on the +2.5 but easy to say now.

If Utah can cover I'm basically even on the year in this thread.

italianbandit · 11-04-15, 09:38 PM

Nice call on Indy the last 2 nights. Good luck on another succesfull thread.

Agreed. Shocking basketball most of the way.

I have Indiana as a 40-45 win team. Boston 30-35. This line was an overreaction to their horrorshow against Utah.

Thanks, Pacers have been good me me last 2 nights overall yeah, hope to build on this now

NBA Maniac · 11-04-15, 09:46 PM

Seto nice hit, it was Pacers or no play.
Glad to see you hit your big bet

BUT avoid to bet huge in a game where 2 shitty teams are playing, anything can happen and f*ck you in the ass.

grabbed pacers live when celtics were ahead a point, wasnt very good for my heart

i need cavs by 4 now. think i might take the warriors

KRIT · 11-04-15, 10:03 PM

I kind of like the clipjoint but like you've mentioned, betting against gs right now might not be the best idea.

Curry 2 phantom fouls in 3 minutes

lol i thought of your post when that happened.

fukking jazz. dumb play on my part.

oldscho0led · 11-04-15, 11:15 PM

Great showing by the Jazz..

Seto · 11-04-15, 11:40 PM

Today: 1-2, +4.8x
Total: 6-10, -4.96x

Feel like I should've won more than 10 units the last 2 days given how confident I was in those 2 Pacers wins... Whatever. I'm probably complaining too much. I complain all the time though, that's just what I do

Seto · 11-04-15, 11:45 PM

I haven't been impressed by OKC so far this year. Betting against Durant and Westbrook off 2 losses scares me though. I don't like the card much overall tbh. Probably some better games Friday.

nothing really stands out for me as well, probably going to catch something live if anything

NBA Maniac · 11-05-15, 04:34 PM

WTF is going on on Wizards @ Boston ?
Bookies know, something we don't ? Hangover, because of victory against Spurs ?

Books are in love with Boston because of their hot streak at the end of last year I guess. I think they stink.

Seto · 11-05-15, 07:37 PM

Wonder if the Pelicans can be a play tomorrow. Thing is they suck without Tyreke Evans.

Doesn't help that Anthony Davis has played like shit for most of this year. Every time I watch them he is shooting fade away 18 footers.

All these guys wanna emulate Dirk. There's only one Dirk

Davis is due for a breakout game though.

They're a godawful defensive team without Asik too. Atlanta tends to feast on bad teams in the regular season so I'll tread lightly there.

Seto · 11-06-15, 01:31 AM

Magic+5 -110 (paddy power) (risking 5.5x to win 5x)

I'm taking a risk by locking this in before most books post a line - I suspect it will open somewhere around 5 anyway considering Vucevic isn't playing but just in case it's a bit lower (I realise it could be higher too hence the "risk"). I expect Orlando to win this game honestly but they always tend to do stupid shit in the last 2 minutes and blow games so I'm not bothering with the ml. Might give an alt spread a go though - just have a feeling Toronto could be a no show in this one.

I want to take the Pelicans but honestly I think I can't. What I am leaning more towards is riding the Pacers train for one more game. They were a hot and cold team down the stretch last year and it's possible this could carry over into this year. Miami haven't looked great so far as they're still learning how to play together.

NBA Maniac · 11-06-15, 01:38 AM

I like wizards, Pelicans and Orlando (expecting line because of Vucevic), he is important to the team...
But i still can't bet.. unless i try to use mirror link from pinnacle lol

I just realised the Wizards are playing the Hawks on Saturday night. Big game for both teams following that playoff series last year, espescially for Washington. My initial lean was Wizards in that game tomorrow night as well but this changes quite a bit.

It's a shame Cousins isn't playing, would've been a great spot to take Sacramento, thing is they really are shit without him. If they're getting enough points I might still be tempted to take them.

Seto · 11-06-15, 02:32 AM

Celtics+1 -110 (bet365) (risking 4.4x to win 4x)
Celtics-6 +230 (bet365) (risking 1x to win 2.3x)

Done a 180 on this game. This game being off a strong effort against the Spurs and the night before a big game in Atlanta, I wouldn't expect the Wizards' best effort.

Pacers+1.5 -110 (betcris) (risking 2.2x to win 2x)

NBA Maniac · 11-06-15, 03:52 AM

I already knew they were playing each other in saturday. Still like the Harry Potter team.
Now i go to sleep, but will keep an eye on Pelicans, Orlando and Indiana train.

DOM-Ganador · 11-06-15, 10:54 AM

Funny as I was going to ask about the Orlando game.
They have been aweful frisky so far and getting all those points @ home jumped out at me.

The Miami/Indy game is perplexing to me.
Both teams have had serious see-saw efforts.

GL tonight. I am still focused on NFL, but am ready to start getting into hoops again.

DOM-Ganador · 11-06-15, 01:14 PM

Word is the Pacers are breaking out the "Hickory" retro unis from the movie "Hoosiers" tonight.
Has to be a good omen.I am in.
