Fun times. Glad to know the up and down stuff from last season is back, I really missed that

[DOM-Ganador]

Keep grinding Seto.....
The last few weeks have been unkind to me as well in the "League"

My dogs are always a day early and my chalk have win/no cover.
Doing alright in NFL, but my unit $ just went down in NBA until I get a little momentum.

Saw the Charlotte +3000. No clue. Obviously will need a few bounces/injuries to go your way.
But if it hits, sick call.

[NBA Maniac]

Just check Orlando and Knicks lines at home lol

It happens. Just gotta stay the course. It's frustrating as hell though.

Don't really need injuries, mainly need them to be injury-free. It's a long shot. I don't think Miami and Atlanta are necessarily as good as some people think they are and I think (hope) I'm catching on to Charlotte before other people do.

The Orlando one is a bit surprising but not that much. I would've had them as a short fave they're a short dog instead. It doesn't make THAT much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. But I like them yes.

Knicks, not sure. Both teams have been burying me over this bad run. Should probably avoid the fukk out of that game. I would lean Knicks but I just know if I do Ariza Brewer Thornton and all those other fukks will bust out of their funks and made 10 threes or something.

Suns could be a play tomorrow. I think they might be just as good a team as Toronto. Getting 5-5.5 points with the Raptors off a game today is pretty tempting.

Nets might be worth a try against Detroit and Charlotte should blow Milwaukee out. Actually a pretty decent card tomorrow provided I don't go 1-7 or something as things have gone recently

Kings ml +550 (william hill) (first half) (risking 0.5x to win 2.75x)

[Seto]

Had Wiz+3 and Cavs-1.5 live. Won both by a combined 1.5 points lol, albeit the wizards game wasn't as close as the score indicates on the spread. Just 150 each but feels good to win a couple games.

Let's see if the Kings can give me a nice extra boost. It's a big longshot but who knows. My angle is that these teams on huge winning streaks will ever so often dig themselves a hole in games to come back from. Miami did it multiple times during their 27-game streak a few years ago. Warriors have done it a few times, namely to the Nets, Bulls, Clippers, Pelicans. Just have a feeling it could happen tonight. I could play the spread too for a "real" play but halftime spread plays are things I'm not very comfortable with so I'd rather go with the low risk high reward here. Obviously all this paragraph could go to shite in the first 5 minutes of the game. Well aware of that

Nice night. good luck today

Your becoming the best fade in here.

This is why I hate SBR.

Fukk you. Seriously.

[Seto]

Look, I can accept losing a play on a team getting smacked wire to wire.

But for them to tease me by going on a big 4th quarter run to lead by 4 with 2 minutes to go and then completely go missing for the rest of the game is really hard to take. I don't know what's wrong with my big plays this year. Used to always be a strength. This season it's been an abomination.

"Best rebounding team in the NBA" got absolutely murdered on the glass by a team playing 2 undersized bigs. Just fukking great. If they don't give up all those 2nd chance points they win in a blowout.

Thunder got outscored by 26 points when this guy was on the floor. Twenty six. He has to be the worst starting player in NBA history. In there for "defense" yet left Korver a couple times for open 3's

[Bic]

Watched the game. Roberson was absolutely horrid. He also air balled a shot.

He is there because he doesn't need to take shots away from Westbrook and Durant.

We are crying out for someone like Danny Green instead of him. Need a deadly shooter when required who can play defense.

I watched the game. It was a totally gutless performance.

Yeah Danny Green would be perfect. But I don't care if he's a bit less effective on defense, Morrow should be starting... OKC would be completely unstoppable on offense with him in there.

Yeah I actually watched basically every dribble of it too which is rare when the team I bet on goes down big I usually get tired of them and watch another game and flip it on later if they make a comeback. I just really felt all along OKC would win but they didn't reward my confidence at the end their effort on the glass was really pathetic. Westbrook was awesome in the fourth in general but made 2 key bad plays trying to draw a foul on a horrible off balance jumper up 2 then a dumb turnover down 2 which basically ended the game.

It's tough. Just gotta hang in there. It's better to have a bad run in November than in March.

I hear you.

OKC had that "we'll just keep playing and eventually take over" mentality all night long. I had them too, but kind of glad they lost. They deserved it.

I want to unload so bad but idk yet

"Logically" it seems like a good play. They've been a lot better of late challenging average and even good teams up til the final few minutes or even seconds on their last road trip. The Lakers are what they are.

However it does fall in those games between bad teams with short lines which I typically hate betting on. But I just can't ignore this game. Sixers might blow em out. Not rare that when a streak ends it ends with a blowout.

Today: 3-0, +5x

So in effect, I'm breaking even (even winning 0.1 units ) the last 3 days and have hit 3 of 4 games on the spread. It's just a fukking shame the one I lost was the biggest one by far.

But let's hope that means I'm picking games better and could go on a positive run rather sooner than later.

I loved in the end: The Lakers just hit a new LOW
LOOOL

It is painful to watch Kobe playing at this level. Thankfully I almost never watch their games anymore. It was good to see him getting the proper send-off in Philly though.

I think i didn't saw 20 min total NBA yet this year lol...
Will try to watch last quarter of Minnesota and Memphis

[KRIT]

What do you think of the Clippers tonight. Line seems real short, i'm always hesitant to take the short home fave in NBA. Didn't realize the Pacers have been this good so far? Are the Pacers that good or are we just getting good value because of the records of the two teams. I feel like LAC is still a few points better even on a neutral court.

Wiggins missed a penetrating FT in the end and that 3 point play was an air ball
Wolves did a nice run in 4th qrt, "almost" won the game

I dunno man, as you say the line is what it is because the Pacers have started out hot. The Clippers have notched together a couple wins against mediocre teams and now is the real test for them. Wasn't the line -3 at one point though? Someone must be out.
