Knew Portland wouldn't even come close to covering given the way the day was going. Just another one of those days. I can't have too many more of them in the near future if I hope to get this finally in the right direction.

Anything today?

Stay focused mate. I've seen you killing the NBA in the past. You are one of the most knowledgeable guys on NBA in this whole forum.

He is already struggling, and you keep trolling.
He is a good capper. No one can win everytime, or only have winning streaks.

Thanks man. Appreciate the post after the little bust up we had in that "overrated" thread.

I'm hanging in there. It's not easy but I haven't done anything stupid so far this season except picking games badly which I guess can happen. At least it's still January.

Yeah my apologies. I'm not even sure why I got so fired up? It's not like I'm a Warriors fan, although they are by far my favourite games to watch. Literally can't get enough of watching Steph Curry in action...

No worries man it happens. It would be boring if we all always agreed on everything. I'm a Mavs fan for the record btw, and the only team I hate in the NBA is the Clippers, as my gambling nemeses and the whole DeAndre Jordan thing reinforced that.

If only they were all this easy. Knicks weren't gonna lose 3 in a row to this scrub team. They're playing pretty well right now - maybe I should hop back on the bandwagon like earlier this season when I won quite a bit with them.

Seto · 01-12-16, 09:37 PM

2nd time I bet a team in the last week where their best player gets injured in the first half and they still lead all game only to blow it late. Unfukkingreal.

Seto · 01-12-16, 10:02 PM

Great fukking win Knicks. Only 10 more wins to cash my win total

and I get to give stick to a Celtics fan who told me the Knicks were on par with the Sixers and Lakers before the season. Lol.

It's another one of those nights where all my plays are in the balance and decided in the final few minutes. The last time that happened I lost 3 of 3. Maybe I can win both today?

Seto · 01-12-16, 10:18 PM

And now Rose gets hurt and Butler is limping

If this is how it's gonna go I'm gonna bet on the Clippers every game and injure all their players. Lol.

All in all I suppose it's fair enough to split but it would be nice to have a bit of a lucky stretch to make up for some of the shit that's been happening this year. I suppose it might be somewhere around the corner.

Not sure how it's even possible to be up 91-83 with the ball with 6 minutes to go and give up 19 points in 5'30 to possibly the worst offensive team in the league (23 including the late free throws on intentional fouls), but this Bulls team is as unpredictable and irregular as anyone so I shouldn't be surprised by anything with them. Hate that Noah is back. He's been a great player for them in the past but I don't feel like he really contributes anything on this current team. Time for both parties to move on. They were 7-2 without him.

oldscho0led · 01-13-16, 12:37 AM

Why are the Knicks -5 against Nets tom? Carmelo might sit that one and still should be a PK. I guess books know what they're doing.

Why should it be pk? The Nets are an atrocity and the Knicks are a .500 team that is getting hot... Nets have lost like 10 straight at home or some shit too.

If Melo sits I could see it going down to 3 maybe. No way I can play this godawful Brooklyn team though. I took them against Orlando about a week ago and actually watched about half of that game and it was some of the worst ball I've seen all season. If they couldn't even beat a reeling Orlando team who have been losing to everybody lately, I have no idea who they can beat. Might actually result in some decent value on New York if Melo sits.

Pelicans ml +310 (ladbrokes) (risking 1x to win 3.1x)

The Kings will always be the Kings. The Pelicans are a disgrace too but at those odds it's worth a shot.

They look like they might have turned a corner in their last few games so I do have my eye on that. Not sure how sustainable that is though especially since they're still missing Favors I think. You think Portland has a letdown tonight after the OKC game?

Yea it's definitely got letdown spot possibility. Jazz just beat Portland pretty good recently on NYE though.

I see a turnaround Seto. Keep it up.

I didn't really understand the line there. Why wasn't Chicago -3 or -4? I guess some of it is them playing their 4th in 5 nights but that still doesn't explain it all.

Either way I didn't have much feel for it. Kinda like Miami in the later games but I think I'm passing.

Took this literally seconds before the game so didn't have time to post it but I finally caught a break tonight. They were only up 7 with 3 minutes to go in the half and closed 16-2. Need a few of those in the coming weeks. It's a shame they couldn't cash the full game one but it was only .25 to win 1 unit so it's not too frustrating.

I think a lot had to do with OT in last nights game vs 76ers, not to mention they used a ton of effort to come back from down 20.

True the OT factor plays a part as well I'd kinda left that out. Still was a bit surprised to see Dallas open as a fave.

DOM-Ganador · 01-16-16, 10:37 AM

Funny, saw the C`s up 21 @ halftime and thought of you hitting those lines sometimes.
Seen quite a few times you lost those by the hook, so glad you hit that one.

you didn't do your homework there.
Krit already mentioned about 4th in 5 nights, played OT against 76'ers, and had to do a big effort against them, because they were down big.
BUT, Dallas was playing with 1 day rest and main team was rested against OKC.
Dallas opened as Dogs, not favourite.

Guy is hitting 37% every year, you expect him to understand?

What "homework"? I had no interest in betting that game. If I'd taken interest in it I probably would've looked back and factored in that the Bulls had played OT the previous night. I did know they were playing 4 in 5 though. Still doesn't explain the line to me. Anyway it doesn't matter because either way there was no chance I was betting a penny on that game.
