Minnesota has been a 9pt dog twice this season -- won both games SU

[louielouie]

Playing Wolves plus 9 and the ML -- they catch the hot warriors on a back to back with significant travel and the buzz and letdown of beating a team record with 9 wins to start the season -- with history out of the way here comes the letdown vs. a young and rested and ready to fight timberwolves squad who has yet to win a home game -- this is on TNT and tonight the win will be for Flip -- young squad and the crusty vet garnett will play valiently -- if the warriors win it will be on a buzzer beater but I think the wolves win this one

[grillzboy224]

Sounds like the movie script of a fantasy movie. lol

[goduke]

so when you get 30 of these wrong and then hit one are you going to say "i told you so"?

[louielouie]

Have a posted a winning week -- this one wins tonight

[R.P. McMurphy]

Actually like this spot Minny rested and Gsw on travel night in a b2b spot. One thing I'm starting to worry about far as going against Gsw is the furious hot start. Starting to wonder is this the nba's Patriots who are just gonna clobber everyone for awhile after some of the off season disrespect about how "lucky" (dummies words not mine) they were down stretch with their matchups.

[grillzboy224]

b2b means almost nothing at this point of the season. Golden State is used to playing a long season, and they've convincingly beat anyone that has faced them (other than maybe the Clips). Minny is too young, and their guns may be "rested", but they certainly haven't been healthy continually and consistently. Who guards Curry? Who guards Thompson? Draymond defends Wiggins, and Bogut and Ezeli will hold theirs down against Towns. Bet on it all you want, but I'd rather avoid the whole game than waste cash on the Wolves.

[louielouie]

Also this isn't same old bad wolves team -- Towns is a true first year talent and the vets are helping the young kids grow -- rubio actually shooting better this year -- and they have health -- the 3 losses at home are sure to be eating them up and KG is as good a motivator as anyone -- 91% of bets on the Warriors today as well -- not always good to fade the public but on a short 3 game card I don't mind

[louielouie]

Last time they met in minnesota

[louielouie]

I guess we'll see -- the ML is a smaller play as the wolves are the inferior team but I like the points today -- call me foolish if you like

[grillzboy224]

This Warriors team is much more dominant than last year's regular season team. It's like Luke Walton has taken them to new heights, or maybe it's just the way Curry has improved.

Good luck with the points. I have the Warriors at -6.5, and winning comfortably.

[louielouie]

I will agree that they look improved -- but let's for instance say they are as good as the 72-10 Bulls as some pundits have very early guessed -- when and where did those 10 losses come?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/532021-records-the-only-70-win-team-ever-looking-at-the-1996-bulls-10-losses

To me this is that type of let down game and opponent -- I have been wrong on Warriors games this years but ATS only 1 more wrong than right -- I have been right on all cavalier games and will continue to do well there as I know them the best

[jtoler]

Pass, we only care about your Clippers threads.

[louielouie]

Fair enough I have been fade worthy on the Clippers this year all except the Warriors game

[R.P. McMurphy]

Also the Tnt angle has usually been good for keeping games tight. For me it's Minny or no play I been Fukked over too many times by "non basketball b.s." backing 90%+ public bets and huge tv faves. I won't dare go against the double whammy here Vegas and networks we all know what they need. Might just jump in live and get lower # on Dubs or back Minny hopefully in 12/14 range live depending on how game goes.

[louielouie]

Attempting a middle is a sharp idea -- if you can live bet I would start on the dog ML (+400 or so) and if live you can get Warriors ML at even or -200 you can guarantee at least .5 to 1 units if this game gets close or Wolves ever lead considerably

[louielouie]

2 more angles for better or worse -- Andrew Wiggins bobblehead night and no Barbosa (so the Warriors backup 2 is Brandon Rush and/or Ian Clark)

[grillzboy224]

Iggy can play the 2...Livingston can too.

[louielouie]

Both true -- maybe we will both win tonight you with the -6.5 and me with the 9 grillzboy -- another thing I like about this is a home dog with almost double digit points with a mascot that is quite literally a canine -- awoooooo!

[grillzboy224]

Yeah, I think that sounds good man let's both get this!

[louielouie]

No Rubio is going to make this a bit tougher

[sharper2]

Lets get it Lou

[Git Lo]

im convinced. no one here watching nba AT ALL lmao

[hustlehard617]

Another easy cover

[Thrilla]

Minnesota doesnt have 3 point shooters.

[A4K]

Oh Louie

[louielouie]

Down 2 units on Warriors games this year so definitely laying off them until the Cavs beat them on Christmas -- might play Clippers against them too -- but that was the wrong call today -- Wolves had every single factor going for them and couldn't capitolize -- very very very bad game but at least was close at the end -- warriors cover too much

[louielouie]

And did not want to buy out but should of with this stat

Rubio on court this season: Wolves 103.2, opponents 99.4
Rubio off court: Wolves 93.0. opponents 107.4

2nd bet this season blown by late scratches -- make me mad

[Git Lo]

whose ghost account are you from?

[Seto]

[R.P. McMurphy]

Should have bet them live like I said. End of 1st q I put down couple units on +15. They were down 13 so figured it was pretty easy play based on line

[goduke]

betting against the best shooter in the history of the nba is so fu.cking dumb

[EdV38]

Funny, because the title of this thread makes a lot more sense for tonight's game.
