imgv BIGGEST PLAY OF THE NBA SEASON (YTD: 20-20 -1.76 Units) 5 UNITS

**Checkerboard** · 12-11-06, 09:38 AM

1/2 point at Greek for Birthday Boy . . .

GL with this tonight imgv, I'm on it too . . . Greek has/(had?) it at 2.5 five or so minutes ago . . . may still be available, anyhow, I got it at 2.5.

My first post here, but is anyone factoring in the Spurs issues with the second half of back-to-back games?
L @ Houston to 21 (preseason so doesn't count)
L vs. Cleveland by 7
W (and covered) at NY by 12, but the game was MUCH closer
L to Charlotte by 3
W by 9 vs. portland
L. G.S. by 9

This is a trend that was evident last season as well. I don't know about throwing 5 units down on a back-to-back with the Spurs. Granted, it's a short travel, but I'm weary.

No travel, then. LA to LA. Staples to Staples. Point is, the Spurs are an older team and do NOT play well on the second half of back-to-backs. Period.

**imgv94** · 12-11-06, 12:21 PM

Guys I understand where your coming from but you need to understand the psychological reasoning into this play.

The Spurs have owned the Clippers forever

The Spurs (15-6) own a 30-4 record against the Clippers (10-9) since Dec. 10, 1997

This matchup is horrible for the Clippers..

Spurs- Better offense,better defense,better 3pt shooting,better rebounding,less fouls,less turnovers,more consistent play..

Living in Los Angeles I follow the Clippers close and know this is usually a bad matchup for them, The fact the Spurs lost last night turned a 3 unit play into 5 because of the motivation factor.. No travel last night as well..

I love this play!!! Good luck everyone

**babaoriley** · 12-11-06, 12:27 PM

Ok

IMGV, I've been following your picks on NFL games and you've been on a roll for the most part. I live in San Antonio, so between the two of us, I think we probably have our bases covered. I guess the good news is that Duncan appeared to get a little emotional last night---always bodes well for follow up performances. I may make it a small 3 unit play, but with a small hedge on an adjusted Clips by 3.5 line.

GL imgv...

**primo_skillz** · 12-11-06, 05:39 PM

I just picked up Spurs -2.5 for 2 units. Here we go boys...

**durito** · 12-11-06, 07:12 PM

San Antonio is 8-13 straight up and 7-14 ATS last 2 years on the 2nd night of back to backs vs 22-11-1 ATS on the road with rest.

Obvisouly the no travel here helps.

1* UTAH JAZZ PK

The Jazz players want to get their coach his 1,000th win and who better to do it against then the supposed best team in the West Mavs.

Here is a couple of stats that stand out to me.

Jazz 10-1 @ Home

Jazz 103 off/95 def @ Home

But check this one out
Jazz @ Home
49.2 FG% off--- 42.8 FG% def

Wow that is pretty solid..

**sergfro** · 12-11-06, 07:53 PM

you can get the Spurs at -2 GL

**BuddyBear** · 12-11-06, 08:57 PM

**Pistol Pete** · 12-11-06, 09:11 PM

**Jay Edgar** · 12-11-06, 10:06 PM

GL bro,
I like both your selections, Edgar Line notwithstanding.

**imgv94** · 12-11-06, 10:08 PM

Utah is looking pretty solid right now.. Would love a 2-0 +6.17 Unit day today..

GL Jay Edgar I wish I would get you to post more in my threads.. You and I go way back bro..

**primo_skillz** · 12-11-06, 10:10 PM

1-0 +1.00 Units so far today..

Unless a complete meltdown from the Spurs should be 3-0 today!!

**imgv94** · 12-12-06, 01:12 AM

FINAL RECAP:

4*SAN ANTONIO SPURS -3 +100 **WON**
1*SPURS -4 +117 **WON**
1* UTAH JAZZ PK **WON**

TODAY 3-0 +6.17 Units

YTD: 23-20 +4.41 Units

This season has been a roller coaster. Started off on a great run, then hit a brickwall. Now I'm on a 4 day winning streak and went from being down 7 units to being up 4 units.. This is a lesson to everyone not to give up. If you believe in yourself then stick with it. Eventually things will workout..

Now let's never be down for the season ever again!!!

Thanks to everyone who showed their support and those that believed in me and was giving me good advice even when I couldn't pick a winner for days..

May you all have great days ahead!!
