    NBA Game of the Year - I LOVE THIS PLAY!!!!

    I'm not one to call a play a lock, but this one is IMO. I'm not saying it will be a blowout, it will most likely be a pretty close game. You won't see me avoiding the thread if it loses and I don't have $50K on this game like some people claim when they like a game. I have 2x my standard wager of $100. I just LOVE this game, but being a disciplined bettor, I don't go ALL-IN

    Atlanta Hawks -1 (-110)


    Get it now before this line starts to climb!! Wouldn't surprise me to see it get to -2 or 2.5 by tonight.

    I'd be more than happy to discuss if people have questions as to why I like it.

    I have a question for you:

    Why did 20-10 Atlanta open at +1 here vs. 12-22 Detroit? That doesn't strike you as odd?

    It does strike me as odd. But it's moved two points already (2.5 in some shops) and now is the time to take them. I didn't say it was going to be a blowout, but a hot road team like the Hawks have the talent and experience to get by a streaky Pistons team.

    And when I say Game of the Year...I know the year is only 4 days old.

    I guess it should have said something different. I wanted to avoid the Lock thread jinx, etc.

    this game is such a red flag, having a few teddies on here saying take Hawks only affirms the red flag. Detroit is the play if there is one.

    With all of the steam that is moving this line it appears that the majority of the public agrees with you. Like close to 90% of the public. And back to the fact that the Pistons opened up as a -1 favorite and are now getting +1.5 or +2 means that the line crossed the magic number of 0 ( zero )...rarely does that mean good news for the "new favorites". This is too much of a public play.

    Revenge factor for Detroit after taking the Hawks to Triple OT on the road...they've handily won all 3 games of their homestand recently and the Hawks have the Celtics on deck at home tomorrow. Detroit is the pick

    I got this last night at +1 and again at -1 this morning. Not HUGE bets by any means, but I think the Hawks win.

    I would hardly say the Celtics are a worry for anyone right now.

    4 straight losses, 3 of which by 21+ points

    I'm with you on this. Hopefully Hawks don't show their inconsistent side.

    I got on Hawks -1.5 as an alternate spread when they were at +1. Figured it was heading there anyway so I was happy to get what I thought would be the closer for +125.

    Like this play for this simple fact that the Hawks gave up a 19 point lead after 3 quarters in their last encounter.

    When they're switched on, they can control this Pistons, but when they relax and take them for granted they shit the bed.

    They will not shit the bed tonight.

    Best of Luck VI, hopefully the Hawks get out of there with a win.

    ATL are 6-1 ATS on away games against teams under .500 and they're 4-1 ATS as a 1-2.5 point favorite. They're also the better team so I have no idea why they opened up as a 1 point dog, even though Pistons play a lot better at home and are on a 3-game winning streak. Hawks or no play imo.

    You're bragging about posting this play first? You're insinuating that VI stole your play? Or, does VI usually fade you?

    Either way, go Hawks.

    This post reminds me of the Sports announcer who says this kicker has not missed a field goal all season long right before the snap,

    ball is snapped the kick is up and holy shit he missed it...........

    stuckey is going to play tonight and he messes everything up for the pistons, they won 3 in a row without him, and at the beginning of the season they finally won a couple of games when they put him on the bench. He is a cancer to the team, I would back atlanta here if he plays

    And you would hope if the Hawks get a lead, they learned their lesson and wont let up like they did the last time these teams played.
