    How are the Clippers only -14.5 tomorrow against Charlotte?

    Now this is bwin.com so it may very well come out at a more expected -16.5 or so on US books. But seriously, I know the books will never come out with a +22 spread but it seems only that would do justice to how bad this Bobcats team is. This could easily be a 115-66 game

    I have never seen an NBA spread above -15.5 in a long time. I think the Clippers can easily walk over them, but I will never bet a spread about 6 or 7 on any game, too many unknowns when it gets to cover by DDs

    I remember the Thunder were -16.5 against the Bobcats last year once and they won by at least 25.

    Yeah I remember the Celtics being favored by 18 over Cleveland in 10/11. Don't think I've ever seen 20.

    Well I'm not saying it's a lock or any crap like that but I think it has value and will most likely bet it. Good luck whatever you decide.

    I don't think I have ever seen anyone say "only -14.5" when looking at a NBA game.

    lol.

    but if denver were favored by 10 against them on the road on a b2b, then surely the clippers, who are a far better team than denver and are at home should be favored by like 16-17? we'll see but I predict the opening line on Pinny will be at least -15.5

    IN '08 I recall the Celts giving 22 to the Heat.

    seriously, spread is a coin flip that depends on this factor

    Lol. I was being sacrastic. I imagine u were too.

    I obviously know teams do that, and i know they can be up 25 in the 4th and not cover but my question was did you expect this spread to be a bit higher?

    Either way, clippers bench are better than the cats starters

    Assuming the public will be all over the Clippers you gotta love the 1st half play. Typically Clippers will dominate a bottom feeder like Charlotte and ease off the gas when they got the game in the pocket. -14.5 seems like a number that Charlotte SHOULD cover cause no way are the Clippers going to go all out like they would a playoff-off bound team. I still have memories of the Rockets/Clippers game where they eased up in the 2nd half and allowed Rocket backers to cover. Bobcats are no Rockets but being a very bad team can sometimes be just as good ATS as a pretty good team.

    Aren't the Bobcats a HORRIBLE Ats team as well? They were like 20 games under .500 last year Ats and are on pace to be so as well this year.

    I'll even lay -24.5 for +500 or so on another euro book.

    Just take Clips first half then, their bench will roll over Bobcat's 2nd Q.

    I took the Clippers pretty big. Got in just before the line drop phew. I say they win this game by 30 at least.
