Hey Everyone. New User here. NBA has treated me well over the previous year and a half, but that being said I am only a year and a half into my career so follow/fade at your own risk. I decided to start a thread as this is probably the most dedicated community I have come across in my 18 months on the various sites and forums, and thus this is the first one I have felt compelled to create a username. I feel I can be a positive addition to the community and contribute by providing my insight while gaining and learning knowledge from all of you.
So a little about this thread:
I will be posting my plays. All picks to win 1 unit unless otherwise noted.
I will track plays.
I mostly only play spreads, I rarely will post an Over/Under
MOST IMPORTANTLY
I thoroughly enjoy talking these picks out and I will facilitate discussion as well as answer any questions and comments related to my picks. I am a big believer in the intangible aspects of the game, as a former collegiate athlete, I feel these are imperative and must be accounted for, yet putting a point value on them is where the skill and art of handicapping comes in to play.
I look at lines based on tangible measurable stats, and then incorporate intangibles such as coaching styles, schedules, motivation, hotness, etc...
Thanks for reading and I hope together we can enjoy whatever is next to come. I will not be a stranger and you will see me active on other threads as we can discuss and work together to all improve our handicapping abilities as a community.
