Hrm.. Kobe probable now? Still like the under although I probably would of kept it at 1 unit. Ah well.

KOBE IS PLYING! the reports r wrong!!! i have a friend who traveled to watch the oklahoma game vs. lakers...he says he saw kobe practicing pre game

What a shit call on this under. **** Kobe and his egotistical "Ughh, I'm so sick, watch me score 40 now" routine.

Jackass.

to be honest...u should have gone 2-5.....no idea how cavs covered.....down the whole way up until 4th quarter and how the wizards go from up 14 to down 12 in 12 minutes is mind boggling! cavs -11 was the worst pick and how u take bucks +9 ??? wtf? bucks r missing michael redd and they cant shoot for shit on the road.....bulls r just soooo much better and avg 95 at home vs bucks 84 on road! bucks +9 was also the wrong pick but u got lucky on that one.....taking under for lakers game makes no sense anyways! lakers are high offensive road team going into a city that has no defense and all young players with no good players to compete...how the thunder managed to get into overtime is mind boggling vs kobe,fisher,odom and artest......to be honest only 2 of your picks were good.....u went 5-2 on a lucky night...most other nights u woulda went 2-5 or 3-4

My numbers have Cavaliers -15 in this spot. I've hit 60% the last 2 seasons with this same formula, there's no reason why I shouldn't trust it. Cavaliers are that much more talented than the Wizards. I'll make this play every day and win 60% of the time.

and how u take bucks +9 ??? wtf? bucks r missing michael redd and they cant shoot for shit on the road.....bulls r just soooo much better and avg 95 at home vs bucks 84 on road! bucks +9 was also the wrong pick but u got lucky on that one.....

Bucks +5 on my scale. Not so much that I have the Bucks rated high, it's that I have Chicago Bulls rated LOW. They are not a very good team. They used a very valuable mid-season rental last year with Tim Thomas to help them in their stretch run and early in the playoffs, and they also lost a valuable Ben Gordon. They are a .500 team at the BEST. They didn't add anything in the offseason that would of been anywhere close to making up for the loss of those two players.

Your value of Redd is also higher than mine. He's a solid player but alot of his offensive value is lost with his defense. His absence is one of the reason I played the under in that game as well. You are getting less offense, but better defense from the players who would replace him. Despite his absence, I have these two teams very closely rated, and the Bulls should of only been favored by about 4 or 5 here at home. 9 was way too many to give to the Bucks.

taking under for lakers game makes no sense anyways! lakers are high offensive road team going into a city that has no defense and all young players with no good players to compete...how the thunder managed to get into overtime is mind boggling vs kobe,fisher,odom and artest

#1, I made the under play when I thought Kobe was going to be out tonight, Not being a 100% also helped it. I mentioned I would of dropped that play to 1 unit if I knew he was going to play, but still would of play. Pau and Kobe are the primary offensive cogs in that team. Everyone else gets their opportunities because of those two. Andrew Bynum is a far more effective defender than Pau, but not as polished offensively. I'm always looking to play the Lakers under with Pau out. I laugh that you include Derek Fisher in your comments. To be perfectly blunt, I believe that Derek Fisher is a washed up joke that is holding this team back from being a team that could win 70 games. He was always a stand outside pop-em 3 point shooter, but he used to be able to play defense. He can't even keep up with sub-par PG's anymore defensively. Odom and Artest are above average offensive player, but they are even better defenders.

I appreciate your ridiculous, uninformed analysis of my plays tonight. Keep working on your handicapping, it needs alot of dusting up. You're using alot of irrelevant factors in your decision making. Good luck with the rest of your season there big guy! I'll just keep pounding out another 60% season.

Great calls today.

Sekrah · 11-04-09, 12:54 AM

Thanks Gaston. The train will keep on rolling. We'll have down days, we'll have up days.. Hell I was down around 5 after just the second day, but we've bounced back.

In the long run, this is a good train to be on.

That poster on top is a big moron. What does he think favorites win all the time? Vegas would go broke if there wasn't upsets. You picked the teams that matchup well against one another and picked the points you thought were good value. So many haters on these forums. We should all be happy for one another. Looking forward to your picks tomorrow man
