GroundnPound - NBA Picks Season 09/10

[GroundnPound]

This is my thread to see If I am the real deal in NBA picks. Lets see how this goes.
Phoenix Suns @ LA Lakers
Play -7.5

I think the Suns are just about to hit the speed bump and hit it hard. The line is fairly high to cover but I think Kobe and co will cover the spread and give the Suns there second loss. Phoenix are backing up after last nights crushing of New Orleans, look for Bynum to give Frye more then he can handle. People are out of no where claiming Frye is some starting centre, at Portland he was the third string centre. Will Nash be able to keep up with Brown and Farmar's speed, this game has Laker routs written all over it.



Current Record = 0 Wins / 0 Losses

I hate betting with the Lakers but I think you are correct in your pick and analysis. GL, hope you hit it. OK to call you Mound-pounder? Pounding mound rules, as any heterosexual (or lesbian) will tell you/agree, so it is a compliment!! Peace out Man.

Phoenix Suns @ LA Lakers
Play -7.5 WIN


Current Record = 1 Wins / 0 Losses

Maybe I should take my own advice I played $100 on the Bears todays, Jay Cutler a quarterback franchise the dude through 5 interceptions.

Thanks for the comment man, hopefully I can win everyone some money.

Friday

Utah Jazz @ Philadelphia 76ers
Play + 2.5 Utah

Short write up but basically Utah is better on paper, better in recent head to heads and Philly just barely beat New Jersey. If you look at Philly last five games at home they have only beaten Milwaukee and New Jersey and lost to teams like Boston and Washington, if we believe Utah is still in the bracket or close to the bracket of Boston then I think Utah is the best bet.

Take this winning pick



Current Record = 1 Wins / 0 Losses

At half time looks like another winner already

Utah Jazz @ Philadelphia 76ers
Play + 2.5 Utah WIN



Current Record = 2 Wins / 0 Losses

I tried parlaying my own pick with Boston straight out and Washington Capitals who won, but Boston screwed the parlay up.

I will have my next pick up soon

looking forward to it

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls
Play -6.5 Chicago

Chicago is coming off some hard losses. I think this game they will run over Philadelphia. Philadelphia made a poor road team in the Jazz look good. I believe Derrick Rose will light up tonight.



Current Record = 2 Wins / 0 Losses

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls
Play -6.5 Chicago LOSS


Current Record = 2 Wins / 1 Losses

Wow just missed the line Chicago won by 6 not 7 thanks to a three pointer by Philly in last 15 seconds when outcome was already clear. Back to the bets tomorrow.

Houston Rockets @ LA Lakers
Play -9.5 Lakers

Lakers are such a better team it's not funny even if Yao was playing the line would be the same. I think Lakers take this comfortably.

[SportsTerminator]

Becareful on them Fakers, but much success on your pick.

Houston Rockets @ LA Lakers
Play -9.5 Lakers LOSS

Current Record = 2 Wins / 2 Losses

Ok Looks Like I hit a bit of a speed bump.

MONDAY

Portland @ Atlanta
Play Under 188.5

I am suprised this has such a high line, it is mostly due to Atlanta scoring a lot in there last few games. Though these teams both have big winning streaks going and Portland have some interior defence that can keep this game to about 47 points a quarter. Making under the play here.
