Who wants my NBA plays?

[paco]

paco whats ur call today......lakerboy whats ur call today

Only plays so far are in MLB, dodgers over 8 and Royals -125. Will look at NBA later

[Killuminati]

I think Bulls will go out to win cause they struggle for the last place to the playoff with Raptors if I'm not mistaken. And Cavs are already clear. So this means more for them but you can't forget Cavs is Cavs. Tough game.

"If LeBron plays, we have a better chance of winning," coach Mike Brown said, adding that he sees Friday as the more likely day to seriously limit his starters' minutes. "But I'm not going to compromise any of my guys just to get a win."

My book is 200.5. For the clipjoint game

Hit the under, that is a good number

I'm not used to over unders can anyone tell me how confident on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm more of a spread

[Amster22]

Just my 2 cents on the Cavs/Bulls game, from info from Toronto papers.

1) Cavs kept all their starters in the game and won it, even though Bosh got injured in the first quarter. Would've been a prime time to rest starters, but they didn't. Perhaps they were sending a message to a possible first round opponent, not wanting them to gain any confidence. This would apply against the Bulls too. Why let your possible future first round opponent beat you just over a week before the playoffs.

2) There was mention that Brian Colangelo, Raps GM, would call the league to make sure that Lebron and everyone played tonight, in the name of good sportsmanship, as it would be unfair for them to play against Toronto but not Chicago. It is expected that the league would tell Cleveland to play everyone as a result.

3) the game is nationally televised on TNT. Lebron is going to show off as usual, and try to get the win. Against Toronto he did it by having like 15+ assists so his teammates could get going. I could see that again tonight, mixed in with a few dunks.

4) CLE plays Indiana tomorrow which is a better game to rest the starters since its a back to back against a non-possible first round rival.

Again, this is just my 2 cents. My lean is CLE. I really believe this is a trap by vegas since everyone knows that the Bulls need this game.

and BOL!

There is a difference between confidence and willingness. My confidence is high, but my willingness is a little low. In other words, I think that it is worthy of 1x to 2x. I am on it as well

[FireMedic1614]

Here's a fun 3 team parlay
cavs +2
Lakers +2
Clippers u200.5
100 to win 600

[rvfrank]

clips suck away, also sac didn't perform too good last time when they were home vs spurs they only scored 86 i believe 200.5 is a good number last night numbers were 199.5 line moved to 197 now its at 200.5

199.5 U locked... what are your thoughts?

2/28/10 @ Sac town 92-97, this is the end of the season they will lolligag clips from b2b as well

Amster makes some good points here...Especially point TWO. In any sport a team is usually under the scope if they are looked on as holding back. The Cavs will play hard for 3 qtrs... I really am not so sure anymore about this play...A lot of unknowns !

[lakerboy]

Amster made some good points for sure but colangelo should look in the mirror and the league might turn around and ask him to tell his own team to play for 4 qtrs. it aint the cavs problem that other teams are in bad shape

True Dat.

I just can't understand how the Bulls are favs when they got beat by a bogutless bucks at home. That game should have been a gimme for a team needing wins to make the playoffs. So they lose that and now they're 2.5 point favs over the best team in the NBA????

I think the best way to play this is put money down on Cleveland ML at +1.20 right now and once everyone learns LBJ is playing the line will reverse and then take Bulls ML at +1.20

[axxL]

Thanks for the great picks last night LB! Hope you have another positive night tonight!

[lakerboy]

Thanks axxL and thanks for the points and thank you everyone for the points. Lets hope we have a good day.

[sweetjones55]

Good luck tonight to everyone on their plays.

LB I know you are a fan of TheGreeks lines. Interesting note, they got
Nuggets -1.5 -105, Lakers +1.5 -115 right now. They also got the Bulls at -2.5 which is the highest line any site is offering right now.

[OverUnder]

who does LB have tonight? Nothing so far?

[axxL]

What do you guys think about the Kings - Clippers under 200 today? The total in their last 3 games has been set from 201-204,5 and none of those 3 games has been close to hitting 200. The ref stats also support the under.. The ref stats for O/U 195-204,5 are 7-16, 13-11 and 4-12.
I know these 2 teams have nothing to play for, except maybe rivalry and pride, but do they care enough to play defense? Would really like some feedback from anyone!

[lakerboy]

lmao my local is offering bulls -3 and nuggets -1

[toosweet]

Cleveland shorthanded.................I'm going with them moneyline 3x. Hope you like it since I've pulled the trigger already.

[markeee]

lb what you on tonight bro??

[Amster22]

LOL, I agree Colangelo should look in the mirror, long and hard. After all, he assembled this group of soft, passionless players (aside from Jarrett Jack, Sonny Weems, and Bosh sometimes) who were supposed to convince Bosh to stay. He also hired a "nice guy" soft coach who has a hard time disciplining the team. And lets not even bring up their non existent defense. Obviously the team was broken well before Bosh broken his face and Turk broken his nose. But again, that would be more reason for Cleveland to rest their starters during that game. There was never a threat. The question is why didn't they, and what are they going to do tonight. The fact that CHI is the favorite obviously worries me, but for all the reasons I've mentioned before, I keep leaning CLE.

[southpaw74]

I have bulls -2, clips under 200.5, and lakers +2 for 4X each. Hope I'm correct?

[Cuse4tw]

Goodluck tonight boys, huge fraternity event tonight...date has huuuuuuuuge (.)(.)

[Tommy_de1st]

What you guys think bout Lakers/Denver Under?
Normaly that would me my pick for tonight but there is only one thing im afraid of: they have nothing to play for and their defence can be poor

[ShaolinFury]

then take the Hi.That's what i would do

[Killuminati]

To be fair, Mike Brown likely to play all starters vs. Bulls like Raptors. But look for a wave of inactives including LeBron Fri. vs. Indy

Nuggets -1 (3.5x)

[BetfairUser]

lebron is out tonight

[Gopi-1]

LeBron James and all the Cavs' starters will play on Thursday against the Bulls.

"We're tentatively expecting LeBron and friends to at least get significant rest on Friday against the Pacers. But for now, it's a full go for a nationally televised game vs. a team clawing for a playoff berth."
