Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

lafaz32 · 12-14-09, 03:49 AM

I think they will cover the spread, Love will surely influence the outcome, but i don't think that he'll prevent the Wolves from getting blown away..

For sure I'm going huge on the Jazz...
As you mentioned the Jazz lost to the Wolves in Minny, but then.. Utah isn't a very good road team.. in fact they're not really -that- good.
But in Salt Lake.. damn they're untouchable.
Anyway, that's my opinion.

BOL

I took Minnesota Timberwolves +13

Good luck Beberebozo. Looking at the history, Minnesota has covered more times than not.

The A beats B

B beats C

so A should beat C, Is a concept that is not a great way to cap a game.

Look at the matchups, and the situation the individual teams are in.

vinny808 · 12-14-09, 12:09 PM

Which is why i'm not betting this game. I don't base my decisions based on that.

I would play the OVER, and screw the spread. Not alot of Defense on either side of the ball.

I think Utah -13 is the play here

maseda17 · 12-14-09, 12:44 PM

Agree with Houl. The over is the play here.

1800Gambler · 12-14-09, 01:18 PM

This is most certainly a no play. that being said it is a jazz degenerate play.

faansuetow · 12-14-09, 01:23 PM

Jazz can D up if they want to, but againt bad teams they tend not to bother with the D cuz they can outright win the game, MIN proves to have no D but still cam score with a good teams, so I agree to go with OVER on this as well

Jazz coming off a tough week, having to play the Lakers twice, San Antonio, and Orlando.

Could see a let down game to a Minnesota team that is starting to get healthy.

Exactly, Minnesota+13 @2 for ''all-in''

and Minnesota ML @12.5 (or +1250) is pure VALUE!

jdhender · 12-14-09, 03:19 PM

Like the Wolves here

roflc0pter · 12-14-09, 03:25 PM

The Kings who are a horrible team managed to blow out the Wolves...

Utah is a dangerous team at home. I see them winning by 20+

Utah - 13

LaiLai · 12-14-09, 04:27 PM

wolves won the last time they visit jazz. although it's onli by a point. at least i believe wolves can hold them out.

What type of value is that?

vinny808 · 12-14-09, 05:07 PM

I'm leaning towards Minnesota +13. NO value in the ML haha. Although i'm not betting this game.
I think the bookies added extra points against Utah because of their impressive performance against Lakers and Orlando this week plus, Minnesota just got their ass handed to them vs the Kings.

But looking at the history, TWolves have always kept it close. On a side note, Gomes for the TWolves is out.

Wilforth · 12-14-09, 05:16 PM

Utah will very likely play down to the level of competition. Over all, I like these today:

T'Wolves +7 (1H)
GSW/PHI UNDER 211.5
Denver -10.5

vinny808 · 12-14-09, 05:27 PM

wow, thanks for the heads up on the GSW play. The total went up several points since last night! Just put $100 on the under...and I know I said I wasn't playing this game... but...I chose Utah -13. Gomes out was my deciding factor.

Feel the same way, leaning towards the T-Wolves in this spot.

Nothing but a feeling

Looks like Santa came early this year, Minnesota AH&ML never in doubt

And Wilforth, thank you for points!

benjy · 12-15-09, 11:51 AM

Anyone watch this game? Did the Jazz play like crap? Or do the T-Wolves somehow match up (repeatedly) well against them? Two big upsets in Salt Lake and I'm curious.
