BTW I locked in a +5.5. -115. Didn't want to wait. I have a city council meeting tonight. Gotta run a city.
if you guys can't get +5.5 let me know.
NO BOSH , Raps are just eating them up on the glass ... Hansborough , Valencunus and Amir are taking everything off the boards ... Keep it up Raps !!!

I can imagine the City issues are much easier to figure out then Beating the books LONG term ,,,, Am I wrong lol ... Thanks for the picks Grinder , Let's hope for a good night with the D game this evening !
Ahh, come on, Grinder. We are your true city...we don't even complain when the trash is picked up late!!
BTW - I know this is an NBA thread but my NFL system has a solid gold star play of the year game this week - seriously in 22 years it's 61-16 ATS. Has 2 or 3 picks a year!
San Fran -7.

RPI
Something I love watching throughout the year is the RPI of teams. This is the Ratings Percentage Index. Basically a Power Rating.
It does not take into account margin of victory but raw wins and losses on the road and at home. THEN it looks at the winning percentages of the teams THAT team has played and THEN it looks at the teams your opponents has played. So three levels of winning percentages.
Yours
Your opponents
Your opponents opponents
It's way way early but looking at tonight's game the Clippers are 3rd in the league with an RPI of .644 while Miami is 16th at .514 Miami has been playing teams under .500 and THOSE teams have been playing teams under .500.
The Clippers have been playing winning teams who have been beating other winning teams.
I would LOVE to figure out how I can make this into some sort of point spread but it evades me. . . at the moment.
