GiveMeaBJ Thursday Play (4-2) (66.6% +2.50 Units)

1-1 last night -1.20 Units

Portland Blazers -2.5 (-110 TheGreek) to win 2 Units
Suns are very average on the road Blazers much better at home. Home team has won the last 5 meetings between the two and I don't think that is much of a coincidence as the Suns and Blazers both traditionally play well at home and poor on the road. Portland struggling with Oden, Outlaw, and Fernandez out but I think the style of the suns fast pace offense will help to make those losses feel a little less imposing as the guards will be more involved and less high post play is going to be happening. Jason Richardson may not go for Suns which would help slow them down a bit. Phoenix has lost 5 straight on the road and give up 106 per game on the road. I think this is a good spot for Blazers and Roy always comes to play on TNT.
Blazers 104, Suns 95

I expect a better than average night from Frye, something to factor in.

Its a gamble.

[ccavin2]

i need some winning picks for thursday...can you help out

[ccavin2]

im leaning toward suns and troy for my thursday night picks....any advice?

[BernardMadoff]

For what its worth, I think the Suns have lost the last 16 times theyve been on TNT.

[ccavin2]

so they should be due for a win on TNT

[BernardMadoff]

so they should be due for a win on TNT

Well that could have been said from loss 3 through 16 also.

[ccavin2]

i would have to agree with you on that...i just gotta pick some winners i hate losing

[pattymayo]

maybe you should stop betting nba.. ?

I love PHoenix here

[GiveMeaBJ]

If you came here for winners stop betting browse the forum for a month and find a guy that wins and you trust to deliver the goods. During that whole process read the good cappers and you will pick up things here and there that will help you in the long run. No one starts betting and is just phenomenal. You have to learn, adjust, and "get it". Once you do that you will be able to win.

Suns can light up the scoreboard pretty damn fast... no reason they should be the underdogs here.. Portlans a really good home team though, Phoenix is the better team overall.. Kinda of a tossup in my opinion but I'd say Phoenix wins this

[iceminers26]

like your score, I'm on the under 201 so hope we both hit

[GiveMeaBJ]

I don't think its exactly a toss up. Portland slightly worse team then the Suns. Yes, the Suns came out of the gate hot but this team has cooled off and will pull the annual choke job soon enough. If this is a video game and I am ranking teams on a scale of 1-100 I think Portland is about an 82 ovr and Suns about an 86 ovr. However, Portland at home 89 ovr, Suns on road 80 ovr. Yes Suns are a better team by a little but they don't respond well on the road and in a court with a big home court advantage they could struggle.

Hoping for the Suns and I guess now I am hoping it stays under for iceminers.

[iceminers26]

Forget the exact number, but Roy's played something like 94 minutes in their past 2 games so I expect them to slow it down every chance they get instead of running with the Suns. Think there will be fewer positions and this one will stay under the total, might be good for the Blazers ATS as well because it will take the Suns out of their game.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Suns roadies this year:
@ Denver/lost by 6/Scored 99 (Under)
@ Dallas/lost by 1/Scored 101 (Under)
@ Lakers/lost by 20/Scored 88 (Under)
@ Cavs/lost by 17/Scored 90 (Under)
@ Knicks/lost by 27/Scored 99 (Under)
@ Raptors/won by 19/Scored 113 (Under)
@ Wolves/won by 25/Scored 120 (Under)
@ Hornets/lost by 7/Scored 103 (Under)

Thats what they have done on the road since starting 10-2 and being proclaimed the best team ever.

Just what I expected from Channing Frye, too bad I couldnt find a prop on him.

[BernardMadoff]

For what its worth, I think the Suns have lost the last 16 times theyve been on TNT.

Looks like this held true again.

[ccavin2]

Looks like this held true again.
