I agree... one would think the Spurs would win... but the line disagrees...

LLXC · 12-27-09, 02:34 AM

Back to back for the Spurs. I'm leaning Under.

bsimp3021 · 12-27-09, 02:34 AM

i dont think the back2back factor will be that important as their game was over in the 2nd quarter today (unfortunately for me)

southpaw74 · 12-27-09, 02:38 AM

Why were spurs only -2 tonight at bucks? They rolled the entire game. Sometimes it's just an easy play. On the other hand suns at -3 looked too easy so warriors were the play to avoid the trap. Sometimes you overthink, sometimes you underthink, and sometimes you get it right... That's gambling boys

Take a look at the previous history of match ups between Spurs and Knicks the last three years and the Spurs performance at MSG. Perhaps that has something to do with the line?

If not....it looks like free money to me!

bsimp3021 · 12-27-09, 02:50 AM

i dont know
a system i made would put the spurs as 5ish point favorites, but would make it a no bet because of the ATS records of the 2 teams
it has made me about + 20 units this year and last year i tested it for 45 days and it made me +18 units

Spurs are horrible on back to backs. they also struggle against fast athletic teams especially on the road. Knicks got that bad taste in their mouths still from the heat on christmas day

if it looks too good to be true it usually is

bsimp3021 · 12-27-09, 03:14 AM

this game could go either way
im taking the team that won its most recent back to back and is 7-2 in their last 9

Mexes · 12-27-09, 03:21 AM

I think the spurs will go on a 6-7 games winning streak, I really like this play. but i'll take the spurs ML!

bsimp3021 · 12-27-09, 03:28 AM

same here

Squares

Sharkl11 · 12-27-09, 04:03 AM

spurs!

TGHMak · 12-27-09, 04:04 AM

Spurs seems like a safe bet, but who thought the knicks would have a 7/10 streak during any part of the season

marabdl86 · 12-27-09, 04:13 AM

Points anyone?

bsimp3021 · 12-27-09, 04:40 AM

ya you also think the nba is fixed...
so there you go

marabdl86 · 12-27-09, 06:18 AM

refs controll the points. yes i believe it's fixed.

VIILegio · 12-27-09, 06:30 AM

Last night Spurs used all their roster and i think they are not so tired to lose against the NYK.....-2 Spurs

Fed_42420 · 12-27-09, 06:31 AM

If it was fixed the players would have to be in on it. No way! But back to the spurs and knicks, the spurs made me money last night, not as confident they will do the same tonight.

Diesel79 · 12-27-09, 08:24 AM

I think its 50-50 chance which way this game goes..... Spurs is much better team but they have B2B away game. Probably stayin away

I thought the Spurs game was the trap last night but it was the Suns game but today I think the Spurs game against NY is the trap.

darkenergy · 12-27-09, 09:36 AM

All right, here are my gathering regarding about B2B things.

Spurs is B2B today, and they are 1-3 when play B2B this season; BUT an interesting thing hidden behind the 1-3 record from my observation.
Spurs B2B games this season:
Otc 28 Loss (0-1)
Played Chicago and lost on the road (Chicago played much better in earlier of the season)
Nov 6 Loss (0-2)
Played Portland and lost on the road (Portland is more solid team than Spurs, IMO)
Nov 19 Loss (0-3)
Played Utah and lost at home (no excuse for this sh*t, Jazz just plain suck on the road in early part of the season, and Spurs lost at home, after a previous night's loss

)
Dec 16 Won (1-3)
Played GWS and won on the road.

So, there you have it, my 2 cents record of 1-3 in all B2B games mean nothing as Spurs loss to competitive if not better teams than they are (they would loss to those teams if not playing b2b anyway).
So in this game, I wouldn't count b2b as a big factor. I do like Spurs as a better team for -2 or -3.
What you guys think?

PAPSMEAR · 12-27-09, 09:57 AM

B2B means shit when the previous night was a training drill. That said, this line smells like a big dirty bear trap. Vegas are pleading for Joe Public to back the spurs. Definite concern. The under is the way to go here boys.

Can you drop couple line of your reasoning behind that UNDER.
I am slightly leaning OVER.
I know NY are suck, can't put much score on the board, BUT SAS has been score 100+ in 9 out of their 10 games, and they let their opponents tailing right behind their a**. If that's the case in this game, I afraid a low scoring game will not happen. Giving the fact of the line -2 is fishy in your opinion, so the game could came down to the wire or go to OT.

jcljack25 · 12-27-09, 10:22 AM

I live in NJ and all the coverage on the Knicks is talking about more defense and how they are better when they slow the game down. I have not looked at the lines yet but I think this is going to be about defense more than out running the Spurs tonight. Spurs -2 caught my eye right away, just like the Suns last night so i am a bit worried about it. Probably no play for me on this but if forced to choose, I would still lean towards Spurs.

The bright side, everybody has a 50/50 chance of being right.

PAPSMEAR · 12-27-09, 10:24 AM

Big totals are scarce as hens teeth at The Garden (the under has cashed 5 from the last 5 there). Spurs on the road B2B against a team that is now keeping things tight and competitve. I see the under cashing. A bit of downward line movement already. I see this line getting to about 194 by game time.

dimon · 12-27-09, 12:31 PM

if it is too easy...then NY would cover in more game like that

RobMoney215 · 12-27-09, 12:36 PM

Knicks win easily....Spurs blew their load against the better team last night...their gonna come to NY sleeping on them...GL
