Trying to talk myself out of WIZARDS +7.5...

tealish · 03-11-10, 04:52 AM

And yes, ATL is coming off a disappointing loss to the knicks and should be looking to bounce back big against another basement dweller team... but inspite of this...i STILL like Washington!!! What's going on, thoughts!??

PAYTON20 · 03-11-10, 04:53 AM

Ya don't do it my gut says ATL out for revenge after loss @ NYK. ATL could easily cover

kobefanatic · 03-11-10, 04:54 AM

play the under dude, don't forget the wiz just lost by 20+ to mil on their own homecourt

Yea dude we all have espn haha. I say Hawks are about to smash- better team and playing for something. Coming off 2 losses in a row... Could easily be a big win for the Hawks

phenomenon · 03-11-10, 05:14 AM

I know u have but it is easier to look here than change page again and again,U can see I am new here

try not to see my inexperience things lol

what do u think over 194.5 or under ?

nulldah · 03-11-10, 06:05 AM

can't see how wizards can pull this off.. but again, unusual things often happen at thursday nite

this hawk team, imo, when they beat a team, it is high chance they beat them again (with similar scoreline) the next time they meet, we see how those 2 loses came from, knicks where they have problem 2 previous time n heat, where it is 50-50 between them. n two previous times these two teams met, hawk beat them (again, similar scoreline, 11 n 12 pts).. add in extra spice of the need to return to winning streak, -7.5 is very tempting for me

but still, very much unsure about this. unlike you, i'm trying to talk myself out of hawk -7.5

obie · 03-11-10, 06:44 AM

Dont think its a good idea man, hawks played really bad in 2 games know, and i think they will prove them self that they can smash a bad team on the road..

MrSink · 03-11-10, 07:06 AM

I will put some units on hawks

Gopi-1 · 03-11-10, 07:07 AM

It's TNT's NBA Thursday, anything can fukkin' happen, proceed with caution...

How many baskets is 7.5 points? Atlanta can easily cover this spread in the last 5 minutes of the game. Washington have invented a new habit of choking in the last few minutes of the 4Q. That habit may be on display tonight.

^^ this!

No play > ATL -3.5 1H > ATL -7|WAS +7 imo

cala56 · 03-11-10, 09:03 AM

Wash 7.5 is very good bet

rkelly110 · 03-11-10, 09:13 AM

Atlanta's last 5 game avg. Offence @ 109.4 and won by an avg of +8.2.

Wash. avg offence is @ 84.2 -25.2. They lost by an avg. of -9.6.

Atlanta is the play. Buy the hook.

Aurelius · 03-11-10, 09:18 AM

wiz also about to commence 5 games in 6 days... they wont be pushing things

kingofgamble · 03-11-10, 09:32 AM

atl for me

THE DEVIL · 03-11-10, 09:50 AM

atl for me tonight buig big 10 units.. they play fierce and pissed off after a losss... young team will take wiz by dd tonight!!

mehow · 03-11-10, 10:14 AM

Road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
ATL are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Washington.
the line doesn't seems to be to high, i will take atlanta

Tomasitas · 03-11-10, 10:21 AM

if you dont know what team to choose,better skip this game

nocode1 · 03-11-10, 10:25 AM

Atlanta -7.0 x 1 unit

Cant see Atlanta struggling at all with this one leading up to the playoffs

cecbo · 03-11-10, 10:29 AM

I like Atlanta in this spot...

homers54321 · 03-11-10, 12:59 PM

dont do it teal, wash sucks and their only competitive game recently was boston. id take atl -5 (B+2)

QUEST001 · 03-11-10, 01:06 PM

I believe atl is a trap 2nit..hard game to cap but what the hell gonna make a small play on wiz, takin the points..GL I have gone back and forth on this...

obamaismyuncle · 03-11-10, 01:09 PM

I'm on Wizards +7.5 and may bet on Wizards ML later.

FLO31 · 03-11-10, 01:13 PM

I'm on Washington also...

BillAccpetor · 03-11-10, 01:37 PM

Atlanta...

tealish · 03-11-10, 11:22 PM

Should've went with my gut, but I no played this. Washington puts up a fight like I thought they would, and Atlanta just doesn't have it in them to put teams away right now.
Seems like almost all of you liked ATL to cover EASILY....hope it wasn't that big a play for you guys

Hi LB! I am rather new at this forum. I would also very much appriciate if you could explain why it is 7? I bought 0,5 point on Atlanta last night and had them at -6,5 but in this case it didn´t help. Thanks.
