NBA preseason action

[hawley]

Sorry to invade, hawley.

not at all, discussion is welcomed and very worthwhile

i will look at the lines and go my thoughts in about 10 minutes

what makes you like the cavs?

washington are another strong pre season team so i like that play at first glance

[delve_deeper]

They had a good finish against Moscow despite lack of depth and losing in the end. I think they were a bit embarrassed and will come back strong. Varejao will be back and should have an impact. I don't think Collins is comfortable with his lineup so I expect a lot of experimenting for Philadelphia. I don't see a lot of scoring, so I like the small line.

[hawley]

I actually like tomorrow a lot. Cleveland -1, Washington +4.5, Indiana +6, Indiana O201, Denver O200. Haven't played them yet so hopefully these lines hold up okay.

like the nuggets ATS tomorrow, thunder starters all played extended minutes tonight, so i expect them to get more rest tomorrow, the over looks good to

the twolves and pacers went 98 - 86 last time they played but minnesota were playing b2b which may explain their lack of scoring.

like washington but i dont thnk i could take the cavs

[delve_deeper]

I'm using Diamond for PS, so I've got time to think about it. Should have some final decisions tomorrow afternoon. Good thought on Denver ATS. I'll look into that one a bit more in the morning. Good luck tomorrow!

you to mate, ill be sure to stop by your thread to check out your final picks

denver is my favourite at the moment but that is based on anthony playing

I had few discussions with my friends.. We all agreed to put calvs.. only info i found is http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index....ook_ready.html

ill avoid it still i think, i like the 76ers squad but they have a lot of depth so may still be experimenting like its already been pointed out

[hawley]

nuggets line has already moved to 6.5 in the last half hour so at this stage i wont play it

[h3da]

yeah only putting 1 unit for the sake of action lol

[hawley]

phoenix starters are likely to get 30+ minutes against the warriors tomorrow so im tossing up between the suns ATS and the over

the over at 215 is also tempting me, i have been burnt recently by over / unders but last season we saw totals around 230 hit for these teams

i read an article the other day saying the warriors were not happy with the bench players and starters will continue to play big minutes until the bench prove themselves

i think with teh suns starters playing big, and the warriors starters being forced to play the over will hit

official play: suns / warriors over 215 for 1 unit

[hawley]

preseason record: 17 - 12

[MoYaL]

not bad .

[hawley]

not bad .

could of been a lot better. had a few real bad beats - lost a few plays by a few points but im not complaining

[delve_deeper]

Lines all moved away from my targets. Cleveland is a no play for me at -5. Denver is at -7.5, so again no play. Still waiting but doesn't look like much for the day.

very disappointed i didnt play the nuggets when they were -5, they could still cover -7.5 but its getting to far for me to play in preseason

[hawley]

adding a unit on the clippers -3.5

[forloveofthegame]

hey man what have i missed? ive been swamped with exams and focusing the little time on the playoffs right now.

[h3da]

It's at the end of the preseason so let's make the most out of it! I'm going 4 unit on clippers.. I'll still be happy to be up 5 units for the preseason if it's to lose

[kevinslack1016]

Phoenix has a habit of burning me when I take them so strictly out of displeasure for them Im takin Warriors ML

nothing like playing with house money and making a big play i like the play i hope to see the clippers destroy the kings

i know the feeling. Suns have not been good so far but i have a feeling tonight they turn that around. good luck with your play though buddy

[delve_deeper]

Like the Clippers pick. Added a unit myself. Got Cleveland -3, and the two overs. Let's end the preseason on a high note!

couple more units in the bankroll for regular season would be ideal!

good luck with the plays, the cavs line has moved in support of your play so i hope you hit it!

[forloveofthegame]

what do you see in the clippers game?

[h3da]

Calvs cashed.. Now need clippers to sweep 2-0

[hawley]

what do you see in the clippers game?

have you checked out sj55's thread? he has a good write up about it. clippers are taking this game very seriously in terms of rotation and minutes and the kings are struggling a bit with injuries

[gshock1]

Any thoughts on Utah?

[hawley]

Any thoughts on Utah?

difficult to say, they did beat them just the other day and 6 points is a bit to be giving but i havent seen anywhere whether williams will play and how many minutes kobe will play.

jazz last year were dominated by the lakers height but jefferson adds a bit more length than boozer and the lakers without bynum at the moment lack some height so i like the jazz matchup more right now.

im not playing it but if i did i would lean towards the over if anything, their last game almost went over and that was with a very low scoring first quarter

[hawley]

interesting to see on sbrodds that 77% are on the warriors ATS but the line has not moved from where it opened

[gshock1]

Is Nash playing?

[JGetz]

Any thoughts on Utah?

I was going to ask the same thing. I see you're avatar so I'm going to assume you are a fan of the Jazz. You think +6 1/2 is a stretch on the road against the champs. I'm thinking LA might take it easy tonight...still iffy though. any thoughts?

suns starters play 30+ minutes tonight according to gentry

jazz are 6 - 0 in the preseason and i think they are similar to the magic in how they treat preseason quite seriously

deron williams is listed to start and the jazz are rolling with their projected regular season starters

i cant comment on the lakers but i still dont think kobe plays huge minutes.

if i had to make a play and i may still make a small one it would be on the jazz but that can be a somewhat bias play

[hawley]

this nuggets game looks like it could crack 250 total points at this rate

hopefully the suns score at a similar pace

[delve_deeper]

Yep.. shaping up to be a nice day.

Hey I don't mind bias at all lol...I'm a huge D-Wills fan, been watching him since him and Dee Brown went undefeated at U of I only to lose to UNC in the Championship...(still bitter about that). I think I might make a small play on it, nothing too big but the more I look at it the more I like it. You going to have a thread for the regular season or just post in here?
