Thanks for the picks and goodluck to everyone who followed..

[Pauulzcappin]

This one is gonna be a nailbiter...

[Pauulzcappin]

Streak is over. Too bad. I move on.

[Pauulzcappin]

Fukking heat. underachieving pieces of shit. done for tonight and not chasing.

[Pauulzcappin]

Dallas 1st quarter would also be a play at -1.5, not playing at -2 and juiced but they will probably cover.

So Miami doesn't cover the 1st quarter by 2 and Dallas wins by 10, bad luck tonight.

[MakeItRain14]

That's fine ...can't win forever. Your still capping them books!!

169- Magic -1.5 -113 4U

The Nuggets are a mess right now. All the talk about Carmelo leaving came back strong after the game against the Knicks. Everyone started wondering about their future on the franchise and these guys already aren't the most disciplined group in the NBA.

Magic played well against the Clippers and seem to be getting better again. The total already opened high and it moving up is a very good sign that both teams won't play much defense and the edge goes to Orlando and their 3s if so.

Nene a tough guy but he can't stop Howard, he'll have his way inside. I expect a nice win for Orlando tonight.

[lunchbawks]

Line looks sharp. Two evenly matched teams from 3, from inside, the dwight factor has me leaning MAGIC. Good luck!

170- Houston 1st half -5 -108 3U

That's it for today I think. Might have a 2nd half play later.

[forloveofthegame]

i really like the lake show under. what you think?

[Pauulzcappin]

Those teams can go off at anytime, I actually thought the line would be set higher.

Not messing with totals lately so no opinion.

[forloveofthegame]

i like the line cause wiz wont go over 80. just hope lakers dont go over 120. not at the staples center though so im fairly confident. bol on the rockets 1st half. im on the full game

[MakeItRain14]

Good stuff paull!!

[Pauulzcappin]

Too bad Orlando couldn't pull it out late... on to tomorrow.

Sometimes I really wonder about these NBA games. More often than I'd like to admit it seems as if the teams are aware of certain lines and seem to do their OBVIOUS best to make or break a spread.

I can't remember the game but this one team scored 46 points in the 1st quarter and 13 points in the 2nd. Now some of you won't believe me but I'm an old timer who lived and played in Vegas long before it became a place for the kiddies, cell phones, computers and all the rest. Sharps had their runners lined up at phone booths to make their "calls"

One night at the Stardust (the only place a REAL PRO would place their action) myself and a few friends saw this literal "shady character" with sun glasses on at night and a coat pulled up around his neck and face as much as possible. As Holy God is my witness this turns out to be none other than Jerry Buss...owner of the L.A. Lakers.

I won't take the story any further other than to say IT WAS HIM and you can bet (no pun intended) that he "KNEW" or had GREAT influence in the outcomes of the games he bet before placing his wagers.

Officials bribed? Games fixed? Lines manipulated? Well, we can put a man on the moon, we have graft, vice, cheating and corruption in the highest echelons of our political, judicial, financial (Wall street),medical and military systems to name but a few and you don't believe that a basketball game can be fixed?
If you don't then I've got a bridge in New York City that I can sell you cheap!

171- Boston 1st half -2 -105 5U
172- 76ers 1st half -2.5 -111 3U
173- TEASER 76ers pk/Grizz -3.5 -110 3U

That's it for today, very busy and won't have a time to even give a small write-up.

Good luck to everyone.

[MakeItRain14]

Let's get itt!!

[raiders510]

all over the 6ers tonight...got em first quarter and moneyline

[Pauulzcappin]

Boston lets us down and a split on sixers game... onto tomorrow. would've bet both of em in the 2nd half but wasn't around

[Pauulzcappin]

174- Thuggets ML -102 3U

Spurs on a back to back against a great home team in the altitude, looking forward to Denver come out with a statement win. Blair and Splitter are also questionable for tonight...

any thoughts on the 1stQ? Leaning SAS-0.5 since they're all greased up from last night. And Pop knows that they're gonna need early points against a rested DEN team in the altitude.

Whatchya think?

[Pauulzcappin]

Sorry Shrink, didn't read your post...

[Pauulzcappin]

175- Thuggs 2nd half pk -105 2U

[Pauulzcappin]

175- Thuggs 2nd half pk -105 2U

Adding 2U

So 175- Nuggets 2nd half pk -105 4U

[Pauulzcappin]

Spurs win the game, congrats spurs backers.

[Pauulzcappin]

But of course an argentinian fukker is gonna flop with the game on the line...

[lapi7]

Hey Pauul...cappin' or nappin' tonight?

[Pauulzcappin]

I'll have a couple of plays for tonight, just looking which way the lines are moving

[lapi7]

Thanks Pauul...we've gotta stop meeting like this...I'm becoming too dependent on you. (nothing swishy intended)

[Pauulzcappin]

Come on, I'm not the right guy to follow on NBA. I love to discuss plays and stuff and sj is the best here.

[Pauulzcappin]

176- Raptors -5 -105 3U

Nets on a b2b and Calderon is back, hopefully Bargs can play also.
