Philly is also 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. I really hate to go against the trend since you'll only be right once. Detroit is really terrible lately. You vowed them off multiple times. I think Atl will take this one, they are a good road team. What's your angle on Detroit?

The Nets are due a win mate and they will put strong resistance tonight against the 76ers,even though the 76ers have started to turn it around,they are by no means unbeatable,the nets can do with a strong performance by lopez & Harris,this will be a close one but i see the nets edging them.
As far as The hawks go,I think more than anything,the stats have a telling impact on this one.Although the Pistons have dropped six of eight overall matchups, they have gone 26-4 in their last 30 home games against with the Hawks.Despite finishing 27-55 last season, Detroit won both meetings at The Palace, limiting Atlanta to 88 points each time. The Hawks have averaged 88.1 points during their 1-9 road stretch in the series.That is saying something.Good luck!!

Slighty shitty news about the Nets. Looks like Terrence Williams is about to get traded and will not play tonight. That can be a factor.

I won't give that much importance,I think it all comes down to Lopez and Harris,and if Morrow gets those 3 balls rolling ,The 76ers will be in some strife.Terrence Williams is a guard forward and is coming off the bench mostly averaging 6.7 PPG,3.6 rebounds and 3.1 Assists a game.He is averaging 8.8 PPG against the 76ers in the 4 games that he has played against them.As you put it,slightly shitty news,but then not enough to harm the play here.

[demens]

He's not anything special and i still think the Nets will win this. I just counted on them being at full strength. And he really has played like shit this year, they were expecting him to have somewhat of a break out year. If the team were to turn the corner to become a play-off contender it would involve him taking his game to another level. I never liked him, but he is one of those high potential guys and if he somehow 1 day "gets it" he can be a damn good player.

True that,he has played like shit this year,that is precisely why it shouldn't make a difference to our bet here.IMO nets can get this one outright.Farmer has also been playing quite well so far this season,and if these guys put it together tonight,i don't think the 76ers would be that much of a problem.

[demens]

Trust me. Farmar is terrible, terrible basketball player. He ha done ok while Devin was out, but he kills the offense when he is in there subbing for Harris, makes no plays, its like a 1 in 2 chance it'll be a shot clock violation with noone but Farmar touching the ball.

He can be useful WITH Harris, he can hit a 3, play decent defense and is sort of clutch.

The fact cannot be denied that he has performed decently coming off the bench for now.Averaging 10 Odd points,and 4.5 assists a game is reasonably okay for a guy who is not getting many minutes in a game.Either ways it is more about Devin Harris & Lopez getting it together,so let us hope they do come through and end the skid tonight.

[demens]

He was suppose to be that 3rd guy to help those 2. He has the skills, i mean the kid was dropping triple doubles and 30 point games at will in the dleague. But he is an overconfident peace of streetball shit that makes the flashy play rather then the right play, turnover prone and allergic to contact and in love with floaters.

Amazing vision, great passing skills, hyper athletic. The #s off the bench are OK, but the Nets fan base were expecting 15/7/7 type of player in a Manu mold spark off the bench role.

Definitely did not live up to that due to his stupidity more then anything. Now traded for SASHA VUJACIC!!!!!

And 2 late 1st rounders.

Ohh well. Lets hope we see more of Kim Kardesh and Anna Kournakova in Newark. Nets working on their celebrity fan base before the big move to BK, lol.

LC

[Laker_crazy]

The Pistons Have Blown Away the Hawks and How,good to be on the right side of pistons for once!!

[Laker_crazy]

The Totals have finally made some sense today going 2-0 so far,hoping can make it 3-0 with the over in the GS Game!

[alamo]

Nice call on the totals LC. I was sure the Lakers game was doomed. They only scored 30pts combined in the final qtr !

Yep,because they had blown it open in the 3rd,Hate the lakers though for messing up my 1st quarter,that was the only thing they gave away,since the start of the 2nd,there was no looking back for them.

[demens]

You're picking GS,without Curry to go OVER 214 points....again.

I'm on the other side on this one. Dont get what you see in that game to make that play.

Now This time the Books did know that curry would not be available for this game,still the line was set this high,says more than something and add to that the twolves are anyways not that great on defense,so curry or no curry,someone can substitute and score,or may be a few players can put their hand up.Let us watch.Good luck on being on the other side.!

Late Money came in on the Over in this one as well.Let us see what happens !

[Laker_crazy]

This Game has Frantic pace to it,if only the warriors can make their free throws .....7/16 so far.....arghhh!

[demens]

Huge 2nd qtr. Its gonna be close either way.

[alamo]

We need this last Qtr bad. Its getting kinda desperate. 4unit swing on this final 12mins

[demens]

You need 60 points. I need 59 or whatever as long as Minny wins, ill take the loss on the UNDER. Both would suck.

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!

[Laker_crazy]

I wouldn't regret these two picks though,If this has to be a 4th losing night in a row,so it be,we were going just fine till the 5.30 mark in the 3rd with as many as 35 points scored till then,both teams are getting ample chances to score,so i would not say i read the line movement wrong in this one.Rest as always would have to depend on luck !!

Yes, great point. There are many ways a simple basketball game can be manipulated. You can either bribe the coaches, individual players, and the Referees. The point of sports-betting is to determine which side the bookie is on and side with them. As we all know, Bookies, at the end of the day, wins majority of the money.

[turkstock]

hang in there LC, it only takes a few wins to regain confidence

[demens]

Give me a break. If you think that a team scoring 46 1 qtr and 13 in the next is something mind blowing then you really dont know much about this league. While the examples you gave are extreme, this game is nothing but runs, teams get cold, they get hot and it happens dozens of time per game. There is no magical power influence guy hiding behind some curtain in vegas that makes that happen.

[Laker_crazy]

Seems like the Warriors TT is gonna finish at 108,we ll miss out on a winner by half a point yet again......
