    my nba plays
    Decided to create my own thread to track my picks. NBA is a league I know the best so I think I can make a decent profit over the season. I only make 2 or 3 picks per week so lets see how this strategy works. All opinions are welcome

    My first play is ORLANDO -13,5

    I almost never bet spread this high because rarely teams care enough to win by 30+ points. Usually good team gets a 15-20 point lead and then relaxes and wins by 10-15 points. But Orlando is different...... at least right now...
    Their last 3 preseason games:
    Oct 20 vs Dallas.... Orlando won by 25
    Oct 18 @ Atlanta...Orlando won by 29
    Oct 16 vs Chicago..Orlando won by 38

    All games were decided after 3 quarters and their bench only increased the lead in 4th quarter and didnt gave anything back. And all 3 teams are much better than Washington also. First regular season game in new arena should also give some extra motivation to Magic players.... and going against number 1 draft pick should be another motivational factor for Jameer Nelson to give his very best tonight.
    Orlando won their last season home opener by 14 points..... but they were leading by 31 after 3 quarters. Lets hope something like this wont happen tonight. BOL

      My second play of the season is MIAMI -8,5

      Miami last 2 games:

      10/29/10 vs Orlando.... 26 point win (game was decided after 3 quarters when Heat was up by 24 points)
      10/27/10 @ Philly .......10 point win (game was decided after 3 quarters when Heat was up by 26 points)

      I have no idea why this line is so low.... the way Miami has played in their last 2 games, this most likely will be 20+ points blowout. I dont think Miami takes this game lightly because they already lost 1 game and New Jersey is 2-0 at the moment. I just cant see how could Nets stay close enough to cover..... maybe somekind of last minute crazy scoring from Nets gives them a cover but thats like 20 % chance of this happening...

          ORLANDO -7


          Last 3 games between Orlando and New York:

          04/09/10 118-103 Orlando 15 point win (2-nd half Orlando was up by 24 points)
          12/02/09 118-104 Orlando 14 point win (2-nd half Orlando was up by 24 again)
          11/29/09 114-102 Orlando 12 point win (2-nd half Orlando was up by 15)

          I cant see how could Knicks hold Orlando under 110-115 points. And Orlando defense has been great this far.... Miami scored 96 on them and Washington 83 and in preseason games their defense was even better..... opponents scored against them 76, 73, 67, 73, 81, 86 and 88 points.

          Orlando has 3 off days since last game to prepare for the Knicks and I think they will take this game very seriously because the way they lost their last game...

              ORLANDO -17,5


              I dont think this game will be much different than Miami-Minnesota game yesterday..... maybe backdoor cover for Minny but much more likely it will be 30+ point blowout

                      ORLANDO -16


                      Orlando last 2 games against bad teams:

                      11/03/10 MIN 128-86..... 42 point win (+39 after 3 quarters)
                      10/28/10 WAS 112-83.... 29 point win (+31 after 3 quarters)

                      New Jersey only game so far against elite team:

                      10/31/10 MIA 78-101...... 23 point loss ( -24 after 3 quarters)

                      I cant see how could orlando score under 110-115 points here.... New Jersey has scored 83 and 78 points in their last 2 games and these were home games..... who is going to score for them tomorrow? Their leading scorer is Brook Lopez and his numbers from last season against Dwight were like this:

                      3 games
                      32 minutes per game
                      31,4 FG %
                      6 rebounds per game
                      11 points per game

                      Unless Devin Harris goes for 50, Nets have no chance keeping this under 25 point loss...

                        should change the thread name to orlando/Miami blowout thread, seems like a good strategy

                            LAKERS -7,5


                            Lakers have won their last 5 games pretty comfortably..... 4 of those have been at least 8 point wins and last game against Toronto was 5 point win only thanks to last second meaningless 3 pointer from Tor player.

                            This is back to back away game for Portland and also 5-th game in 7 days...

                            Last 5 games in LA against Portland:

                            04/11/10 88-91.... 3 point loss (and before that game LA was 2-4 in their last 6 games so clearly they were not rolling like they are now)
                            01/04/09 100-86... 14 point win
                            10/28/08 96-76..... 20 point win
                            04/02/08 104-91... 13 point win
                            02/26/08 96-83..... 13 point win

                                MIAMI -10


                                Miami last 3 home games:
                                11/06/10 NJ 101-89...... 12 point win ( +19 after 3Q)
                                11/02/10 MIN 129-97...... 32 point win ( +28 after 3Q)
                                10/29/10 ORL 96-70....... 26 point win ( +24 after 3Q)

                                Utah last 2 games:
                                11/06/10 LAC 109-107.... 2 point win ( -3 after 3Q)
                                11/05/10 @GS 78-85....... 7 point loss (-4 after 3Q)

                                Utah will play 4 games in next 5 days.... all away games against Miami, Orlando, Atlanta and Charlotte. If Miami gets 10-15 point lead (and most likely they will), I dont think Utah puts up much of a fight and probably rests starters.... and Jazz bench has scored 9 and 16 points in last 2 games so no big threat from there either. Again, maybe back door cover but more likely Miami 15+ point win.

                                  I have to admit it I didnt see this coming..... Miami gives back 22 point lead and Paul Millsap scores career best 46 points. Very unlucky here...

                                  YTD: 4 - 2

                                        MIAMI -6,5


                                        Miami last 3 home games:

                                        11/09/10 UTA 114-116.... 2 point loss (+22 was Miami biggest lead)
                                        11/06/10 NJ 101-89...... 12 point win (+21 was Miami biggest lead)
                                        11/02/10 MIN 129-97...... 32 point win (+34 was Miami biggest lead)

                                        Its not like Miami cant win their home games by 15-20 points against most teams..... question is are they ready to give 100% from start to finish..... and after loss in Boston and epic choke against Utah, motivation should not be any problem at all tonight...

                                          Another loss..... and betting favorites strategy cant be very succesful lately considering the fact that underdogs are 42-11 ATS since november 4-th...
