**donutsinthesky** · 11-04-10, 03:35 AM

i don't like either two of the games, but i'd play the over on the thunder/blazer. o192. Blazer has good D, but I just feel that after durant's horrible game last night, he'll want to step it up. 2 units on this.

**donutsinthesky** · 11-04-10, 11:11 PM

3rd quarter starting... lookin good so far! 51-58 at the half. we just need to avg 21 a quarter each team to hit!

edit: OKC: 107, POR: 106. = 213 (i know this was ot, but they hit the w before that

)
WIN.

**donutsinthesky** · 11-05-10, 06:08 AM

picks for tomorrow:

Nets/Magic over 194.5 1 unit
Bucs +2 over Pacers 1 unit
Heat/Hornets over 188 1 unit

**maximum** · 11-05-10, 11:22 PM

donuts what are your bets for tomorrow???

**donutsinthesky** · 11-05-10, 11:33 PM

maximum i haven't gotten that far yet. im lookin at the games now and will figure it out... i'll try 2 post up my picks either later tonight or before i go to work tomorrow. but thanks for wondering... i figured i'd pick up a couple fans along the way, but i dont think people care about my picks. that;s okay though since i'm new i didn't expect anyone to care. this thread is for me to update myself anyways.

for the record, i'm 9-2. i don't know why i added a loss.. i don't want to edit my post in case someone thinks i changed my picks...

**ndntarget** · 11-05-10, 11:41 PM

nice job so far.

**maximum** · 11-05-10, 11:46 PM

BOL donuts

**donutsinthesky** · 11-06-10, 01:43 AM

i should've went bigger today, but i had alot of $$ on college ball today. and i usually like to go small on weekends cuz of football. here are my picks

Magic vs Bobcats OVER 187 2 units
Clippers +12 over jazz 1 unit (WHEN THE FIRST HALF LINES ARE UP, I'M CHOOSE THAT IF IT'S CLIPPERS +6)
Hornets +3.5 over bucs 1 unit

Even though the bobcats are trash (can't even beat detroit?!), i feel like the magics will kill. they'll get over 100 pts, its just will charlotte hit 90? I think they can at a home game...crash will be able to do it
I know many people dislike the clippers, but i love them! and utah's a good passing/scoring team with terrible defense... so i say clippers can stay in the game. i posted this above, but when the first half lines come out, i'll be choosing that IF and only IF clippers are +5.5 (or better) 1 unit.
i'm a little iffy on this one. i believe hornets are the better team here. they looked great the 3 full games i've seen them play. undefeated, just got off a great win against miami tonight, but that's the exact reason why i'm iffy on this one... they'll be goin back to back games esp after playing miami, they'll for sure be exhausted. however, gut instincts tell me to choose the hornets. so only 1 unit.

**donutsinthesky** · 11-06-10, 09:24 PM

ughhh i lost the magic/bobcats over. clippers hit and hornets look like they're on track to hit(they're up ten with 4th quarter remaining)

not too bad, but i expect better of myself. we can't always win all of them...

i'll be taking a closer look at sunday's games to try to get the best picks

**donutsinthesky** · 11-07-10, 09:41 PM

Magic/Bobcats LOSS
Clippers WIN
Hornets WIN

11-3
up 7.7 units

**donutsinthesky** · 11-07-10, 09:50 PM

tomorrow i like spurs-3 against bobcats 2 units
(just me or fading the bobcats is a great idea?)
other lines aren't out, so i'll add more tom..

**donutsinthesky** · 11-08-10, 01:42 PM

i like hawks +5 at the half over magic. too nervous about going full game, and magic are without jameer, and vince is "hopeful" (which means he will more than likely play) 2 units
denver vs bulls over 206.5 I like this play because both teams are great at scoring. Denver is lookin' pretty good and can easily score over 100 on chicago's D, but even though i'm not positive chicago can do the same to denver, they're at home and will be lookin' for vengeance after that boston game 2 units
warriors vs raptors under 217.5 I just dont see both teams scoring this much. Warriors could do it, but i see a 110 to 100 type game. raptors will barely hit the hundo i feel. 2 units

8 units total including the spurs game. for the record, i saw that the spurs game jumped up to -4, i'd still take that, but anything higher i'd probably stay away....

**donutsinthesky** · 11-09-10, 12:02 AM

spurs-3 against bobcats WIN
hawks +5 at the half WIN
nuggets bulls over 206.5 LOSS
warriors vs rapters under 217.5 WIN

14-4
up 11.2 units

tomorrow's picks will be posted later tonight

**donutsinthesky** · 11-09-10, 02:33 AM

Cavs +2.5 against nets - Really? Cavs are underdogs against nets? Seems like an easy bet to place... despite a lebronless cavs. 2 units
Pistons/Blazers under 217.5 - Blazers look pretty good defensively... after their latest horrible loss against the lakers, they'll want to put up a great defensive front and to top it off, I don't see the pistons reaching 100 that night (let alone blazers hitting 120).. 2 units
Knicks +4.5 against bucks - I know the knicks blow, but i feel they are actually pretty underrated after getting amare. amare gives them more depth and i like the matchup on the knicks better. 1 unit
Twolves +17.5 against Lakers - It's pretty typical for the lakers to be up 20+ and then by the 4th quarter, have the lead drop to 12... I see that happening in this game. Why didn't it happen against the blazers? I feel lakes try harder against harder teams. (ie raptors) 1 unit

6 units for tom.. GL all!

I'll probably add more when i see more lines. (i wanna see the clippers dammit!)

**lakermania82** · 11-09-10, 08:39 AM

donut man youre doing well. Ive made about 18k already on nba but i bet big and bet live in play and on favourites. I bet in australia where I live which is pretty good. Last season I made about 100k and thats no lie but again punting massive on favourites.

**donutsinthesky** · 11-13-10, 12:30 AM

Cavs +2.5 against nets WIN
pistons/blazers total 178 WIN
Knicks +4.5 LOSS
TWolves WIN

17-5
up 14.7 units

i've been a bit busy so i haven't posted plays, but i'll do my best to post up tom's plays..
best of luck

**beerman2619** · 11-13-10, 04:20 AM

good luck

**beerman2619** · 11-13-10, 04:26 AM

**Vortexx00** · 11-13-10, 04:31 AM

Nice job so far!

Good luck today..

**donutsinthesky** · 11-13-10, 09:27 PM

Thanks for the kind words. And always BOL to us all...

Im a bit late on today so here are tom's games I like

Timberwolves +12.5 over hawks. The hawks are beast, but Im loving the t wolves. I feel that amoung the weaker tier teams (along with the grizzlies, knicks, and couple other teams,) these guys are underrated. Hawks will end up winning, but by 13??? I dont think so.Let's just say im glad to have kevin love on my Fantasy..
timberwolves/hawks over 206
Kings -5 over Pistons. After the pistons horrible win over the clippers (grrrr...) in OT, they'll be exhausted. the kings are a young young team and I believe they will outrun the pistons all night.

2 units each on the games. 6 units total
Best of luck

**donutsinthesky** · 11-14-10, 10:23 PM

Twolves: 105 Hawks: 111 WIN
Twolves/Hawks over 206 WIN
Kings: 94 Pistons: 100 LOSS
19-6
up 16.4 units

i'll try to get tom's picks up early tom. but other than that, best of luck all!

**donutsinthesky** · 11-15-10, 02:29 PM

Here are today's picks!

Twolves +9 over Bobcats
Clippers -1.5 over Nets
Magic/Grizzlies over 200.5
Suns/Nuggets under 219

2 units each; 8 units total. GL all

**donutsinthesky** · 11-15-10, 11:39 PM

Twolves +9 over Bobcats WIN
clippers will look like they will lose.... sigh
Magic/Grizzlies total: 161 LOSS
Suns/Nuggets total: 194 WIN

FIRST time this year i had overall losing picks (if your picks are tied, you're losing money so it's a loss...)
21-8
up 16 units

for the record, i'm putting in the clipper game as a loss. they are down 10 with 3something left in the half. I know clippers can come out on top 2nd half, but i'd rather not put my hopes up on a clipper game... will do my best to pick better games...

**donutsinthesky** · 11-18-10, 03:28 PM

today i like

magic/suns over 205 - 3 units
nuggets +2.5 over trailblazers. - 2 units
clippers/pacers over 202.5 - 2 units

blazers are without broy. they will exploit that. magic/suns is a pretty low over for 2 good scoring teams.... i just hope magic's D won't get in the way of suns dropping points. and clippers/pacers are a good over considering both teams have some horrible D..
