Diogee NBA hoops

[diogee]

Yeah it was much worse than I could ever imagine between Detroit not putting up points while turning the ball over and the Hornets fizzing out. Really wanted to take the Magic and over but decided to sit out.
Good luck on the Celts...staying away from that one. Hawks are against a wall and everyone is on the Celts.

[BrUno0]

heh yeah, i can sleep at night if i lose, but if i sit out and see a celts cover i wont be able to live with myself

[diogee]

I hear ya on that one Bruno...I have already listed at least 6 winners in the playoffs that I did not pull the trigger on.

Added both 1.1 to win 1:
703 Los Angeles Lakers/Denver Nuggets under 230½ -110 Denver plans on keeping bodies between the ball and the basket to limit easy hoops and assists. If they play decent defense for half the game then this one goes under. Also only 1 of the meetings this year has went over this total and I don't see the Lakers shooting 50% as they did in games 1 & 2.

707 Houston Rockets +8½ -110 Different team with Alston...Jazz beat them by 9 at the end of the season but shot much better. Houston has confidence and momentum on their side as well as already winning twice in Utah.

hey dio
i really like lakers tonite
they are better, by a lot, than denver

[diogee]

I do agree with you Ryan but I just feel they get it done at home with their backs against the wall. They can stick with the Lakers if they can limit their assists (33 in each of the first 2 games) which lead to easy baskets. Nuggets play a lot better at home and they have been ripped on hard by Karl about staying between the player and the hoop. The Nuggets have melted down in both games and blown up but that won't happen at home and I am sure they get a little help from the refs. I like them in this one but think they lose the next 2.

[ryanXL977]

i almost did them at pick the other day, they are at home (of course so was utah and so was phoenix). i see denvers situation as similar to the suns, they have led both games, they can hang, but they dont have the bench or the closers or the chemistry, especially, that the lakers have
the nuggs have ZERO chemistry
melo is a huge ball hog. its a shame, maybe a new coach, i dunno.

but i feel lakers win tonite
we shall see

[diogee]

Should be one hell of a game for sure...67% of the 26000 bets were on the Lakers and yet the line moved from -1 to -1.5 so there must be some big money on Denver.

[ryanXL977]

i can see denver winning this game, without a doubt
im just taking the betetr team at plus money

who knows
gl

[ryanXL977]

nugs suck ass

[diogee]

Looks that way so far...still 20 minutes to turn it around.

[ryanXL977]

we have seen this all year long vs la though

they wont win with this team

[diogee]

They are toast now...Lakers heating up from 3 land and crowd is not a factor....I'll take the loss and move on to the late game. Congrats ryan...I should have known not to trust these guys. They just don't play with the heart needed in the playoffs.

[ryanXL977]

they did this to me all year
this is about the first time i have gone against them at home though

they have lost it
i found it hilarious that people gave them a shot to win this series.
some dude posted theyd win in 6.

you got the under right? so you areo k

[diogee]

Yeah I got the under so going to lose a little juice but that is it...wasn't confident in Denver doing anything in the 2nd half either and almost took LAL +3 at the half.

[ryanXL977]

well denver is showing life
so help me god if they win this

[diogee]

707 Houston Rockets +3 -105 for 2nd Half .52 to win .5

Bad stretch at the end of the 2nd put them down...I don't think they lose by DD.

[diogee]

704 Denver Nuggets -1½ -110 1.1 to win 1
705 Boston Celtics/Atlanta Hawks over 188 -110 1.37 to win 1.25

[BuddyBear]

Nice job Diogee. Was with you on Denver today. Looks like they are done.

[sissa223]

Dio, nice bro... redemption after bad day. i lost a chunk on boston tonite... then made a very impulsive bet on the rockets... parlaying their spread and under... got realllly lucky... still cant believe they hit those two threes at the end. now i just need to really stick to solid money management and no more blindly following any poster, no matter how good they are. discipline is the key like u said. gl with the rest of the playoffs.

[diogee]

Yes indeed...discipline is #1...I never follow anyone and I try to cap my games before even logging in so I don't get swayed. Sorry to hear about Boston...seemed like nearly everyone was on them. Glad you got it back and nice job on the late game. Best of luck to you the rest of the playoffs and stay smart.

[diogee]

Nice job Diogee. Was with you on Denver today. Looks like they are done.

Thanks BB...yeah I would say they are done. Just saw the post game interview and Melo admitted to the team giving up in the 3rd.

[sissa223]

yeah Melo was actually phucking funny... kept saying they didn't quit but they gave up... makes absolutely no sense.

[mundane]

nice come back day diogee! keep it going! bol bud!

btw, wucha think about the Spurs/Suns & Pistons/76ers totals? im thinking under for both games.

[diogee]

Leaning over in both of them but likely staying away from everything today. Might sit out until the 2nd round because these teams are phucking unpredictable right now. Good luck today.

[diogee]

713 Detroit Pistons/Philadelphia 76ers over 180 -110 1.1 to win 1
I feel Detroit pushes the pace as they did in game 2 to try exploiting the Sixers weakness. Sloppy play and constant turnovers kept the last game under.

1.1 to win 1

[diogee]

715 New Orleans Hornets/Dallas Mavericks Over 195 Hornets come out gunning after a 38% shooting performance. I expect both teams to push the the pace as they did in game 1 and 2...if both teams shoot at least 42% this game will go over. Game 1 and game 3 both featured one team shooting sub-par.

1.1 to win 1

[diogee]

715 New Orleans Hornets +4½ -110 Hornets bounce back and keep it close after an off shooting day in game 3. CP3 and West should both come to life with Peja knocking them down the longball.
1.1 to win 1

Ugh. I'm on this too. 1 point in the last 3:30 of the first half!?

[diogee]

Yeah tell me about it...absolutely ridiculous. Neither team could make a shot or FT's.
Seems to be the trend when I wager on an over these days.

[diogee]

713 Detroit Pistons/Philadelphia 76ers over 89½ -110 for 2nd Half 1.1 to win 1

[SexyMit]

We might get lucky on the over...

[diogee]

If only they would have kept fouling to extend the game...the end of the 1st half killed it.

[billmunny]

If only they would have kept fouling to extend the game...the end of the 1st half killed it.

Yeah. Two baskets in the last 3 minutes of that first half and we were golden...

But I hedged with the over in the 2nd half, too, so it could have been worse.

[diogee]

I agree...glad to get out of it with only juice lost but also killed me in the parlay contest.

[diogee]

715 New Orleans Hornets/Dallas Mavericks over 97½ -110 for 2nd Half 1.1 to win 1

Only 11 foul shots so far...Dallas shot poorly. I expect this game to come down to the end and late FT's should push this over.
