No +5.5?

Any other day I would jump all over that in a heartbeat but West is doubtful for the game and CP3 is probable. Both tweaked their ankles late in Friday's game against the Lakers. My play is going to be the under for a unit. Best of luck

Stay away from Detroit at home. Some days they beat good teams by 25, others they either lose or barely beat scrub teams that they were double-digit favorites against.

I could see a loss or another tight win like against the Spurs, but I could also see a 20-point win.

Yeah I backed off this already

forex · 03-16-08, 11:55 AM

cp3 and the hornets will choke on natl tv. lol. ...or even if they dont choke, they will get mangled up by the 2nd generation of the bad boys! go pistons!

onto abc tv. tip off abt to start! gl all and let's enjoy the game! pz!

I wouldn't constitute it as a choke...they are without West and CP3 is banged up...that being said I could see the Pistons winning this one by DD.

sportsguy4 · 03-16-08, 12:08 PM

11 pt run for No to start

mundane · 03-16-08, 12:09 PM

hahaha fuxorz pistons. they cant even make a bucket! 11-0 hornets up.

Arnold · 03-16-08, 12:10 PM

Looking good so far. 11-0 NO in the 1st. I took NO. Detroit sucks.

sportsguy4 · 03-16-08, 12:11 PM

I backed off the entire game, but let's see how the first plays out and I might make a bet on the 2nd half

mundane · 03-16-08, 12:21 PM

Looks like Pistons showed up and are going to make this a laugher. They're up 50-36 with about 2 min before the half.

I took the Hornets pick for the 2nd half.

Also have UNC -3.5 2nd half and Texas Arlington -1 2nd half - both look good.

mundane · 03-16-08, 02:22 PM

congratz to the winners on this game.

pistons -pts over

onto lakers/rockets game. bummer for me tho.. i gtg 2 wrk.

diogee · 03-16-08, 02:26 PM

My under got destroyed by 3.5 points but made up with some of it with U94 2nd H so not so bad...broke my 5 game streak in the Best Bet thread

mundane · 03-16-08, 02:30 PM

datz the beauty of being able to watch the game then betting on the 2nd halves of the games i guess. gj!

diogee · 03-16-08, 02:35 PM

Yeah it helps dampen the blow...GL with your plays.

dannyt76 · 03-16-08, 04:18 PM

Yikes I was wayyyy off on this play. I took NO +6 thinking it would be a close game.

Wyndham · 03-16-08, 05:16 PM

Doesn't surprise me. Not saying I predicted it at all -- I didn't -- but nothing Detroit does surprises me (outside of getting smoked by a bad team, which seldom happens). Huge wins over good and bad teams, big losses to good teams and close losses to every team happen with this team. They just don't play with the same type of intensity every night; some nights it's 110%, others it's 30%.

I've gotten them totally wrong twice (thinking Phoenix would eek out a close win when they got smoked, and thinking Detroit would destroy Miami when they only won by five) and since haven't put a penny on them.
