Detroit/Miami

mundane · 03-27-08, 03:04 PM

i think the question we need to ask is, how often do we see pistons beating the crap out of shitty teams? esp at this stage of the regular season. they need to rest their starters; almost everyone on pistons team are veterans - im sure they think a win is a win then move on (no matter what the score is); if this game is being played the first half of the season, i see it more feasible that pistons would schalak this heat squad but 11 more games left? do u think they'll put dat much effort? but if u come to think of it, itz only 12 more buckets for them to cover (3 buckets every quarter) looks real easy against this d-league heat, right? arrghhhh! im confused myself.

That is true mundane. At this point in the season, a win is a win for the Pistons. I also found out that Hamilton is doubtful for the game, but even without him, I still think we should expect a thorough whipping from the Pistons.

If Miami shoots again 30% from the field, then Detroit has a fair enough chance.

im actually leaning towards pistons covering this spread. like u sed, pistons just lost so they shld be motivated to schalak whoever they play next! in this case, the d-league heat. also, their reserves need to prove themselves to be on the playoff roster. i expect them to play hard and look to score a lot of pts. ratliff and/or mcdyess shld have a field day on this one. dat chuck hayes (3 pt shooter) guy also! only players im worried abt of slowing down the scoring are wallace and prince. somehow i think these 2 would take it easy on this game and cruise with a 12-15 pt lead.

i hope im wrong tho. gl!

LOL! Jarvis Hayes mundane. Chuck Hayes is on Houston. But yeah, I agree that the Pistons bench does need to prove themselves worthy of being on the playoff roster, so in a blowout they should play hard no matter what the score. Well, I've decided to go with the Pistons, though I'll only bet my normal amount. Thanks for the insight mundane and good luck.

hahaha. wer did dat chuck hayes came from? mah badd! LMAO! im ashamed of myself!

yeah goodluck bud!

I'm hoping they don't show up for this game Wrigley.

I hope they left all their energy on the court against NY last night.

Miami is playing out of their minds right now!!

diogee · 03-27-08, 07:43 PM

No kidding...same with the Mavs. Dogs are barking early.

The_Kid · 03-27-08, 07:46 PM

Jason Kidd is 3-3 from the field? That's a bunch of BS!!! The guy can't shoot. Period.

diogee · 03-27-08, 07:48 PM

Yeah no crap...unreal. Mavs shooting 68%

Is there any chance that Miami will cover? Both teams are playing back to back, but Miami took NY into overtime, and so I'm thinking they'll be more tired than usual. Detroit coming off a loss is golden, so I'm thinking of increasing my bet for this game to 5x the amount. Miami is horrible and fielding a squad of D-League talent. Heck, Detroit's bench could probably beat Miami's team...

Is this smart on my part? I know I'm laying a lot down on such a high spread...

I would look for the pistons to maybe start their starters but rest them 2nd half... scoring should be pretty small in this matchup, dont be afraid of the number given on the total....

I would throw the UNDER in this situation bud BUST OF LUCK!

diogee · 03-27-08, 07:57 PM

Phuck...I played under the day that Miami decides to show up.

The_Kid · 03-27-08, 07:58 PM

Too late. Detroit needs to win by 22, but it's not looking so good.

They shouldn't even be close to 40 points in the 2nd quarter...

diogee · 03-27-08, 08:01 PM

That is the reason why I played the under...

Balla11 · 03-27-08, 08:02 PM
