Hawks +whatever Tuesday vs. LA

New York +3.5 was the play of the day, people overrate Hawks way too much, I don't put money on choke artists neither should anyone else.

I hear ya. I hate betting on Atlanta, they definitely are frauds. But this is a great spot for them and i can't pass it up.

Line is LA -4.5. Basically what i expected. I'll wait and see if i can get the 5 but i doubt i will be able to.

Haws are very underrated imo. Everybody hates them cause they are inconsistent but they are no worse then most teams with a similar record.

Kind of think they can bounce back vs LA. Lakers have lost there what 2, 3 straight (in atl?) Favored by 3.5 in the past as well. LA has huge games coming after this, might be one of those typical LA not caring games. They are playing very good basketball since the break though, so i think its hard to bet against them but it is a good spot.

The Hawks have had some really ugly losses and performances this year. Seems like they tend to play to their competition level, which would bode well for them vs. Lakers.

Hawks will get up for the lakers like the play

pacocn · 03-07-11, 11:02 PM

pacocn · 03-07-11, 11:05 PM

don't forget to take the 6 and sprinkle on the ml as well.

pacocn · 03-07-11, 11:06 PM

Demens "They are no worse than a team with a similar record"
what a brilliant statement.

Do you need an example? Because it sounds like it went over your head.

If you look at the records you'll see that teams like the Knicks, Magic, OKC, Nuggets are all pretty close to Atlanta record wise yet if you took a poll on the forum the majority of the clueless sheep around here would tell you that Atlanta is nowhere near as good as those teams.

Seems like we will get a favorable Hawks line if we wait a little longer. Late morning tomorrow though i expect some money to come in on the hawks.

demens · 03-07-11, 11:53 PM

I dont know if i can pull the trigger on Atl. This game is too risky imo, they have a tendency not to show up sometimes much like the Lakers. Dont see it happening in this game but probably not worth taking the chance.

face · 03-08-11, 12:05 AM

wow, i dont know. kinda like the lakers, haveyou seen hawks lately?

t-wizzle · 03-08-11, 01:27 PM

Just as I suspected, the line dropped back down to 4.5 this morning.

Sunde91 · 03-08-11, 01:32 PM

Please explain what fuking difference it makes what side the public is on.

"Da sharps be on da Hawks and der be RLM so boom magic!!!"

In all reality it dosnt. In all actuality it would have benefited you to be on the side of all of the public plays since the all star break im sure. Hawks may have a similar record as those teams Demens but after the all star break all of the teams "true colors" come out. I dont think the Hawks can hang, especially not with the lakers.

kaijunn · 03-08-11, 01:47 PM

Lakers gonna blow them out again..

Z-Aces · 03-08-11, 03:20 PM

I like LA. There size alone is going to dominate ATL. There in playoff mode right now. Ill take LA - the 3 baskets. I see Bynum having another 17+ rebound game. Along with Lobe Gasol and Fisher dominating. Take LA - 3 baskets.

CubanoSteve · 03-08-11, 04:10 PM

I think everyone expects another L.A. blowout, but the Hawks need a statement win and are at home. The Lakers are coming off a whopping against San Antonio that they can only go down from there.

STAY STRONG · 03-08-11, 04:13 PM

lakers win this game today

nbarlotta3 · 03-08-11, 04:35 PM

I wouldn't bet against the Lakers today.

nulldah · 03-08-11, 04:49 PM

hard to bet against lakers now. they are hot, ats wise, not just SU

MysteryMung · 03-08-11, 04:53 PM

exactly, hot ATS, hot SU - if i lose the bet, so be it but I feel more comfortable with my money on LA. GL to all
