Check out Clippers avg losing margin when on the road.

Besides Charlotte's losing deficit, in their last 4 games irrelevant. As it is too small a sample size to be considered the mean of their entire season on the road.

Is Gordon out today?

He is done for the season.

vyomguy · 03-07-11, 12:59 PM

bobcats are done for the season...they are packing the bags....they cant rebound or shoot the ball. I know clippers are bad on the road...but the current bobcats team is a bunch of D-leaguers...and they are worse than kings and cavaliers right now. Clippers wont miss gordon becuase foye has been playing great as a replacement. Besides kaman is healthy now. Clippers or no play for me. Line already moved clippers -1 btw. Clippers wont keep loosing each and every road game.

If you bet them today, you should just count it as a loss. Clippjoint is 5-25 SU on the Road, and 11-18-1 ATS in the same situation. The last two times that Clippers were favs on the road, they helped break the epic losing streak of the Cavs. Then lost to the Kings, while entering the 4thqtr with an 8 point lead.

Why do you think the line moved from +2.5 to -1 in spite of all these stats?

The only thing that's relevant is the past 4 games, they lost their 2 best players.

What they did with Gerald Wallace and SJax earlier in the season means nothing anymore.

They have been road favs only three times in the the last 2 seasons. They have lost all 3 games. last year they were favored against the nets @-6.5, and lost.

Im just going on empirical data.

Besides, Heat(-3) were favored over the Celtics, in their last matchup. Even though Heat has lost twice to them. On the road, i have to add.

This shit doesnt make sense. logic doesnt work in gambling. If it did betting the better team would work, and we would all be rich.

Oddsmakers know this also, you are not alone in knowing this info.

HoulihansTX · 03-07-11, 01:45 PM

I could careless what you guys take.

I have learned, one time the hard way, not to bet on Clippjoint as road favs.

Stallion · 03-07-11, 01:47 PM

Charlotte just had a 4 game road trip, and the 1st game home, teams usually lose.

Vulcan300 · 03-07-11, 01:49 PM

past data also showed heat winning against bulls, there goes that logic. in that game the better team won, it's going be the same case here.

The line opened with bobcats being favs.

willij97 · 03-07-11, 01:53 PM

blake is a mismatch for the whole team.

Bulls are 3-0 against Heat this season.

Heat are not the same team, as last year. And neither is the Bulls.

I gave you two instances this year of them being road favs. Come on dont grab for straws.

Kings opened as -1 favs also, then line moved to Clipps -1.

Gl tonight. I dont advise people on their bets, as I am no tout.

Just giving out info.

bulls were 2-0 prior, winning both at home as they should. bulls road record vs heats home record, alone backed heat + rebound effect. though the fail bus hit. i was just using that game as better team vs stats.

I dont even understand this.

What about Boston being Home dogs, vs the Heat???? This shit dont make sense.

I'm not smart enough to go through data, or math models. I'm just going by what I've seen.

Clipps = Fail on the road.

The Clippers and Bobcats are not the same teams they were earlier in the year. How are you not seeing this?

Vulcan300 · 03-07-11, 02:03 PM

my point was stats and trends don't mean shit sometimes, when it's clear one team can ball better than the other.

I know, but this situation has happened everytime. I know 3 games maybe a short sample size, but I cant bet Clipps on the road as favs

i learned not to trust clippers too but this game has a catch to it, bobcats have no 'go to' player to generate pts tonight. also if you've seen a few recent games, you know kaman is gonna generate solid pts.

when boom dizzle was on the team, you def couldn't count on him thats whys everyones using e.gordon as a factor to tonights game when it shouldn't.

sad to say mo.williams is actually helping too..

gut tells you no bet, id stick with that but tonight i'll try my luck.

HoulihansTX · 03-07-11, 02:11 PM

I totally understand why you guys would be hesitant to back the Bobcats. There are arguments for both sides.

I just cant back the Clipps for their past failures in this situation. I bet them as road favs last year against the Nets. They subsequently lost, and I said," Never again."

So you can call me jaded.

jdhender · 03-07-11, 02:19 PM

Current Bobcats SL could be the worst in the history of the league

HOT WINGS · 03-07-11, 02:21 PM

Best play is no play IMO. Maybe a 2nd half line because Clippers will probably win the 1st half. Like the Grizzlies -3 today for me. GL I might jump on the Cats 2nd half.

Know I can dismiss this for sure.

What ever the hell lineup the Cavs had during that losing streak, has hold that crown. Just dreadful

djpremier36 · 03-07-11, 02:55 PM

3.5 point line swing? I guess people think Vegas is handing out money LOL. Bobbies are the play here!

I enjoy the argument that the Bobcats have nothing to play for and therefore will not try, as a worse record means more in terms of draft picks. How exactly does this not describe the Clippers as well? What are they playing for here?

lyon804 · 03-07-11, 03:47 PM

I looked at this game hard and long and came to the conclusion the best move was a NO PLAY here. From a roster and talent standpoint and based upon current form of both teams the Clippers would seem to be the play. However it can't be ignored how awful it is the Clippers are on the road and how they blow games against anybody. If the Clippers can blow an eight pt lead in the 4Q at Sacramento without T. Evans it is possible for them to lose to the D-league Bobcats.

Any degenerate that read this I would advise strongly to play Clippers 1H if you made your mind up you have to bet them because they seem to start ffast on the road and fade late.

Based on the Clippers road woes and the overall ability of the Bobcats I would not be surprised if this game was cancelled late in the 4Q due to neither team able to win the game.
