    Hitting the Grizz hard at -6.5 (25units) using multiple books.

    Note game was circled.

    Grizz need the win as the next two games are tough.
    The Grizz will bring it.

    Also, I had enough with chiken cklit college ball. Enough trying to catch flies with chopsticks and a blindfold. Put away the chopsticks, remove the blindfold. Swat the fly and it's dead.....

    I think this is a dangerous night in the NBA.

    Seems to me that in MLB and NBA, the ASB is the great momentum changer. Teams go through it and emerge headed in the opposite direction. Completely.

    That said, I think the Lakers and Wizards are hosting the two worst teams in the L over the last month. And the Wiz have a manageable number to work with.

    Otherwise, I think I am going to be stepping lightly, and taking points.

    Pags 3-0, ILL 3-0, Razz 3-2-1, imgv up big units, and a Mr. Slacker appearing with great fanfare to make very solid selections . . . . How in the name of G*d did I lose a couple of units last night? Too stubborn and out of my element -- a deadly combination.

    The above-listed studs, and others, have a bead on NCAAB.

    In the NBA, I think, you have to be pretty stubborn NOT to see that the man with a very good bead on things right now is -- wait for it -- the BM. Happens every year.

    I'm going to be making modest-unit selections in both worlds with those facts in mind. Which means NBA picks for value, and just before post time.

    Also, for tonight at least, I am firmly believing that every game is a wild card because of the ASB, and nobody knows 'nothin' about the mindset of any team and their ability to get into sync.

    I see a couple of you like Michigan tonight and had to throw in my .02 cents. Chris Hunter and Lester Abram are both out for Michigan and I would be very surprised to see them win this game. I am a die-hard Maize and Blue fan and live just north of Ann Arobr and would love to see them beat Illinois but I think its highly unlikely. take it for what its worth. good luck

    I have the same hesitation, so building in some insurance. Two for the price of one.

    DAL 1H -4.5
    In last two months DAL is 9-2 ATS in 1H, at home with rest. (11-0 SU). The two ATS losses were followed by 2H blowout wins by DAL.

    If this 1H wager doesn't win:
    DAL 2H (any spread).
    Since January DAL is 10-0 ATS in 2H, as a favorite with rest, when leading by 5 or less at the half.

    The 2H play is somewhat stronger, I think, so if the All Star break is a concern, maybe skip the 1H wager.

    Jomar there is no need to apoligize for being a Michigan fan...stuff happens. Everyone understands and appreciates the advice you gave.

    But i like Mich in this spot to be honest with you...Big 10 teams have been dominant at home this year...and the linesmaker knew about all the injuries how could they make Ill only a -1 favorite...doesn't make any sense. I saw on a couple of other forums people wetting their pants over this line....

    This is pretty much it for Mich...win this game and they can secure a spot (a low one) in the NCAAB tournament. Lose this, it's going to be an uphill battle. I like Mich to be aggressive, physical, and I think they win outright tonight. I think Daniel Horton who is a pretty good player could take this game over....Mich played them well the first time around and it's going to be a rare sellout in Crysler tonight. Illinois has looked very average on the road this year.

    I would take Mich or pass fellows...Illinois has trap written all over it.
