LTA's NBA Plays

Sorry LT. When Lowry hit the three with 1:07 to go we only needed 4pts. That shouldve been the cashing bucket there. Horrendous beat.

Down 9 on the road, I knew he wasnt fouling. I fckin knew it was all on Ellis with 30s left. Fck him. This is a category one cooler.

Ellis makes free throws in his sleep...with his eyes closed.

But Kevin McCale absolutely sucked as a coach. 34 seconds left and nobody fouls Ellis....eventually, they change their minds and fouls with only 10 seconds on the clock. Then after Ellis makes one free throw he takes one Houston shot and bales on the game. He had to try one more foul. That sucked.

Come on Overtime!!

I agree Hou shouldve fouled immediately with 40s left when down 8. Instead they let 10critical secs peel away. Im pretty sure they just wanted to get out of there. All that aside. No excuse for Monte. Spotty little cun.t

alamo · 02-12-12, 11:41 PM

Now Tony Allen misses 2 huge FTs. This is really sick.

alamo · 02-12-12, 11:48 PM

Hayward with a big three with 4min left to give us a good crack at this. This one would be against the head if we can cash it and make up for that fiasco in Golden state. come on ONE TIME

apurvaas · 02-12-12, 11:50 PM

alamo · 02-12-12, 11:51 PM

Exactly Alamo...that mistake by the coach changed the whole game. 10 seconds of not knowing what is the right move to make cost them a valuable shot at the game.

I don't know what he was thinking. Even the idiot announcers where wondering what was going on.

MCCale makes millions per year to get that call right.

absolutkaos · 02-12-12, 11:56 PM

OMG....again...

Catchn_Picks · 02-12-12, 11:56 PM

scram, this thread is not about your picks

JM92 · 02-13-12, 07:07 AM

Im going with Philly first half and full game spread. No scar of a backdoor here. Even if those Sixers do slow it down a bit, they are better than the Bobcats with hyper motivation. Plus, they play really good defense. I easily see a 30 point game here in favor of the Sixers.

Also loving the Over @ Orlando. So far this season 5-0 in the overs @ magic games. No doubt the team that has given me more money, even more than the Sixers. Which is quite funny having in mind I hate them

In case you never noticed, LTA always asks for every1 else's thoughts about the card. And the Sixers game was already being discussed a few posts before. Just giving my opinion.

Btw, after taking further look, I think im really rolling with that over in Orlando. As I thought, the Magic are almost last @ forcing turnovers in the league, 28 in TOV% (opp), while the T-wolves are second in Pace and will likely take full advantage of Magics poor transition defense and inability to force turnovers. On the other end, Magic don't force that many turnovers. They do, instead, shoot those long balls that guys like Rubio love to rebound and run right off because they're usually resulting in long rebounds. This is what made me go with over in the Wizards/Magic game and the Kings/Magic game, both relatively easy cashes. Pekovic is been a big help for the Wolves inside, but I still expect Dwight to get lots of easy baskets and double teams, there for, the Wolves who don't D-up the 3 point line that well already, should get even more burned there tonight. And as bonus, the Magic usually run back at the teams that run against them.

Buying the hook implies it was at 203.5 and you bought it down to 203 ...

What you did isn't buying the hook. It's actually rather dumb to buy a half point in a total. Even worse when you consider you bought it down from a number that would of only made you push without the half point...

Not trying to be rude but that's just not smart gambling right there ...

got the point thanks for advice... I was burned so many times by half point so I decided to buy half point for every line which is moving in opposite direction.. This saved my ass a few times

Utah vs Hornets

For anyone looking at this game.

Emeka Okafor (knee) and Chris Kaman (ankle) are both questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

So for anyone keeping track, that would potentially be both their centers. And Jason Smith (concussion) and Carl Landry (knee) are both out. Jarrett Jack and Eric Gordon are still out for another week.

So assuming Okafor and Kaman are not playing, that is only 8 healthy players for Nola. Even with Utah coming off a b2b game, I don't see how the Jazz don't cover the -4.

Some good stuff here to mull over...That Orlando over does look appetizing.

edmskid · 02-13-12, 02:20 PM

My book's got the Jazz up to -4.5. I'm thinking it looks good at that before it goes to 5. Although, I am a little gunshy of anything .5 after the Houston "Hookgate"from (O203.5...ugh) last night lol...any thoughts on the Jazz LTA? Seems like maybe another good night to beat up on the Boobcats too ;-)

JM92 · 02-13-12, 02:38 PM

Great play on the over for everyone who did follow my advice on the Orlando game. Up to 190.5 from 189 at the moment I posted. Now waitin' for your calls LTA.

naslax13 · 02-13-12, 03:00 PM

sup LTA, i know your a totals guy.. you on miami over 201 tonight? looks like a play to me.
