You do? Interested to hear your reasoning because for me its Phoenix or nothing

LTA... As we start to think towards the playoffs I was wondering should we be looking at some form of futures bet for it ?

I know you're a big Bulls fan so this may affect your reasoning but from a neutral point of view who do you think has a reasonable shot at it this year and may even be some value.

My own opinion is that I think there could be a few shocks in the West but the East will go to form. I am slow to call someone to win it though but think the Grizz could be worth a very small play for value purposes.

The Clippers are the better team. That's first and when I can get the better team as dog wherever it is I will always have to look into. Then, the Clippers are really THE BETTER TEAM.Their offense is still, even though inconsistent, one of the top 3 or 5 in the league. They now have also one of the best defenses since march. After being last in the league in DRTG in the start of the season, they are now almost over the league average and if they keep playing as of late, they will be in the top half of the league by the playoffs. They match-up fairly well against the Suns, with some lenghty guys in Butler or Young who can force some tough jumpers and they have been much better lately guarding the pick 'n roll. their only issue will be to avoid foul trouble. they set the pace last night and if they do that again today, they have every reason to show they are better then the Suns and come up with a win that would also give them the 4th place in the West.

I wanted to get Utah to make the playoffs for the past week but all I managed was to get Suns not to make it at - 105 last night (Pinny). Jazz will get there. Unbelievable.

I see your point. My angle was mainly on the line and situational factors. Phoenix have so much more to play for, coming off a loss, Clips coming off a tough win in Denver then back on the road again. The line confuses me and leads me to believe Phoenix are the play, it looks like the books are begging for clipper money, knowing they are a public fave. BOL tonight, I am not playing the game so I'll be rooting for your bet. On Hornets +6 and Miami -6

**JM92** · 04-19-12, 06:23 PM

I will likely not play it. Only over with th Bulls/Heat as a situational play, purely.

**Laissez Faire** · 04-19-12, 06:59 PM

thanks for the answers to my question earlier fellas...appreciate the input

and you're right LTA, those wagers are a little dangerous...but i have a little play money set aside after cashing a huge parlay the other day due to your mlb plays...

and actually cashed another big parlay on your dodgers & reds over picks in mlb that won today

so my bankroll and I greatly thank you, good sir

Also liking a way better Clippers team in my mind to beat up on the Suns. Specially after last night. They are sending a message and I have them as the unlikely winners of the West. Yup. You heard it here first.

Any team coached by Vinny Del Negro is unlikely to win a playoff series, much less a conference. I don't see it, but good luck.

I haven't really given it much thought. I'm not a big futures player, but I will make a futures play if I think it's +ev because of down-the-line hedge possibilities. Once my locals release those odds, then I will start thinking about it more. GL

Just wondering....what is "form" in the East?

The Bulls are limping into the playoffs without their best player healthy, Howard is out for the season, Heat are also more banged up than a lot of teams.........and they have struggled mightitly the last couple of weeks, The 76ers have fell off the map, the Pacers dont worry too many people (me atleast) Atlanta is gonna be Atlanta giving a tough series but end up doing nothing......to be honest the 2 teams I would not want to face in a 7 game series right now are surprisingly the Knicks, and the Celtics.

If "form" is right.....another HEALTHY celtics team, if they are healthy, is bound for another run..........

**unitedlad** · 04-20-12, 12:02 PM

I love Celtics + 10, even with out Rajon and Ray Ray. Avery Bradley has done fantastic this season when called upon. I feel confident that between him, Pierce and KG, the Cs can get the job done. May even put a bit on the ML.

Shit, thanks for the heads up! I just read up on the preview on NBA.com and it just said Rondo and Allen.

'The Celtics will be without Pierce, K.G., Rajon Rondo (back), Ray Allen (ankle) and Mickael Pietrus (knee) on Friday. Clearly, Doc Rivers wants to get his players right for the postseason, and it will be interesting to see what kind of lineup is on the floor for Boston on Friday night. Avery Bradley will see a ton of minutes, and the Celtics will be shorthanded in Atlanta.'

But this game could decide who gets home court advantage in the playoffs. This proved paramount in 08' when the series went to game 7 between the Cs and Atlanta. Suppose Doc wants to keep them old legs fresh.

**mikea33** · 04-20-12, 01:41 PM

Huge game for celtcs surpised doc nna do this a win
Puts em homecourt

NBA 2011-2012 Regular Season 4/20/2012

Play #1

Lakers/Spurs under (204.5) 1x (Locked)

I know a lot of people might doubt this play because of the expected fast pace, but i see things a bit differently and will try to get a writeup posted later. Good luck.

What do u think of Mavs/GSW OVER 201?????

**JM92** · 04-20-12, 05:25 PM

LTA feelings on the cavs? Irving back on the line up should make them competitive again. Knicks have nothing to play for specially on the road. Stoudemire is likely to be back also, which might turn out really bad for their offense and even their defense.

**meader99** · 04-20-12, 05:34 PM

I find it very interesting on how the Knicks struggle integrating their stars back into the lineup. When Linsanity was taking over and the Knicks got hot, Anthony came back and they struggled. Lin and Stoudemire got hurt and Woodson got creative putting Anthony at the 4 and they have gone on a run again. I'm curious to see how Stoudemire coming back affects their play.

**NEOHsports4life** · 04-20-12, 05:36 PM

They win by 15 or more, Carmello has 38 points tonite, final 108 - 90.

**meyer0416** · 04-20-12, 08:03 PM

did you mean lose by 15?

I still had confidence in our bench to keep it close throughout the whole game, so still fired away with C's +10, but maybe not as much as I would have if I hadn't know about KG and Pierce being out.

**Dmoneytx** · 04-20-12, 10:32 PM

Under on Lakers/San Ant was your only play tonight LTA??? Damn, u keep losing people a lot of money I'm guessing. LOL. How lucky can I be?? The few times I have popped back in here, I have faded u everytime. Won all but one play. U must not be doing well. Capping & with the family. Ouch......

...says the douchebag who comes in talking shit AFTER the game. Get a life dude.

**Dmoneytx** · 04-20-12, 11:17 PM

I do mostly tennis. And I think whoever took this "under", knew by HALF time it was a loser. LOL. After the game?? Only needed to see the 1st quarter to know that play was finished.

And I do have a life. I don't spend ALL my time on here, like some people do. SBR is not my life. I wager for fun. I love teaching tennis. And my family ALWAYS comes first. Always. Especially over crap like this.

BOL

**That Guy** · 04-20-12, 11:19 PM

LTA did say there would be limited action till the playoffs - seems to be focused more on MLB plays at the moment which is fair enough.. gotta go where the action is.
In saying that if you don't agree with a play DON'T PLAY IT. No one has a gun to your head.

Not to speak for lta... but I dont think its a matter that he is just focusing more on MLB.. I think he does his thorough capping on each sport daily.. My opinion is that this time of yr nba is EXTREMELY tough to cap.. teams are resting players, other teams are battling for playoffs spots, other teams have already given up... it is just really tough to know what to expect every night..

Gonna make our bookies pay come playoff time when we know we are getting 100% every night

Yep....this is accurate

**JM92** · 04-21-12, 06:18 AM

No shit sir. Im rolling with the over in Pho/Den and that should be my only play of the night. Just hope to be on the good side of one of these recent ridiculous shooting performances. It will probably be my only play. Gotta take it very calm and slow until the playoffs. Down roughly 4 units for this month basically because I made 4 unnecessary bets, to say so.

Thoughts on this denver game Lta?

**blumpkin** · 04-21-12, 06:52 AM

Damn, u keep losing people a lot of money I'm guessing. LOL.

To the douche who said this, not very accurate. If im not mistaken lta is + money for the nba season, so how exactly is he losing people money???

Dude, ive never lost money in any of my threads and i've never been in the negative this entire nba season. My record will be updated when I am done capping the mlb card, but you can see what it was as of yesterday if you go back a couple pages. Since ive started posting on sbr last april, I am up over +110x in all sports which is well over $30,000 that I have made for my family. Its all documented in my threads. Just ignore the trolls. They are just lonely, bitter and negative people that are nothing but mental midgets trolling a gambling board. They are not worth my time nor yours so dont even respond. They live very sad and pathetic lives and their only enjoyment is getting into online arguments so dont give them the chance. Good luck dude.
