LTA's NBA Plays

**Les_Nuts** · 05-01-12, 05:07 PM

LTA, do you not think the books have overreacted to the point spread in the Bulls game? I really think we win by DD but am kicking myself for missing the -5.5 opener, if it hits 6 I will probably take it. My only concern is our offensive rhythm in the backcourt will be off, after it looked great last game and am already on the under with you so don't want too much gambling attachment to the game. Kinda talking myself out of it

**JM92** · 05-01-12, 05:13 PM

I'm on the Sixers. For the same reason Lta mentioned the under to be a good play. They will struggle mighty to get points.

You could take the path I'm going... I'm on the Under, but will wait to see how the game flows before I consider putting some dough on a point spread, i.e Live betting.

I hate having more than one play on a game so I am passing unless I radically change my mind. I see an 87-75 type game tonight, GL

**meader99** · 05-01-12, 06:36 PM

Yeah, I think Thibs will put forth a masterful defensive game plan tonight. A lot of people blaming him for the Rose injury, which is laughable, but I think he puts the pressure on his shoulders and has this team as ready to play as ever.

**jas19illini** · 05-01-12, 07:19 PM

EVERY shot is falling early in the bulls game.

Playoff defending hasn't kicked in for either defending. Only one playing some good D is Iggy, when both team's start playing some D the shot's will start missing

**Pivotpoint** · 05-01-12, 07:33 PM

Live total 185 1/2 2:14 mark 1q. Score Bulls 24 Sixers 22. Almost added to under, but held back.

**alamo** · 05-01-12, 07:44 PM

Celts are 6qtrs into the playoffs and are now 0/18 from 3pt land

**migz** · 05-01-12, 07:53 PM

If we get a 30pt qtr then we're good

**Punter101** · 05-01-12, 07:56 PM

3rd quarter should go for a low scoring quarter as both coach's yell defense to their teams at HT or they could shoot lights out hopefully the former

**Punter101** · 05-01-12, 08:10 PM

Wow the last 2:30 of that 2nd quarter really screwed that under. Gonna need them to quit making shots now

**JM92** · 05-01-12, 08:10 PM

what the **** is this shit. coaches don't need to yell defense. defense is being played. why the hell do some this assholes need be lights out on this particular day?

**celticsboy** · 05-01-12, 08:14 PM

Last 2:30 18pts

**Speedy88** · 05-01-12, 08:15 PM

Good bye Under. These low totals can be brutal.

**chief42** · 05-01-12, 08:15 PM

yeah Noah going 7/7 pretty much sums it up until this point.

**Catchn_Picks** · 05-01-12, 08:16 PM

Anyone with the balls to play under 88 in the second half?

It is my system play but already have 3 units hanging out there.

**GetLaidGetPaid** · 05-01-12, 08:18 PM

I think LTA made an error and meant to post Over for bulls and Under for celtics

**Les_Nuts** · 05-01-12, 08:19 PM

I'm taking the 2nd half under. Depending on the score I wouldn't be surprised if the 4th quarter had less than 30 points

**migz** · 05-01-12, 08:21 PM

Damn, brutal. Congrats over backers.

In the same boat. Finger on trigger. That's under 190 game. Gives you 14 pts from original # to catch a side, possibly reduce losses. . Books took original # and divided by 2, thinking game will revert to norm. Might like to see a little higher number than 1/2 of original considering what we are seeing tonight. Sixers want to push ball, but only works on def. rebounds when Bulls miss. Both teams hitting good %.

**Punter101** · 05-01-12, 08:23 PM

I'm not counting the under a loss yet

**alamo** · 05-01-12, 08:25 PM

Bulls have attempted 49 shots alone in the 1st half. Both teams playing up tempo. Hopefully it slows down dramatically 2h

**RDUBS** · 05-01-12, 08:42 PM

Need OT in the Celts game. Wacked after that 1st qtr!!

**Catchn_Picks** · 05-01-12, 08:58 PM

3 over quarters for a game between Phil and Chicago playing without Rose?

Ok...I get it. (Sarcasm included)

**Love The Action** · 05-01-12, 09:14 PM

Holy crap....just got home from a tough workday to see this boxscore. That really sucked. However, this is the playoffs and you have to play aggressive. In a way, I am actually glad we lost in a laugher rather than a game that went over by a few points. I only say that because now we are going to get great value on the under in game 3 with an opener of around 178. I highly doubt that Philly plays this good offensively with 60% shooting, 50% from three, etc. I will probably have my biggest play of the year on the under. It also fits the Bulls trend under Thibs of responding from a bad loss with a dominate defensive performance that keeps the game under.

**Catchn_Picks** · 05-01-12, 09:37 PM

Imo LTA, Phil Chic was a total aberration game. Overs on the game, each quarter and both halves. Chicago knows that they cannot win this series if they give up over a hundred points in any game.

**Les_Nuts** · 05-01-12, 09:40 PM

We gave up 36 points in a quarter, rarely happens

Play #1

76'ers/Bulls under (176.5) 3x (Locked)

Without Rose, I put this total at 173.5 and I expect a lot of defensive adjustments by both teams. This should be a half court game predicated on defense. JLIII and Watson do not match up well with Philly's backcourt who I expect to frustrate Chicago's remaing point guards. I think the Bulls will really struggle scoring points in the 2h of the game and I expect a very low scoring 4th quarter. I am rolling with the under for 3x. Good luck.

Play #2

Celtics/Hawks over (172) 1x (Locked)

The books have made a classic overadjustment based on the last game going under and the loss of Rondo. This game should not be below the 175 that I have so I am rolling with the value on the over for 1x. Good luck.

Play #3

Nuggets (+6) 1x (Locked)

We're getting one point more than last game and that's too much value to pass up. I don't see the Lakers shooting 50% and Denver shooting 35% two games in a row. Denver is smaller, but there's no reason to shoot that bad. I think they keep it close and cover the 6 points. I am rolling with Denver for 1x. Good luck.

**Les_Nuts** · 05-01-12, 09:45 PM

I am on the Nuggets already but at 5.5. I was wondering whether when playing these mid-short range dogs, so you ever sprinkle maybe 1/4h of your bet on the spread on the ML?

Damn bud, hate to go against you but booked Lakers -5 overnight yesterday. Hopefully one of us pushes and the other wins.

Can't wait for the Under play on the Chicago / 76ers series. Was glad it had no chance to hit. Didn't need to waste time watching it calculating the ppm every damn second =p

Onto tomorrow it is !!!

**paco** · 05-01-12, 11:26 PM

Nuggets have no answer for Kobe and Bynum. Lakers will battle ffor the west

**SlickRick1382** · 05-01-12, 11:57 PM

They don't need one. Kobe Bryant is shooting them back into this game. All his jacking up of shots are creating fast break points keeping the Nuggets in the game and somehow only down 4 at this point.
