LTA's NBA Plays

[m11chen]

Great call LTA. Good thing I hedged out of my Heat bet. That game was entertaining as hell!

[Love The Action]

Ofcourse. In this case, I simply rounded out for the total when replying to Red. My model has the Heat at 96.4 and the Bulls at 93.7. Rounding out for other factors, I set the line at 3 and the total at 190.

Final score 97-93. My model was right on the money with that one. Now let's get this late game and start making a move.

[No coincidences]

Nice hit LTA. Gotta love the Heat in the 4Q if you're on the other side.

[Redscot]

Wish the Bulls could have pulled it out, but end of the day, I'll take the 2 units in my pocket. Well diagnosed game bro.....looking for a nice up and down game in Denver tonight to cap off a great day.

[mikea33]

LTA,

never been one to believe NBA is rigged in anyway.....but wow refs convinced me today with their brutal and questionable calls in favor of a miami cover......it was gross and so blatant playing games with the books

[migz]

Nice call.

Wow. You couldn't get much better capping than that. Great work LTA.

[mikea33]

Holy crap LTA never realized your model that was nuts.

[kl06ty]

good call...I bought Chicago +5 and U191 each for 1 unit to start, then just to save myself I bought U203.5 and Chicago +6.5 each for 0.5 unit..haha good da so far..cheers

Really liked the Pacers today. Will be interested to see how that game turns out. It's tough to play any game involving the unpredictability of the Magic. They can come out and shoot 60% or 30%....you never really know what to expect. Interesting game.

[kl06ty]

At the rate the Indiana Pacers/Orlando game is going..it is going to rake a ton of $$ on live betting...wild runs swinging for both sides...who can guess the final predictions lol

[mikea33]

put 2x on denver o206......should bea close calll

[alamo]

Nice call LTA on the bulls. I sat that one out. Now lets buckle up again for the main event in Denver !

[JM92]

Congrats LTA, in the end, we were both right! Ended up going with you + 4.5 and parlaying the Heat ML with the Boston ML.

Btw, I got the over @ 204.5 on the Denver/LAC game, portuguese bookie.

As much as a physical specimen that Howard is, I am not a big fan at this stage. Yes, he can physically dominate...a big man that can do that is a huge commodity...no question. Maturity, leadership, refining his game, not just relying on his physical advantages.....I need to see progress if I am going to make him the cornerstone of my franchise. Dunno, guy comes off as a phony to me.....don't know him personally though. Been a lot of drama in Orlando the last few years for teams that were not cellar dwellers.....not sure if Stan Van has something to do with that himself though.

Indiana's ability to play half court D and rebound/grind could translate into a frustrating playoff opponent to someone down the line..................Creating offense remains their bugaboo.

if miami traded wade for howard, they might not lose a game

[m11chen]

Lawson announced OUT.

This might affect the over, as Andre Miller doesn't quite push the same speed. Contemplating buying out of that bet, hmmmm...

[Redscot]

No doubt Howard is a difference maker. Fitting his personality into the Heat team without Wade?........Nah man, they would lose their share of games...who's finishing? who's hitting free throws? Weren't they not supposed to lose a game as they are presently constituted. Wade is the only guy on the Heat who has walked the walk...winning a championship with this roster:

I dont wanna clog LTAs thread... but real quick... Lebron and wade are the same type player.. as we see this year, lebron and bosh both play better with wade out. They are obviously still a great team with Wade, but they could be so much better without their two best guys being guys that demand the ball and play best with the ball in their hands. If you add dwights defense and rebounding, along with his dominant (sometimes) inside game, they would be unreal.

Anyway... lets see some points clipps and nuggs

[mikea33]

no lawson no over fuk

[m11chen]

I'm gonna let my small play on the over ride out. Probably should have bought out... but we'll see.

[Donnie Brasco]

Pacers are rolling bro

Agree with that point bro ....My hit on Dwight was more about him being THE MAN, the leader at this stage in his career, I ain't feeling it. Lets get those points...no ill will...just talkin' .

From now on im playing ur leans!

[alamo]

49 - Qtr1, Both teams a little slow outta the blocks but heated up. The only thing were going to need is that the three ball starts to fall. 1/7 combined from downtown aint gonna get it done. I think they find their range from here on in

i was doubting this line earlier today as well....turns out they magic are self destructing, badly....another 20pt beat-down ....how much longer till Howard gets traded??

[Love The Action]

Why did they take 3 points away from the Clippers at halftime? I'm not watching the game. It was 53-51 at halftime on SBR, ESPN,etc. Now all of a sudden it's 53-48. WTF.

I noticed that as well, first it was just Yahoo but now everywhere has updated

Im wondering the same thing???? only things I can think is that they are reviewing billups last 3 so they took it off the board for now?? no clue

[alamo]

Still in good shape at the half in Denver. Both teams starting to hit it from three land. Only thing that I hope wont come back to bite us in the nuts is the Free throw shooting (13/22 , 60%) at HT is pretty awful and a lot of lose change left on the street.

There was a Billups 3 pointer that was shot right at the time of buzzer. They probably reversed it since they probably reviewed it, and it was after the buzzer. It went in, I am guessing that is it.

[alamo]

Only thing I can think of is that the shot clock expired before he got the shot off, but Im guessing here

[Love The Action]

I need this one boys....good luck

[alamo]

Tip for the Clippers - JUST GIVE THE BALL TO CHAWKEY BILLUPS
