    MLB's NBA Thread

    It's that time of a sports season when everyone's thread comes out.

    I have been around for a while and have been off and on for a couple of months due to various things. I started strong on baseball this year and kind of decided to walk away with some profit as I got busier. Due to traveling on the weekend which is almost all but over, I gave up on posting NFL plays and my hockey thread started decent but is struggling currently. It is my hope to keep these 2 threads going into the winter and then the post season and I hope to have more time.

    Last year, I did not keep a running record but I can't imagine that I made tons of money haha

    Anyways as always, tail, fade or ignore but am looking for good conversation on the season!

    Good luck to everyone

    Looking for a way to get every teams schedule into Microsoft Excel, does anyone know the easiest way or how does everyone keep track of games and team schedules??

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks

    Here are just a few regular season win totals that caught my eye:

    Atlanta under 46.5 (-117)
    Cleveland over 32.5 (+123)
    Detroit Under 32.5 (-154)
    Houston over 48.5 (+111)
    Clips over 38.5 (+153)
    Hornets under 41.5 (-114)
    Jazz under 49.5 (-111)

    Take all of this info for what it's worth.

    I most likely will have a play tonight.

    Best of luck to everyone.

    I can't believe the regular season is finally here.

    Pacers +9 (1u) - only play so far. It has since dropped to 8.5 which is good news right now.

    I'll have some other plays later most likely. I like a lot right now so will have to cut that down

    I usually get a feel on teams before the season starts. This year seems extra hard to me. I'd like to see how they play on the court once before I start forming any opinions. GL. Celtics look like the best game on the board to me. Hope it's not a trap

    I thought you were on Pacers +9, and it moving to 8.5 wouldn't be good if you were on Spurs. Typo??

    honestly i don't like this play since spurs is already an old team so they won't be taking it seriously this start of the season

    Man am I a joke right now ... Not only am I 0-2 but I never even placed the raptors play with my local ... I wrote it here was about to text it in and got side tracked... Oh well ... Need clips to avoid an even more disappointing start to the year.

    LALA/Phoenix Under 210 (1u)
    Suns coming off of a big win of the road last night, and aging a little bit, may not be full run and gun tomorrow especially with how their new offense is run. Worried a little bit with the Lakers doing just enough to get by to win games, but if they play any sort of defense this should stay under. This is also the lowest total set for these 2 teams in the last 10+ meetings, public pounding the over and it is dropping in a few places.

    Memphis +11 (2u)
    Like this play for line movement. Opened at 11 and is down to 10.5 in some places with money coming in on Dallas. Memphis is beat up missing Marc and Randolph but I think that means someone else steps up. Dallas is also coming off of a big win and could be a little bit of a let down factor here.

    Hornets +1 (1u)
    Once again, the movement favors the Hornets and it is still going in that way. Although they blew out the Jazz I am not completely sold on Denver especially on the road. The Jazz also proved to be nothing to special last night getting whomped by the suns on their home court. As for the Hornets, they are coming off a nice home victory verse a playoff contender in Milwaukee and will stay right at home for this game.

    Might have some more later but well see

    Philly +3.5 (1u) - I ended up pulling the trigger. I think they keep it close tonight and i think Hawks let down a tad here.

    Good luck

    Suns +5.5 (1u) - If you like the Suns.. pull the trigger now .. its dropping fast. I was gonna wait on this but its down to 4.5 at some books.

    Pistons +6 (1u) - We'll see what I got tonight.
