    Nice 2-0 day, sort of making up for my poor card yesterday. Let's keep this momentum going and look for another winner tomorrow!

    I am really hoping the Clippers can be tied or ahead of the Lakers at the half. The spread will be really appealing because the Lakers are a much much better second half team than the Clippers, and they almost blew the lead last night against the Wizards by not coming out to play in the second half. There could be some value here. I will wait and see

    There is a play on:

    Lakers second half (-5)(-110) vs. Clippers. 4.4 units to win 4

    We can cover on this spread with the Lakers still missing on the original game spread of -8, that is the ideal halftime situation. The Lakers are a better second half team, and are just shooting poorly. What caught my eye here is that the Lakers played a terrible first half, and are only losing to the Clippers by 2. They probably thought they would come out and roll Griffin and the Clip, but they are surely getting an earful from coach Jackson. I expect them to win this game by 5, failing to cover the original spread posted.

    Loser (-4.4 units)
    Lakers won the half by 3 points. Well, if you havn't learned yet, fade my late late picks. any pick I make that is either during a game, or right before tip off, FADE.

    If you tailed my bets that weren't made within 5 minutes before tip off, you would be 6-2-1 (+14.4 units)
    If you faded my bets that were made 5 minutes before the books closed, you would be 3-0 (+12 units)

    They are a much better 1Q team, I had them winning that quarter by 7.6. Now let's hope nj can stay within 10!

    It was a close one. I tailed Indian Cowboy on the pick because he was 1/3 in his last 3 picks and he usually bounces back at that point. I will probably be on sweetjones tomorrow, I may look at IC because he should be bouncing back with a couple consecutive nba winners in the near future.

    Season Record: 7-6-1 (+1 unit)

    Today's play in on:

    Indiana Pacers 1H (-3)(-115) vs. Charlotte Bobcats. 9.2 units to win 8

    The pacers are a much better first half team than Charlotte. They have won more first halves, and more 1Q and 2Q, respectively. The public is all over Indiana to cover the spread. What we usually see in those games is that Indy will come out with a 7 or 8 point lead at the half, and then blow the cover later on in the game when the starters are hanging out on the bench. Charlotte also lost to Washington in 1H, and the Wizards are truly a bad 1H team. Indy has beaten teams like Toronto, OKC, and Orlando 1H.

    New York Knicks 1H (-1.5)(-110) vs Washington Wizards. 4.4 units to win 4

    Knicks dominating as of late. Wizards are bad first half and john wall is not 100%. Look for Wizards to be down 5 at the half.

    Today's play is on:

    San Antonio Spurs (-8)(-110) vs. Atlanta Hawks. 4.4 units to win 4.

    Revenge game dating back to last year. San An usually wins by double digits vs. Atl when at home. That makes 3 total plays for NBA today

    Winner (+8 units) Pacers played well in the first half. I was very happy that I had a lot of units on this play, because I was skeptical about the Knicks play.

    Loser -4.4 units The Knicks just did not play well in this first half. They were second in the league in 2nd quarter scoring and Washington was last place, but they really were sparked by the return of Blatche and Wall, and dominated play in both quarters

    Heat took it to the "Curry-less" Warrior's in the 1Q and won it 26-20. Nice finish to the night, ended up 3-1 +9.6 units

    Through 10 days of betting, I am up 22.6 units between this NBA thread and my NHL thread. hopefully I can keep that going and end up with 30 units by Christmas. Sometimes you just have to know when to tail and when to look for your own plays

    Not much to say here. Just didn't show up to play...

    edit: and of course the Heat dominate the 2Q and win the 1H by 5, and then end up rolling the kings for a huge win. I put in a few units on them to win the 2H (-5), so it wasn't too bad of a game

    The Lakers came out shooting 0-6 and trailed 7-0 on the scoreboard, but hit 8 of their next 12 shots and got themselves back into it. They really took over after Jackson called the time out with about 7 minutes to play in the quarter. I think that will be my only play today, I really just want to keep those 4 units in the bank!

    I am just tailing sweetjones here, I know that memphis can play good ball when at home this season, and sweetjones is doing really well, so I am gonna ride that out for a little bit. BOL to everyone who has a play tonight, I am also looking at the heat in the 1Q again, or possibly dallas 1Q, but I'll see what the lines come out at.

    Nice to see the big 6 unit play cash this evening. Big thanks to SJ55 for his continued success the past few days. I will be on the sweetjones train for a while now, as he has been spot on in many of his calls as of late.
