The NBA 2011-2012 Season Picks with John Ryan

Vreston · 03-21-12, 05:55 PM

I'm on the Bulls -7 and I kind of like the Nets -4.5. The Bulls have shown they are a "team". Even without Rose they have proven themselves.

N.C.truebet77 · 03-21-12, 09:09 PM

Lol, ur welcome.......don't get mad at me, get mad at the Heat for not showing up until the last 4 minutes of the Game!!!!!!

John, please check out my response in your Philadelphia Phillies page you started on your free picks site. http://www.sbrforum.com/mlb-baseball...eport-a-23950/. I don't know where you plan on responding but a pm or post on your baseball thread, if you started one, or a reply on that webpage would be appreciated.

I responded to the phillies question, which was an excellent one.

5* UNDER Philadelphia 76ers/ Boston

5* Phoenix Suns

5* graded play on Phoenix as they take on Indiana in NBA action set to start at 7:05 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Phoenix will lose this game by fewer than four points and has an excellent shot at winning the game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 37-12 ATS for 76% winners since 1996. Play against home favorites that are extremely tired teams playing nine or more games in 14 days and is a marginal winning team (posting a win percentage of between 51% to 60% of their games and now facing a losing team. The sim projects that Indiana will struggle against the Phoenix defense and general fatigue and score between 93 and 98 points in this game. Indiana is just 4-15 ATS (-12.5 Units) in home games when they score 93 to 98 points in a game over the last three seasons. Moreover, Indiana is just 6-15 ATS (-10.5 Units) when playing 8 or more games in 14 days this season. Take the Phoenix Suns.

John, what do you think about the Lakers/Trailblazers game tonight?

spippen · 03-23-12, 08:19 PM

Looking right on the money so far.

Zeero · 03-23-12, 09:07 PM

pho game was spot on. too bad the bos/phi game is pretty high scoring so far

John Ryan · 03-24-12, 03:19 PM

5* San Antonio -4 1/2 -110 research on the site and this is a valid play without Duncan in the lineup.

5* Charlotte + 6 -110
5* Washington +3 -110

[QUOTE=All In 101;14221186]John, what do you think about the Lakers/Trailblazers game tonight?[/QUOTEI had no opinion for that game. Sorry.. it is so late.

John Ryan · 03-25-12, 09:01 AM

OK. Here is one play I like a lot for Sunday. 10* Oklahoma City

Simulator Projections
The simulator shows a high probability that the Oklahoma City Thunder will win this game by five or more points. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 23-5 for 82% winners since 2006. Play on favorites that are an explosive offensive team averaging 102 or more points per game and now facing a good offensive team scoring between 98 and 102 points per game and after allowing 120 points or more. Take the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 10* Titan Play.

Addtional research is on the site in the form of an article. Check it out. Thanks

Bulls are a very strong team from top to botom. But, you know the Lakers are starting to creep up my simulator power rankings

chief42 · 03-25-12, 10:31 AM

John, what do you think about the Thunder's turnover margin and their defense compared to the Heat? Everything else seems to be pretty even between these two teams. The Heat have a distinct advantage in both of those categories.

Statistically, you are perfectly correct, but the Thunder have shown that they do have the ability to matchup and play a strong agressive defense that I believe will cause unforced errors by the Heat. This will be a great game to watch - no doubt. I think that Oklahoma City has far too much depth and have the much better bench at this point.

NYSackExchange · 03-25-12, 09:34 PM

Solid win, thanks John.

Zeero · 03-25-12, 10:16 PM

thanks john

N.C.truebet77 · 03-26-12, 12:07 AM

Nice call on the Thunder John....I didn't be on the game, no way I could bet against my Heat. Nothing against your pick, but I didn't bet on the game at all partly because of you so even though I didn't make money I didn't lose any!!!

iplan4u · 03-26-12, 12:26 PM

Thunder fan says, ...." Strong pick and target analysis re: Thunder D and Heat TO's.". Many thanks.

Bellz420 · 03-26-12, 01:50 PM

What do you think about taking the Knicks at home tonight?

Or at least possible under +injuries?

JJsaint04 · 03-26-12, 05:44 PM

I wouldn't take the knicks even if Amare and Lin were playing, bucks +5 is a freaking steal.

John Ryan · 03-26-12, 05:56 PM

5* New Jersey - 1 1/2
5* Bobcats + 6 1/2
5* Indiana + 4 -110

report for the Nets is on the site. Also, I like parlaying the two dogs using the money line for a 2* amount. That parlay is not counted in the record keeping, but is still a wager that I beleive will hit adn will pay-oof quite nicely.

chief42 · 03-26-12, 08:21 PM

Come on Nets, lets make it to the finish line!

So much for the fatigue factor with the Jazz, they blew the heartless Nets out of their own building. Oh well onto the next one.

I read the write up on nj, could this be a game where sharps bet the line one way early (nj) and then hammer Utah late? When I first looked at this game I figured Utah was easy money. The more research I did I saw a lot of people on nj. I ended up not playing it at all bc of the line move and other cappers I respect being on nj also. Interesting line moves in this 1.

(My sentiments too. Go JR, the next run awaits!!) Iplan4u

What I love about baskbetball is the ability to follow a game before it starts then bet in play when the team you like goes on a cold streak to get a better points spread. I got an extra point on Charlotte and won last night! What I really like about basketball though is that John Ryan is a great handicapper of the sport and shares his knowledge with us. John, your picks have made me a lot of money in the past month or so and I want to thank you.

Bellz420 · 03-27-12, 08:41 AM

Love the mavs tonight...any thoughts?

CrazyCarl · 03-27-12, 11:45 AM

How is John Ryan's YTD looking so far?

Ncs87ftball · 03-27-12, 05:09 PM

Hey John,

I love the Twolves getting points against Memphis, but some of this scares me, particularly the injuries on the Twolves given this is a system play...

"The Timberwolves, however, could have a hard time sustaining their momentum given their recent efforts in this series.
After a brief stop home, Minnesota heads back on the road Tuesday night looking to avoid a 10th loss in 11 meetings with Memphis and a sixth consecutive defeat at FedExForum.
The Timberwolves (24-26) entered Sunday having dropped seven of nine, including five of seven on their longest road swing in franchise history. With one game back at Target Center before another two-game trip, though, Minnesota got back on track Sunday with a 117-100 win over Denver.

While Michael Beasley (toe) returned from a one-game absence Sunday, Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic (ankle) was sidelined for the fourth time in five games and won't be available until at least Friday. J.J. Barea's status is uncertain after sitting out against the Nuggets with a right thigh contusion."

N.C.truebet77 · 03-27-12, 05:23 PM

Hey John there is a covers.com expert who says OKC @ Portland to take OKC-5...OKC if has already beaten Portland twice this year. Any thoughts on this game and if so how strong is OKC covering this spread in your opinion??

my6sen · 03-27-12, 05:53 PM

trust me take Portland 100% win and HOU too and CLE too bet biggggggggggggg
