Lol. Couldn't figure either way so I took the under. Glad I did but happy for OKC

Grats! Nice call. Yea I had a good feeling the game wasnt going to get close to 202 but I never really play O/U so I just went with the Thunder. Spurs -11 tomorrow, I'm calling it!!

John Ryan · 02-11-12, 11:12 AM

25-19 ATS with NBA 5* plays and 5-2 ATS with 10* plays for the season.

Lost with the Jazz last night, but I think this si the first time in five games that I have lost a game that involved the Thunder. PURELY coincidental though.

so fr today, I have a 5* play on the Charlotte Bobcats. That's right the completely basketball challenged 3-23 Bobcats, who are on a 13-game losing streak. Check out the research on the web site. I will be back late afternoon ET to provide any aditional plays for the evening card.

jjaycuny · 02-11-12, 06:07 PM

Yes,. i think Philly is the right side.. I just don't have enough reason to make it a graded play. I like the 76ers as a team, love the head coach and they are heading in the right direction

Good luck.. I hope it wins of course. i have nothing at all on this play, BUT that does not mean that is not a great opportunity.

kj8210 · 02-11-12, 11:59 PM

My new rule for this NBA season: always bet against the Bobcats

Lol KJ. Hope you didn't play today. I almost played the Clippers but got spooked after everyone was saying Charlotte covers. Played SAS and NYK instead so still cashed

John Ryan · 02-12-12, 10:13 AM

Occasionally, it appears I am taking an obvious risk and casting support for one ugly dog. That event occurred last night with a horrid selection and losing 5* play on the Charlotte Bobcats, who were hammered from the opening tip by the Clippers. Hindsight is always right. Season record now stands at 25-20 ATS with NBA 5* plays and 5-2 ATS with 10* plays for the season.

5* graded play on the Utah Jazz as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies set to start at 9:35 PM ET. Utah has hit a losing skid of five of the past six games and have gone 2-3-1 ATS in those games. Normally, this is not good news for any NBA team, but they have played some of the best NBA teams in this league during this stretch in LA Clippers, LA Lakers, on the road at the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. Their last game was a 101-87 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have the best record in the NBA. So, these losing ways do not reflect poor team play, but rather very tough and elite opponents.

Hey John,

Any leans on the Chicago/Boston game?

Thanks for another winner john ....

kj8210 · 02-13-12, 12:00 AM

Good call tonight John, thanks!!

Looking4Winners · 02-13-12, 01:04 PM

Looks like the Hornets are really banged up and might be without their centers tonight.. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/injuries

edmskid · 02-13-12, 02:14 PM

I lean Jazz there already, but thanks for the info. Any thoughts on that game John? I'm looking at -4.5 -110. Thinking that's pretty good.

John Ryan · 02-13-12, 04:34 PM

I have a 5* on Golden State -3 -110 as they host Phoenix tonight. I have also started the Challenge from LT Profits and this will be a fun, yet serious show down. As you know, he is a very well respected sports handicapper writer, author, and player too. So, I will have my hands full just to stay up with him. Hopefully, we both kick butt adn hit over 60% ATS over the next 30 days of selections. Check it out. Should be a ton of fun.

hotnapkinman · 02-13-12, 04:55 PM

I got them at -4 110. Let's all win today

Crazy Legs, deep down inside, in places you don't want to talk about, you want to bury LT Profits and show the world who the true handicapping alpha male is here at SBR. I have heard that LT Profits will change his name into (B)ig (T)ime Losses if he winds up on the short end of this stick. Crazy Legs, I heart you and your neural algorithm software and artificial intelligence girlfriend.

John Ryan · 02-14-12, 11:13 AM

27-20 ATS with NBA 5* plays and 5-2 ATS with 10* plays for the season. On pace for a solid season.

so far today 5* play on the Lakers.

edmskid · 02-14-12, 03:07 PM

Thanks John - nice one. As a Suns fan, I've been watching the games closely with GSW that last couple of years - and it always goes exactly like that one when GSW's at home - Suns lead, then lead big, then a 22-8 run, then more GSW, then the Suns can't shoot, then the horn goes ;-) Tailed you on that side, and took GSW at the half 2x. Thank god I'm not betting with my heart ;-)

Interested to see your lakers writeup. Hawks seems a little schizo right now. I like the under in that one too, so I'm curious to see whether you're on the side or the total there. Cheers.

moshi · 02-14-12, 03:51 PM

John, is that Lakers ML or point spread? Not sure what happened to Atlanta at Miami, but if they play that way today, I can see this hitting big time.

John Ryan · 02-14-12, 04:38 PM

5* play Toronto +5 -110 playing Knicks

5* play Oklahoma City -11 1/2 -110 playing the Utah Jazz

5* Lakers -5 -110 hosting the Hawks - research is on the NBA page of this site.

Hoodz · 02-14-12, 08:53 PM

Looking good so far

moshi · 02-14-12, 11:42 PM

On a roll here John. Let's hope Lakers can bring it back in the second half.

moshi · 02-15-12, 12:43 AM

Woo! 3-0

Looking4Winners · 02-15-12, 12:46 AM

Fantastic night John!!! 3-0 in the NBA and 3-0 in college hoops...

BigBurk · 02-15-12, 01:40 AM

Way to go John, keep it up.

illios · 02-15-12, 02:51 AM

Damn nice!

johno35 · 02-15-12, 04:45 AM

Great job John, killing LT Profits!
