NBA 2011-2012 Picks.

Thoughts on Denver/Portland LB? I'm going to the game tonight, and I'm thinkign of pounding Portland. Denver is on their 3rd game in as many days, and I'd expect the Blazers to come out ready after that loss in Sac the other night. Like someone else said, I just wish I got an earlier line.

[PR9]

Also if Minny wins tonight they will be .500 for the 1st time this season. We saw another team in this same spot a week ago dying to hit .500 and they played an amazing game.

With that said, Minny has had chances to hit .500 earlier, but tonight I like their chances better. Minny plays 4 of their next 5 at home and seem determined to improve their home record (5-8 at home vs 6-4 on the road --- Houston is 10-3 at home and 3-7 on the road)

tonight is houston's first game of a 6-game road trip.

Like this spot for Minny even more now.

[PR9]

speedy, the Lakers left denver late last night (or early morning) because of the storm. I'm curious to know if Denver left town late for the same reasons as well

[djpremier36]

Only reason Wizard are not the worst team in the league is because the Bobcats lost 2 starters and happened to play the Wizards at the time. Not sure if you're being sarcastic about the Clippers, they won 2 straight on the road vs Denver and Utah. And overall played just 7 road games, hardly enough to conclude that they suck on the road. Magic got their much needed win 2 games ago to break that ugly streak. Last night was their 2nd win in a row and they already beat Indy in Indy. Magic are pretty much the Nuggets of last year because of Dwight situation, Nuggs were a bit more predictable cause of their dominant play at home. Still plenty of talent, they are capable of beating Indy imo. I wouldn't play that game.

Yes the Wiz have been bad but if they can hang with the likes of the Celtics, Thunder and the Bulls (for the most part) at home; the Clipps don't worry me. Also look at how they've played under their interim coach compared to their previous coach.

Ok, the Magic have won 2 in a row... over who? Cavs and Wiz, both at home . Pacers laying 5.5 doesn't worry me at all. Two teams going in opposite directions, short term and long term.

[PR9]

just learned that HOU has won 8 straight in minny and 15 of the last 17 there. ouch.

also, when I looked it up Minny's starters played a hell of alot more mins last night compared to houston's starters. HOU starters barely played while Love and Rubio saw 40 minutes in a drawn out grind-it-out win. This may take it from a medium play to a small play, if I play it at all. There's probably better opportunites on the board tonight.

[The Special One]

I like Utah too, LAL gave it all they had yesterday, Utah will pound them

[lakerboy]

I'm worried about getting -4 on atl as I thought it would move to -4.5. If it stays at -3.5 I'm okay.

Also concerned why the jazz isn't going to -2.5.

Can't touch the wiz after the clippers lost big the other night.

Thinking of the bulls. Due for a breakout game.

I think port should win big but not because den is playing 3 straight. I just think denver is regressing. They have zero inside game.

I think the spurs are a good bet but I just wish I got some of these lines earlier.

I might take the mavs even though its square.

nothign really jumps out at me tonight..utah is the right play, but i hate betting against LAL so im staying away. i kinda of like houston initially, but i think the value is gone and it's better to take minny now at -1. its basically a pickem game at this point and i thin kminny could come out playing hard to avenge an earlier lost, and like PR9 said earlier, houston has dominated recently in MIN...portland -6 looks good to me too.

[mikea33]

How is denver regressing? They just SPANKED very hot clip team and came down to last posesion against lakers

[lakerboy]

They should have found a way to beat the lakers. They also blew that game in mem.

[lakerboy]

Mil/chi under 186.5 -101 (3x)

Port -3 (first half) -107 (3x)

Bulls -2.5 -105 (3x) first half

[lakerboy]

Port -6 -107 (6x)

[PR9]

Lakers play well against teams with poor guard play, and especially from the PG position. This is a main reason why they beat the jazz twice already this season. And Im hearing Harris may be out for the Jazz tonight and if he is the jazz may be in big trouble imo. As they have total garbage behind him.

you're right about the lakers against guard play but utah is better with earl watson at the point instead of harris. don't think it will matter either way though.

[PR9]

BW says Lakers are very square

[jackdean33]

BW says Lakers are very square

where?

[jmf]

BW says Lakers are very square

Because Harris won't play I guess...

[Speedy88]

Well if BW says so, then they are square.I'm staying at a hotel, and the computer is VERY slow, so I can't do much research, but isn't Earl Watson also hurt. So if Harris and Watson are out, wouldn't that pretty much leave all the ball handling to Jamaal Tinsley?

Tinsley played really well the other day and said when given minutes he can still ball.

Utah -2.5

[CHAZ]

Port -6 -107 (6x)

Been debating if I'm to late on this. 6 might be to much here.

[PR9]

where?

[The Architect]

ATL is down to -3 now...portland laying 6 could be too much, i could easily see this being a 1-2 possession game at the end..utah and LAL is a tossup in my opinion..don't think im betting too much tonight..BOL as always LB

[tatddy]

Can any of you see backing the Magic tonight?

[MiAMiEDDY]

[deeznutz]

[deeznutz]

[BettingWizard]

even bodog moved to jazz -2.5

[ebbearsfb1]

Yeah magic have pacers number

[Allure]

Once it moved off the 4 to 3.5, Atlanta was done.

[PR9]

Once it moved off the 4 to 3.5, Atlanta was done.

It then moved to -3 for an hour at pinnacle... then moved to -2.5 at 5Dimes 3 minutes before tipoff

Yeah Atlanta was a huge, huge, huge trap.

They will lose to LA and SA though, no chance.
