Pixster Plays Halfs

[pixster]

OK, so now that MIA has tied the series, the momentum shifts to the Heat's side BIG TIME as they head to MIA. The Thunder is a great offensive scoring machine, but they're not quite ready to win the Championship when compared to the likes of MIA. Unless MIA has a major breakdown along the way, I see the Heat winning the series.

As of right now, MIA is a 4 pt. full game fav next Sunday. Lean: 1st Half MIA if spread opens at <3.

[pixster]

Until OKC proves otherwise in the first halves of the Finals, I'll continue picking MIA. The teams are playing in MIA today, and its the Heat's first home game of the series. C'mon, Lebron/Wade & Co. are gonna be pumped up!

We all know that the Heat have been playing pretty good in the first half of the first two games - in OKC no less. The Thunder realize this all too well, and will make an inspired effort to start off Game 3 better than they have been in the previous matchups. For these reasons, I'm going with two 1st Half picks. Stay tuned...

[pixster]

OKC @ MIA
Game 3

Pick 1
(1st Half): MIA -2.5, 2.5 units

Pick 2
(1st Half) O 97, 1.5 units

I don't think this will be a low scoring game. Offense + Offense = Points. Both teams have big reasons to score early, but OKC will have a harder time stopping MIA at the AA Arena today.

[pixster]

Alright, close game. Came up short on both picks. Both teams look tentative as if waiting to see what the other is going to do. A sub par offensive performance has been the result.

I think the 2nd Half will mirror the first. The current 2nd Half lines are the same as the 1st. Thus:

OKC @ MIA
Game 3

Pick 3
(2st Half): OKC +2.5, 4 units

Pick 4
(2nd Half) U 97, 3 units

[pixster]

OKC @ MIA
Game 4

(1st Half): O 95.5, 2 units

[pixster]

OKC @ MIA
Game 5

(1st Half): OKC +1.5, 3 units

[pixster]

OKC @ MIA
Game 5

(2nd Half): U 97, 10 units

[pixster]

San Antonio @ Denver (1st Half): DEN -1, 1 Unit

[pixster]

NO @ GS (1st Half): GS -4, 2 units

[pixster]

CHA @ LAL (1st Half): U 106, 1.5 Units

[pixster]

San Antonio @ Denver (1st Half): DEN -1, 1 Unit W

Nice! My first NBA play this season...been focusing on the NFL. Hope its indicative of things to come. Feel now is a good time to play some hoops, too. Love this time of year!

[pixster]

NO @ GS (1st Half): GS -4, 2 units W
CHA @ LAL (1st Half): U 106, 1.5 Units L

2 - 1 on the night. Obviously in the black; may go with a small unit 2nd halfer.

[pixster]

CHA @ LAL (2nd Half): CHA +11, 0.5 Units

[pixster]

San Antonio @ Denver (1st Half): DEN -1, 1 Unit W
NO @ GS (1st Half): GS -4, 2 units W
CHA @ LAL (1st Half): U 106, 1.5 Units L
CHA @ LAL (2nd Half): CHA +11, 0.5 Units W

Opening day for the Pixster is a profitable one. Batting .750 (I don't do MLB, but might give it a try one of these seasons as I used to be pretty good playing the sport during my school years).

Haven't been staying up to date with the latest NBA news, stories, etc. So, I may not post a play on a daily basis next couple of weeks. I'll sneak a pick now and then before I ratchet up the pace.

Good luck to all, and hope to exchange replies with some of you as the season progresses.

Haven't really looked at the later games...doing festivities with the family...may lay off the picks to just watch and study for future reference. Happy Holidays to all, peace, and good luck.

[pixster]

Passing on OKC/MIA, but I'll take a shot on HOU/CHI 1st Half.

HOU @ CHI (1st Half) HOU +2.5, 1 .5 Units

[pixster]

HOU/CHI
Top offense vs. top defense. Stats reveal that HOU has the hotter hand at the moment. Gotta go w/ the team with the momentum. GL
