lovin the fade material ratzz. keep it commin

hmm.. it sems to me that you are one of those unfortunate people that sees losers everywhere around himself...

recent advances in the treatment of this disease suggest that those afflicted with this condition should:

1) forget what what your father told you... sadly, he was just repeating what his father told him.

2) eliminate as much as possible all unnecessary mirrors and reflective surfaces.. keep the one in the bathroom for grooming purposes.. but eliminate the ones on your desk, and on the ceiling over the bed..

do not despair my good friend, there still remains hope for you.

great plays so far hopefully twolves can come in for you - how many units are you placing on your plays? 1 per play?

ya mostly.. if i had gone heavy on a single game, it likely woulda been the Sixers tonight.. i liked that game very much all day..

[T00faded]

wow you on a good run sir

wow you on a good run sir

let's keep it going tonite hopefully....

THURS/Jan 20th Thurz

• 76ERS PISSED OFF. i would be too.
Led the WHOLE way IN Orlando... and lost by single pt. in OT
MAGIC much better than Charlotte.
This is basic Algebra... If equal to ORLANDO.. then 'greater than' Charlotte
or… (if PHI = ORL, then… PHI > CHA)
wonder why huge spread? b2b maybe
PHILADELPHIA (+5) Game

• i know Dallas very hot after last night.. BULLS 18-4 at home... won't ignore that..
CHICAGO (-3.5) Game

• LA CLIPS are 3-12 away, and PORTLAND is 14-5..
that is a 26-7 chance of covering two measly baskets.. or (3.714 to 1)
that is enough for me.
PORTLAND (-3.5) Game

[T00faded]

glad we're on the same picks.

i like Chicago pick for tonight. bol to everyone.

ok, that's two (PHI, CHI).. hope PORTLAND comes in for the Trifecta**

got 'em all... looks like the new scope i picked up z'working pretty good

[Ratzz]

blazers looking ok... 80+ after 3... if they get 100, i think it'll come in..

[AzNDooM]

Your looking good on this at the moment, Portland fans are going nuts at home at the moment.

hmm.. that's odd.. i was just looking up some stats and it appears that the Cavs have the least amount of games that went OT..

FRI/Jan 21th BIG FRI

•• NETS distracted by trade talks.. a little lost after MELO diss. For DETROIT, McGrady playing terrible, (6 of 16 shooting over 3 games) it started three games ago but looks like it's spreading to rest of team.
DET/NJN UNDER (48) 1st QTR.

•• Raptors played Spurs very well for three quarters.. slipped but covered in 4th, (still hungry). MAgic looking for 8th game at home (last time 2008) and want to avenge loss to Rapts earlier in season, look for a quick start.
TOR/ORL OVER (52) 1st QTR.

•• Wizards have won 4 straight at Verizon Center, played UTAH great last time at home. Young averaging 26.1 replacing Arenas.. Wall only scored 12 against Suns (in PHX) last time. Look for a better outing here. WIZ are 5-4 when he pots 19 or more.
WASHINGTON (pk) 1st QTR.
WASHINGTON (-1) Game

•• KNICKS scored a whopping 125 pts. at home against Spurs JAN 4th, but have averaged ONLY 85.7 in their last 7 trips at the AT&T Center..(ouch!) playing very poor defense recently (114.3 pts. allowed last 4 games), Amare called out the entire team in the media. Houston made them the defense again look terrible in their last game, Look for a much improved defensive effort tonite. As well an a concerted effort to raise that 85.7 ppg they have in SA last 7x.
NEW YORK (+2.5) 1st QTR.
NEW YORK (+9) Game

•• MEMPHIS wants to make up the slight lead that Houston has in the Western Conference. As well MEMPHIS desperately wants to avoid an 8th STRAIGHT LOSS to the Rockets. Good thing they are at home, and have that advantage. The GRIZZLIES gave the HORNETS everything they could handle and lost by a single PT. in OT in New Orleans, and look to expand on that outing.
MEMPHIS (-3.5) Game

•• LAKER fans may be treated to a different treat than the last 4 visits to to Denver. Lakers have shot poorly and dropped 4 straight (which NEVER happens to LA) LAKERS were playing swimmingly in DALLAS and fell apart in the 3rd Qtr, only scoring 17 (and outscored by 13) Look for a whole game effort by Lakers tonite. NUGGETS have averaged 125.3 points in their last 3 games.. Look for more scoring despite booes from Fans (Anthony)
LAKERS "TEAM TOTAL" OVER (105) Game

SAT/Jan 22th (PARAPHRASED DATA)

•• While the Oklahoma City Thunder won't panic after suffering two straight losses, the New York Knicks are doing their best to remain positive during their latest losing stretch.

The Knicks hope to avoid matching a season high with their sixth consecutive loss by snapping a three-game road skid against the Thunder on Saturday night.

New York (22-20) ranks near the top of the NBA averaging 106.7 points, but has scored 96.3 and shot 40.0 percent the last three games. They shot 37.8 percent in Friday's 101-92 loss at San Antonio.

NEW YORK (+2.5) 1st QTR.
NEW YORK (+8) Game

•• A dominant home team, the Orlando Magic have been very ordinary on the road.
They'll look to avoid a fourth loss in five road games and win their fourth straight overall against the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.

Behind another impressive performance from Dwight Howard, Orlando (28-15) rolled past lowly Toronto 112-72 on Friday for its eighth straight home victory. Howard had 31 points and 19 rebounds despite spending the entire fourth quarter on the bench. He is averaging 27.4 points and 13.2 boards in his last five games.

Despite scoring 30 points on 11-of-11 shooting in Orlando's 110-92 win in Houston on Feb. 24, Howard is averaging only 14.2 points - his lowest mark against any opponent - in 13 games versus the Rockets, scoring more than 20 just twice.

Things, however, could turn out differently this time around against a Houston team which allowed a season-worst 72 points in the paint Friday in a 115-110 loss at Memphis.

ORLANDO (-3) Game

I AM LIKING THE PACERS IN PORTLAND.. uncertain thus far

[Ratzz]

as well i think i like the UNDER in the SPURS/HORNETS game...
but i do like to see at least a '9' or preferably a '2' in my UNDER picks..

and i am seeing a 185.5, so i guess i will hold off
