1-1 yesterday. Let's break out of this slump with these 3 plays today:

Miami Heat 1st Quarter -3 vs Detroit Pistons
Milwaukee Bucks 1st Quarter -2 vs Charlotte Bobcats
New York Knicks 1st Quarter -1½ vs Toronto Raptors

overall record 16-13

[soul786]

Like the first two but Knicks and Raps is a toss up

[PR9]

Charlotte has been absolutely dreadful in 1st quarters this season and it will be interesting to see how the Bucks respond after last night.

I would also play Lakers 1st Q with Portland being another dreadful 1st Quarter team and on a road b2b, playing a team they don't match up well against.

BOL

ps- Utah is something like 37-10 ATS in 1st halves .. covered the last few in a row as well. They're a 1st half covering machine this season.

Not even close, where did you get that from?

They're a 1st half covering machine this season.

Season? No.

Last 20 games? Definitely

I like using www.thespread.com you can look up injuries, matchups, etc

[leo2302]

Horrible showing on Friday. Let's get one back today!

Milwaukee Bucks 1st Quarter -2 <small>vs</small> Washington Wizards

overall record 23-19

[leo2302]

hope some of you tagged along!

overall record 24-19

[leo2302]

forgot to post yesterday, but had San Antonio (which won). Won't count it on the overall record though to keep it fair.

Tonight's plays:

Indiana Pacers 1st Quarter -1½ vs Washington Wizards
Atlanta Hawks 1st Quarter -4 vs Charlotte Bobcats

overall record 24-19

[leo2302]

tough loss yesterday by the Hawks. T-Mac even made the winning 3 pointer at the end of the 1st Q to carry us to a win, but it was a split second too late. Oh well, 1-1 day.

Only one play tonight:

Los Angeles Clippers 1st Quarter -½ <small>vs</small> Sacramento Kings

overall record 25-20

[leo2302]

Easy win yesterday. Getting down towards the end of the season... Thinking about calling it as teams are starting to rest players. Only one play I kinda' like today:

Milwaukee Bucks* -4 vs Charlotte Bobcats for 1st Quarter

Haven't decided if I'm playing it yet and will wait until closer to game time to make my decision.

overall record 26-20

[leo2302]

Didn't end up pulling the trigger on Milwaukee last week (which lost), but did ended up playing the 2nd half (which won). One play I REALLY like today:

Los Angeles Lakers* -1 vs New Orleans Hornets for 1st Quarter

with or without Kobe, LA needs this win and I think they come out hot out of the gates. Good luck everyone!

overall record 26-20

[Chozzdogg]

What's your take on pacers -3.5 1q vs toronto? Besides pacers being a solid home team and the raptors being the raptors, they have a days rest while raps play another consecutive road game, and bargnani is in doubt

[leo2302]

Sorry Chozz, didn't check the forum until late last night, but looks like you cashed with the Pacers.

Only one play today after the WIN yesterday:

Orlando Magic 1st Quarter -1½ <small>vs</small> Washington Wizards

Howard is doubtful, but they seem to not miss him at all yesterday, so I'm going ahead and pulling the trigger on this one.

overall record 27-20

I'm liking knicks 1q and 1h, last time they had a 21 point lead

[leo2302]

Don't really like either of those bets personally. I think the Bulls are a different team at home. With or without Rose, they are out for blood. Good luck if you play them, but actually have the Bulls 1H

[leo2302]

Another easy cover with Orlando! Nice little streak we got going. Of course, I probably just jinxed myself. Two plays today:

Philadelphia 76ers* -1 vs Toronto Raptors for 1st Quarter
Indiana Pacers* -2½ vs Cleveland Cavaliers for 1st Quarter

overall record 28-20

[leo2302]

Split yesterday. Two plays today:
Dallas Mavericks 1st Quarter -2 vs Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Clippers 1st Quarter -2 vs Minnesota Timberwolves

overall record 29-21

[H1Cypher]

What book had Clippers -2 in the 1s quarter at 4 pm central time?

[leo2302]

What book had Clippers -2 in the 1s quarter at 4 pm central time?

It looks like it was at -2.5 at that time, which still covered. I had played it in the morning, but didn't get to post until later in the afternoon. Covered regardless though, even at -2.5.

Another 1-1 day though... let's break the cycle with these 3 plays today:

Boston Celtics 1st Quarter -2 vs Toronto Raptors
Miami Heat 1st Quarter -5 vs Charlotte Bobcats
Utah Jazz 1st Quarter -1½ vs New Orleans Hornets

overall record 29-21

[blanco]
