Knicks laying 5.5 in toronto is a joke... and other plays

BOL with Wolves. Just hard to back them against a team like OKC without Pekovic. He does so much for them with key rebounds, offensive rebounds and how he works off the glass, for their rotation D (the little D they had), put backs, and how Love works so well with him in there.

I'm laying off the game but BOL I hope you hit it

raps lose by 16

Agreed, I want to take the Raps so bad, but I told myself I wouldn't bet against the Knicks until they are done with this "Post-D'Antoni High."

The only team the Knicks should be laying 5.5 points to on the road is the Bobcats. Raps are a solid team at home, and despite giving up that game against CHI, they've been solid as hell at home. I think I'm going to take a stab at Raps +6.

Good luck wiz. I'm with you on the Suns and Raps, not so sure about MIN though. They are just horrible w/o Rubio, Pek, and Beasley. I was actually leaning the other way, but the spread may be too big for me to take.

I'm with the others, laying off the Knicks until they lose. I have a slight lean towards the Suns tonight but think I like the under better. Good luck with your plays.
BTW, long time lurker here who finally decided to register. On a nice little run so far this week, hoping to keep it going tonight. Went 4-0 last night in NBA games (Celtics +3.5, Celtics/Bucks under, Rockets-9, Sac/Utah under). Didn't do so hot in NCAA games tho, lol.

They actually have a better road record than their home record. But that game against Chicago was B2B and we know how sucky raptors can get on a B2B situation. Even that chicago game, they were fine till the last 8 mins of the game. So yes, I like the raptors tonight. But hopefully knicks will slow down. they have been on fire.

They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games, and both of those include that BS game against CHI in which they should have covered. Rock solid at home the past month.

This will not be an easy game for the Knicks. It has letdown written all over it.

Thanks buddy. This is the best forum to get advice from, don't know why it took me over 2 years to register lol
I'll probably stay away from this game but I'm slightly leaning towards the Celtics. They've been playing some good ball lately while Philly has cooled off recently. Plus Philly smoked them a couple weeks ago, thinking the Celts may get fired up for this one and keep it close. Both have great defense so it will be a low scoring game, 6.5 might be giving Philly too much here.

Raptors +5 -102 (2.5x); ML +190 (1x)

Suns +3.5 -103 (2x)

I can't lay such a big number with them tonight against Boston.

Timberwolves +10 -105 (2.5x)

Sure does, nice pick.

spippen · 03-23-12, 08:26 PM

This type of game for the Knicks usually caries into the next few+ games. Pointing fingers and some players not giving much effort for some games after a performance (or lack of) like this is almost as automatic as automatic gets.

t-wizzle · 03-23-12, 08:54 PM

Another winning thread no big deal

Speedy88 · 03-23-12, 09:04 PM
