The purpose of this thread is that over the next 50 days I will be picking what I see as the best NBA selection and best CBB selection of each day .. making 100 plays over the next 50 days.

My goal for these 50 days is to hit at 60%.

This should finish right before March Madness which I typically do very well in.
Let's win some money.

gl pitt, what's your reasoning behind taking Miami cuz I was leaning the other way?

Cleveland has won 4 in a row, 6 of their past 7 and are the top ranked team in the entire NBA. Miami has won 2 in a row, 5 of their past 7 and ranked 5th in the eastern conference at 23-20.

LETDOWN GAME FOR CLEVELAND. I expect this to be a bit letdown game for Cleveland. Delonte West is out for Cleveland and Mo Williams will be out for his third straight game. They just played three straight at home, beating Toronto by 8 (who are awful on the road), come from behind win vs. the Lakers, to win by 3 and scoring at the end of the game to beat OK City by 1. The game before all that was on the road, when they beat the Clippers by 2. I mention these games because if you've been watching them you'd notice, Cleveland has scrounged for ways to beat opponents lately, while finding a way to finish on the winning side every time. They are due for a letdown vs. a good opponent on the road, and this team is Miami.

MIAMI, PLAYING GREAT UNDER THE RADAR. Today they go on the road to fight a hungry Miami team, who may be in the middle of the pack, very underrated, but the perfect team to knock off Cleveland. Miami's roster is Dwyane Wade, Jermaine O'Neal, Rafer Alston, Quentin Richardson and Michael Beasley (a player I loved in college, and who is having a great rookie year). This team is a very tight-knit group of players and feed off each other for emotion. Like I said they've been very hot as of late. They average as a team 97.5 points a game but have scored 109 or more points 5 times in their last seven games (three times scoring 115 points). In their last 7 games Cleveland has only scored 109 points once. Miami also hit 40+ FG's in a game five times in their past 7, while Cleveland has only once. Miami is working great as a team, making great passes and every player is dangerous when hot.

LINE MOVEMENT. Cleveland opened as -2 favourites. Automatically I knew the public would love them, and they would be a huge square play, but I looked at this game without judging. After reading everything I did and reflecting on their recent games that I have seen, and weighing in the injuries, I had a feeling the line would be bet down by the sharps so I got on it at +2. The public has been pounding Cleveland like expected but the sharps have pounded Miami to -1 in some places .. I like seeing this sort of stuff after the wagers already been placed.

SHAQUILLE VS. OLD TEAM. Shaquille will be up against his old team for the 2nd times in three games (vs. Lakers now Heat). With the injury problems Shaquille has been looked at as the second scorer, after Lebron, recently. Oklahoma City were all over him in their last game, fouling him what seemed every possession (knowing that he can't hit FT shots consistantly). Miami management knows Shaq, and I expect them to do the same thing against him as OK City did .. putting Jermaine O'Neal on him and sliding over a second defender when he get close to the net to make him shoot FT's rather than an easy close shot or dunk.

Of course there are many factors which favour Cleveland but I feel these factors outweigh any other, thus I love Miami to win this game.

when i was doing research early this morning and saw the injury report, and that tipped the scales for me.. they like to talk about how "deep they are" but I just dont buy it! HEAT BABAY

[pittviper]

St. Josephs dominated. Wade had a turnover, for Miami, at the end of the game to cost them the win .. but not the cover.

[CrimsonQueen]

Nice start I like your style.

Thanks guys .. another 2-0 night makes eight 2-0 nights the past 13 days. Feel free to send me SBR points if you feel like it haha

Day 14 (Tuesday):
NBA: Dallas +7.5
CBK: South Carolina +7

(bought half point from +6.5 -105, to +7 -115 .. Reason: 6 points is a two possession game, 7 points is a 3 possession game .. I see 7 as a key number (like 3 and 7 in NFL) as it can come in huge at the end of the game as far as fouling is concerned .. or not fouling because your're down 7 .. 7 is the "give up" number.)

My two cents

Hard to say anything about a guy picking at the percentage you are at and I will not say too much. I live in Tennessee and I keep up with the SEC. So here goes , South Carolina is a bad team . Kentucky is a great team. I love home teams in the conference and this makes this a real good contest for South Carolina. S.C. will try to muster up all the pride they can but they are still a bad team and of course this is a tough place for Kentucky to be with the #1 spot on the line every game they play. They may look ahead to the Vandy game,but I don't think so.No back door cover in this one ... KY goes up by 20 and the rest is history in a history making season .Also they had a easy time in the last game and they are rested up for this game and I give the nod to Kentucky by 10 pts or more .... just the way I see it.
