A rare pick thread

[aleiverson02]

Its days like this that I wish I A) Had the time and B) Live betting was offered for all or most of the NBA games. When Portland was down 15 I thought without question they would come back and win the game. Rockets are a shit team.

really? was working during the game and couldnt watch it, but thats a pretty bold prediction to be down 15 and come back to win, yaddidimean

[greenhippo]

I've seen way too many Rockets games over the years. Like clockwork, we get up double digits in the 1st half against a decent/good team and they lose the game. Exact same thing happened at Memphis already this year.

Up 8 points at home with 6 mins left against a powerhouse team like the Heat, that game was as good as lost. Different Rockets players, same end result.

[aleiverson02]

damn, contagious, especially with that rookie stirring up the chemistry with his stupid comments about his anxiety bull shit. take your cheese and play ball

[greenhippo]

I've got the under 189.5 in the Utah/Washington game and under 202 in the Heat/Suns matchup. I feel a lot less certain about these picks than anything over the last few days, will see what happens.

[greenhippo]

Just. Another. Winner.

[greenhippo]

Gentlemen, that is 14 straight wins. Amazing how winners get the least attention on here.

[The Giant]

I've been watching. Hell of a run, buddy.

Jerry Lawler and I have been tailing.

[greenhippo]

Lawler's text was hilarious, I'm sure he forwarded it to you as well.

Been on this forum for a lot longer than my sign up date and It has been like this since day one. An azzhole cant troll a winner, and I would say that applys to more than half this forum. You'll see the hate as soon as you lose two or three in a row.

right you are sir

Going for 16 straight tomorrow.

Nets -2.5: On the road, but are a much better team than the Kings. I think they win by at least 6

Under 202.5 Lakers/Rockets: I think Rockets continue their horrid play after getting up 15 against Blazers and losing the game. Lakers D holds Rockets to at best 90 points, add to that neither team scores over or gives up over 100 a game I see this being in the 192 range.

[greenhippo]

15 straight wins, and still a dead thread. Hilarious.

[greenhippo]

Well this is a crap first quarter for my under.

[aleiverson02]

dang man sorry, 15-1 is still impresive as shiiiiiiiiiit.. how much money you up then?

[easysaid]

I suggest the thread to be renamed..

[greenhippo]

I don't know how to change my thread title or I would. Up under $800. Didn't bet all of my picks and made a few in-game wagers that didn't pan out

[aleiverson02]

so your doing about $50a game?

[greenhippo]

Varies between 50-100. I should stick to 100, but when I get to the screen to push Submit I get wary and sometimes change my amount. I'm due to lose 3 or 4 straight

[aleiverson02]

Thats how I get man.. Nice job tho! Withdrawl a few hundred buy your self something nice. I've been super hot and scared to up my bet knowing I'll start losing.. http://forum.sbrforum.com/nba-basket...lly-mikey.html
Getting no respect. Its what ever but so have you, so we shuld share picks everyday talk about them so what looks good. BOL today ill let you know what i'm doing later gotta run to work

[greenhippo]

Nice work in that thread. Only thing I'm looking at today is the under in the Jazz/Rockets matchup.

[matt711]

First time seeing your thread, bol

[Holtgetsback]

under 202.5 lakers/rockets:
I see this being in the 192 range.

loser

youre burying the forum GREEN JIPPO

[easyliving]

[greenhippo]

loser

youre burying the forum GREEN JIPPO

I just buried myself.

[greenhippo]

Wonder why I shouldn't be betting on my home town teams. Texans don't cover, had under in back to back Rockets games and looks like they both sail over right now.

[greenhippo]

Back on the winning side my friends.

Third mothing fukking place baby.

[greenhippo]

Under 208.5 in the Lakers/Nets matchup. Not only do I think this goes under, I think it goes under 200. Looks like a classic great team against a solid new team and defense runs the game.

[lunchbawks]

These 2 teams play no defense, horrible benches.. life at the ft line

[greenhippo]

I'd argue Nets play better than decent D, holding opponents to under 93 a game. Lakers can defend when they want to and I think they will tonight to show the Nets they're the team to beat this year. I think 100 points wins it tonight. GL to everyone.

[greenhippo]

I'd strongly urge everyone to stay away from the ML on this one, Nets and the points would have been my only bet on the sides. Either team could win by 12 here.

[greenhippo]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy cover there guys. 100 points would have won the game.

[buzzer]

Nice call hippo

[greenhippo]

Going very small on the Under 194.5 Celtics/Spurs (was at 195.5 last night and I didn't pull the trigger) and the Under 204 in the Lakers/Kings matchup.

Lakers in the second of back to back, their defense was outstanding the entire second half against the Nets and the Kings aren't a powerhouse offensive team (lowest ppg in the West) I see 100 points winning this game like last night.

The average Spurs game goes to 193 points, average Celtics game is 195. Definition of a toss-up in this one so not getting the 195.5 hurts a little. I tend to side with the under when it's two older, yet still very good teams going at it. With Leonard and Jackson out for the Spurs I think they struggle more to score and up the tempo on their D to compensate.
