Why are Bucks -8.5 tonight?

[biggamer3]

and Bogut is a GTD.

doesnt make any sense to me, as Raptors looked real good yesterday with Bargnani in starting lineup

[Cloak & Dagger]

they beat the Spurs in San Antonio...

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Raptors played yesterday, plus no O'neal or Calderon

last 2 road games lost
@ golden State by 6
@ Portland by 13

[LT Profits]

Raps playing with no rest with short bench

[curious]

Bucks are 8-3 ATS last 11.

Toronto is 3-8 last 11.

That could be it.

Although Toronto looked very good last 2 games.

A team with injuries to key players can play well for a game or two on emotion alone as the backups want to prove themselves, but tbey generally return to their normal level, and playing with no rest in this situation is an added detriment.

[unit1884]

I like the Raps to win straight up.

[jjgold]

I guess because Bucks playing better of late and home

Tor is not that good on away courts

[THEGREAT30]

+330 for the Raptors will look good for a lot of people just not me. Calderon is more important to his team than Bogut. Milwaukee can move Gadzuric to 5 and start Villanueva.

[Fiasco]

Raptors 1h and bucks for the game (only playing raptors 1h though as I expect to get a better line for the game...)

emotion will carry over before running out due to being tired...

[biggamer3]

ML bet of me

[fiveteamer]

This line seems totally f'ked. It is circled at Pinny, anybody know what is going on???

[trytrytry]

line has gone up quite a biut on this one..lots of love for MILW tonight.

[fiveteamer]

Maybe because I'm a sqaure, and a Raptors fan, but I'm going to play the Raps.

[fiveteamer]

Think Calderon and O'Neal are out.
Uros Slokar blows, no chance. Passing.

[Fiasco]

Toronto:
After 3 consecutive home games (this season) 0-3 (last 3) 3-11
8-11 as a dog
4-6 vs team with losing record
TORONTO is 6-2 against the spread versus MILWAUKEE over the last 3 seasons
TORONTO is 6-2 straight up against MILWAUKEE over the last 3 seasons
7 of 8 games in this series have gone UNDER THE TOTAL over the last 3 seasons

Bucks:
8-2 as a favorite
1-0 as home fav 6.5-9 pts
10-4 in home games
10-3 when playing teams with a losing record
6-2 vs teams allowing 99+ pts a game


Bucks have been money this year against the spread, the raptors are banged up and playing a back to back

[fiveteamer]

I mean Roko Ukic, he sucks.

[Tsoprano]

Raptors, Spurs and Texas for me!

[Tsoprano]

Lookin good early.

[unit1884]

All those trends are useless

[biggamer3]

Bucks went on a 7-0 in last minute before half to make it a 3 points game.

Still like the Raps to win

[Fiasco]

All those trends are useless

maybe Following Blindly...

They help show a teams thoughts though and I guarantee people that use them right have success...

Some think stats are useless and only use intuition...

[biggamer3]

Raps go on a 12-0 run to take an 11 point lead in 3rd quarter

[fiveteamer]

Time for Raps to fold like a $49 suit in the 4Q like they always do.

[Tsoprano]

Raps down 3 going into the 4th.

Here's to a strong 12 minutes of Raptors basketball:

What do you do when you have trends that contradict each other?

Like tonight, one trend said Toronto, other trend said Milwaukee. The second trend was "who's hot/who's cold", I like that one better. So, I took Milwaukee money line.

I either lay off or go with the strongest trends

Tonight I had Toronto 1h and the bucks 2nd

Thought Toronto would come out strong before fading late

By playing it this way I got it at -3.5 for the game

I use stats first and trends to back up my stats and then my personal beliefs last

I've been following your plays, we should discuss picks/leans if you have time. I start a thread every day with my picks/leans.

I'll check your thread out and post up what I have going if I see you around.

[Tsoprano]

Raptors =

[biggamer3]

Unfreaking real!

Bucks covered the spread on bullshit.

Raps were up 97-94 with a minute and change and lose 107-97?!

Unreal, worst lose ever

[curious]

Wow, what a turn around. 13 points unanswered in 1 minute and change?

I was on Bucks moneyline but I was sure you Toronto cats would cover.

Geesh.

[diogee]

Wow that shit is straight up brutal. I really liked Tor in this one but went with the 1h. Took Mil 2h as I thought Tor would fade...lucky win on the 2h.

[unit1884]

This is probably one of the biggest screwjobs in the NBA this year... Not just the last minute, but the fact that the Raps were leading for the majority of the game...

I had Raps -5.5, so I didnt care either way, but +8.5 backers might want to kill someone right now.

[Cloak & Dagger]

Time for Raps to fold like a $49 suit in the 4Q like they always do.

[Kaps]

...that rates up there with one of the worst defeats ive ever gone thru in my life
i went downstairs to fix something to eat and come up and cant believe my eyes



and i picked off my local getting +9.5
