    Trap Alert

    At 6:30 5Dimes posted the overnights for the four NBA games Thursday.
    Celtics opened up +1 on the road in Miami. I thought it was strange, I thought Boston would be -3 or -4.
    At 10:00 20 minutes after they blew out Indy by 27 points, the Celtic were suddenly -2

    It's not like the old days, there's so much information out there.
    It pays to be a geek, I'm an I/T operations analyst by trade, I've always been fascinated by numbers and math.
    Shit, I was into analytics when it was considered nerdy and geeky.
    Now it's considered trendy.

    The MAAC conference is God awful.
    One of the worst in the nation.
    Two teams I'm extremely familiar with, my brothers alma mater is 4 and 10, and my home town university, Fairfield is having it's usual stellar season at 4 and 11.

    There are no teams in that conference with an overall record over .500
    Yeah, that kind of shitty.

    Three teams are 2-0 in league play, Rider, Iona, and Canisius.
    Rider is the best team in the conference.

    Especially Fairfield.

    Yeah, even though my beloved Stags are 4 and 11, the very easily could be 11 and 4.
    Count the losses by 3 points or less, it's astounding.

    I knew this game was a trap 24 hours ago.
    20 minutes before tip I made a tiny wager on Heat.
    Should have followed my instinct and wrote it up as a play.
    Oh well, quick pennies are better than lost dollars.

    Did same thing, bet size didn't match the feel for the play.

    Yeah, hit the Bucks last night.
    Like the C's tonight, the public was all over Houston.
    Bucks were favored in Houston for a reason last night, just have to look at both sides of the coin.
    Now watch the Spurs and Pistons to cover tonight.
    Pistons were awful last night, you can bet (pardon the pun) the public will fade Detroit.

    Long story short, Bucks are a better all around team.
    Houston is pretty much a two trick pony team, Harden and Capela.
    Bucks are much deeper, besides the Freak, Bledsoe is an underrated PG, Middleton gets pretty much no love even though he's a quality forward, Lopez is the best 3 point shooting center in the NBA.......

    And not to mention the Bucks are now 10-7 on the road in hostile arenas.
    Bucks will make a deep playoff run, Celtics are over hyped, and I don't think they fear Toronto.
