A lot of "sharp" NBA lines today.
Was on the right side of both the side and total there fortunately.
5-2, +3.6U today with San Diego and the Celtics pending.
For some odd reason, I want to give Pitt a chance vs. Syracuse, but I think I'll pass.Comment -
I haven't written them off for the season, but in this particular matchup, how do they control the Thunder when they rely heavily on perimeter shooting and the Thunder's perimeter D is one of the best in the NBA? The Celtics can't rebound and the Thunder bigs outclass what Boston brings to the table. Rondo is the biggest mismatch in this game favouring the Celtics in his ability to play as a true PG, unlike Westbrook. However, the Thunder have greater overall speed and if Ibaka/Collison can play physical with Garnett/Bass, contesting the midrange shots, then the Celtics are going to have a hard time putting up points. If the Celtics do win, this game should go Under the total as well, I would think, as it should mean they are able to control tempo and limit the Thunder fastbreak.Comment -
C's backs are against the wall. They've heard all the talk about how they're finished; they've been left for dead. Danny Granger ripped them publicly after Saturday's game. I'm not saying Boston hasn't lost a step, but to get 3.5 on their home court in a nationally televised game on MLK Day is big -- even if it is against arguably the best team in basketball.
I think Boston plays with a lot of pride and heart tonight -- especially defensively. I see this game coming down to the wire, so I'll gladly take the points. We'll see what happens.Comment -
Where did u get that 3half for and 7 units?
Somebody is in full chase mode... U make Lang look goodComment -
The game you should have bet 7 units on was Memphis,This was obvious
Celtics play is nothing but a coin flip........Comment -
good luck coin, he dont understand thats a rec book and will give u a better line on big tv games if you fade the public side.

Remember this quote Pauly from early last week?
Yet by the weekend, you're saying the Green Bay game will be close....Originally posted by PAULYPOKERGreenbay wins this week in blowout fashion then it is revenge time for the saints next week after they squeak by the 9ers ............
It's hard to follow you sometimes.

I bet Memphis before the line dropped if that's what you're referring to. I had them at +5. Line dropped because Rose was out -- not because of RLM.
I'm not attacking you, but this is just like your bowl thread where you're posting plays after the games -- how is that "help"?Comment -

I have no money on this game. I'm just going to sit back and root on my Thunder. With that said, I don't feel like this game is really a trap at all. I think the line is about right. It could very well come down to one or two possessions. Getting a good number might be the difference in a win or loss here.
With that said, if you are on Boston, I wouldn't feel as great about it after looking at this board.
I'm not seeing any "OKC is free money" threads. I'm seeing, "OKC is a trap threads". If you're on the underdog, you want people poinst threads about how the other side is easy money. Every time I take a dog and the majority of this board likes it, the bet seems to lose.
GL tonight. Hopefully my Thunder win by 2 and you win your bet as well.Comment -
I'm kind of liking Baylor tonight + the points. This is another one of those where I see a lot of people taking Kansas and I'm sure I would be labeled a "square" for taking Baylor.
I realize Baylor is undefeated and the higher ranked team, KU is -6.5, KU has won 15 in a row at home, etc. but I see Baylor covering here.
I could see KU winning the game but not covering. On a neutral court Baylor is the better team but KU has a tremendous home court advantage.
I'll probably wait until halftime before making a decision. If KU covers 6.5 tonight, they will most likely come out firing, however, if the game is close at the half I may consider taking Baylor. In a game like this you can typically get a pretty good feel early.
To me, it's either a close game through out, or Kansas blows them out and will be up a decent amount at the half.Comment
