As for the Mavericks/Knicks game, I ended up taking New York.

We know Dallas is the better team but I have a feeling this will be one of those BS NBA games, LIN will get all the calls, and New York will somehow pull it out.

Probably.

Don't like where the line went late -- that's for sure.

I see that -- my bad.

Purdue/MSU over 70 2H (1U) -- really thought I was solid on that live under 138, but this one's not going under.

Edmonton Oilers +0.5 (-119) (1U)
Edmonton Oilers (+133) (1U)

When you've got the last guy on the Knicks bench scoring 14 points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter to kill your 4U under that was looking great at half, you know you've got problems.

Good luck here Canuck. You're flying solo now.

Going-away present for everyone to fade:

I think I would do better with the NBA if I just went with the team that I felt like the league wanted to win.

Stern has to love all of the media hype the Knicks and Lin are getting right now.

This is a tricky one.

Miami can score over 60 in a half and Orland can get hot from downtown.

The worst possible thing for this under would be if Miami jumps out to a big league. Then you'll see a game in which Miami quits playing defense and it will be up and down the court.

Funny how that loose ball foul call changed the whole game.

If I hit that, I might put 20U on the Suns.

I'm anger betting right now.

It might not be a bad idea to hedge at halftime and go with Phoenix.

I've made some bad decisions on tilt when really, you just need to wait for a enter spot.

No coin how do you feel about your pistons today?

Not that great since they won SU in Boston recently.

With that being said, I'm not laying 5 on the road with a very average Celtics team against anyone outside of Charlotte.

BigDofBA · 02-19-12, 05:00 PM

Shouldn't Boston win today by about 10? The Pistons are coming off an exciting come from behind victory, which screwed me over, and they beat Boston last time out.

I'm kind of expecting a let down from Detroit and Boston should be ready to play. Also, the Pistons still stink.

No Coin, I would say your under is about wrapped up but I've been in similar situations and then there are about 70 points scored in the third quarter.

That being said, I think you have this one.

Celts ain't beating anyone by double digits. Have you seen them play? Line just dropped to -4.5, looks like books are trying to get people to jump on BOS. I really like Detroit here. Boston is like the Lakers, their lines are always over inflated because they know the public will jump on them regardless of the line. Boston has no business being 5 point favorites on the road.

Well then why are you asking for opinion? Load up on the Pistons.

And do you really think Boston lines are still inflated? It seems like most people think they are an old and washed up team.

Sorry man wasn't trying to offend you or anything. You made some good points. And yes, I still do think their lines are a bit inflated. They were 9.5 favs the other night to Detroit. Take the name and city off their jersey, and they are a very sub-par team.

grizzlies1 · 02-19-12, 05:58 PM

Nice hit on the 10u under coin. We've had a few decent debates in my time on here. You seem an honest straight up guy so sucks to see you down 50u. I pounded Mich St today, just like I pounded LSU -1.5 against Bama last week and Celtics ML against Bulls last Sunday. I don't buy the best player out theory. In my experience if a team loses one or more of their best players they are a worse team. Seems to be working so far.

Perhaps betting on rage is they way forward for you? GL if you do go 20u on the Suns.

I'm not offended at all. I like these discussion. Thanks for presenting some different points of view.

jihadvillager · 02-19-12, 08:16 PM

how much you end up putting on Suns NC?

No coincidences · 02-19-12, 08:21 PM

And of course right on cue it's already 19-12 Phoenix. Every time I lay off a game I want to go big on, it goes exactly as I had planned....
