Knicks played well last night

$hungry · 01-28-12, 01:48 PM

the knicks shot 43 3 pointers last night!!! if it werent for them actually hitting a decent amount of them they would have got blown out! and they still lost by ten. they shot 35% from the field, i guess that is well for the knicks! the knicks are just a BAD team, im on houston.

i am on the knicks also

The Kraken · 01-28-12, 02:13 PM

knicks were lucky to be in the game last night. Billy Walker goes off like he's Tebow or something. Knicks played pretty poorly last night. So naturally, Knicks ml is the play tonight

$hungry · 01-28-12, 02:21 PM

knicks play poorly every night lol, or have you not noticed they've lost 8 of the last 9, 5 of which by double digits. stay far away from that team!

Houston streamrolling washington by 30 last night. Awful knicks come into town and houston lays 6.5? I don't think so.

Houston won't cover here. Knicks +6.5. Classic trap line.

Books did not know last night's outcomes when this line came out, so your premise is faulty. I bet Hous -6.5 two hours before Hous/Wash tipped off.

Offering negative juice points bet for people who thin houston covers this tonight: http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...n-7-100-a.html

KingJD31 · 01-28-12, 03:45 PM

tough matchup for stat against scola Im still not sure bout this one

thebestthereis · 01-28-12, 05:07 PM

Houston is always a huge public play since 98.7% of the people that place a wager on them cannot name one player on the team.

Speedy88 · 01-28-12, 05:10 PM

this is one of the few times where the public isn't all over the Knicks. This may be a good time to back them haha.

TobiasFunke · 01-28-12, 05:14 PM

Im liking the OVER in this one.

Speedy88 · 01-28-12, 05:19 PM

Any news on whether Martin is playing?

not really. walker played well.

Jaug · 01-28-12, 06:00 PM

Going knicks big here. More and more convinced about it.

The Special One · 01-28-12, 06:06 PM

i like KNicks, GL

TheSituation559 · 01-28-12, 06:09 PM

I'm leaning towards HOU. They are very underrated. If Kevin Martin plays I don't see how Houston won't cover this. The last couple of years INCLUDING last year HOU has owned the Knicks. The Knicks lost at HOME by 8 last year to the rockets and by 15 at HOU. The Knicks had a better, more complete roster in those games than they do now. Knicks struggle in HOU. I'm leaning Hou -7.5 here...

I wish i grabbed HOU earlier. Line just got pulled off the board right when news of Martin playing came out. My guess is it jumps up a point.

betme · 01-28-12, 06:28 PM

Anthony and Martin is out

SiMON2g · 01-28-12, 06:28 PM

Stay away game.

i'm hearing martin is in, atleast that is what rotoworld is reporting.

Speedy88 · 01-28-12, 06:34 PM

rotoworld says he's playing, but this report says he is not:

Agreeing with Simon2g here, stay away game.

Yeah and if the Heat hadn't off hit their shots they would have gotten blown out too...

BigDofBA · 01-28-12, 06:56 PM

Not a trap line at all. The books just want to get even action on both side. People that think this is a "trap" will automatically take New York.

I'm sure the books are fine with that.

I don't see an edge either way. Are you guys taking New York just because you think the line is a trap? I don't think that's a good enough reason but whatever.

Jaug · 01-28-12, 07:00 PM

When books want equal action from public they put the line as expected. When they throw -6.5 out there they know lots of people will jump on houston, this MU shouldnt even be close. That's why knicks is the play.
