Finally, basketball is back. For the past couple years it has been my most profitable sport, and I'm ready for more. I still have my betting trends chart that I might start up again if anyone cares enough to see it. It seemed to work wonderfully last year, but then just got too difficult to maintain. No future bets for me...just focusing on the individual games. I'm also going to throw in some ML bets this season to mix it up. I know they are high risk, low reward bets...but if I can hit them at 75% and make a profit...I don't care. My overall goal for the year is 62.5%...best of luck to everyone....and GO CELTICS.
Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics UNDER 189.5 (-110)
The Celtics are perennially one of the best defensive teams in the league and the Heat are debuting a new lineup or something...haven't really heard much about it. There is no doubt in my mind that it will take them a while to get used to playing a full speed game together. Should be a fantastic start to the season, and more than likely a lower scoring affair.
Los Angeles Lakers ML (-300)
Home opener for the defending champions on national television? I feel pretty darn safe with this bet.

Not worried about the possibility of Wade and LeBron getting to the line a ton tonight, CM? I could see them getting 30 FTs combined tonight, makes me worry about the UNDER

You didn't take the C's at 10-1 to win it all? I just did 25 on them. I have a C's +2 -120 bet that I think i might by back. Seems silly to bet on or against a team that you have no idea how they are going to play.Unique situation. I have a hard time believing anyone can cap this game with any kind of conviction. But, I am going to just spit out thoughts cuz I am bored at work..
Total opinion: I can make a case for both sides. C's 2nd unit can score. I'm sure Spoelstra will leave either Wade or Lebron on the floor at all times ( is Wade 100%). But, that 2nd unit has the fire power to destroy their 2nd unit.I think Baby, Nate and Marquis will be huge, imo. The C's second unit looks like high energy, push the ball and score. Not the usual tread water second unit.Once Delonte gets back, that is one sick unit.Looking forward to the Baby vs Haslem matchup. You would think things will be a bit choppy on O and D tonight. Huge game, tons of adrenaline, slow shooting start? Plus, besides House ( miss him) Miller ( hurt) they don't seem to have a ton of 3 shooters. Shaq and Rondo shooting 20 free throws at 40 %. Don't forget Ray will turn the ball over 15 times tonight as usual. So, is Rondo going to take D-Wade or is Ray? Obviously PP-Lebron Both Both teams are going to break 95 points to push this game over? What makes more sense? 100-95 final or 93-90 final. To break a 100 points wouldn't a team need to shoot like 50 %. Don't see that happening.Futhermore, cut off 10 points for Shaq/Ronnd TF misses. My only concern is Lebron and Wade will shoot 40 free throws between them. How does Bosh fit in? No one talks about that dynamic.He's no Gasol. Will he be the cleanup guy and board master like Odom? I don't recall him being a defensive stopper. That Toronto team was the worst defensively. Are they going to run Iso plays for him? How many? 4? i figure 10-14 or him, 25 a piece for Wade and Lebron, them where else does the scoring come from? I think you have the right side of the total.

Not really. If the game was in Miami...then yes. But Wade won't be going full speed tonight like usual with the sore hamstring. He probably doesn't want to tear the hammy in the first game of the season and be out for 3 months.
LeBron won't be going to the line as much this year because for once he has legitimate help in Wade and Bosh. He won't have to drive to the hoop and force the refs to blow the whistle like they usually did while he was in Cleveland.
