just food for thought as I was looking into two games i see everyone and i do mean everyone seems to be on the blazers.... the line opened at -4 for the blazers and news came out about fernandez and now the line becomes -3? money is literally pouring in on this team with ML parlays and more line parlays and yet the line moves down? WOW vegas hammered most people this weekend in the NFL and now they are just ready to give back some of it with the blazers? 
I know, lemme guess but the knicks are hot... they won 3 of 4 or something but these are the knicks. a LINE OF -3 for the blazers is completely a gimme...... maybe I am reading too much into it but i am forced to take the 
KNICKS +3.5 5 units
Knicks ml +145 for 2 units
Next who here thinks that GS warriors are 7 point underdogs at oklahoma? is anyone missing? is there any one i am missing? i saw on a website for betting that there is almost 90% WAGERS going in on the gsw....... line was +7 early this am and now all of a sudden its +7.5? saturday was a doggy dog day...... yesterday was a favs day.. i think vegas is trying to mess with our heads today... maybe im the loser for thinking too much
give me OKC -7.5 for 4 units
parlay OKC ML and knicks +5.5 (buying two) 2 units to win 2.5 
someone pleaes tell me i am crazy

Good points here. you have any word on the Denver Philadelphia game? I have them moneyline in a parlay and was wondering if this is still somewhat safe. Thanks also on the knicks

from what I been seeing the line is at 6 to 6.5....... now just ask your self this question on a monday when the WORLD knows that IVERSON is coming back and not only coming back but coming back to play against the team that let him go last season, isnt revenge a big factor? its so hard to read this game.... iverson upset and plays his head off and wins? iverson playing his head off and upsets denver would be a great story right? yet again all those teasers and ML plays on denver losing........... I just dont see that being the story.... i see iverson trying to do TOO Much tonight and chauncey being chauncey calm and cool and taking the big shots up 4 with about 40 seconds left hitting a 3 to put a dagger in philly and then yet again stupid philly fouling to finish the game eventually i really think to lose by about 10... how many points is iverson who hasnt played with brand? how about iverson playing again now with the OTHER AI? is iguodala upset about this? tooo many story lines in this game for it to be an easy call..... if push comes to shove id go with denver...

I say stay away from the 76ers-game. Tough call here. I personally think that Denver has what it takes to handle a mediocre Philly. Iverson is good, but what about the team and the flow of the game? I doubt it.

Denver plays tomorrow again but I think they will do what it takes to ruin AI´s "comeback"... Thats where my money is at

And going with "over" on GS-Oklahoma game... Also the over in Knicks vs Portland. Oden is out, that means more running and gunning for Portland... And the Knicks? Well.... they always runs

Brandon Roy (points+assists) over 29,5
Billups over 6,5 assists
David Lee (points+rebounds) over 29,5

The Blazers have lost their last five games ATS, so perhaps they shouldn't even be laying this much on the road against the surging Knicks.  At the same time, though, in their first game you might expect them to muster up an extra-focused effort to compensate for their fallen Center.  Normally, I'd be playing up this angle big time.  However, these Blazers are more than used to playing without Oden.  If anything, this is par for the course of the last couple of years. I can't imagine the Brandon Roy's and LaMarcus Aldridge's will be huddling up asking themselves how much more they can do to compensate for the big loss of Oden--mainly, because Oden isn't even close to their biggest star. 

These still are the Knicks, though.  They're playing on a back to back against a team that, on paper, should beat them.  I don't see why this is necessarily a good spot for the Knicks.  I'm not sure I can buy into the Knicks gaining momentum meme, either.  This one's a no play for me.  This is a Monday night NBA game.  The degenerate in me has to pass.

I swore off the NBA and have not watched a game this year so take this with a grain of salt or two.

Allen Iverson could not find a job because he has lost a step or two. The dude is old. For a guard that relies on quickness this is the death knell.

He will not burn Denver tonight because he cannot. He will infuriate the sixers with his too much shot taking and holding the ball.  The Nuggets are still bitter at the old man and will haunt him tonight and eat his lunch.

I would be this game with no info other than "practices " age.

I can see absolutley NO defence on the behalf of the Knicks, tired legs means no defence and the fuel they got left will be spent on offence if I know the Knicks right

I will not watch the NBA as the product sucks. That said, I would continue to fade Mr. Practice until the sixers have to cut him for his defensive liabilities and inability to score. He will not get much better. It may take the lay public 3-5 games to figure this out. This first game will be blamed on rust.

Dude is cancer. I would fade them but do not want to even look at the scores.
