Thatsagoodone's NBA Monday

113-82 +58.30 units

I'm liking Lakers +4, Atlanta -7.5, New York -3.

There are a few lines that have me stumped. 

1.  I can't believe it when I saw Clippers -1 in Orlando.

2.  Memphis a pick at home against the Spurs.

3.  Oklahoma -1.5 in Portland. 

Are the Clippers getting that much respect from oddmakers?  Or is Orlando in worse shambles than I think?  The win over Indiana was smoke and mirrors of what his team really is.  Orlando typically a good home team, so something is wrong.

Memphis is a good home team, San Antonio struggles on the road.  Memphis is in a funk right now, nothing is clicking on offense.  Is Memphis in that much trouble?

Portland a dog at home?  Really?  Oklahoma City is a pretty good road team, but they are not a better road team than Portland is a home team.  Portland is so deep, that I would think that, Aldridge and one of the starting guards are injured.  What gives???

None of those games are circled so if there are any significant injuries I'd be shocked.  I might come back with plays on the Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, just because it doesn't make sense.

Lakers are a system play for me.

Clippers are playing good, Orlando not, is the only way I see it.  Unless Dwight got traded this morning. LOL  Still couldn't they have gotten away with making Orlando -1.5? 

Even tho Memphis got smacked around, the Spurs still aren't regarded as good road team.  I guess we could say the Spurs got some rest, while Memphis scheduling could be an issue.  Just a week ago these two played in Memphis and Memphis was -6.  I can't imagine that that game was so significant that the line was adjusted 6 points?  I could see if they came back with Memphis -3.5, that's reasonable.

Portland a dog a home is waaay out of line.  OKC was +3 in San Antonio and got rocked.  San Antonio and Portland are both dominating home teams, for the oddsmakers to put up OKC -1.5 is extremely fishy.  WTF

^ correction

Lakers +4 - 4 units

I agree.  I mean, if Clippers -1 is "begging" for Clippers $$, then what line would seem fair? Clippers -3 or -4? 

Since when have the Clippers been a 3/4 pt road favorite vs an above .500 team?

He said slow him down, not 'dominate' him.  So his credibility is still there.  Jordan does atleast pose as someone of relative size to Howard defensively.  His skills are nowhere near the same though.

I'm confused about the Orlando game so I'll probably avoid it. 

As you can see I already took Lakers (for twice my normal amount), so with that said I don't like Philly.  

Portland I would lean but I'm worried that they're getting points, that's odd. 

Toronto, both teams suck.  I don't feel comfortable only getting 4 with Toronto, but laying 4 with Washington is too much.

Atlanta, I like Atlanta, but their recent home struggles worry me.  Because I remember last year, when they hit a bump Atlanta seems to wobble out of control for a bit.  I'm not big on trying to figure out when they'll right the ship. 

Sacramento, I'm not into Saramento on the road catching only 2 points.  Granted New Orleans is 2-11 at home, Sacramento has the same record on the road.  Flip a coin.

Chicago, if I had any interest in that game it would be on Chicago.  Chicago is relentless for their desire to be the best team in the league.  What is NJ playing for?  They just got ripped apart by Jeremy Lin and the no defense playing Knicks.  What are they gonna do with Rose and that Chicago defense?
