7-2 it looks like I’m staying hot! That would be 8-1 if Westbrook wasn’t playing like a drunken blind man. Shooting 3-16 is just unacceptable, if he would have just made 2 more shots we would have been in the money. We did get very lucky with our under bet on the Suns/Kings game however. The Kings had to choke really hard in order to beat that spread, and thankfully they did. The Lakers performed just as I expected and Howard getting injured made it even better.
I really need to think before I make a last minute bet like I did on Kemba again. When I am not confident enough to make it an official bet for my followers I shouldn’t waste my money on it either. It was a fine bet, but I just hadn’t really done enough research on it.
On to Thursday’s pick!
Celtics (Home) +1 - Knicks (Away) -1
My Pick: Knicks -1
This looks like a gift to me. The Celtics are a -.500 team on a 4 game losing streak coming up against the 2nd best team in the east. The reason this spread is so close is because the Celtics are at home, and the Knicks have been on a bit of a skid as well. The difference between the two team’s skids is that the Knicks have actually been playing fine. Carmelo isn’t shooting quite as well as he was in the beginning of the season, but he is still playing ten times better than anyone on the Celtics. The Knicks lost to Boston a few weeks back, and you better believe that game has been on their mind. They will come out serious about winning, and should blow out this down and out Boston team by 10+.
I may end up betting on this Phoenix team at +7, but I want to do a little more research before I put money on this. They played excellent last night though.
Best of Luck!
