    Like it or not, the points within heavily bolster the Knicks side and it is not fluff in OP. There really isn't a good argument to lay 10 with the Heat other than "they're hot." How do I know this? No one has one other than a single sentence in support of the Heat.

    And That is not a winning mentality. Therefore, the side you should be on is obvious.

    Best of luck, Scal. I'm ambivalent to this game, but you've got a hell of a ride going.. 

    Too far back. Melo wasn't even on those early teams. Worse, Lebron nor Bosh were on the Heat.

    They will get bombed from 3 as usual, but I see a cover with a truckload of points.

    I agree with what you said at some point that 1q or 1h bets are kinda sucker bets, cuz when you lose youll try and double down...but knicks have been covering 1h spreads wayy more than FG spreads.  do you think 5 is to low for a half cuz one simple run late in 2nd q and the heat will cover?

    2-3 superstars surrounded by 7-8 joes on a court. That's basketball.  doesn't matter if it's 1984 or 2014.

    keep banging, Scal.

    Gamblorman. please do not say Durant will overtake lebron. Lebron has been the greatest player in the NBA for a while. The only thing Durant is better at is shooting the 3.. Overall ? Lebron by a mile. Stronger. Faster. Bigger. He makes everyone better around him. Durant doesn't.

    I ain't gon lie (50-tyson quote), I usually scroll down to see your pick, but this time I actually took the time to read it. I'm not much of a reader, but you're great at write-ups and before you posted this I already had Knicks as a play. This just makes me feel more pleasant about my picks. Sure, no one is right all the time, but your record with the write-ups is outstanding and you bring entertainment here to the threads. Great job bud. Keep it up cause you're one of the reasons why I'm still here after 9 years.

    Knicks didn't have any stars in 2008-2009-2010 unless you want to count one good half year by Amare before Melo came. You can not find one bonafide 'star' on that roster before that.

    Anyhow, it is precisely the 'joes' that matter on opposing teams when it comes to the Knicks and I have a lost of them in the OP. The 'joes' matter for the Knicks tonight too. Melo always gets his points as the star. It's the supporting cast that decides the game.

    I don't play halves flor quarters. I have enough experience to know they simply feed the need to bet more and more and more. I don't even pay attention to them anymore.

    Look at my last Knicks post.

    Knicks trailed the Grizz by 13 at HT. Guys called the game in the thread.

    They covered by .5 and easily could have won outright.

    You can't gauge motivation or psychology for a half better than you can for a full game.

    just a trend i picked up on, if you wanna call it that.
