Nice write up man, but the difference on the B2B for me is that MEM has been living in hotels on this b2b while TOR gets to go home for the most part. A roady on a B2B against the best team ATS on B2B. Looking tough man, I like that OVER though. Rudy G will explode on MEM, and IMO Tor got the better road win. DET is just awful while with Beal and Wall WAS has been a formidable opponent. Be wary of TOR. GL man!
i disagree with the hotel logic. but i do agree with be weary of toronto. rudy happy revenge factor, similar to tayshon's revenge factor last night in detroit.

Tough to see the Hornets being able to compete with the faster paced, guard orientated Cavaliers without Eric Gordon in their lineup. Even last night he was able to put up 20 points with an injured knee. Cavaliers have lost three straight home games against the Western Conference, and this is a rare opportunity for a nationally televised game where they can get a big win. They also have to fly out for a three game road trip after this game...so I would tend to lean on the fact that Kyrie Irving and his boys will be ultra-focused for this game. Spread seemed to be set right about where it should be, and I would expect it to continue to rise as the public will pound the Cavs. As far as the total is concerned, it's tough to tell with the key injury for the Hornets. I like the Cavaliers to get over the 100 mark just barely, but it's just way too difficult to tell what the Hornets will be able to put up. Will they have the 111 or 105 on the road like against the Hawks and Pistons? Or will it be the 86 or 89 point performance on the road that they gave against the Raptors and Wolves?
Prediction: Cavaliers 102 Hornets 91
Cavaliers -2.5 (1.1 to win 1)
since gordan's been back, i think the hornets have a better record without him. i've been burned by the gordanless hornets. good luck, mr Johnson!!!

Called last night's game against the Nuggets perfectly by saying that the spread was just a BIT TOO HIGH. Well, the Celtics covered by a points. Tonight is the qualifying "what the funk?" game of the night. Do I see the Lakers winning this game? Yes I do. These teams routinely alternate wins during the regular season...both SU and ATS. The Celtics aren't as terrible this season as they have been in the past on B2B games...5-6 ATS. The Celtics do very well this season against teams that give up 100+ points and they do very well against teams with a losing record. The Lakers on the other hand are 7-14 ATS against the Eastern Conference, 12-17 ATS against teams with a winning record. The referees in this game are not very home friendly either...and what this game really comes down to is that I don't see the first matchup repeating itself where it is a blowout type of game. I see the Lakers pounding the ball down low to Dwight Howard a lot more...the media pressure is high to do such a thing. If that happens, it slows down the game, limits the rebounding potential (a Laker advantage), and keeps the game closer.
Prediction: Lakers 97 Celtics 94
Boston Celtics +7 (2.2 to win 2)
totallyagree. best play on the board. wish it was my only play. i'm against you with indiana (solid at home). i wished i'd laid off that one. glta.

What about the Jerry Buss moment here? There were two let`s say similar situations in NBA this season: hurican in NYC (Miami lost by 20 vs Knicks) and McHale`s daughter death (Rockets blown away Raps by 17). I expect Lakers top motivated as they want to win this for dr. Buss vs their biggest rivals!

im sick of reading your nonsense angles and lettting it sway me from my own picks
and i know "dont read it then and blah blah blah" but cmon how can you do these write up's every damn morning after getting blown out the night before.
and your reasoning for the picks that DO hit isnt even why the teams win...its sheer luck and your reasoning is horse garbage
Your picks are crap
time to take a break and rethink your approach
