NBA DEBACLE 2013 2012 - 56%

I stay clear of preseason - never know what scrubs are going to go off

Preseason = roulette wheel.

Indiana -2. 1 unit.  Pacers struggled and won by 10.  This is a team that is supposed to challenge Miami for the Eastern Conference.  Back to back game but they've still got fresh legs.  Pelicans line-up is meh at best IMHO.

Celtics +8.5. 1 unit.  They played this game in the pre-season and lost by two.  Not necessarily a true predictor but they matched up well.  Lets see how Brad Stevens handles the pros.

Atlanta  +5.5. 1 unit.  Just plain and simply like this Hawks team in this spot.  Horford and Milsap are beast on the glass, Teague and Carroll efficient.  Versus aging Dirk and no defense Monta Ellis, I might even ML tomorrow if it creeps up.

3-1 first two days for +2.9 units.  Solid start.

Golden State +7.  1 unit.

Hawks -2.5. 1 unit.  Toronto has no Monta Ellis to put the game away like Dallas did.

1-3 last few days for -2.3, 4-4 for +.6 overall.

Grind, grind, grind...

Pacers PK.  1 unit.  I still love these guys despite the near collapse in New Orleans.  They match-up well versus Detroits bigs and they are well rested.

2-0 today! (Im going to assume Dallas, now up by 30 hangs on to cover)

Philly +2.5.  2 units.  Huh?  Someone tell me what Im not seeing.  76ers just beat Washington in DC by 7.  76ers rested.  GS Warriors had all their shots falling so thats the only thing I can think of here of why they are getting points.  I'll take it.

I know they could torch each other but I think that both teams keep the scoring down with some effort on defense.  The last 8 times they have played, they have failed to reach 210 and Im hoping both teams believe they have improved their defenses.

Pelicans are barf bad and played yesterday in AZ.  Now they go to a rested Memphis who is better than their record appears.  Just worried about some backdoor BS on this one...Memphis hasnt throttled a team yet.

Sent you a friend request so that we can PM each other.

Adding Pacers -2.  1 unit.  Chicago is 0-3 on the road.  Pacers are on a back to back but at home.  Didnt have to travel too far from Detroit to get there.  I think the Pacers bigs can handle the job and Boozers defense is lacking.  Rose has been meh on his return.  They'll be fighting but I think the Pacers can close it out in what is essentially a pick-em.

Clippers under 210.  How is this line so high?  This seems high for a game that will most likely result in the Clippers destroying them in the first half then cruising until the clock runs out so they can return to their hotels and get some DC ho on.  Still Clips are scoring...alot.

Clips -3.5 1st half.  1 unit.  Cant say the above then not put my money where my mouth is.

NO/Memphis under 189.5.  1 unit.  Was considering at 187.5.  Line just moved two the wrong way.  Uh-oh.  All their past contests have been bang out slugfests so not sure if Jrue Holiday (who I think is overrated) makes the line move or what but I'll stick with my gut.

Too much action for one day.  I play what I like but this could be ugly....augh....

Take Philly -1 2nd half.  1 unit.  They still look good.  Wiz cant drain 80% 3s second half right?

Amazingly, I salvaged a 4-5 for -1.6 unit day.

That puts my overall at 10-9 for +2 units.

Ugh, too much action on BS.  No more half times bets and half time full time bets.  Thats twice Ive been burned.  Had I cuts that out, I could have been 5-4 for +  units on a meh day.
