THOUGHTS ON TONIGHT NBA!

I THINK WE WILL SEE SOME DEFENSE TONIGHT - LOVE THE UNDER AT 191......................

AND OF COURSE MIAMI TO WIN M/L AND SPREAD

THANKS IN ADVANCE


mjm..... i think the spurs go back to what worked last game in san antonio.....push, push, push...attack miami's defense before they can get set... i lean to the over and while i feel miami wins the game taking 7 pts looks tempting...also....i dont know what the prop will be on lebron's pts scored will be....but i will take OVER whatever it is...i saw a stat on his average in elimination games, and i think it was well over 30 pts...

Hey guys, was strong against last night;  won 4 days in row.  For the early eve games, two stick out....

1st 5 Cinc -1/2 -130 MEDIUM.  Reds Latos struggled his last start, but still has not recorded a loss since way back in last season.  Reds hitting is far superior and Pirates Morton easily could get pounded.

Det TT Over 4.5 -130 MEDIUM.  Tigers can hit, nice wind blowing out, and O's Britton another pitcher who belongs in the minors.  Prefer this to the FG Over because not sure which Verlander will show up.

I had a win today already;  played 1st 5 TB/Bos Under 5.5.  Should've posted the damn thing, but I was busy in work and usually my Sox totals lose when posted.

Looks like we have similar plays in the Cinc and Det games so I don't expect us to lose there.  GL

The line opened at Miami -7 which looks very very reasonable and correct.....the whole world is expecting Miami win G6 at home....

live bet for me.

precisely why i'm betting the -10.5 +180
pop is a realist and if it comes to the point where heat are up double digits in the 4th quarter and outcome looking grimm, pop will pull the starters.

Some more....

1st 5 Oak +160 MEDIUM.  Surprised this line is so high and have to take A's to bounce back after burning last night's BIG.  A's Parker is respectable and just because Rangers hit last night doesn't mean they're back in form.  Darvish still pitching great but A's did beat him less than a month ago.

1st 5 StL -1/2 -140 MEDIUM.  Little high for a RL but Cards Wainwright continues to cook and Cubs Sam... has been fading fast.  And obviously Cards have much better offense.

1st 5 under 4.5 -125 Mil/Hou MEDIUM.  Astro have been hitting well but not against rightys.  And their pitcher Lyles is pretty good; Brewers hitters should struggle too.

Hit my Bos FG U10 woo hoo, too bad the Phi game is delayed. I teased the Spurs and the underpants. Any good winners in tonight's late game? I took Sea +170 F5 because that's way too much value with gas can Blanton on the opposite side.

Expert? I've certainly been called a lot worse than that   As for the Spurs/Heat game, too much uncertainty for me to make a 1H or FG play.  Need to first see who imposes their will and then make an in-game or 2H play.

GL baby, but i dont like it...lyles has a 5.0 ERA at home...hes been very good his last 3 starts, all on the road....he struggles at home and in one career start against the astros figaro got lit up last season while pitching for the tigers in 6 innings, gave up 10 hits and 7 earned runs...

For NBA, been reading a lot and formed some opinions from other games.  I'm showing Heat -6.5, so here's another silly tease....

5 point tease Mia -1.5 and Over 187 MEDIUM.  I really would be happy if the Heat got smoked, but don't think they're blow this one at home.  Plus the zig-zag has been successful.  As for the total, I see no reason to go under;  people have been chasing it and it keeps losing, so I'll stick with Over rather than trying to buck the trend.

Again, this is a silly bet that I don't expect to win, but with the way rhe NBA figures I have just as good a chance as anybody.

Sure, his last three starts on the road were very good.  But in the last two home starts, he gave up one run to Color in 7 innings and 1 run to KC in 6.  What's wrong with that??   Is 5 straight strong starts not enough for you, because 3 of them happened to be on the road????

That's fine;  if you win with that I'll have no problem.  But I'm going for the gusto;  Oak will either be the pounder or the poundee

As for Figaro, don't worry too much about one game last season.  That might've been the one where Pigs could fly.
