    I will not be playing tomorrow, so jumping back in and post this now ( if anyone cares lol )

    I love the Hornets, feel like they are one of the funnest teams to watch, these boys can get buckets! Play with big time personality, NBA want this team in the playoffs! 4 isn't a Big number to cover, but.... I rather miss out on a win here then to lose one going against almost everything in my system. Yes, I know the Magic sucks, and have shown they suck BIG TIME! They lost to the Celtics 3rd stringers, lost to the 76ers without Embiid! So going to Trust the System and Stick to the Process here, even if it means missing out on a WIN! I also like the Suns a bunch, I feel like this is a game they can dominate! but like we all saw last night, the Curry effect is REAL! Dude is a playstation cheat code when he is on one, if any one player in the NBA have that knock out punch to get them a WIN, its Curry! I will skip out trying on a due or die game to muster a WIN! No need to mess with the word EGO here. 

    I do like a few games Saturday and will be back to post those after the games Friday! Good Luck to all that are Grinding Friday! Make some MONEY!

    I see very little reason to back Orlando at this pt they are a mess if you saw that game vs Celtics bench players which they lose to that game and follow by that 1st playin game which they didn’t show much reason why anyone should want to back them.  
    The NBA is obviously wanting to push Charlotte to make playoffs for the main reason you already mentioned. You know this league is trying their best to get the NBA ratings up.  The referees somehow missed the dirty play LaMelo did to Bam pulling his leg whether that was on purpose or not I’m not here to argue with referees missing that but with NBA reviewing the footage next day and acknowledging the referees missed what LaMelo did but ONLY fining him and not suspending him should say it all they want Charlotte to make the playoff badly.  Think about it if it’s a dirty play on LaMelo’s part and surely Miami would’ve won with Bam in that game why wouldn’t they suspend LaMelo and only just fined him, for sure they want Charlotte to have a good chance to win and make playoff for the ratings.

    @Chauster

    Best of Luck! Sounds like you are already committed to making some money betting the Hornets! and you know what? NICE BET!! I am just not willing to buck my system, rather miss out on a win with the Hornets, like I did with the Heat +6

    I am not sure if BAM was in the game and had not gotten hurt would have made any difference, if anything I want to say had BAM played his regular minutes, the Hornets not only WIN but COVER that game! Those amazing shots made by Mitchell would have been layups by Bam, when Bam was OUT for the game, that mental spike by all the Heat players took over, TIME TO STEP UP! But these are just my opinion.

    As with the Magic..... they do suck! Franz Wager coming back killed everything the Magic build chemistry and momentum wise, Anthony Black, the same can be said there! Killed a lot of their mojo! but.... if the HEAT can go toe to toe with the Hornets so can these Magic, I do not think or believe +3.5 is any value, I too is assuming Hornets roll them up and smoke them but so is the rest of the world! I rather let this one go then buck my system and be on the short end of the stick just incase of some HOME COURT "MAGIC" by the Magic!

    I can not argue with anyone taking the Hornets! Rather its whatever angel you can come up with, they are the BET! I am sitting this one out like I said yesterday, I will watch the game, low key cheering for the Hornets too! peace_5clover

    Well cant beat the system! Hornets played one shitty game and while disappointed I did not roll with my system, I was willing miss out on a WIN with the Magic then fading that Run and GUN offense, I personally didnt see that type of ass beating this game! The Suns are the way better team, their downfall has been their defense all season! but that wasn't going to be a factor with the Warriors who also play zero defense, maybe even worse! Maybe missed out on another WIN here, but hey! I was avoiding that knock out punch by Stepth Curry! A risk I just didn't want to take! 

    I hope everyone made some nice cash during the play-ins, I went 1-1 and basically sat out! Tomorrow is the officially Round 1. Excited for the playoffs! Lets all make some serious money the next 8 weeks!
