BWS 

Really nicely done BWS with your hockey picks...seriously man you have picked your spots beautifully.

Nuggets 3rd Q was $$$ yet again in a tight one at half...the Minnesota T-Bulls just dont deserve to make the playoffs, their style is not a winning style, and watching Tibbs face cry for 48min isnt good for ratings...any team using Teague as their pg aint gonna do shiiit...ever....anyone watch the last Minny possession before halftime??? Exactly.

Pacers +7.5...too many points here for Raps to cover, when really both teams will be looking to get the win, regardless by how many pts....theres a history of bad blood between these 2 teams so i look for a closely played playoff style game here

Dru...you are a very wise man without even realizing it...usually you post picks in these spots, but this time for whatever reason you asked for thoughts...thankfully/hopefully you didn't get involved with any of these as they are not regressing back to the original lines...strange Friday night scenarios...lots of alcohol flowing in the fans veins over there for sure.

Classic Euro hoops 1st Q script plays out to perfection over the next 3Qs in the Olympiakos Zalgiris game...home team fav by around 6pt blitzes the dog 25-10 in the first Q, only to piss it all way the rest of the game and loses SU in OT.

Zal +11.5 was a good option after the 1st Q

Even day (minus juice) so far. 

Locked in:

Evreux +20.5...ingame wager at halftime...down 47-25 as 2.5 road dogs (essentially a coinflip game vs two relatively evenly matched teams)...bizarre 2nd Q leading to a 35-11 scoreline for Rouen the home team...first Q was 14-12 for the road team...honestly I have NEVER EVER bet on, let alone heard or followed this team, however when my spidey senses tingle and see a random 35-11 quarter score, I tend to investigate further....by no means am I calling for a massive comeback here, however I can easily see the home team putting it into cruise control for a 12-15pt win...yet it would not surprise me at all if Evreux pulled within 2 possessions late in the 4th Q for the French Flair of Drama on a Friday night...this game smells a lot like Rockets/Blazers from last night....lets hope for a similar 2H ....2 units for me on this one....trust the process

Looking at Spain LEB oro.

Valladolid v Palencia. Original total was 154, live total is 138.5 at halftime with Palencia leading 34-28.

I'm on this Oro game over with you...seems like 8 three pointers have been scored in the first half, so that's always a good sign that these teams are atleast capable of jacking up some 3s to accelerate the total count...that's a really low 1H score for this original line...lets hope for the best here Dru 

Do the teams in Poland shoot at the wrong basket often?   

76ers to win Eastern Conference +850 for a full play

Spain 

I cant count the number of times lately that Ive either won by a basket or lost by a basket.

Im gonna need blood pressure medication soon.

Today they did.  A favored team lost by about 40. 

Pacers +7.5

Grizzlies +4 (hold your nose special...no way in my books should the queens ever be 4pt favs on the road, regardless who they are playing)

Cavs Live +15.5 for a half

Colorado/St.Louis Under 5.5 -115

STL in final playoff spot ahead of Colorado.  Colorado needs to win in regulation to pass them.  OT does them no good.  Look for STL to utilize the hockey version of the 4 corners to possess the puck and kill the clock
