    the live line was 49.5 but then changed to 49.00 which was right on what I need so i decided to let it right and wait for a live total- i was hoping for 205 or more-

    I think it has been more luck than skill lately Mavin..you have been posting without any write-ups, no reasoning, and you have been posting far before the gametime without any view of the line movement or anything else.  Take your time, do the research, and make your picks accordingly and you will be back to your starting roll

    I saw his picks earlier and did not see a write up but I had my mind made up after the OT loss on which OKC led in OT i thought they come with the thunder- no pun intended. Also the clippers fading yesterday late in the game did not inspire me and then paul was out- and they won games without him but that was not going to last- I thought that Paul out would also increase the under thats because while he gives better shot opp to his team mates he also likes to slow down the game and control the clock - I did not see this happen today.

    The over was looking shady with OKC shooting 20% from the field- then KD took over- It was too close for comfort but it worked out.

    As for me getting close to completing the parlays- have other with open spots hope to get them all to just 1 to go so that I can hedge one of them-

    Thanks for your concern CM, but I can assure you I do not guess the outcomes of the games but handicap them real hard. When I post early picks (only happened 3 times) it is because I have those games and their outcomes marked earlier and circled in my notes as the results of the noting the details convincing me about the outcome. In other words - spot plays for me. And if you're talking about luck - I'd rather been unlucky than lucky outcome wise lately. Otherwise I would not have to grind out so much for so long. Thanks as always in your constructive criticism especially on the heels of a winning day as I also believe it should be done (I'm not being sarcastic or cynical)

    Interesting historical trends in DET-CHI game:

    It's too bad CP didn't play last night. I really would have like to have seen whether that would have made a big difference. I suspect not since the Clippers were terrible from the line and awful at 3 pointers.

    Basically, it became Griffin against the Thunder.

    As promised, here are the stats I've collated this past few days

    MONDAY (1/21)
    - Martin Luther King's day - HOLIDAY
    - Monday was said to be a FAVE day, but since it's a HOLIDAY, I deemed it more fit to the weekend trend of DOGS and FADES day.

    FAVES to DOGS (ATS ONLY)
    7-1-1

    PUBLIC to FADES (ATS ONLY)
    7-1-1

    TUESDAY (1/22)
    - Said to be a FAVE day. 
    - Let's see the trend...

    FAVES to DOGS (ATS ONLY)
    3-1

    PUBLIC to FADES (ATS ONLY)
    3-1

    WEDNESDAY
    - Said to be a DOGS and FADES day.
    - For all the expert pick lurkers out there, expert picks last Wednesday turned out 0-3
    - here are my picks and short write ups

    DEN@HOU -2.0
    pk - DEN +2.0 (2u)
    This is not my write up but damn I've got to share this one. Really well written. Go see for yourself. This is from "swolesbee"

    "These are the top 2 teams in the NBA as far as pace goes. Transition is the name of their game for them. Neither team has much of an offensive post presence and neither team is very effective in a halfcourt setting. The difference here is that Denver has very good transition defense(5th in the NBA), Houston does not(26th). When both teams have to run some offense Denver actually is more effective than Houston (I will rarely ever get to say that about Denver). If Houston can't score on the break all they do is try to break a team down off the dribble(Iso plays with Harden), or they run a pick n roll. They really don't have any threats with the roll man and most of their pick n rolls or pick n pops are designed for the ball carrier(Harden or Lin) to get their own shot. Teams are starting to figure this out though and as a result the Houston offense is really struggling lately. Denver matches up-very well because as I mentioned they play great transition defense but also because they are really good at defending the ball handler in the pickn roll. They are top 6 in the NBA in all 3 of these phases: transition defense, isolation plays, and defending the pick n roll ball handler.

    Denver also has 2 other HUGE advantages. 
    Bench play and offensive rebounding. Denver doesn't have a low post presence per-say but they are the best offensive rebounding team in the league. Last game Faried alone had 9 offensive rebounds lol.  This in my opinion could be the difference as Houston has nobody on their roster capable of keeping Faried of the boards. Denver has the 6th best bench in the league, Houston has the 20th. Denver will bring Andre Miller, Corey Brewer, Wilson Chandler, and Javale Mcgee off the bench. Houston brings Toney Douglas, Patrick Beverley(d-league call up), Markus Morris, Greg Smith, and Delfino off the bench. 

    The way to beat Denver is to slow the pace down, make them play half court offense, box out their bigs, and attack them with a low post presence. Houston absolutely has no chance at doing any of that."

    - I also noticed that the Reverse Line Theory is applicable in this one. Public pounding on HOU, and the line moved from -2.5 to -2.0 still in favor of HOU. hmmm.. Reverse Line Theory tallied (in my personal notes) at 10-4. Took DEN right away.
