Fast forward to today and now they're so bad they can't even beat a team with a mediocre offense, lousy defense, who's playing on zero rest that they've already blown out this season at their house?

This is a real head scratcher for me.
You just described precisely contemporary NBA. I know you may be didn't mean to, but if you read what you wrote again - you'll be amazed how much hidden (not on purpose) irony is in what you just wrote.

This thread has so much winning handicappers. Without all the other BS, my NBA ATS picks alone would qualify for good picks. But my overall record doesn't. In how long will you see me in green? I hope soon enough buddy, soon enough...

Yeah... I understand what you mean. I just see this as a huge overreaction to what PHO did last night and what LAC did two nights ago.

I might lay a very tiny fun bet on LAC to teach myself a lesson. 

As I said before... BOL!

You keep talking about the rest factor...keep in mind the Clippers are playing their 3rd game in 4 days... Phoenix had  5 days off before last night. Road win for Phoenix..they get to play home tonight...they are feeling good about themselves..ot the Clippers coming to our court... who is going to be up for this game? The Clippers playing badly and facing a team they are not too excited about beating? I think the Suns are excited to be playing against one of the NBA's top teams tonight. I agree with Mavin.. Phoenix might win this game outright!

If you have been following the thread then you might notice the thread is predominately positive and about sharing ideas and methods. I do not think it has ever been about one guy and his picks.. that is why this thread has over 4000 posts. We are about the team, the methods, the ideas... are you on board??

He is playing great, putting up good numbers....but that does not equate to wins...team basketball does. Phoenix played great team basketball last night and that is going to be what covers tonight. 

Take Phoenix and the Points!  

The way I see it is the clips with or without Paul are living or dying by the 3s of bledsoe crawford and barnes- when they are on they win when they are off they lose- at least thats my view-

I even doubt they will win this game but will grab the points so generously given to the home team and run. I also see a great opportunity for under as the Suns and their newly found sense of urgency has to translate into a more controlled pace than before to keep the game close till the end.

Finals
PHOENIX Suns - LA Clippers  Under 191  (-110)  110$

Final:
BOSTON Celtics - NY Knicks  Over 94.5  First Half  (-110)   110$

Are we going to see a defensive play here? Why? Nationally televised event will have the teams running. At least in the first half.
Great 1st half over pick in the garden.

Mavin bro, I think you're going to get destroyed with Your Suns bet... I think Clippers will roll coming off 2 losses and playing on PRIME TIME...

I don't get "destroyed" by what you think can result in loss. Stop being so melodramatic if you want to stay in this business for a while. No one gets destroyed by one bet and not even 5. I'm fine with my pick. GL
