i'll be playing mostly college action with limited NBA action today.. still going to post NBA picks.. but some college picks for ya.. i like Virginia PK.. and BYU+6 as i feel the public is heavy on duke and gonzaga and i'll take the value on the home teams. BYU +6 is cushy with their home field advantage and beat gonzaga in BYU last season.. Virginia will definitely be looking for upset, need a big win and line is moving in opposite direction of the public on both games.. if not both i'm sure one of these games will win.. thanks for listening guys! try not to take too much more NCAA space on NBA forum lol

why? not questioning it just that you should state why you are picking those lines.
Well, Bulls are 7-22 ATS in home games, 1-7 as a home favorite of 6,5 to 9 points.
76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points. 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss
76ers seems not better, but i think it will be close, we are thursday, and +7 seems fine And Line didnt move in spite 65%+ on bulls
Wolves are +10,5 I dont see Lakers win, wolves match are pretty close And they are 21-14 ATS Vs Lakers @LA
(Sorry my english is quite bad, im from Europe)

yes well needless to say i was quite surprised to see the suns actually compete with the spurs, but hey "them da breaks" I guess, gotta shrug it off and concentrate on today.

See a lot of leans early on Bulls. Weird line movement here gents. Bulls have been struggling offensively, and I see this as a big number for them to cover at the moment. I guess the opposing argument is the Sixers loss to the Magic at home there being a prove yourself factor. I see very few occurrences where teams get slammed 2 games in a row in the NBA. I should have bet it last night but I think the Under was a good play here as well as both teams trend under.

Any thoughts?
My opinion is right now( unless someone changes my mind with some good points) is that the safest play would be that of sixers +7, for the exact reason that you stated, that the sixers would not want to be embarassed two games in a row and especially not in front of a national audience( they really put this game on in primetime instead of the clips/pacers game??), the bulls offence can put some points up sometimes but lately (i guess since D-Rose started practicing) they seem to be coasting, almost counting on D-Rose's return to be the spark that they need to become a dangerous offence instead of ho-hum offence, like if their mind-set is "it's ok to take it easy right now cause D-Rose is coming back and once he's back it's on".My take would be a tight game won by the bulls but by 3 or 4pts max, maybe even a surprise win by the sixers.I think the sixers just learned that Bynum probably won't be joining them this year, so does this motivate them to put their "big boy pants on"?They are 5.5 games out of a playoff spot, I would think they need this game more than the bulls.

yes well needless to say i was quite surprised to see the suns actually compete with the spurs, but hey "them da breaks" I guess, gotta shrug it off and concentrate on today.
I think that we should add to the notes that after a poor showing (scoring wise, not win/loss) because of the law of averages the team will show up in the next day or too- that being said it makes the 205 on the laker game very doable since the wolves scored like low most of the game against the suns- avg of like 10 baskets a quarter-
I have also been following the nuggets very close all year and it made me think of a new thing to watch out for. That is the way team get points, this was prob. discussed earlier but the nuggets get their points in the paint, they had a bunch of stats and charts during the game to show that. That being the case when determining totals we have to see how the other team would/can/or can't defend that and how they score against their rebound abilities.
When using that logic I see the sixers sort of like the wizards running up and down the court with the occasional 3pt (as of late) and I see the bulls as settling for jump shots- case and point their game against OKC. The advantage on the boards here I think goes to the bulls because of size, but can they get back on defense when they don't get the rebound. Against the lakers and the blazzers it was taking the nuggets about 3 seconds to be on the other side of the court ready for a layup- It is very hard to defend that all game long as younger fresh legs will usually prevail.
So how does this apply to today's game.
First game clippers and pacers- I think the clippers are a faster team and a larger team as well. With odom griffin and jordan they should be able to defend the paint. This is where the pacers have an advantage against the Heat- the heat use a small quick lineup most of the time and a few weeks back we saw how the pacers were able to beat them by working the paint all game long. Thursdays is for the most part more of an away pref than a dog (not all visitors are dogs) and for the most part the TV games go over from my recent memory. Indiana has been hot and i could be wrong but I think they are getting into that way too confident zone.
The Bulls game I still need some time on the totals.
But leaning on the 76ers specially as part of my teaser of 5.5 added points. May do a smaller on as well to get the bulls close to a win by a bucket.
As for the lakers game I think the lakers win this one but not sure they cover this big spread- The 2/1/13 game was very interesting where the lakers won by 11 but it took vert good shooting to do that meaning 12 opts and 21/25 from the FT line- while the wolves shot 40% across the board. Also the game could be an under game if the teams settle for jump shots. This is a game that is probably best played one half at a time.

2 times the zags have gone into BYU.. they lost both matchups 73-83, and 67-89. BYU is 15-2 at home..biggest game of the year for them! game is on Espn 2, think they won't be pumped up tonight?
i can EASILY see gonzaga winning.. but by double digits is a stretch.. Zags don't blow out all that often on the road (lost to butler, won by 2 @USD, @WSU by 2 @Santa Clara by 7, @SanFran by 10) they didn't cover the spread in any of those. BYU meanwhile only lost to SaintMarys by 1 at home and had a slip up against SanFran (everyone has slipups, ask michigan lol, doesn't mean they suck).
i mean by all means, it's your opinion, but there's my reasoning for BYU to keep it within 6. but one of us will be right! gotta like that. BOL

Got roll with the pacers even without hibbert. The trio of George, hill, and west have been tremendous and will pick up the slack which seems to be the norm in the nba with a star out. The pacers have been just about unbeatable at home, and the clippers have not done well in Indiana.
Bulls are in a funk right now and their defense Has lacked inintensity of late. The bulls have consistently underperformed at home. This is do or die time for sixers and the trends point towards a good effort by Philly tonight.
The wolves have done well in la covering 5 out the last seven. They have been pesky of late and will put forth a strong effort to avenge an earlier home loss to the Lakers. The Lakers are improving but still can't be trusted to cover ten.
Powercore 15-12
IND Pacers pk PHI Sixers +7.5 MIN Wolves +10

My prediction was that this Total would post somewhere around
199-200. Especially given the Total for
Tuesdays Warriors/Pacers game was around 196 (or whatever you got it as). My prediction was higher based on the fact
Hibbert will not be there to clog up the middle. I think Pacers respond to the altercation in
a similar matter as the Warriors did last night, coming together and putting up
points. We all know that the Clippers
can put up numbers at a tremendous pace so I see this one easily going over the
Total tonight.
PHI 76ers +7
Presented a good argument earlier in reference to this game. Received some great feedback reaffirming my
thoughts. The line has not moved in any
direction since the earlier post. It
does seem like some money is coming in on the 76ers but I think Vegas may like
the money coming in at a 2-1 rate in favor of the Bulls. Think the game is a low scoring game and with
that, I will take the points. Here are
the trends I posted earlier. May I point
at the Bulls are not even covering the bad teams at home in their past 6.
LA Lakers -10
I like the Lakers here as they are rested, at home, playing better as
of late, and they have KOBE BRYANT.
Meaning Kobe's will alone could carry the Lakers in to the
play-offs. I think the Lakers moving
forward will win the games they should and at the least plat competitively in
games against better teams. The Suns
were rocking the TWolves until they realized they were the Suns. Add Twolves being hurt to the list of reasons
I feel confident on this play. I could
not find any convincing trend statistics for this game (but who says you always
need that), but I feel confident the Lakers are 10 points better than the
Timberwolves at the moment.

of late, and they have KOBE BRYANT.
Meaning Kobe's will alone could carry the Lakers in to the
play-offs. I think the Lakers moving
forward will win the games they should and at the least plat competitively in
games against better teams. The Suns
were rocking the TWolves until they realized they were the Suns. Add Twolves being hurt to the list of reasons
I feel confident on this play. I could
not find any convincing trend statistics for this game (but who says you always
need that), but I feel confident the Lakers are 10 points better than the
Timberwolves at the moment.
I believe the 76er's will have a bounce back game and be able to put some points on the board and take advantage of , as of late anyways, a soft bull's defense.There are some ref's to support the over also.I believe we will hit a total of 180 at least.I can see something like 93-89.
Over 205.5 MIN Timberwolves-LA Lakers
I truly don't like betting on the soap opera that is the Lakers but Turbo made alot of sense to me with his post about teams getting blown out, so I'm going to test it out with this game and the sixers game.Suns surprised me yesterday, and with that in mind the other team that crapped the bed offensively with the suns will be looking to compete tonight, I don't know about covering but I like them to put some points on the board at least 95, lakers offence has been clicking since the all-star break so they should have no problem putting up points.there is an over ref playing this game also:Kevin Scott 22-13 O/U
Best of luck tonight everyone!

Since the all-star break Indiana has been beating teams by an average of almost 24 points. Admittedly the competition hasn't been quite like that of the Clippers and they will be without the services of Hibbert. However, I still have the Pacers by 7-8 points and I don't think Hibbert is worth 6 points on the spread.
The biggest reason is that the Bulls typically shut down offensive struggling teams and Philadelphia has trouble scoring, especially on the road. I have Philadelphia scoring between 75-80 points which means the Bulls have to score more than 100. The Bulls score 100 points about 20% of the time so I like my odds.
