I still took it -5 yesterday, though it is suspiciously low and if it is too fishy, i might buy it back. No Nash, no Blake, no Meeks, and Kobe. That's 4 PG/SG that you can't really just replace with the guys who haven't played this whole season. Plus Artest is not 100%. They will have to rely heavily on Gason and Howard. But can they deliver? I would bet against it.

It is low for a reason- as phixer stated how the credit is given to the home team- the line should be -9 or so but it is being discounted because they are away- the heat -7? when at home they were -14? that kind of thing- so the line is not fishy- it is just home court advantage which I dunno that it really exist in rd 1 as much as it will when the teams get better matchups in later rounds.

Also since I posted the total just keeps dropping. it may get to point where it may be an over in live bet if they start off really bad at this rate you may see a live 169-174 line if they start shooting poorly.

But do the post game as I love reading about your post here like everyone else. Im just happy that pretty much my reasoning pays out and prolly my post game will be all similar to my reasoning since what I expect is what shows on most of the games yesterday.

MIA Def again shows up and with mil on fire 1st qtr but that's about it.

BK pushing hard to score right at the beginning and when CHI realizing it they step up their def and bk barely can't score until the 4th collapse or I would say relaxed from the chi.

 

MEM finally did what they suppose to do since game 1 and to slow down the phase it was close as garbage baskets was big on a low spread of 178 but right from the start of the game mem was able to control the phase of the game.

Hope magic still continues tonight

AshyLarryMP 7-10 (71-70-2)

Over 185 LA Lakers - SA Spurs

Under 211 GS Warriors - DEN Nuggets

GS Warriors +1.5

lakers line started around 187.5 and public has dropped it to 185, i'll take the value as i feel spurs won't go for the throat early and allow lakers to score some points.. liked lakers 1st half but i'll take chances fading the public at probably its lowest value.

the nuggets still are not a good road team, so i love the warriors here at + value to take the 2-1 series lead.. with or without lee they hold home court well and as long as currys ankle holds up think they'll win.. like the under here cause i feel that warriors won't shoot 60% for the game and put up 30+ every quarter this time around.. also fading the public on this one..

Post game write up is a big part of bettering yourself- I will post later during the first game-

Glad to see you like the lost game otherwise if no is reading is pointless to spend the time on them-

Long time no see, folks. I see the most people have accepeted Marvin's thread as a sort of permanent feature of the forum, and that's good because it is a pretty helpful thread.

Here's my bet for tonight:

April 26
New York KNICKS +0.5 4Q -$235 to win $200

Good luck everyone!


YTD: 32-27-2 +$425

Jan/13: 28-22-2 +$721
Feb/13: 04-05-00 -296

SunsDevils 2-2 (43-40)

SA Spurs -5

Still waiting to see if I am going to play the later game, but will post this one for now. Took SAS yesterday, don't know how the lakers are going to compete with their backcourt having almost no experience. They will need a huge  game from Gasol and Howard. But somebody still needs to be able to distribute the ball to them. I will take the Spurs here. Pop and his team should be motivated to go 3-0 on the Lakers, basically finishing the whole series off.

Jpaco 12-2-1 (52-59-2)

Under 184.5 LA Lakers - SA Spurs

what else the lal can do but post up plays and really tought def to try to even win tonight and spurs for sure expecting it already so they will be carefull each in every play makes the phase of the game slow if ever that happen

LA Lakers +6

this is one gut feeling that I'm doing knowing both pg are out for the lal who gives points and create points for them is simply no chance lal can keep up. But that's when someone from the bench step up knowing tonight will be the night for them to prove if they have anything to prove. Im just seing lal fighting till the end and going to be physical from start to finish.


Over 211 GS Warriors - DEN Nuggets

both team will adjust on their def for sure but both teams scores to win and not def to win so rolling on the over as I sense den going strong and gs will be ready for it toe to toe


BOL EVERYONE
