Screwy line of the day award goes to.......SA - 2. I have SA able to give anywhere from 3 to 8 even if Phil was in their winning mode (apparently they are too busy pointing fingers at each other). I don't think it is Coleman's fault but how come every team he's played on winds up bickering all the time. Every trade, (starting with Mutumbo and then Coleman) has slowed this team down and taken them from being one of the fastest teams in the east to a half-court offense. Speed kills and Iverson in the open court is unstoppable. They are having to work hard for every basket and then Brown expects them to play hard nosed d for the whole game. Folks, that takes the fun out of the game and this year it is starting to really show. That's the reason you are seeing mental breakdowns in the d at the end of games.

Now tonight, this line looks like Vegas is wanting SA money and when it gets too easy I get worried. I can't bring myself to playing Phil but I'm not sure I want to play either side.

Here's some I like but need to look at a little harder. Wash + 1 adv and o, Orl and o, LAL and u, Sea u, Char u.

I'll probably work this down to only 2 or 3 plays.

guess vegas is putting more weight on bowen's injury or perhaps the fact that SA has a new look with daniels and parker starting in the backcourt...

I started to post this earlier but was having trouble logging on.

There's a game tonight that I won't touch. LAL. This game looks screwy as hell to me. First of all, I keep saying to be careful playing LAL games. Vegas will play games with this team. This line like the last game looks a little low but the Lakers won easily. Let's take a close look at this road trip. They have ave winning by 23. Based on how well LA is playing the line should be 6 - 7 at least. At home LA gave 7 and won by 26. Do you mean that LA's home-court adv is only 2' after a 26 point win. LA gave Ind 5' and won by 19 while Minn gave 3 and won by 7. Now do you start to understand why I think this game looks odd.

Now it gets worse. LA has scored over 109 points in 5 of their last 6 games (their ave in those wins was 116) and Minn over 109 in their last 3. In the Minn/Dallas match-ups the lines were 201 and 203 and Dallas wasn't scoring over 109 everynight. Why is this line not 203 or more. Could it be that Vegas want's the over? LA has not covered a 200 line this year. Not even against Dallas.

My point is this. Be very careful when you play this game tonight and good luck.

GSP...Wow ! Now my friend that's a write up!

GSP...Wow ! Now my friend that's a write up!

I could not agree with you more !

I have had a real difficult time handicapping this game since the line was posted last night !

The smell is funky and I will stay far away from it !

:D

Now for the real plays.

Orl - 7
o 194

Thought about Det once I heard the Pierce has his knee scoped yesterday but just can't pull the trigger.

Good luck everyone

Isnt when we cant figure it out , that is the best opportunity to make money on the play ?. Just recognizing something funky is the start of making the right decision. Instead of being scared off the play we look deeper.

Any ideas ? its getting cose to game time ...

Scott, I'm not scared off. I'm smart enough to leave them alone. LAL will burn you if you mess with them enough. Good luck

Next time the LA Lakers line smells funky , we should go against them and win big. Thats the lesson I take away from their loss last night.
