NBA SAT 032109 early thoughts - value hunting (NO PICKS INSIDE)

[axp59]

Ax,
Just finished two dive today. Weather is excellent. The water is crystal clear and nice coral and fishes around. For any bros who are interesting in diving, Mar and April is the best month to diving in CEBU

It was a beautiful day. As beautiful as the MEM U yesterday.:toast: you are right Ax, you pay me the trip already.

So,are we locked on Orl U today already?

Not locked in full yet bro...hang tight...got other games I'm capping. enjoy your vacation brother...to me, family is what's important!

Lakers: - 4.0

The Bulls seemingly would be the attractive option here, on fire as of late, dismantling good teams at home - Orlando, New Orleans, Boston (albeit an undermanned unit)... Then go on the road where they've been sorry and dispatch a sprightly Thunder team (and one that a lot of self-annointed 'sharp' bettors were drooling over in that game - much like last night's game against a road-poor Jazz).

Fakers let their arrogance get the better of 'em and enable the 76ers nip 'em, then build a 18 point lead against the lowly Warriors, only to lose focus and concentration yet again and allow Golden State back in the game, frustrating (not the 1st time this season) FG and 2nd Half ticket holders...

YET this is the same Fakers team that went East, beat Boston and handed the Cavs their SOLE loss at home... Later headed into San Antonio and dealt the Spurs a loss after San Antonio had the luxury of a few days off (that game should've been a red flag, by the way, for last night's game b/w Boston and San Antonio - the Spurs are definitely showing their age and no number of days off will remedy that).

The Lakers resemble an insecure big man on campus - do they want to stop the Bulls dead in their tracks? Emerge from the game w/ their superficial swagger intact and Kobe's smirk once more annoying in its ubiquity?

There'll always be those who back the Fakers no matter what the situation (and usually come out on the short end); the Bulls here are the so-designated 'SEXY' choice - but it's a square dance (as much as one can be when it involves the Lakers) - leaning/riding w/ the 'UGLY' one:

Lakers: - 4.0

Why do yo do this to me ETZ...I saw this and thought the same thing. I LOVE this play. I LOVE 'em ugly...my games that is. I'm going to dig deeper now that I'm not the only one thinking this.

Thanks pal.

good morning boys. Nothing like steak and eggs in the morning AX. First off I hate the lakers and have been fading them second halfs and killing it. They are heavly favored at home with a team that is just so inconsitent. With that being said the lakers are very excited about this road trip. I watched many interviews here living in LA and I must quote " we are excited to get back to just us aginst the world". Four interviews and all mentioned how this trip was needed and loking forward to just being about us. With that said i would not bet against the lakers only becuase they are a very talented team and this is exactly what they need for the playoffs.

Ax, whats up bro!?....damn Everton couldnt hold lead n was a draw at 1-1. no harm done anyhow. what makes u like the Huskies and U? i like your thoughts so far, and was wondering your take on LAL as well. an article on CHI newspaper says del negro is gonna give everyone on the team a shot at kobe on D. seems like a playoff type of atmosphere n i can see a lower score due to that and del negro bein an ex-Spur and all....your thoughts??

 

[proguy747]

Hate to say it becuase I am a boston fan but the lakers might be the play here. Might be a good game to watch as it will set the tone for the road trip.

Love the EPL update! I tried to play that last night and the juiced was jacke up to -140. I backed off since I have no dam idea if that's still value.

Ax -

Glad I was more reserved about the Everton play than Man U last night - well, Portsmouth have now just taken the lead 2-1; and although UGLY choices don't pan out as often as they do in the NBA based on my experience, UGLY Portsmouth have 10 minutes to hold on before they singe a whole lot of wallets backing SEXY Everton...

Man U versus Fulham is more like Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

VA21 -

I think that's what it was; Banes hit a spot kick to put Everton in the lead about 8 minutes in, Crouch came back w/ a header to tie the game and that was the score heading into halftime...

Good info Cali...I know they're dying for a fresh start...Going East is exactly what they need...The Lakers have bought into the whole "we are the Lakers from the West and we own you lesser teams in the East" philosophy.

Running some trend analysis reveal this line is exactly where it should be. Also the he same exact results from running stats analysis. Betting on the LakeShow tonight is betting on the Zen Master. I still remember that face the other night as clear as day. I think he has this team ready for this one!

PG -

Do agree, but even if the Lakers' bench underperforms, I think Mr. Platypus (only b/c Kobe's nose reminds me of the snout found on that mammal) will want the satisfaction of having everyone acknowledge that the Lakers/HE left the Bulls wanting... Ego/the id is 1st and foremost concerned about personal survival, but in this day and age and in sports, it's also about having the most to boast and Bryant impresses one as the type to relish in that.

Pulled back on Ev because of the juice.

The Huskies play is a straight tail from Joe and the under play is a system play for me.

My lean is on the LAL/CHI U but I like the side here much better
