Yesterday was a total disaster. I must admit I was guilty of some laziness. I didn't cap the games as long as I should have and made a couple of knee-jerk plays. Let this be a lesson to me and others who glance at the board and try to come up with action. That shit doesn't produce anything but heartache. 0-5.
Just one play today...another contrarian whopper:
ATLANTA / MEMPHIS OVER 181.5
The guy in the polyester shorts sees Memphis up on the board tonight and rushes to the window to bet the UNDER. I see it going the other way. Grizzlies have not been scoring baskets, but get a softer defense tonight than recent tough opponents, while the Hawks should be fired up after two consecutive blowout home defeates. Look for Atlanta to use this game as a showcase of talent (clearing throat here) and Memphis to respond in kind with a decent offensive outing. I see the Hawks getting close to 100 tonight, while even the Grizzlies will get past the 80 mark versus Atlanta. Some overreaction here by linesmakers and the public to two flat teams -- which under the right conditions produces surpirsingly higher scoring games than expected.
