Wednesday NBA Discussion

[BillyBatts]

Just thought I'd get a start to see what everyone was thinking about or leans for tonight's games.

Early leans for myself

Cavs+4
Celts weren't very good b2b last yr and are another year older, plus possible letdown spot after big win last night, and Cavs trying to prove they can win w/o Lebron

Nets-3.5
Think NJ will be much improved and Detroit will take a step baclk

Chi-OKC over 196

Hawks 2.5
Too much hype on Grizz and Hawks return everyone

Mavs-6.5
Bobs with no Felton take a step back and are a bad road team (I know Mavs didn't cover at home last yr though)

Jazz+4

Also Like the Raps as a pick.
They started as -2 but have seen +1 at some places due to 80% of money on the Knicks. I believe that is something that Ax and Grindstone use when capping????:0corn


I know a lot of us had some winners last night, hopefully we can keep it rolling.:toast:

I agree on Cavs. Everyone seems to be on celtics and this seems like one where the cavs play over their heads and pull out the win.

I like the twolves -3, line is moving down but Evans is out for sacramento.

Also looking at the clippers pulling the home upset win over blazers.

I saw yesterday where you mentioned you thought Minny may be a surprise team this year, or at least good ATS. Just curious as to why?

And as far as the Clips, i initially leaned that way as well, but this trend was a little scary--
Play ON PORTLAND against the spread in All games when playing on back-to-back days
The record is 15 Wins and 4 Losses for the last two seasons :scared

They also do not lose to teams they should whip up on.


I love early season B2B...but with three others this is the one not to touch.

Hope we can drink better beer tonight.

12 year mac tonight:mj06:

Showing a 5 1/2 for Cav's now

I'm also loving Minny and the Nets. The Pistons are horrid, and the Nets seem to be improved. If they lost to a much worse Nets team last year, i can't see them winning today either.
