Couple thoughts on the games

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 11:19 AM

Yeah I can see that, they are not overly worried about Pacers in a long run.. They lost on opening night in Philly too but yes.. Celtics are just well balanced team that plays well together.. I just think Pacers will want it more and I count on them to have a really good showing at home and Celtics not too good

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 02:12 PM

Disagree on the Griz. Been a month since the Suns strung successive wins together. Think they leave little doubt this time.

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 03:14 PM

You could be right there.. There are things I don't like about memphis here... I m torn a bit on clippers game.. IF FVL doesnt play I like clippers..they are more talented team but Raps will try to win this one really hard after they give ring to Lenard... Not sure..

Also feel like Pelicans might cover 10 vs Bucks without Giannis.. He just means too much to them I think but pels are so chaotic that makes me worry...

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 03:24 PM

Getting a ring typically means a letdown, but Leonard is a stoic chap. Raptors are 0-4 ATS since Lowry returned.. we both called that. I saw in his first game back he was looking off Siakam -BAD move. Needs to recognize who the star of the team is.

Bucks are great even without Giannis imo. Coach Bud is a super-star. Coach Gentry is incompetent.

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 03:30 PM

Yeah I cant watch him complain so much..he will also take 10 threes per game which takes shots from Siakam and freddy and that is worse for raptors even powell plays less minutes.. They should probably trade him but they never will

.. Yeah I am not sure how Gentry is coach there for so long...Their highlight was sweeping blazers...

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 06:20 PM

skipped on memphis...played pacers minny and kings... some small combinations and parlays too lol

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 08:42 PM

Kemba is killing pacers...boston shooting very very well so far

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 09:17 PM

Celtics never have a bad game! I'm going to get them this time I think...

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 09:34 PM

Was going to bet the Celtics tomorrow night, but now maybe not. Walker just the type to fall flat one night after a performance like this.

**europe_baller** · 12-11-19, 10:55 PM

Yeah I was thinking same thing, if they lost a bit easier I would be all over them.. But I dont like philla in close games.. they got away few times...wolves pissed me off... they were never in the f game..

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 11:14 PM

Yeah soft effort by the T'Wolves. Coming off a long trip and a b2b set with no extra rest day, a total no-show ...Pacers had the same scenario a couple night back vs the Clippers.

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 11:17 PM

Struggle for the Suns too. Something up with Booker's wrist so say the Suns commentary. Had been on fire coming into tonight.

**IBetYou** · 12-11-19, 11:59 PM

Mavs & Pistons play in Mexico City tomorrow night. Unders might be the play. High altitude (fair bit more so than Denver). There were two NBA games there last season and no team topped 100pts!

Yeah Grizz just play tough... their coach seems to get the best out of them and Morant is going to be a stud... Felt like 7 points is too much to cover but backed out...thanks lol

Can pistons follow some wins with good showing vs Mavs? I like angle for the under even though I rarely play points...

**europe_baller** · 12-12-19, 10:25 AM

Euroleague games for some action

...

Fener -2 vs Efes - after horrible start Fener is finding its form, won last 3 and average 94 points in those I believe while efes is on like 6 games winning streak and beat some tough teams on the road Armani, Baskonia etc... I think fener takes this one..If they slow down somewhat Larkin and Micic they should score enough at home...

Cska ML at 2.0 vs Maccabi - Maccabi is undefeated at home but are without Wolters, Casspi and Dibartolomeu for this one.. Cska has been without clayburn for a while and will be for season but they adjusted well.. Got tight one at home vs Zalgiris and beat Barca easy on the road game before that one.. I think they are good enough to win in Israel and I like the odds here...

Crvena Zvezda ML vs Baskonia - It is going to be tough, I am homer here but I dont play Zvezda all the time, actually I like to play us when we are dogs like last week in Milano when we beat Armani. We changed the coach and playing much better last couple games..We had some injuries but our home court is one of the toughest in the league and I think we take this one...Good luck

Nba games coming soon too at least what I think

**europe_baller** · 12-13-19, 11:09 AM

euroleague games were horrible.. as for today...

Hawks +6 vs Pacers - Can we get pacers game correct couple times in a row.. They are good playing well but 6 on the road vs Hawks after big win the other day I am not sure.. Hawks can be great and awful at times.. They are getting bit more production from few players so I can see this one going to the wire...

Lakers -5.5 vs Heat - On typical day I would look for Heat here and to look for upset but without Dragic and Winslow I am not so sure... Heat are playing great but they are a bit short for Lakers IMO and they need nunn and herro to step up big time to keep them in this game.. Of course lakers are due for some bad game and loss but not sure.. Might skip this one but they should cover regardless..

Timberwolves +5.5 vs Clippers - Not sure if I can play them again but.... No Beverly on the road and I dont expect their defense to be that sharp.. They got no one that can deal with KAT..Not sure maybe I am looking at this wrong but I like them here...Wolves are in a slump and need to straighten their ship.. National TV game could be good time to show it but we will see if they have enough... Thoughts?

**europe_baller** · 12-14-19, 06:12 PM

rough rough stretch...so far I like bulls

Bulls +4.5 and ML at 2.6 vs Clippers - I like Bulls in this matchup versus injured and tired Clippers team.. I think they will be ready to play here and if Lou and/or Pat are out even better..Bulls playing well so I think they have decent chance to win outright here..

Washington ML at 2 vs Grizzlies - I also like wizards here.. I think in close game throughout Wizards pull out late.. I could be wrong but just have a feeling like that and I was off not going to lie

**europe_baller** · 12-15-19, 01:53 PM

Good win on Bulls, wash just shit the bed.. can Pels finally win?

**europe_baller** · 12-18-19, 04:44 PM

I am doing better if I dont write anything lol... anyone have any picks...

Celtics -2.5 vs Mavs - I really liked Celtics and -2 then it moved and then I saw Hayward is out.. I dont like that but I think Mavs will go down to earth a bit without Doncic.. They played great in Milwaukee and hit all the shots..I just think Celtics will be good in this one but need Tatum to play here..

Bulls +2 vs Wizards - I am little hesitant to play them after 26 points blown lead but Wash put Bertans in starting 5 since Rui is injured and it will hurt their bench.. I think Bulls a bit deeper team and should win this one.. I am just not sure I can play them after that collapse.. Couple horrible calls against them too..

I kind of like both Heat at +7.5 and Pelicans at +6.5.. Pels played much harder last night and gave it away.. Minny is not great and Towns is ? but I think he will play... Heat on national TV vs Philla team that can be great and not so good at times but they are great at home.. Dragic, Winslow being out can hurt them but I think rooks Nunn, Herro and Robinson step up with Jimmy going back to Philly...

Also, think Cavs cover -2.5 but not sure I will play them

..

essentially this lol

but f it, i'm on magic 9.5, getting my money back from last night.

hhaha man.. Like its trying to prove something to someone...

Yeah I thought 9.5 that Magic getting is way too much and bit overrated as a back to back but haven't pulled the trigger yet

**Vulcan300** · 12-18-19, 07:26 PM

is grizzlies square? these guys flying kinda under the radar a bit, not too far off. if Morant is playing i like my money on them, road or home they showing they are putting something together. mind you grizzlies as a franchise has never won in OKC, extra motivation? fk it, spread and ml. lol

**IBetYou** · 12-18-19, 08:12 PM

Hello chaps how r ya doin?

Watching the Wiz game a bit. Wiz got a new GM, Sheppard, over the summer. He's herding this team to title town! Definitely needs to be GM of the year. Bertans as I've said before is a star. Amazing how they've transformed this team -looked like they should blow it up but next season if Wall can come back they will contend.

**IBetYou** · 12-18-19, 08:13 PM

Stunning turnaround in the Philly game. Zone defense turning it big time.

**Vulcan300** · 12-18-19, 08:15 PM

lol yea their fg% is ridiculously, 4th in the league!

**IBetYou** · 12-18-19, 08:25 PM

Tempted on Celtics but they're without Smart AND Hayward tonight, so going to have to rely upon guys like Wannamaker & Ojeleye ...and maybe that performance in Milwaukee was not an aberration for the Mavs.

Do like the Warriors +9. Fading Anthony is typically a profitable enterprise.

**Vulcan300** · 12-18-19, 08:52 PM

so on the magic +9, i remember clearly for years id bet nuggets in this b2b opponent spot and get crushed each time. plus this magic team has been solid with the rebirth of fultz mixed in with vucevic back. add in revenge game. fk it taking a stab at ML.

**Vulcan300** · 12-18-19, 09:27 PM

just wanted to add on celtics besides being on TV, brad stevens and 6 days rest to see how mavs beat bucks.

Good call. Magic stout defensively. Nuggets still not clear of their slump.

**europe_baller** · 12-18-19, 10:11 PM

Yeah Magic looks really good..bulls with comeback, similar to the one they allowed to OKC..pels looking good too

Funny how that happens. Suffering a meltdown one game and then inflicting the same experience on the opponent next game. Seems it happens a lot! Therapeutic I guess.

**Vulcan300** · 12-18-19, 10:45 PM

what in the f happened in the 3rd lol

**IBetYou** · 12-18-19, 10:46 PM

That turned around pretty quick.

Ought to cover the +9 though surely. Defense will do that much.

**IBetYou** · 12-18-19, 11:23 PM

No Isaac in the 4th - injured - no defense. Push.
