love reading you analyst bro, keep it upComment -
Gaymond tapped out tonight because he didn't want any part of Luka magic
Seems like these Warriors are cheating the league; every team wants to beat them like a rented mule but the main guys are running for the hills... Mavs 44-16 after 1Comment -
Pistons main pick and starters shot 15/60, not even close...how do do you do that.. ended up playing wash ml with celtics +8.. Changed from spurs i even put it somewhere.. but man.. also play hornets -4 and magic ml.. thought either they win straight up or raptors covering..
Just so that vucevic and gordon both got hurt and played like 10 mins each.. still deep down i knew raps were great team and should at least stay away.. in addition to pistons nuggets ended up taking wizards and magic both ml, hornets -4 and cavs +10.5 🤦*♂️🤦*♂️🤦*♂️Comment -
Good call on Nuggets & (probably) Celtics. A pair of dragon slayers.
Speaking of slayers, what is tecmoslayer? Tecmo is a computer game manufacturer aint it?Comment -
Played celtics live in 3rd plus 3.5 and ML..you were right on raps.. not sure for tecmoslayer lolComment -
Wowwww what a bs call on paul g and then kemba doesnt get call.. but clipps are goinf to be so tough to beat when they get their rotations and everythingComment -
P.Beverley deserves a championship. He's unbelievable... Impacts the game in so many ways.Comment -
He does but foul on pg and then no offensive foul on Kemba.. couple horrible calls against bostonComment -
Great tough game...wow playoff intensity.. Love the way Celtics play and compete...Comment -
Pelicans(+4) vs Suns and some ML - I think at the moment 2 teams are going in different directions..Pelicans are slowly getting healthy and playing better while Suns have some injuries to major pieces of their team and recent success.. Rubio and Baynes.. They fought back vs Sacramento but I think points here are nice.. I expect it to drop when Rubio is announced out..Suns still play hard and well at home but season is long..Teams are not going to underestimate them anymore..Ingram is too long for Saric and they will most likely put Jrue on Booker..Pels play free and all of their bench players got a lot of confidence at the moment.. Jackson, Melli etc..I think good spot for Pelicans on TV tonight to maybe still one on the road..Comment -
You would think it would be pick'em odds wouldn't ya? No Rubio means poor offense. No Baynes means poor defense. Pel's have been poor on the road and the market remains in love with the Suns so I guess that's why the odds.Comment -
How about the Detroit game tomorrow? Pistons getting a 6.5pt handicap vs the Hawks. Lost the earlier meeting by 17pts in the same place.Comment -
Who do you all like today....I mean.... I am looking at the games and not sure.. I kind of like Nets...but.. Same with Hornets...Can heat keep covering everything everywhere seems like?Comment -
didn't check in yesterday but had pelicans too, glad to see that. took blazers also, no way books give another large underdog # that we saw with warriors vs mavs; plus it was on tv.
Fridays always so random but i always end up playing something anyway.
Does bulls thrashing hornets give you confidence they can defend the #1 team in FG percentages? heats got shooters, they have to go cold for them not to cover 2 possessions. jimmy home coming if you like those angles.
Don't really trust wizards being large favorites, i always remember that doesn't turn out well.
Figured Nets would cover last game given i liked hornets, going kings this time around. Still don't trust that team vs a team that's cashed in 6 of their last 8. West coast to east coast no problem for them. Kings just playing well even without fox.
got spurs at +8, that game is on ESPN. spurs get crushed by shooters, embiid can pump fake at the 3 line all he wants.Comment -
Hawks.
Comment -
I see Embiid on the block wearing out Aldridge. On the other end Simmons a good option to handle DeRozan.
Tomorrow night's Philly game is more interesting to me, with Butler back in town. HEAT are one of those small teams that don't have anyone to deal with Embiid ...Celtics discovered how hard that was on opening night. A lot of people will be anticipating a Butler revenge game like he had vs the T'Wolves.Comment -
I was waiting on bogdanovic to be out so i can play nets and he was but i added on spurs plus 7...damn... ga e it back...drove my ladies to Memphis to watch Lakers Memphis tomorrow.. a lot of people going so not great seats..already a bit drunk lol
Comment -
shoulda paid attention to bog status smh. spurs i mean shiet, they probably lose to knicks also(no way spurs lose another one, no way i can trust the knicks; but they actually playing well, lol).
no baynes still, probably no rubio; banged up rubio didn't prove to help much. you have teague, wiggins and towns. towns the difference maker here. line dropped 6.5 to 5.5, people still riding suns? think you bang twolves here.
magic line -8 to -7, no vucevic and that boy sabonis is a problem, i don't see how well magic do getting boards. the -7 looks good.Comment -
I think the Blazers wrap up their trip with a win. They have long played well in Chicago, dating back to the Roy/ Aldridge days. Lillard & McCollum will "will" them to victory if Anthony doesn't penetrate thing up.
Sixers back in action. This a complicated one; a playoff re-match but the Raptors are no longer considered the superior team with Leonard in LA. They still have a super-star in Siakam, but missing Lowry & Ibaka. Think the Sixers keep it rolling here because of the sentimental angle and them having sentimental players (Embiid at least) on their team.Comment -
I agree with both.. I think Raps will be popular dog here but Sixers are tough and play down to their opponents..I like their matchups and blazers have 2 out of 3 best players on the court.. Stotts birthday today too might try extra hard to get that W..
Also like the Kings + 7.. Celtics are good but without Kemba and Hayward for a while I like Kings here.. They missed a lot of threes last night..If they hit some they can hang.. They already beat them like week ago and that was a bit lucky but I think 7 might be too much...
Kinda like Hawks but they are unpredictable, Jazz seems getting way too many points but Bucks seem to cover every game.. Spurs I dont know anymore with that team, but I did play them first time at home vs Lakers and had good game but Lakers were too much down the stretch.. Cavs should be good play since Nets played lot and won some without Levert and Irving but I can feel cavs make some dumb plays down the stretch....Comment -
Philla doesn't have anyone now to put the ball in the hands on the perimeter.. Harris is good but he cant take you there.. Embiid is still a center and you need a guard to run the show.. simmons is hiding and had crucial turnover in the fast break yesterday..not sure how they lost, I saw the end when they couldnt get a bucket but didn't watch the whole game..Comment -
Yep, no closer. Embiid shut down by Gasol, Harris fading late as he often does.
Watching Embiid go against Gasol reminds me of Shaq vs Sabonis those first couple years the later was in Portland. Relying upon size/ strength to score is absolutely fine until you meet someone the same size.Comment -
I really like clippers to cover here.. I think this will be lets get to the ground call for Mavs..they are good and Doncic is insane...But I think Clippers will only get better..They got few games in full squad, working on their rotations and I expect them to make life hard on mavs.. whoever they switch on perimeter on doncic with kawhai PG harkless luka will have to hit a lot of step backs and I dont think he will as easily get into the paint.. even beverly when is on him after some switching.. they close out on shooters they should be fine... I dont see Mavs having enough to score with them... Line is now -2.5 I believe... Not sure what to think of Wizards game..Suns didnt cover last one and played good in first half and had a lead and couldnt cover 11... wizards can score but their defense is not good....Comment -
You seem to be in form lately. GLComment -
I like Wizards hereComment -
Easy win by clippers, mavs were really never in the game..clipps will be scary goodComment -
Haven't bet anything yet wanted to hear some thoughts.. Couple games I am looking and thinking..
Jazz ML vs Pacers - 2 very solid teams that dont beat themselves on most of the nights.. Pacers at home are something won like 7 out of 9 and play great although last 2 games their defense suffered a bit. Utah hit like 20 3's vs Bucks and still lost since Giannis had 50.. Bogdanovic against his old squad.. Jazz havent been impressive on the road but somehow I get the feeling they get it done on tough road test here.. Mitchell can take over game at any point and with their defense and hot shooting lately I like their chances here.
Spurs(-2.5) vs Wolves - They beat lousy knicks and lost to Lakers after but played very solid game for 3 quarters..Even pop said they did a lot of good things. Belineli hit some shots last couple and Mills as well. I like White in starting unit.. DD and LA were productive and efficient and if they can keep that up others should follow. Wolves moved Teague to bench and that showed last game vs Hawks but they were down 10 at the half. I remember I liked spurs first game in Minny when they couldn't stop Wolves at all so here is chance for rematch. They need to closeout on shooters in this game and they should be fine I think.
Pelicans(+6) and ML at 3.2 vs Lakers - Lakers are red hot and just play good ball now, have too much talent but Pels get up for big matches on TV and expect really Ingram Ball and Hart if in to try to show Lakers and Davis that they can hoop. Whole Pelicans team should be up for this game and they can put up points in a hurry. Their defense is suspicious sometimes but their willing moment should be there tonight. Bron and Lakers will try to win for Davis as well but Lakers won a lot of matches, got passed by Memphis at the end and then played tough one in San Antonio.. They could be a bit flat here to start the game and Pels should gain confidence..
Blazers(-2.5) vs Thunder - Line dropped a bit and I don't want to overreact on 1 win for Blazers in Chicago but this team always had great home record. They did lose some defensive players in Harkless and Aminu and they are still searching but I think Melo will continue decent display on offense. He is gaining confidence with each game since teams will still focus on CJ and Dame.. He got a bunch open shots and at home he should be fired up.I think Thunder played at top of their game and are like 6-10 and Blazers probably on lower side and are 6-11..Hood Baze and Simons should provide some spark off the bench to match Shroeder and Labas has been playing very well.. First game home can be tricky after road trip but I think they win here when OKC luckily escaped loss in GS 2 nights ago..
Have maybe some other leans but looking into these for now... Good luckComment -
Funny little tidbit from the Indy matchup... Day before the Fra/ USA QF of the WC Turner said to the media Gobert is supposedly the DPOY. Gobert's teammates relayed this somewhat innocuous quote to Rudy, and the next day Gobert dominated his matchup with Turner ...and USA were eliminated. Going to be a heated battle on the interior
