Couple thoughts on the games

[IBetYou]

Bro+8 ...4-1-1 in their past 6 and annoyingly I bet them in the loss. Playing well. Dinwiddie, Prince... Temple & Shumpert are providing elite wing defense while Allen protects the paint.

Ind-2.5 ...strong team at home even without Oladipo. Their smash mouth basketball ought to trump the 1 in 4 out style of the Jazz -Sabonis too big & strong for O'neale. Warren will shut down Bojan.

Phi-9.5 ...kings have been scorching the earth but on the back end of a 4 game trip and the Sixers need to redeem themselves.

IBetYou, hello old friend.

Hello pal, have you been betting NBA lately?

I agree with Philly, can see kings folding, Bogdan has some hamstring problem and if Hield is not hitting his shots they might pack this one early...

Nets..they are playing well I agree and Kemba is back for Celtics..Boston played some tougher matches and 8 should be enough but Celtics just playing very well together too...

Indy we do disagree.. on paper Indy should maybe win but I dont see Warren shutting down anyone lol... Indy does have balanced offense and their key is Sabonis.. I think this could go to the wire and might actually end up taking 2.5 points... good luck

Thanks. You're wrong about Warren though! He has become an elite defender imo -didn't take Nate McMillan long to get that out of him hey? Bojan is a legit NBA star but I think Warren is a bit better. Good matchups across the board. Turner/ Sabonis vs Gobert. Brogdon vs Mitchell -Pacers are high on the kid A.Holiday, so they slide Brogdon to the two at times.

Could be I never took him seriously for defense but he is in the team that cares now and he could always score.. I haven't watched that many their games this season but yeah both Holidays playing decent for them..

[IBetYou]

I remember Bojan was known as a soft defender in Brooklyn. McMillan changed that, and now he's doing the same with Warren. Has all the tools for it; strong body, quick feet. Pacers need strong guard play. That's the only hangup for me -Brogdon has only been back one game and the backcourt rotation is a bit muddled.

[europe_baller]

Line dropping... now -1.5.. Hmmmm I liked it more at 2.5

Means Gobert is playing, I think. No official report yet.

I like Brooklyn aswell

[europe_baller]

Kemba and celtics too much down the stretch and allen missed bunch of fts.. philla didnt cover and was up by 17 like 7:40 to go ..indy solid team really and utah pretty bad on the road

[IBetYou]

Glass man Davis is injured in his return to Nawlins. How fitting is that? Leaving it to James to rescue the Lakers.

[IBetYou]

Zach Zarber what a crook. This coach's review thing has exposed him a few times now -doing it in crunch time of a TV game now.

[europe_baller]

Any thought for early game or other? I will look into them now...

[IBetYou]

Nets are worth another crack i think, in the early game.

[europe_baller]

I thought you would play them again.. i am talking myself into taking them as well.. they are getting production from a different players and at home they should be able to stay in the game.. they shot like 56 threes last game and hit 21.. allen is too deep in the paint though and kemba getting mid range jumpers all the time..they have to slow down tatum and brown a bit..

[IBetYou]

They opened at +3.5. Now +4.5. Market tends to pound the form team.

[IBetYou]

Very toxic atmosphere in the last one -rather like KP's return to NY. I think it had an effect. Think Nets want this a bit more.

[europe_baller]

Yeah i played them 4.5 and some one ML..lets gooo

[europe_baller]

So far i like

Suns ML - I think they play good game at home and take this W.. if they move the ball I dont see mavs defending well enough to stop them on the road. Baynes should be back and he will give them some toughness.. Rubio is in as well..I can see Oubre making some silly fouls on Doncic but he will be up for challenge and competes always..

Pels +4 and ML vs OKC - like i said last time Okc will win some games but they had good schedule played some home games and pels are getting better each game. I think they can win this one on the road after they let lakers game slip away when they were better team for like 42 mins of the game..

[europe_baller]

I am also looking at the knick +6.5

No horford and I just dont like what I see from them atm.. this means rook Thybulle will be in the lineup and I like him.. they play better with him but still.. Knicks can compete here and were already in the game on the road vs them..

Not sure why Raps are only -4.. they are killing me every time I bet against them.. not sure if hawks can keep it close vs good pacers team...

[IBetYou]

Got a bit of help with Theis going down. Makes up for Richardson going down in the Philly game yesterday!

Agree on Knicks. Think the Festive spirit will be good for them and the Bulls -although think i'll pass on the Bulls.

[IBetYou]

Read that coach Boylen held a Thanksgiving day practice after the debacle in San Fransisco -good idea! Don't like their team though. Dunn is a mug, LaVine too weak, Coby White isn't all that, Markkanen not being used properly.

[europe_baller]

Yeah just cant bet them now in Portland..but yeah I wouldnt bet on Portland covering that line..maybe if i want action later i will bet bulls..

[europe_baller]

Knicks +6.5 small ML
Hawks +10.5
Pelicans +4
Suns +2.5 and ML some

Clippers now -5.5..not sure how spurs can hang but they beat raps last year when Kawhai came in town.. line says spurs imo what i have seen - clipps..

[IBetYou]

Spurs got 5pts vs the Lakers and failed to cover that. Seems like a lost season for them. All v.well if you have Harden or Lillard on your team, you can turn it around but DeRozan isn't on that level, and I think Aldridge has quit -last season he was going off for 40pts on a regular basis but now they only get his weak defense.

Conflicted on Phoenix game. Rubio only played 25mins previously. I'm wary of teams getting healthy, and ready to win again, with momentum since past. Mavs have gone 1-6 ATS in this matchup the past two years, but the Nowitzki era is over.

I can see the Hawks covering but it's contingent upon Parker staying out of foul trouble (vs Sabonis).

What's up with the Thunder? Other teams catching up?

Knicks ATS we agree

[europe_baller]

Haha I know we agree on few things but yeah I can see other teams catching up on Thunder, Adams playing on minutes restriction for a while..Baynes will play 20 mins too but I think they can pull it off...

[europe_baller]

Can magic pull it off? Line would say it is very possible.. Raptors are killing it and Vucevic is out and still only 3.5.. Gordon is in which is good..

[europe_baller]

Also spurs going 4/27 for three dont have much to do with LA but i do think they are not as good...

[IBetYou]

Isaac is the big story in Orlando. If he can match Siakam they can win.

[europe_baller]

Isaac is the big story in Orlando. If he can match Siakam they can win.

Oh yeah.. he is a monster on defensive end..and getting better on offense as well

[RavensFan2k3]

This is one of the better threads on the board. I to liked Atlanta (I know it already started). I too like Phoenix

[eddycash]

I hope u guys are right tonight.

[IBetYou]

101-95 we did it! ...we survived the stupid fouls and the sloppy turnovers and screwy coaching decisions for the 0.5pt cover

[europe_baller]

Knicks should have won that game straight up but philla shot 40 fts.. embiid down the stretch and steal by simmons.. they were lucky to cover almost in the end... wtf happened to pels..up 1 with the ball 1:30 to go and dont score a single point and okc covers..ughhhh
