consider it done

I kind of like the raptors here I guessssssss, buttttt...!

I like the rockets to beat the bobcats easily, and I like the cavs to keep it close vs utah or win straight up.

im going with utah -5.5 today

Any reason why? I'm interested to hear ur thoughts

first of all as much as i like this new cleveland team i dont think they are yet at the level of utah who is playing home (so far great home team)
Also i think they gonna have problems with Jefferson and throw in one medicore quarter and its game over.

edit: yeah main reason would be Jefferson and they cant stop him

I've tried using the 'they can't stop X player' theory and it just doesn't hold true often enough to make it the basis for a bet. Example: Orlando @ DET a week ago. How can DET stop dwight? How can anyone stop dwight? They shouldn't be able to, but it's done all the time through double-teaming and proper defensive sets.

I think you are right about Utah being @ home making that a nice advantage for them with them being undefeated though. I'm trying to see online why the line went from 5.5 to 6.5 almost immediately around thirty minutes ago but I can't see any injuries for the Cavs. I'd guess big money just hit utah so that's nice for you giving you the better line than the majority. The thing is, I think the home court/current 4-0 record @ home is already factored into the betting line so that kind of makes that analysis moot since the majority of people betting utah are doing it for the exact same reason as you (home court 4-0 so far)

yeah i know these are just numbers and statistic bets but every season i try to look as many games as i can and players and when i looked at today's games i just didnt see what cleveland has that can give them victory. Ofcourse you can get some very nice lines based on current form (and not history or players playing better on certain courts/towns against some bigger teams)

fair enough duud, gl!

"NBA 2011-2012 Thread"?
More like "Toronto Raptors jinx Thread" :/

i like lakers and 76s to win on road today. hornets/okc game o184 w/ durant going over 33.5 pts+reb

^ lakers bet big trap game no idea but gl. sixers looks ok. I think on paper philly should rape the knicks, but they have a lot of momentum and this game could easily go to the wire and Melo might cover the spread in the 4th by himself. philly's bench is so good though so we'll see. hornets/okc seems like an easy under, and I like the hornets there a lot. hornets play okc well, and at home they will limit the thunder to way less points than they are used to. Also, hornets are a deeper team even though OKC is better, and I think Kaman should be more than enough to keep okc from slashing up the paint
