NBA Picks for Thurs, Dec. 14

Frosty, nice call with the Jazz! I disagree with you, though, about the depth issue! I think they do have the depth, but they are just not getting it done! You are right about them being a banged up team! (shit every team is banged up; most of these guys act like little pussies night in and night out; this shit didn't happen before the 90's; a guy has a hangnail and he's out for a week; it's all about the MONEY!) I keep believing the Clips are going to turn the switch on any day now, but they are not doing it (and probably b/c they have no continuity right now). Anyway, it's time for a PUNCHOUT:

GOLDEN STATE -4 (PUNCHOUT)

  1. Also going with:

    CHARLOTTE +3.5

    I finally won two close ones in the same day! Mark this one down b/c we may not see that happen again this year! Phoenix just cruised through the fourth quarter (went over 6 minutes without scoring a single point) as the game was already in hand, and I snuck in the back door cover (finally got one!). The Mavs won a close one as well (for early bettors), but they had that number covered for most of the fourth. I'm still waiting, though, for one of my teams to make a 60 ft. three pointer at the buzzer to cover a spread (and oh yeah, I've been screwed by that more than once). That would put a huge smile on my face!

  2. JDelt- Told ya' about the Clippers! I feel for ya' on the back door covers! I didn't place my bets till late because of work and ended up getting backdoored on both the Suns and the Mavs! Couldn't believe it! Who the hell is Quinn from ND for Miami- I hate ND and his brother Brady and now I have a bitter taste in my mouth from him last night! Did you see the shots that guy was making! RiCockulous!!

    I'll be back later for my picks. Early leans:

    San Antonio -7

    Golden State -4.5 (Warriors need this game before they go on a six game road trip)

  4. The fox shall strike again tonight. Go with Orlando Magic -2. Smells like a trap but only reason line is that low is to get sharp money on the bobcats. The Magic will take care of business!

    GL!

  5. Don't like the slate at all tonight but will make two smaller than normal plays:

    Golden State (-4 --> bought the hook): TMac Factor. Books have yet to fully adjust the lines because Houston's lineup is deeper but in a week or so we'll be begging for lines this low against Houston. Bottom line, they can't win without TMac. Might also play the first quarter line here, whatever it is.

    Orlando / Charlotte - Under 181. Both teams are capable of putting up one or two 15-18 points quarters. I don't see both teams scoring in the 90s. Orlando has 3 starters out and Charlotte is plain bad. Under is the play here. Don't mess with the sides.

    GL whatever you are on.

  7. I have one NBA play tonight I'm advocating.

    ROLL WITH ME ON HOUSTON/ GSTATE under 198.

    Obvious with the star talent out..but I'm going with a quote I read in the Houston paper.

    Head coach of the Rockets:

    "In order to be competitive without TMac in our lineup, we really have to step up our defense and look for set plays to the interior game. I can't see us winning games right now where our opponents score 100 or more points."

    I'll see if this holds true tonight.

    ROLL WITH ME ON UNDER 198

    GL fellas.

  8. I don't like tonight's slate either! But, I have to bet on something besides the shitty football game on tonight!

    Three team Parlay:

    ORlando -2

    San Antonio -7.5

    Golden State -4.5

    Going with all three favorites! I'm also laying the pipe on Golden State. I really think that they are going to come out and kick Houston's arrrsss without TMac!
