I love the Atlanta line.  Jamal Crawford and Joe Johnson will be on a scoring spree!

Bulls will be shorthanded because of the Thomas and Salmons trades. 

Cavs- Bobcats play everyone tough.

atl hasn't hit over 202 this year, and pho has gone under last 5 or 6.

I'd usually wait to lay on a underdog line like ATL but I only see this line getting worse for ATL not better ... I might bet 1 unit on it now

Johnnybad, I was off the forum today.

I had
Syracuse
Citadel
Florida Atlantic
Parlayed Portland and St. Mary
Eastern Washington

Wisconsin
Southern Alabama

Not too shabby. Thought about pulling the trigger for denver / celtics (just liked the underdogs today in the nba) but couldn't pull the trigger.


How was ur day?

I am liking
Denver -6.5
Cavs -4
Bucks PK
Leaning towards
Bulls -2.5

I don't like betting on Atlanta Hawks, I been to their games, but that team is sort of inconsistent day and out.

My record speaks for itself. I make money everyday. YOur right though these three plays are square bets however I handicapped them myself and didn't bet off the public.

Hater

Plus I started this thread to find out input on the ATL game which isn't a square play. Go hate on someone with a record like yours

Good run!
I just took Denver -6 bought half pt
Wizards look horrible, and even back to back road game for Denver team can take on these scrubs. Hopefully.

I would be rushing ot the tickect window to place a bet on the Haws right now as they have turned a what has been a very consistent season into a very inconsistent season pretty damn quick going 6-4su and 5-5ats in their last 10 games and looking like they could be in the prime spot of a middle season let down. I would be on the Suns at home before i would even take a look at the Hawks in this one as streaks are being followed thru right now in NBA as opposed to coming to haults...

 

Just my 2 sense

I hate betting on the hawks, don't know if the hot hawks or the lackadaisical hawks will come out.

Took the spurs at -3 against the sixers. Solid team vs. a team that wants to rebound. I don't see the spurs losing this one.

Spur -3 seems to be the general consensus... I'll take a closer look and maybe lay one down.... I'm working the next couple days and won't be posting my threads... however I will be breifly getting on here to check out the top plays of the day so to speak.... I usually work  12 hour days and get 3 days off when I can be a full time degenerate

I layed 1 unit on the spurs after buying .5 point to bring it to -3. I'm going to bed for a couple days

They've done it nearly or more than 20 times.

Remember J. CRAWFORD's last sec shot to beat the suns a month ago?  I feel the suns get up for this game and take advantage of a hawks team that just started their west coast trip. Coming off beating up on the worthless clippers plus 3 and a half looks good.  Most of the time i would take 3 and a half because it looks cheap but in this case i feel the line should be smaller at about 2, 2 and a half.
