Well, I guess there is no sense in taking the Hawks now.

Live on the edge, Hawks-7

Like that Jazz play, and TWolves may not even have 5 guys healthy to start. Spurs run them out of the building.

BOL LC

Feel much better now, not cuz him being out but I was wondering why the Hawks line just went from -6.5 to -7.5. Figured there's no way I was on the wrong side but the injury clears up the line move. Thanks

Do not over think.. keep it in mind..

Detroit = Bad road team.
Atlanta = strong home team + keeping their 8th seed. ATLANTA = HOTLANTA in home games.

Atlanta -6 :-) BOL

LC I thought you were going to consider playoff motivation or motivation in general when making your picks? 

My gut reaction was similar to yours and that this is a great letdown spot for Hawks, but with the playoff race so close I cannot see ATL having a mental letdown.  

Also, DAL almost lost to lowly Kings and were down 1H against the Lakers and I feel like they will come out with a tremendous amount of energy.  

I didn't bet the spreads for these game, but wondering if you considered any of this.

Thanks for all your input.

Most definitely. In my original post I said if this was any other team besides the Pistons it would be a 4 unit play. Because they are a non-playoff team with little motivation, I kept it small. However, I wouldn't lay off strictly because Pistons are the Pistons, ATL is in that bad of a spot today for me to pass it up.

As for Dallas, why would they come out with tremendous amount of energy? They are in the final leg of a road trip (all previous wins) and have the Spurs, Grizzlies, and Suns on deck. This is a tough spot for them. Yes they NEED to win this game, but as I stated in another thread, large favorites in must-win games is a big no-no

Very solid read. With you on this play. Thoughts on Jazz? Should have a comeback game after that massacre vs Warriors? What other angle do you have?

I guess Mavs have been bad at closing out games and seem like they're holding onto leads instead of increasing them towards the end of games haha

San Antonio easily.....F#ck Timberwolves they are a let down especially in the 2nd half....Won money with you before but lost a couple too and this is one you might want to rethink. Bol

Where those haters at now? All you clowns (perhaps bookies?) who criticize him feel free to chime in why you think he's bad after you see his solid logic and correct reads.

Yea, a lot of pple make this mistake in football thinking the other team has "nothing to play for."  It's awfully difficult beating another professional team with nothing to lose.
