Yes. I don't cap games for half a point here or there. Altough ten in a key number in the nba that I love, I'll never say "Buy the hook" because I need it to win a bet. 

Apparently the squares have bet the Knicks down yet again from 10.5 last night to 10 this morning. This has happened every single time I've posted the Knicks and also has happened in every recent game I've noted above.

Just so we get a bet amount approximately

Being afraid of LBJ is always legitimate, but any team can say that any game. Remember, he didn't play his last game so this is a comeback game (always good spot to fade) but the Heat have been winning with and without him.

The point is, every game the Heat are out for blood against other teams and especially the Knicks but haven't fared well against the Knicks losing 4 of 6 ATS in the last 6 (which should raise eyebrows).

3 stars only because Iman is out. If Iman was in, this line wouldn't be any different and it would be 4.5 stars. But he would make a big difference in the box score.

on time as usual getting 10 here



That shows how much you actually know about me being a homer about the Knicks.

My past 6 write-ups have been:

2 Knicks
1 Kings
2 Lakers 

That's 3 of 5 postings that WEREN'T the Knicks, and in one of the postings i FADED the Knicks in favor of the Lakers. 

On time he says as though I'm attracted by the points. When my last two posts had the Knicks getting 5.5 and 1.5. Run along kid, you are wrong on everything you type.

I believe 1st half/halftime bets are the devil's work as are quarters. They are just another permutation of a regular side (the best bet) to get you money and have you possibly chasing or doubling down on the second half.

Heat have a totally different look to them lately and are making that late season push. saying the heat are 5-10 ats measn nothing as heat had little interest in early season games, as evident to their defensive effort. Lebron wants that mvp as well. Good luck on ur play tho. i will pull for ya.

It's not just in early season games. It's throughout the entire season, scattered generously. Go look. It's on this site and it is relevant.

just one minor comment, whats with the prigioni hate? i mean hes old and slower but u seen what that fool used to do overseas? haha and when he decides to put up the 3 hes been hitting it way more recently.
Havent bet on my knicks in a long time, locking it in as soon as i can, possibly 1h... GL all, nice writeup

Prig- love his heart and at times his play (he can hit a three as you said when necessary, although he missed a huge one in the Memphis game to win it,  and he can handle the ball) but he is awful on switches which happens often...

Three of 5 stars but only because Iman is out. If Iman was in it would be 5 stars and we'd be getting the same line.

Remember Knicks can't guard the three so if the Heat hit them late they can cover the number. But I don't make a post like this with my time and energy having something like that happen in the end.

Heat Up between 7-15 with 2:30 to go and a throw of the dice...

In Knicks-land every single game is important despite them losing 3 of 3. They had a 13 pt lead, a 17 pt lead and a possession to win it against the Mavs. They are playing hard as hell. And we don't have to win this game, only keep it close...

 The Heat? I don't think the Heat really care either way whether they are a one or two seed. They know they can win anywhere in their minds. 27 in a row proves that with the bulk of the core.

The only positive I can see for the knicks is that there playing the champs and if they could get off to a good start they may feel like they have a chance to compete but if there confidence gets shaken at some point I think they will fade like fart in a wind storm...

 

That's being said, 10' is a lot of points and anything can happen late... I will look for a in game line on the heat

Thx for your imput


You could say that first paragraph when the Heat play anyone on any night and you will find yourself NEVER betting against them and possibly always backing them.

There isn't much to focus on with the heat. They are great as usual.

dont worry, you can put two identical pictures in front of these naysayers and they'll still sit there for hours convincing you how you're wrong and there's differences you aren't seeing

Interesting write up. I disagree that lebron james is the greatest player of this generation. Firstly.. when does the generation start? Because I was following nba in the 90s and jordan was the greatest, so I consider jordan the greatest of the generation. If the generation is by decade, then thats also wrong because lebron james was not at his best in the 00's decade and the 10's decade is not halfway through, meaning another player could surpass him.

Sorry to nitpick but he's only been great for two years.. durant will overtake him, maybe this year.
