Hello to those who follow..
Picks (no leans - no time - no write up during the day - but can explain pick upon request):
Orlando -2*** and OrlandoAtlanta Under 187
Stan Van Gundy is upset with his team's defense, lost 6 of 7 or something like that, and giving up a lot of points along the way. I was betting on them last game against Philly, and got screwed because of the trades, believing they were going to go hard and set the tone for their next few games before christmas. It will be tonight against the hawks, who won't have jamal crawford.
Utah ML*** and Utah/Cleveland Over 198***
Utah will win tonight, and I don't know how the cavs are going to come out so I don't want to bet the spread. When a team loses 10 games in a row, it leaves a reallllly bad taste in their mouths. So when that finally gets a win, it's very possible that they will be motivated to not go back. Now, I can't say that Cleveland is that type of team, but I also can't say for sure that they will come out hard. Either way, I don't see this as any kind of defensive game whatsoever.
Miami/Dallas Under 190.5**
I just picture this as like a really intense high school game, where the crowd is constantly buzzing and cheering and booing and woww-ing.. It will be a very intense game with emotions running high. I look at this game like as if it were a chess match. Neither team knows exactly what they need to do to pull out a victory, so with that said, I dont think they will too offensive-minded, but rather a little more reserved. Each team knows what the other team is capable of offensively. They're both powerhouses. But which team can defend better? That's the question of the day. And I think that these two squads are going into tonight with that kind of mindset - where they know that defense will win tonight's game.
Spurs -11.5*** Over 213*
I think the Spurs will beat the Suns by 20+ tonight. Phoenix has covered 7 of their last 8 against the spurs, and the only cover by the spurs was with a 2 point win as a 1 point favorite. The Suns have had the Spurs' number in the past few years. But this "rivalry" is no longer a rivalry once the Suns lost Amare. It's now the Spurs that will start a streak of their own against Phx. I like the spurs ats, but the over all depends on how many points the suns will put up. I am pretty confident that the Spurs will put up at least 110 or something, but that also means that if you want to cover the -11.5 and the over 213, the spurs need to score at least 113 and the suns 101. If you think the suns will reach the 100 point mark tonight, then the over should be a bet.
Portland/Milwaukee Under 180**
I had this at Under 185*** before the line even came out, and I was hoping I would catch it early, but 180 is damnnn low. I still think it goes under.
That's all for now..
