We made some good loot doing this in the WNBA tailing the hot hand (and ahem, fading the cold one) so here we go...

2015-2016 NBA Contest

Rules: Max of 1 play per day, no minimum plays per week BUT must make at least 25 plays by the end of NBA Finals to qualify as Champion. No live betting, no ML higher than -110, no buying points, use available lines and totals at exact time of post (no “I got this line last night”). So basically ATS and totals, team totals 1st qtr, 1st half, full game and 2nd half, player props all good to go. Champion will receive a “2015-1016 NBA Forum Champion” t shirt provided by me, maybe a hat too depending how much we make tailing haha. May the best Capper win!

Thus far here are the contestants, please feel free to put your name in the hat anytime as long as you will be able to hit the 25 minimum plays by end of playoffs:

Charlotte -2.5 for me as it seems like an early start time on MLK is a great spot for Hornets to get off the chnide against a Jazz team that has been known to struggle offensively and hopefully won't find Cha defense as porous as last 2 games vs. Sac and Lakers, cmon batum show up for your old Blazer's fan and handle the Jazz! also seems like a lot of solid cappers were on Cha -6 2 nights ago vs. Bucks when they crapped the bed, maybe they were 1 game off

Blazers +2.5 first half

they just lost to the 76ers and there is a very favourable bounce back trend for Portland here. Teams that lose to Philly have kept it within a spread of 2.5 in the first half, going 17-4 since the 14-15 season.

StraightWagers I like the idea and would like to join in the contest. This will motivate me to post in the NBA section as i did in previous seasons. I won't open my threads so i will post in this one.

FunkFreaker

2015-2016 NBA Contest
0-0-0 ATS

Pick for 18th January (MLK Day):

Dallas Mavericks + 1.5 (-110)

Small writeup:

Even on b2b i can't see how Mavs are dogs to Celtics at home. Rick Carlisle split the minutes of his rooster last night when he saw that the game will be complete fiasco for his team. So the important figures here won't be tired as most of the cappers think. Mavs play better at home and they own the Celtics recently. 6 wins in a row (H and A) and 5 consecutive at home against this opponent.

BOL. I already place bet on Hornets to cover tonight as well so i like your pick.

SportsRefund and FunkFreaker good luck and FF thanks for the write-up! When we made loot in the WNBA contest those that gave short write-ups tended to rise to the top and were easier to tail

keep signing up folks, Oz and I will put results on a spreadsheet and post everyday with new thread
