NBA: 164-110-6
This Week: 8-6-1
YTD: 1-4


Boston (Still waiting for the line)
Denver (Still waiting for the line)
Phoenix -12

My late plays went 0-3. I really shouldn't have tried running after plays now. Anyway, the last game of the season and time to take advantage of these three teams. First up, Boston against the visiting Nets. Doc Rivers said that he'll be resting Rondo and will be playing the Big Three here tonight. Though it'll be on limited minutes (which means the 1H play looks pretty tempting), Boston is still Boston and they've proven that they can win even with the bench. Memphis will be sent back home crying tonight as they'll visit a Nuggets team that is looking for their 50th win tonight. Coach George openely said that there will be no resting for the Nuggets tonight. Expect this game to be another blow out as the sorry Grizzlies will be ending the season with an injured Milicic and Miller. Phoenix will more or less be playing for the fans tonight. When things like that happen, bad things usually happen to their opponent. Portland is a good team too bad they'll be facing a Phoenix team who is looking for a better spot in the play-offs.

I like how you are thinking when it comes to the Suns. 
What do you think about a Suns 1H bet?  Shaq usually gets all fired up for big games when he knows people will be paying attention.

im also liking denver but i think my local wont offer that odds!!! IMO, everytime george carl says something that will boost his team, it will surely win. just my experience in the whole season!!!

anyway what do you think of toronto, bro? it seems odd that bulls are being favored by 6.5! i think bosh will have a limited minutes as well for their upcoming facing orlando in the 1st round.

If Dallas wins earlier in the night, will Denver play play as hard?

I think it'll be Suns -7.5 at the Half. I like this play but I don't think I'd wager on it myself. Been not so lucky with Halfs or Quarter plays but IMO it's a really good play. Suns will pretty much be up and running early and with the help of the fans, they'll put up a good win here tonight.

Nice hit over our local hoops man! You probably should start on an online account man. I know a pretty decent one in the Philippines. It's based in Orient Square in Pasig. Anyway, it's quite wierd of you ask me. Yahoo sports opened the line with Chicago as a 1 point favorite. Here's from a Yahoo article:

Knowing who their opponent is renders Toronto’s game in Chicago on Wednesday inconsequential. However, as meaningless as it may be, Mitchell said last night he expects to use his regulars at least a little bit.

“I’ll probably split the time up but I’m going to play everybody,” he said. “You can’t simulate a game in practice. We need to make sure we’re healthy and rested but not lose our timing.”

I think Toronto is still a nice play here. The reason why I'm not playing Toronto is because of its inconsistency as of late. We all know how bad Chicago but we will be twice as confused as to what splitting the time for everybody means.

Goodluck tonight pat! I see you're liking the opposite of my Pho play.

Taking what George Karl said. I think Denver will be playing hard regardless of the outcome in the Dallas game. They are shooting for 50 and I think part of the reason here is that they own a 2-1 Season Series and getting into a tie with Dallas would give them the 7th spot. Personally, I don't think it'd benefit Denver in any way. They have a not so good record against top teams that has a chance to be their opponent in the first round.

No play for me. It should open as NO+1 or a pk. The risk factor playing side here is a bit high for me. I can barely get any news from both team and so I can't tell which team is bringing it on tonight. New Orleans decided to play yesterday and trampled over the Clippers. Dallas on the other hand needs this win to lock on to the 7th spot. If you have any good insights just drop by in this thread man. I'm seriously not liking this game.

Byron Scott came out on the air after their domination of the L.A. Clippers last night and explained that if the Lakers clinched the West last night (which they did) he would only play his starters about 20 minutes tonight. 

New Orleans has locked up this second spot and really has nothing to play for tonight and could find it worthwhile to rest their starters tonight (like Coach Scott said). Dallas however is at home with Stackhouse back tonight and Howard's knee feeling good. The Mavericks are desperately trying to lock up the 7th spot in the Western Conference and do not want to see the Lakers in the first round and would much rather play the Hornets.

The only other way the Mavericks can lock up the 7th spot tonight is if the Nuggets lose to the Grizzlies, which will not happen tonight as they are also trying to steal away the 7th spot.

So I expect the Mavericks with their full squad tonight to play as hard as they have all season and to pull out a potential killing of the Hornets. I am looking to be all over the Mavs tonight.

I've read your post man. Let's just say that I'm one of those people who still believe that the NBA is not fixed. I think Phoenix wouldn't mind who'll they be playing in the first round. Thanks for the heads up man and Goodluck here tonight. BTW, wouldn't POR ML be more profitable if PHO's bound to lose tonight.

I think it's the other way around. Dallas has been playing the Lakers neck-to-neck in their last few games this season. Most of the games are decided by a basket or two only. They'd rather face them instead of this New Orleans team that can play them harder. Anyway, knowing that Byron Scott will only play his starters for about 20 minutes scares me.

I think there are only five games available made by the locals. So far I like IND-6, TOR-6.5 and PHO-12. I'd say please bet with caution here. It's pretty scary if you're wagering on Phoenix and gets screwed with the infos in GMONEY's thread. Anyway, goodluck tonight man!

Minnesota looks good too. I think they're far more better than Milwaukee but I don't see them as a covering machine yet. But if you check them out, they're playing good basketball.

Hey Monster, I think you meant Toronto @ +6.5, which I liked too when I saw it. Hmm, so far leaning on Toronto and Boston, possibly Orlando -5 at home.
