Our bet was on the kings being favored (which they never were) not if they won

I'll forgive the $10,000 debt....just this once.

At 1.5 and even 1 in some places yes.

It is a 50 win pacer team and lance Stephenson ALONE is better than every Knick after Melo.

And he comes to play in NY.

This is a very big game so the Knicks will take some leads and the crowd will be amped. That will be in their favor.

But time and time and time again, unless they blow the doors off teams like they've done in these previous 6, against really what is "Tank City", they can't hold big leads.

They better blow the doors off the pacers like BB said or else the Pacers will come back. 

I'd much rather have them lost the Bucks game and end that winning streak to back the Knicks tonight. it's too much too soon.

This is still Raymond Felton. This is still JR Smith. This is still Pablo Prigioni. This is still a very poor bench. This is still a team that can't play D and can't guard the 3. 

The wins over the lowest of the low mask all that. 

Look at their last 21 of each. Pacers are 14-7 SU. Knicks are 8-13 SU.

But because the Knicks won 6 in a row against: wolves, Cavs, jazz, celtics, Sixers, bucks, the Knicks have the pacers "right where they want them."


I said it before. The Knicks haven't beaten a team over .500 in over two months.

The Pacers, of their 17 losses, have only lost to 4 sub .500 teams
ALL YEAR.

ATS is out the window with a line of 1.5. This is the real world and the spread world dissipates when there is no real spread. 

So they didn't cover either game against the Sixers in a home and home...?

The Knicks didn't cover against the Sixers either and were tied at the half with them too!


We tend to get amnesia when we prefer a certain side.

I love it, Scal. A good capper knows when to fade his team and this is the right spot, as far as what you see. Great line, against a much better team that will be motivated to beat the Knicks. The only problem I see here (after watching 3 or 4 Pacers games in the last month) is that there is something wrong with this team, chemistry wise. They have no leader, or one leader; not even their coach. They lead by committee and the committee has been in a lull or a funk. Meanwhile, the knicks will go as far as Melo takes them, which means their margin of error is smaller, relying as they do, on a temperamental superstar who is as difficult to predict as the weather. But for one night, give me the superstar with his supporting cast of role players, as they audition for the great Maestro himself, Phil Jackson, on the biggest basketball stage on earth.

For one night with the NYK's, you may be absolutely right and if you are, virtually everything you stated above will get the Knicks to the finish line. The audition will be in full force tonight. That is definitely in your favor in terms of motivation.

That is why I'm not going crazy with this play. I'm challenging myself with it. It sets up beautifully for the Knicks and there is absolutely something amiss with the Pacers.

But I would much rather this incoming team be Memphis or the Suns or the Clippers or the Blazers where the Knicks would be likely be getting a small amount of points but there would be no rivalry, no history. This matchup goes all the way back to the Reggie Miller choke game. The Pacers really strive to win in NY and don't overlook it, especially Lance who goes berserk on them. And against the Sixers, it looks like they just breezed through the game 1 and 2 in the home and home, and even in Detroit and still walked away with 3 victories in their back pocket (nothing to brag about) and will be playing full speed in this game. 

We'll see. I could be completely wrong and if I was shown 4.5 I may have been lured a different way. But not with a ML.

And don't forget, the pacers were down 25 in that pistons game and won and of all teams, the Knicks are the worst with keeping leads.

Also the Knicks are the only team to not come back from a >=15 deficit all year. The only one....

And we look at that 25 point comeback and say "Man what's wrong with the pacers to go down 25 to the lowly pistons?!" But the Knicks who can't overcome almost half that ALL SEASON, are "hot" because they ran over the dregs of the league.

It's all about perspective and the relevance of that perspective when capping.

Yes it is, Scal, and at the risk of encouraging more people to throw even more money down the Knicks garbage chute (or Train to get even angrier for not discussing the Nets), I think today is like opening day or the first day of Spring (which it practically is) where hope springs eternal, for the Knicks. It's as if the rest of the season didn't matter or didn't even happen. Today, they can begin again under the leadership of Phil Jackson. This game is not about matchups, stats, trends or even rivalries. No, it's about hope, belief redemption and even resurrection! Today, the Knicks get what most people only dream of--to erase the failures of the past by ushering in a new day. A winning day. A day that makes hope, belief and love (in this case, the love of the game) the only thing that matter, in an otherwise dark, despairing world.

Public on the pacers heavily.... line dropping though..... 

I know which team has the best player on the court and he can win it himself.....  

Gonna look into this game now.... live betting might be a better option.

Train I didn't even look at it.

If you want a more interesting play, I have one.

It's T-Wolves@ Mavs.

In their last matchup, KLove got rape d by Shawn Marion on the final play.


Adelman and Love were pretty steamed about it as the wolves fell by 2 after 19 point comeback.

They looked at it as KLove not being a 'star' of the league to get such a call.

Read about it here:

https://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400489328


Here is the foul:
https://youtu.be/ovzx9UPvhH0

Now the wolves have a chance at what is more of a revenge game than most on their floor with the Mavs coming in having won 5 of 6 and the wolves barely beating the Kings last time out.

The spread is Wolves +5.

Agree on all points. I slept on such notions and am forcing my hand here on the Pacers (with research of course).

That last line sounds like something Rod Serling would say as the trumpet plays.

SCAL, I liked indy as well I think the knicks lost value when the line dropped. indy can cover -1.5. I stated this in LC's thread I think the pacers win by 2 or 3 n who ever got knicks early at +4 will get lucky.. im glad ur on the pacers too everyone is on the knicks man.. but they still have to play so we will find out later gd luck SCAL..

This is so much fun, Scal that I gotta say one more thing (at least). As capper and a Knicks fan I think I understand exactly where you are coming from. How could this Knicks team, that has been so putrid against any team with a pulse suddenly turn it on and win a game against a 50 win team? It makes no sense, logically, and I agree. But what does logic have to do with concepts such as belief, hope and love, which give human beings the ability, power and motivation to defy all logic and to accomplish things they never dreamed of? Tonight is when you throw logic out the window!

Lance is the best player on the court when it's NYK vs. pacers.

It could end up like the Wiz Kings game where otherworldly forces propelled the Kings to victory no matter what the Wiz did. 

All that karma is in the Knick's back pocket tonight. You have a valid pulse of the state of this game.
