There's some serious value with the Hornets

PHX/OKC

No play game now with Nash out

Both teams play tomorrow,so under could very well hit today

Just can't endorse a bet on the total right now

Good history lesson from Bator. Pays to keep a database and go look at it. Mine is in shambles because I put off recording box scores. Gonna get back to that.

good post!

So far this season they are 5-1 ATS in this role. You don't even need to "cap" the game when they are in this role. Just hit submit and come back later to count your winnings. I'm not totally in love with the Knicks part of this game tonight though because they've lost 3 or 4 players from these runs as big digs, but I think the terrible spot for the Celtics makes up for it. The Celtics are just 2-12 ATS as home favs of 5.5 or more points since November 13th. You know what that means tonight? Celtics by 24.


Really leaning Hornets here too but I'm not totally in love with it. Sooner or later Cleveland is going to come out like an angry pit bull and bitchslap a couple of bad teams, but I'm just not sure when that's going to be. The Hornets are an extremely undervalued commodity on the road right now as they've reeled off a 9-1 ATS run as road underdogs winning 7 of those games outright, including games in Utah, Oklahoma City, Portland, Memphis, and Charlotte. They also lost in overtime in Denver.

Gotta like the Suns tonight without Nash. ML too. The time to play the Thunder IMO is tomorrow night when they travel to San Antonio to slay the old guard.

Leaning Philly too. Iverson out, Ellis in? Sign me up.

Love Philly because G.S. just had a great comeback win on national T.V. and when teams do this for whatever reason fall flat the next game, especially bad teams.  Saw an angry Hawk team blow a huge lead and win outright.  I see the Blazers destroying the Nets tonight but no way I can lay -8 ever.  I will be on one of the 2 if not both for sure tonight.

Darn it, seems like no one likes the Smeltics to cover those points tonight.  Most everyone bothering to make a pick on that game seems quite comfortable taking the 10 points. 

I could read message boards, blogs, and newspaper articles for hours on end if the topic du jour is bashing the New York Knicks.

And when will these professional sports franchises figure out that these ceremony nights almost always result in a distracted effort and embarrasing loss for their own team?  I guess the answer is never because it's been going on as long as I've been following sports.

I only watched bits and pieces of last night's game, but I saw enough to catch several of House's awful flings early in the shot clock.  I was like "Man, I would pull him right there for that stupid shot!"

Even watching on TV, you can just feel the lack of respect they have for D'Antoni.  He doesn't sound like a terribly bright man in those sound bites, either.  Spouts mostly obvious stuff and he's usually wearing that goofy grin while he's doing it.

How in the hell do you find information as to when there is going to be a special ceremony before the game or at halftime.  I always bet against the home team in these situations, but unless its on tv I never know when its going to happen

No.  I completely ditched that idea a few hours ago.  Now I'm on Boston -9.5 -103 and -10 +105.  I'm also on Cleveland -6 -110 in the 1st half for a small bet, and Cleveland -11.5 +102 & +100 for more.
