stop playing NBA teasers. 2 or 3 team teasers, understandable....but a 5 teamer in this league is a crapshoot.

you are goin with 3 road teams that is never a good idea. I suggest doin 3 straights of a certain unit like 20 dollars each if u have. Than do half of that amount of a 3 team teaser for like 10 dollars. So if you get two teams right you will still be + units. Secondly boston can beat u by 20 and win by 4 I wouldn't take my chance on bulls or even golden state atlanta is a pretty good defensive team.

Atlanta is a 9-2 home team and Boston is 14-1 home team why bother takin those two shitty road teams in gs/chi. Toronto would be +1 in a teaser and OKA has 2 wins. Of course oka has a chance of winning but you gotta look at the probablity.

Knicks also have a good chance of winning at home and would be +3 on a 7 point teaser

Is that a 3 team, 8 point teaser?  Even if it is, you are paying -120 which is flat horrible.  If it's a 7 point teaser, you are getting completely hosed.  If it's an 8 point teaser, you are getting horrible lines.
