Scal, what, if anything, did you decide about the Knicks? Is 3.5 too much to lay?

You can do anything want with my record really.

I don't want to do anything with your record. I was just curious as to what it actually was....and how such useful piece of information should stand out every time every time you start a mentally engaging post....it would be nice if you ALWAYS stated such factual records before your plethora of transcribed knowledge is released upon your fellow gambling patrons.  

 

Thanks for sharing. Keep doing ya thang too...It appears that covers is therapeutic for you.

I certainly think Scal is on to something (with the Hawks tanking) but with all the media attention on them they might have to show up in this one. On the other hand, even if they show up the Cavs (right now) are the better team. I'm gonna sleep on it.

The thing is, the cavs played 2 more game so far and are still behind the hawks...

Injuries for the hawks have shaved off some wins but your right, its anybody guess on who will make the playoffs ...

The cavs... well the cavs are the same old same old... glad I loaded up on under 42 season wins ... Its a custom to lose in clevland! Its cultural!! lol

GL but I will focus on the Heat and another cover I hope  !!

Just to finish my thought, during the Knicks game, for instance, Van Gundy went on a diatribe about Ferry's comments regarding "winning no being the goal." He basically called him out and said this puts a black stain on the entire league. That night the Hawks lost to the Bulls (which everyone expected). But won't they have to give a better effort tonight, against a team they are supposedly fighting against for a playoff spot? If they don't show up then everyone will be talking about the tanking business again. That concerns me and maybe Scal can address it. If I'm right and the Hawks (for appearance sake) give it their all (including the coach) then the only way to justify this bet is to say that the Cavs are the better team period and will win regardless of whether the Hawks are tanking or not. I could certainly buy that argument and would even be willing to put money on it, but maybe not as much as before (since theHawks might try to win just to save face).

BB..I think you are right.....I guess we need to see what the line will be.... to figure the best strategy......maybe we take the points if the line is way too much... or no play....

He has a point about hawks might give it all to save face.

Excellent pick had this one down right when the lines came out... So didn't have to sell me on this one but solid write up & thanks for your time... I couldn't believe they were giving pts to the hottest team in the nba & I don't care that hawks are home don't mean garbage... The hawks are as cold as they come right now... I plan on doing what I did wed. and that's Knicks straight 1,000 & Cavs straight 1,500 with a scrumptious Cavs/Knicks 1,000 parley might even go 2,000 this time... Going for the repeat and I feel good about it 
Just to add to it a lil 
* Atlanta 5-22-1 ATS run 
* Cavs 5-2 ATS past 7 meetings 
* Cavs 10-2 ATS past 12 after scoring 100 or more previous game 
* Cavs 10-4 ATS past 14 road games 

P.S. some knicks wiz knowledge 
I love betting the wiz on the road and they have been quite profitable when you find the right situations & systems they fit but that ends today because they're in a rough spot... 

1. Don't need to elaborate really all I gotta say is bet the knicks for pretty much all the same reasons you bet them against the nets. Unless you were one of those fools going with a hot nets team and didn't realize they didn't stand a chance in hell of pulling that W away from the knicks. Maybe if they were home but that wasn't the case. Yes, I know there is a differnce this isn't that heated rival like nets knicks but they still have plenty to play for and it will be treated exactly like that game.

2. As I said the wiz has been profitable numerous times on the road and in general but if you look lately that isn't the case anymore. They have really begun to drop off after an impressive strech. This is not the time for a team to start to fall apart cause the competition goes up a level around this time but it's happening.

3. Injuries could be a part of this with no Nene but is set to return soon but not for the knicks game so that's a win. Bradley Beal dealing with ankle and hip issues and not only that but the Bradley Beal we saw early in the season is no where to be found. This could be because of injury but beal is a very important piece to the puzzle and when he's struggling there is a good chance the team is. Gortat is also not 100% healthy dealing with back problems and has caused him tremendous problems staying consistent on both ends of the floor. You can tell he is a little limited. Another player I'd like to point out and must say I'm a little surprised on how well he has played this year is Trevor Ariza. He is still playing great basketball and above my expectations but if you notice his best play of the year came early and during the wiz impressive stretch. He is still there and a factor but I feel his cooling down with no Nene and Beal really dropping off and dealing with injuries this wiz team does NOT look like it did just a bit ago and like I said the wiz downfall has come at the wrong time and this team is starting to fade a little.

Some trends 
* Knicks 18-8 ATS last 26 meetings 
* Knicks 10-1 ATS last 11 meetings in the Garden

These are the situations I love cause the wiz are down right horrible after they play a revenge game and that happened to be the Celts. They're a weak 4-17 SU and 6-15 ATS

Also got to love that knicks are going for some revenge. Add it all up and should be a solid cover and win for the knicks as they hope to slide into the playoffs here late.
