Weed The North - Season Long Raptors Thread

^^^^ SportsN...i always appreciate your positive feedback...nice to know people are reading this thread and banking money wherever possible.

Raps @ 76ers

Lean:

Who the fuk knows...at -2.5 for Philly, thats essentially saying no one really knows how this game will play out....Lowry is out, but it doesnt seem to matter anymore, hes been off ever since aggravating his back...dare i say the team is better now without him??? VanVleet and Wright have enough talent to make up for Lowry being out...and Siakam is emerging as the new team alpha dog...my heart says Raps ML here, but im too biased here to really see this game clearly....Philly comes into this game somewhat desperate to close the gap between them and the Raps...and traditionally this matchup/rivalry seems to favor the home team as of "the process" emerging.

This game sets up well for possible ingame wagering if either team gets up by 15pts at any point in the 1H, to take the side that is down...and assume a regression to the original line in the 2h....

Also, something inside wants me to bet Overtime Yes at +800 if offered once the game begins...this one just smells like a tight yo yo type game where neither team will be up more than 6pts.

Locked in:

76ers +10.5...5u...ingame wager at HT down 72-55  

Locked in:

76ers +11...2u...couldnt resist as my book just offered up the extra hook.   

i think the raps are at the start of a large winning streak. schedule looks nice and everyone is healthy now 

packerbackers I am still trying to wrap my head around getting rid of jv and felon. not a happy camper over here. not sure if this is final but don't like it 

that should read delon must be real flustered 

This was the first year JV lived up to his full potential, but he split time with Obaka so all JVs flaws could be hidden will less playing time...Gasol plays D whereas JV really didnt...i could live without Jv...CJ Miles was a throw in so no big loss. Delon will be the xfactor in this deal...will he continue to improve, or will he end up more like a Terrence Ross and bust...time will tell.

yeah cj had a rough time in t.o. for the most part but I just really liked lowry and jv together and delon has been a favourite of mine 

I think Lowry will be dealt after this season for multiple reasons, including capology reasons

still trying to digest this. I love when teams can stay together but I can understand the want to improve. any thoughts on giving up five players in total. man kawhi don't play back to backs lowry with the lower back norm with the shoulder. injuries might really take their toll as the season goes on. maybe boucher will see more minutes

The Raps are deep...look for Vanvleet Powell and Anunoby to have more playing time...thats a good thing imo.

Raps @ Hawks

Lean:

Raps -8.5....no real time to get into a deep post here...i just feel they come out with a sense of purpose and realize its now all business and no more rinky dinkying messing around with these type of "gimme" games...they need to catch Bucks for top seed, or atleast it should be what drives them for the rest of the season, as its clear the Bucks with home court in game 7 of the ECF is not what the Raps want

Locked in:

Raps ML +210....ingame wager with them down 47-32...10u 

Feb 26...last possible hurdle to an undefeated month 

I dont think Philly's plan will come together with this roster...its all media hype...Embiid is a specimen, and unfortunately for him, he is wasting his early.primetime years on a dead end team...assuming he remains healthy, he will be every teams wet dream come the year he hits free agency.

I still love my Raps division wagers, may go down as my best overall sports investment ever if they continue this pace...i know you are also on them too, which adds to the joyride for the next few months towards the finish line....tonights Celtics loss was a very nice boobie prize for us.

Raps @ Knicks

Lean:

Knicks +12

I think Raps win here, but in opposite fashion as how they beat Atlanta...here i believe they come out strong and their sheer talent level difference takes them to a 12-15pt HT lead...which sets this up beautifully for a back door type cover with a strong Knicks 4th Q to give the Saturday night home crowd some drama for their thousand dollar seats to watch this crap team...Raps should walk away with a solid win here, but i highly doubt they will have any real intensity with 6min left in the game if they are still up around 15...this game flow i predict will be a complete flip flip to the Atlanta game...we shall see...im not crazy enough to back NY anything less than +22.5 ingame, and even then i wouldnt bet it...they are perfecting the art of the tank while Coach Fizdale collects his data for next year

LMFAO. I love that Flitz clip. 

I had this capped to cover though...I don't think NY has the pride or the bench to stay up. But you're right about the back door. I think I'll just take the 1H. Thanks again for the write up! Always checking your thread before game time. 

Imagine if this place had a single legit capper follow  and report on their hometeam all season long, and had a similar thread going like this one for every single nba team...covers nba forum would be trending on social media every effing night
