@Aussie I agree the Celtics are not a perfect team, not even close. Still imo they're worth a bet here, more so against Pacers than anyone else - it's not just a win but instead a revenge factor and "we can do this" for not being able to beat them since July 2013. Grizzlies -6.5 & O183.5, 1.1U both, Memphis has been terrific so far this season taking down some of the more defensively heavy teams and OKC w/o RW & KD can't be counted as offensive force either. Gasol & Co is in good shape, healthy and hungry so I'm looking this as 10-12 point showmatch for them in 102-88 range. Kings 1st H +3, 1.1U, Kings have been extremely strong so far this season and Cousins has been straighout beastly. Both teams should match beginning of game quite evenly and looking this to be 1-2 pt lead for either after 1st half. Cavs 1st H -2, 1.1U, Cavs have had strong starts throughout all of their 4 games and Nuggets are just plain bad. Cleveland with 2 straight losses definitely looking to tie it up this game and like notified previously Nuggets can't just play the run-and-gun-see-who-wins-game with these Cavs, they just can't. That's all for myself and feeling confident, BOL guys

Do you rank the Wizards stronger at home than the Celtics? I do..Pacers were able to take it to OT vs the Wizards last game on a B2B (Wizards on B2B as well) and now both Celtics and Pacers have had 2 days rest. Pacers are missing a lot of players as well all know but regardless, the Celtics just havent been clicking defensively. Vogel knows how to slow the pace down and play boring ball, where as Brad Stevens never has full control of his team. They are very sporadic over the course of a game, so are the Pacers but i think the Pacers can lock down on D.. Without statement about the Celtics being strong at home, I have to disagree. Last season they had the 6th worst home record in the entire league, going just 16-25 at home. Yes the Pacers are missing West, Hill and George but Vogel and the Pacers have won the past 2 in Boston and cleaned up the series 4-0 last season. Vogel knows how to play this Boston team, regardless of his players on the roster. I think they keep it closer than a lot of people think. And BTW, the Wizards were 22-19 SU at home last season so if an injury depleted Pacers team can match it with the Wiz kids who IMO have a lot better scoring options than Boston do, then I think it will be a close game.. BOL Agree partially - Wizards being stronger defensive team at home. However making any assumptions regarding this game based on last year's statistics or teams feels silly imo. 1st off Pacers is not the same team as last year, not even closeby - they're missing Stephenson, George, Hill and Stuckey aka their offensive punch. No way Sloan is gonna burst into 30+ pts everygame as he did vs those Wizards leaving Copeland as their only viable scoring option. 2nd Boston might not be Wizards defensively but let's look at something else here - their offense where these Celtics through start of the season have bolstered pts made/game from 26th of association to 2nd, offensive rating from 27th up to 7th and pace ranking up from 93 to 98.. That does not look like a team that we would've been talking about a year ago and definitely not a team that's as easy to slow down - just look at their game, it's totally different from that slumbering sloth they were last year. Defensively they're not the likes of GSW or Bulls and won't be but this Pacers team is not the Pacers team that bolstered best defensive rating and least points against / 100 poss, infact they're not even close to that and Boston will have plenty of chances to break that Pacers defense up while Pacers won't just have the offensive power for this match up - even against Boston's defense.

YTD ATS 3-8-1
DAMN! Well it's more fun to improve from this than to landslide from 8-3. Also noticed I'm too lazy to upkeep yearlong so looking to post plays day by day. First real write ups and thoughts about games. Wolves -3, 2.2U, Minny has been more than decent so far this season beating Nets/Detroit both by 6 and only loosing by 1 and 4 to fairly superior defensive Bulls & Grizzlies. Team is moving the ball well with Rubio taking a role there and against weak Orlando Wolves should be able to grab 8-12 pts win. Boston -4.5, 2,2U, This Celtics team is totally different from what we've seen in near past. Now with Rondo back they move the ball and Olynyk has actually grown from scared college kid he was last season to decent center. Boston has always been strong and against injury riddled Pacers team this might be their 1st blowout win for the season. DEN/CLE U208, 2.2U, What is this line ? Teams who both avg <100pts vs poor defensive teams I have no idea what's up with this line so I'll be happy to bash the money in. Cleveland has to step up both offensively and defensively and Denver can't take a chance at run-and-gun game vs them. More coming up, stay tuned

I'm on it! I love this spot for Boston and I doubt the Rockets can adapt correctly to Rondo being back - hell no1 can tbh.
"Mediocre Nets" or not the fact that they blow them by double digits running 3 first quarters over 30pts / q is somthing to say 'bout C's being different team this year with Rondo. Rockets havn't shown anything fancy in preseason nor regular so far so this should be decent spot for C's to take 2-0 lead in Eastern as they'll find plenty of struggle along the season if they wish to go for play offs.

YTD ATS/Total: 1-2-1
YTD Props: 1-1 Cavs Wizards Clippers Pistons Cavaliers still figuring out a lot of things and playsand this can be seen in yesterday's game. Clippers were a total bust yesterday, meh... Today's plays: Bulls -4 @-110, Bulls looking strong so far and after yesterday don't have trust in Cavs to make miracles in b2b match. Should be good up to -5.5 / -6.5 Suns ML @ +105, Suns should be good here imo and havn't actually figured too much of reason for this, value all the way Portland -5.5 @-110 & O201 @-110, Portland just overall more solid team, should be high pace game at roughly 115 - 95 for Portland. Might add LAC/LAL U208.5, other than that looking like a dry night. BOL for tonight people and feel free to comment / discuss

Plays for Thursday 30th:
Cavaliers -12.5 @ -110 for 2.2U, Just look at the Knicks yesterday's game. Cavs might still have some issues with synergy and figuring out their plays but they surely do have what it takes to be championship contender. Wizards 1stH -2 @ -110 for 2.2U, Wizards started out somewhat strong yesterday vs Heat but got trampled in 4th. Magic are looking to last for the whole night and won't be starting this up too fast. Clippers -13 @ -110 for 1.1U, Clippers have what it takes to be champions and they have pretty much just used the preseason to "goof off and try stuff", you'll see strong solid force tonight vs injury riddled OKC. Westbrook can't carry the whole team to play offs unfortunately. Pistons +6 @ -110 for 1.1U, This one is more speculative but it should be a close game with 2-4 point margin in the end so on the safe side here. Bonus tricka-doo, CP3 O18,5 points @ -115 & Crawford O14.5 points @ -115 BOL all

Awwwwwwww yisssssssssssss! Last season somthin 63% or some nuts so looking to improve by 5% this season as well why the heck not!
Season long bets: Clippers to win Western @+550 Celtics to win O27.5 @-110 Minnesota to win O27.5 @-115 MVP Derrick Rose @+900 Charlotte to win SE div @+500 Some thoughts for the season: Hoping players will stay healthy, would hate to see anyone get injured on top of those already injured. Looking forward to see Charlotte and Cavaliers for the season and how they'll match it together with new lineups as well as looking forward for Clippers to finally make that last push (oh and how I hope Celtics will come and take everyone by suprise). Will be mainly focusing on ATS / ML lines as I've found the totals to be really unreliable but hey gotta play at em time to time I guess. All in all BOL all and feel free to comment / ask about any plays.

This has lots to do with the "importance" of superstars in NBA to game outcome more than other sports (NFL, NHL etc etc).
Usually the lines move due to "big money moving" according to news/information/speculations on the changes on line up and health of players both of which change the outcome of NBA more than in other games (don't get me wrong - Manning missing is gonna shake game outcome probably more than any NBA superstar missing but you get my point). Following line movement in NBA is probably more accurate than in any other sport but you never know which team is gonna rally so wouldn't take it as absolute truth but a good theory and additional info still

Love Charlotte & Detroit
Would stay away from New Orleans game myself but that's due to strong belief that Dallas is rockin hard this year so the bet and Davis might be on the winning side here after all. BOL whipton

Really looking forward to see how Atlantic develops and I think it's all down to how Rondo, Lopez and Anthony will stay healthy / in teams (all kind of under trade threat, Anthony not so much) but definitely agree Raptors are fair favorite here simply due to their depth giving them more guns and more resistance to injuries.
Personally I'd rank Celtics (and possibly Knicks) over Nets - with a few IFs, if Rondo stays healthy / in C's & doesn't mix up their gameplay too much, Lopez not staying healthy / in Nets and Knicks finding different touch to their game but all in all I think all three should have it really close, possibly within 6 wins for places 2-4. Depending on developments in each team the difference to Toronto should be between 0-10 wins, maybe even more if they all fall apart. Guess we'll see, BOL for season guys
