YTD (NBA PLAYOFFS):  4-4 ATS (BIG PLAY!!!: 1-1 ATS)

wow, sorry about last night. Can't get much worse than 0–2. Open the door for a big bounce back today. I think some pretty big one-sided matchups. Here's what I am playing:

OKC (-15):   I'm not quite sure how Memphis keeps the game close, especially with Morant out with injury. This is an awful lot of points to drop but with OKC it often times doesn't matter. Add to that they've covered eight of the last 10 against Memphis and Memphis has no coach.  I don't see how they don't win this game by close to 30. I also think this game will go far under the total.

LAC (-6):   Another bad matchup in that the Clippers have been awesome all year at home and ATS. Denver on the other ha have finished a shell of themselves over the past month or so and are playing to stay alive with no coach. I have a strong feeling they too will be experiencing an early exit from these playoffs. Plus the Clippers have covered rather regularly when playing the Nuggets on their home court.

I am eyeing the Golden State game and might come back, depending on how things line up. As always, tail or fade, good luck to all.

Freeland very solid. He's just trapped on a horrible team. But as we all know in baseball, you don't lose every single game and I agree this is a pretty decent spot for the Rockies. I think you mentioned it earlier but the Reds lineup just don't strike the fear in anyone. I like that alt line think there's a ton of value in that.

Thanks everyone! Let's get these

I've said it in a couple of my other posts of late, but I tore ligament into my hand and have been unable to do very much at all. Complicating things more is it's on my dominant hand so I've had to use voice dictation which I've quickly learned is not awesome. Lucky for me the pin comes out on Monday and while I might have limited mobility, it should be a lot less painful than it currently is. Hope you have been well.

YTD (NBA PLAYOFFS):  4-1 ATS (BIG PLAY!!!: 1-0 ATS)

Great night yesterday hitting both plays. I came back to make the Knicks a big play but realized the game tipped off at 4 PM so I kept it as was. In the end I think luckily such was the case as I would've been sweating like crazy otherwise. The Clippers are just far better than the Nuggets, especially as I mentioned yesterday since the Nuggets don't even have a coach.

With that being said, here are the plays for tonight:

OVER 230 (IND/MIL)...BIG PLAY!!!:  The total has gone OVER in 8 of Milwaukee's last 11 games against Indiana and that doesn't even take into account how often Indiana has gone over the total on the road of late. I realize the number looks a little high given the playoffs, but Milwaukee will be doing everything I can to win the game and that includes ensuring the pace of the game is to their liking.

UBDER 208 (LAL/MIN):   this is pretty much the reverse of the write up above. Over the past 10 H2H's between these two teams, the under has come in eight out of 10 times. Moreover, six out of the last six games played between these two teams have gone under. My only hesitation in making this be big play is that Minnesota has more or less handled the Lakers having gone 14–2 against them over the past 16 games played. I might actually throw the Timberwolves into a parlay with a baseball game that I really like.

That will be all for tonight. I have no interest in the other game, especially with so much uncertainty as to who is playing and who is not for the Celtics. I will be back later, but for now, as always, tail or fade, good luck to all.

Good stuff! Ironically, we were both right about the way the game would play out, but luckily for you the diamondbacks committed enough errors again and their depleted bullpen couldn't keep the Rays off the board. Keep up the good run. I know it was challenging for you at the beginning of the season

Great night! Definitely will have a play for later. And will update record at that time. Hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks buddy. And. let me correct myself before people jump down my throat as they love to do on this site… I know the Giants came back and won the game today.

Haha I actually thought to respond to this because after this hand injury I'm convinced had I done anything to my leg it would've been so much easier to deal with lol. Thanks for the kind words.

Good luck, bud. I crushed my hand so I have to use voice dictation. But I wanted to weigh in because I completely agree about Rasmussen, but Tampa Bay is as bad on the road as the Rockies and worse than even the White Sox. While, I think they will have more than one win at the end of the year away from home, it's just tough to trust that lineup and while you're correct that burnes has not been the same pitcher, he still has the pedigree to potentially put Tampa to sleep.

I also think the diamondbacks know how critical it is to get tonight's win with the Giants having lost and both the Padres and Dodgers off tonight. Either way, just sharing my thoughts. Good luck as always.

YTD (NBA PLAYOFFS):  2-1 ATS (BIG PLAY!!!: 1-0 ATS)

I cannot begin to tell you how difficult it is to have lost your dominant hand and to have to operate life without it on a daily basis. This is the main reason I have been absent from posting up late and to be honest I've used voice dictation now and had to re-draft this particular post three times 2 to absurd auto corrections.

Tonight it is gonna be short and sweet. The Knicks I pretty much dominated Detroit of late even more so when they play in Detroit. The stakes are extremely high tonight and while it won't be an easy game, the Knicks are 10–4 ATS in the last 14 against Detroit. Even better when facing them on the road.

I'm going to probably bet with my heart and take the clippers tonight. They have been covering machine, or incredibly dominated at home, and while they don't own the nuggets by any standard they do play them tough. I realize 5.5 points is a lot to be dropping in the series, but I think free throws at the end of the game will be the difference. For me, the cherry on top is Denver does not actually have a coach and while you might think that does not matter it very much does in close games approaching the final whistle.

I do very much like OKC, but dropping 10 on the road even though they completely dominate Memphis is a little rich for me. Might revisit at halftime, but if they're clobbering them, I expect that to be more of the same as Memphis is almost completely checked out and also does not have a coach. OKC is the strongest team in my opinion, and I've tapped them to face the clippers for a place in the NBA finals.

NYK (-130):  I know it's a very short line but it's also a very small money line to just back the Knicks to win

LAC (-5.5):  Taking the dominant team at home in the 2025 version of NBA playoffs were almost all the home teams have attended to win by more than 5.5

That's about all I can muster with this voice dictation and all the errors it bakes and corrections. I have to try to do with my left hand. As always, tail or fade, good luck to all.

YTD (NBA PLAYOFFS):  1-0 ATS (BIG PLAY!!!: 1-0 ATS)

Solid night back last night even if I had to embrace lady luck. Still having to use the voice dictation so it's tough to give the analysis but in short the first game has a Milwaukee team playing very well right now having covered seven of their last 10 games. Interesting enough they've also covered seven of the past 10 that they have played against Indiana. I know they are shorthanded without Damian Lillard on the court so they played long enough without him to know how to compete without him. I do think this game won't be relatively high scoring, but I really don't love taking overs in the early game. The home team so far have been blowing out their opponents, but I think that changes in these first couple games.

MILWAUKEE (+6)

I will most likely try and come back a little bit later for the other games. Well, for now, I feel really good about this first one. As always, tail or fade good luck to all.

It's baseball. Nobody loses every game. Lugo was really good last year during day games and away from home. I believe the Royals take this game though I see a very low scoring matchup yet again.  Good luck 

Where’s Taiwan Tony?

Good luck buddy. Been away for a bit with a pretty serious hand injury which I'm starting to heal from so I decided to post using voice dictation as I've been able to at least do some high-level analysis on the games.

Huh?  Then why even visit the thread? You're a total loser . Please explain what exactly do I do and what have I ever done or said to you to illicit your stupid comments that are completely meaningless. I have posted my record daily in every single forum so I'm really not sure why you're getting hung up on words. Moreover, the NCAA tournament has nothing to do with this forum. I just mentioned it due to my injury. Instead of saying, sorry to hear about your injury you come in here and try to troll the most meaningless part of what I had posted. But for some strange reason, it's so important to you to make mention and keep negativity alive. You need to head back to Taiwan or meet me in person and I think you'll be shocked at who exactly you're speaking to.

You are correct I did post plays on the first day or so in the tournament and then crushed my hand. Glad you follow all my postings, but I have been doing MLB using the voice dictation just as I am now. Much easier to respond than to actually post. Regardless hope you have a winning night.

Great call on the over! I just don't understand why people keep going against the diamondbacks. They constantly fight back so even the games they lose you're never comfortable.

I've been absent from posting for a while, missing all of the NCAA tournament and the end of the NBA season because I tore ligaments in my hand and I've been unable to use my right hand for typing and/or doing research. I will try to post my end of year record in the NBA, but it was an absolutely great year for me and hopefully for many of you whom followed. I'm also using voice dictation right now so there could be a bevy of grammatical mistakes due to the inaccuracy of Siri.

With that being said, I wanted to post a play that I really like for tonight. I know it's going to be somewhat unpopular based on what most people on here have been posting, but I seem to think it will get over the hump. I personally don't see Atlanta losing tonight as I think the refs will be a lot more inclined to giving them the calls. They missed the other night when they lost in Orlando.

OVER 221 (MIAMI/ATLANTA)...BIG PLAY!!!

Not certain if I will be back for the late game, but I certainly will be around as much as I can be for the playoffs. As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

Make that six
