Not sure what's going on with covers ncaab scores page, page seems to be behind the actual game time, so most are not updating, as well as the game odds are not being shown after game has started. Seems like a lot of bugs and errors happening on that page.

Think your on the money with those, great analysis, might jump on that Celtics as I was on the other 2 big already  myself, just checking in if you had any input on those. Seeing that your on those as well i feel even more confident. Think your seeing the games real well right now, stay hot and good luck.

Good luck on your play sir

Agreed it goes thru LeBron but not second year system, Walton got canned, new coach with quite a few new assistants as well, as cm mentioned a little learning curve regarding rotations etc.., I do think the coaching staff will lean on the given in AD and LeBron, which those 2 are playing off each other very well already. I don't mind the under, might nibble a little, just not sure on lakers D and pace too keep that under, preseason their pace was fast and gave up quite a few 3 point baskets, which the clippers do like to shoot. With George out AD down low and LeBron looking to probably make a statement with this game in particular I'll be on lakers -3.

That's what I've been killing it with the Lakers, they play tough first half, but its not really the entire second half where they lose it, its the 3rd quarter in particular, then they get tough again in the fourth, pretty much been clockwork for the last 15 games. Just waiting for this trend to end, cause its been going for a while, I pointed this out a while back in a CMJohnson thread.

Last 10 games for lakers vs. all outscored in 3rd

Miami +8

Char +4

OKC +4

Mil +5

Utah +3

Bos +3

BK +20

Port +15

Den +3

Cle +2

all games with exception of 2 were close at half, I will be waiting for halftime and stick with this trend until it stops and books adjust

to Jeremy, I don't even remember where I found it, I do remember watching "people are amazing" on you tube, and that was on the video and shortly after I  saw the exact image on the internet, and like you my friend, thought I must put that one up.

You have used this "lakers generally play better without kobe",  the lakers are just plain terrible with or without, I follow the lakers pretty regularly, theyre just not good either way. I check in on your thread because I think you have a pretty good handle and great insight on the NBA, especially when you get on a roll like you have been recently.

But the Lakers are 1-5 ATS with one push, without Kobe and 0-3 ATS with Kobe in the last 10 games

Overall in the last 23 games they are 4-6 with 1 push ATS w/o kobe and 5-5 with 2 push ATS w/ Kobe.

The lakers play hard, effort is there for the most part, but the playing better without Kobe angle I just don't think is a very good angle. Just the same as it is with kobe angle because even though they are 5-5 ATS with him, he has just sat way too many games lately as the season has progressed to really see. Having said that, I had a lean myself to the Lakers +9, but it was more a feel of how I feel they will come out today, but I will pass, mostly because Wall plays very well against the LAkers and the interior of the Wizards I think will give them fits. A play I would be more interested in is Lakers +4, they tend to play pretty close, but 3rd Q they get buried, its almost as consistent as clock work, close at half and destroyed in the 3rd. But like I said they are playing so terrible I almost don't even trust that play with the mismatches there are.

GL either way

Hey, Carpinteria..... I live in Carpinteria. What are the odds ? 

Hey Sky...I live there too, what are those odds?  When I first saw that name and the beach picture, I was wondering how many Carpinterias there are out there.
