I feel a break out comin tonight Mavin!
Been on a nice streak myself and we're going to sustain
 it I have no doubt!!
Let's get this!!

Unfortunately I was on the clips last night as I played it early before I saw Mavin's post, although that would not have changed my mind, as I saw a dis functional Suns team with a green coach and whom were previously hammered by the Clips. Thought the Clips would bounce back, would need to keep pace with OKC and SA after losing the night before. 
Forgive me guys for talkin about the past but I missed out on the thread yesterday being busy with work(those bastards) and thursday night shinny (so out of shape!) but I always make an effort to learn from my mistakes and I know other place to go then this very informative world class thread.

So now the lesson, and please guys chime in. I want to, need to hear your thoughts, What I saw last night from the Clips was a beat down tired team both mentally and physically. Maybe worn down from the grind of keeping pace with OKC and SA? Clips haven't been in this position before and to go on a 17 game streak and OKC and SA are still right there, has to be deflating. So now what? Fade them until they snap out of it and realize that they are in a dog fight?

DAL has won 5 of 6 losing to OKC by 3 in OT. DAL avg 110.7 in their last six and with Dirk rounding into form DAL shot 48.1% in their past five and with a great 2.48 assist to turnover while holding opponents to 41.9 shooting in those same five!!
SA is 4-11 ATS vs western conference foes in their last fifteen while DAL is on a 7-0 ATS stretch and 6-0 in their last six conference games.

Gotta be on the Mavs at home getting points. 
Played this around lunch time today so I've got DAL +1.5 as I see the line at -2 now, still think there's good value. Sorry couldn't post earlier(damn work) but I see our BRO IS ON IT AS WELL,
LETS GET THIS MAVIN!!

I'm not that sure Minnesota will be hammered. Washington is a different team with Wall back. They haven't been favored this high in any game so that is always cause for concern, but I like Washington as well. I'm pretty sure they win the game, the spread is another thing.

I had this game pegged and on the screen at noon as well. But I didn't put the bet in then. I came back on just now and see the line reversed to Dallas -1.5. Since I missed the value, I'll just sit the game. But I hope you guys take it down. Dumb mistake on my part.

When I started this thread - I never thought it will become one day an hysterical hit with over 5000 comments. Hey guys - you're all part of the historical milestone! Unbelievable! Congratulations to each and every poster on this thread! We must be doing something right here. With all this said - we'll stay humble and civil - and will better ourselves with every day of handicapping!

I like the Warriors but not sure am betting on them just yet- As you know I picked my Parlay just need to pick my 3 favs- leaning OKC BUCKS spreads and the over on BUCKS
GL Turbo. When you started with those crazy parlays - I thought to myself - this is one crazy mother - but as I see the order in your craziness I realize you're a parlay pro with the right book. Although I would not recommend anyone to take an example from you as in order to do that one has to be you Turbo with a photographic memory as you said  - of that capacity - I wish you all the best and success

I'm on the other side of the bulls bet. I think golden state wins this won. Only way i see them losing is curry and lee have an off shooting night which is always a possibility of course.
It will be interesting to see and as long as the losing side will take the notes - also will be productive in the future (I mean Bulls game in which we have different views).

Spread picks- Spurs, Bucks, Thunder, Rockets

Parlay 1- Spread Heat, Utah, Twolves

I simply think that Washington are better at this stage of the season. Look at their recent games

This is huge game for Dallas, big revenge factor huge with Tim Duncan out.
G.S. playing much better since the return of Curry, and Bulls coming off tough win at home against Detriot. Boston is playing b2b, 3 out of 4 nights, 4 out of six nights. They have to be wore out mentally and physically after all these tough losses. Atlanta is just a way better team at home.

previously on the card was...
N.O. -3
Hou-N.O. Over 200.5
Mil -4
Okc-Sac Over 209
Brk-Memp Under 177.5

With you on some, others  I am not Mavin. I have trust my own capping. Gl 2 everyone on NBA Friday.
That's a goal

If I may bend your ear for a moment Mavin, but what did you see in the PHX pik? I couldn't make that pick if I had a gun to my head. But furthermore will PHX be over valued as they beat a top tier team SU, as we saw when PHI almost(not) beat SA? ( we then rolled with MIL and almost lost to a Ellis missed FT). 
PHX next game coincidentally is in SA tomorrow night.
I will be watching tonight's SA vs DAL very intently. 
BOL tonight gents!!

I am very humble and take this post with the upmost respect and appreciation. BOL and let's keep trying to improve.

What I do is something that I do, I don't recommend it either unless you feel yourself understanding what it is that I am trying to achieve. As long as I hit one of those Parlays a month it pays for itself and then some. The open spots I started doing recently and since NFL is where I make my money I can't wait until next season to put it to full practice by starting 10 $50 parlays by selecting one game and 9 open spots and grind the season. As stated before I was able to do this on the espn game and that in some sense is harder because it's straight win/lose no spread so no way to safeguard.

I am in search of my most confident winner this weekend to complete my $50 for $600-
