HOU Rockets -1.5
IND Pacers -4
MIA Heat -7.5

BOL! 


If you want in you need to format and this goes for everyone your REASONING, no matter how brief or nonsensical.
That is the point of this exercise/contest to bounce thoughts and stats off each to come up with your top plays. 

Sorry Mavin, I know that this your thing but records and plays mean nothing to me without the info to back it up!
Now lets keep this train moving in the right direction!!

Your'e right its not your thread.  Ive already stated that these are the best value plays I could find based on stats and trends.  Im not going to copy and paste that info for some lazy behind moron.  You can state facts and stats to justify a pick and then turn around and do the same to go against it.  I disagree with you on another point, records over a long period do say something about ones capping ability.  Do youre own work!

im so tempted to pick Mia ats but Mia kinda relax when they play back at home after couple of road games tough to pick cle as well so hoping for Mia to put a show at home with high scoring game. The King is just playing on another level right now.. Just your thought guys Kobe is better than LBJ as per your Airness due to his rings?

BigUnit buddy. Why did you get off the hostile foot today? Calm down your comments and let your guard off. We're all buddies here and don't get on each other's cases. I understand what you're saying and appreciate your input. With all that said you have to respect what I asked about formatting your picks so all I will have to do is copy paste them and also to reason them if you can (I've read your reasoning in the past and I'm sure that will contribute here). Now, CP74 (despite his avatar  LOL) is a respected and contributing member of this thread and I'd appreciate if you guys got along fine. I'm not asking from you to hold his hands, but be civilized. Thanks and GL

Maybe to you but not me!! Ya I copy and paste the info but that info does not show up in my inbox, I spend hours researching most every single stat from numerous sites for most games then with that info I will narrow it down to 2-3 plays

All I was doing was trying to give you a heads up if you want in the contest your formatting sucks and "best value plays" lol  mean nothing!!

No problem Mavin, but with the rookie's last post its hard to resist putting the schmuck back in his place!

Adding...

Kings/Hornets over 203.5

Over is 4-0 last 4 meetings in New Orleans and 4-0 last 4 meetings period.  Both teams off 1 day rest and I look for the game to be more competitive than the 7 point spread indicates which also gives a chance for overtime.  2 of the three refs officiating are prone to the over in this total range.  Kings 32-22-2 o/u, Hornets 30-26 o/u.

Knicks -10.5

Memphis Grizzlies -2.5

Lank66  6-4

Under 203.5 SAC Kings - NO Hornets

Under 180 MEM Grizzlies - BK Nets

Under 199 SA Spurs - PHO Suns

Reasoning

Spread lines seemed really sharp to me today so I'm staying away from them.

Under 203.5 SAC Kings - NO Hornets

Sacramento is awful on the road and the longer they're on the road the worse their offense gets.  New Orleans typically plays half decent defense at home.  With the combination of some defense by the Hornets and poor offense by Sacramento, I think it will stay under the total. 

Under 180 MEM Grizzlies - BK Nets

Prince got to take the Memphis defense 101 course over the allstar break and it shows, Memphis is covering everyone like a glove on the defensive end.  And it seems like they are waiting until 5 second are on the shot clock at the offensive end to execute their plays.  Brooklyn has been playing a slightly more uptempo offensive style of late, but has floundered in the 2nd half of games (which is when Memphis defense really steps up).  They might score 95 in the first half, but a 75 point second half isn't out of the question.  

Under 199 SA Spurs - PHO Suns

San Antonio will be without Parker which doesn't slow them down at all.  The play is made because Phoenix is awful defensively and offensively and with Beasley half healthy, I am anticipating Phoenix having a very difficult time scoring more than 85.  If this wasn't the last game of the road trip I would be all over SA on the spread.

I may be a rookie poster but not to this site as I've used it since 2002 and been betting sports since 1996. 
I have never ever wanted to participate and share until mavin came along with his civil thread because of bitter littled icks like yourself and mr johnson. Now Im going to go use the bathroom and trow up as I feel sick that I am wasting this much time and energy on a most  unappreciative F%@#
