NBA Playoff Monday

Utah at Houston. I think the last game was a wake up call to T-Mac and the Rockets. This is the game where Rockets need to dominate the inside and the glass. I betting they will respond tonight.

NBA Playoff Sunday

Phoenix at Los Angeles Total has been over adjusted and this game will go Over with plenty of time. The last match up Suns played 3 sub par quarters and Lakers 2 sub par quarters which 210 Total missed by a mile with 184. Suns only attempted 75 shots which they connected 48% and allowed 81 with 42% to Lakers win. Suns effort on the board was dismal and they have failed to reach +90 points for only the 3rd time this season. By every indication this should be a game Suns will dictate the tempo and play to eclipse +110 points. Lakers will just have to keep pace.

NBA Playoff Saturday

Will Detroit take it all in Orlando? It certainly appears so and Public is heavy on Detroit and Over.
I kind of like Pistons myself and think they will pull away in the 2nd half. But what really caught my interest is the Total 182.5~183 with money pushing the Over.
The teams have matched up Over, but I see the Over trend as a bias when the games are played in Detroit not in Orlando. Magic at home are 14-27-1 O/U with Pistons on road 15-27-0 O/U and the Books opened the line at 181. This is the last chance for Orlando Magic they will tighten up, attack the glass and scores will not come cheap.

Waiting for the number to settle down, but 183 or higher looks like a good Under.

Got caught up in Baseball got lucky and missed the losing Under wager, but also missed another play I was considering Houston at Utah Under 185 so I'll try again tomorrow.

Taking one game tonight. Nets to go up on the series at home and cover on this classic zig zag match.

NBA Playoff Thrusday

Playing baseball and basketball tonight.
Rockets at Jazz. Utah has lacked and they are not playing their best game. Books are saying they will bounce back at home, but doesn't gain much of my confidence. Give me T-Mac, Yao and company to take care of business on the road.

HOU +4.5 at +102 for 2 units(L)


Suns at Lakers. Another match where home team gives me little to back. Kobe looking a bit worn and Suns are surging.

PHO -4 at +101 for 1 unit(L)

Took Lakers in-game-live to wipe out the two losses, but posted plays were very square.

NBA Playoff Tuesday

I really liked Miami at Chicago Over 182, but dragged my feet and now it's jumped 2 points!

The other game is New Jersey at Toronto. I put a mark on Raptors at the start of the season having strong feeling this team was going to be a winner this season and they have performed.
Moving forward in playoffs against a seasoned team and giving up points is another matter.
I'm not writing off Toronto just waiting for the right spot most likely on the road.
Tonight go with the Nets.

NJN +5.5 at -105 for 2 units(L)
Loser by 0.5 points and this also looked like a winner all the way.

NBA Playoff Monday

I have one take tonight, Utah at Houston.
I see the game to unfold as a tough defensive match up. Jazz feel they are better collective and they can strike if they control Yao and McGrady which means closing the inside. The physical battle will suite Rockets fine Yao will post up against anybody. Now let's have a off shooting night with countless turn overs.

UTA/HOU UNDER 185 at -107 for 3 units(L)

NBA Monday

Boston at Miami
Two Under trending teams meet up with the season winding down. Celtics have failed to reach +99 points in 9 of last 10 regulation and 8 of last 10 with one OT game. Their O/U record is 6-4 for last 10 and that's due to their porous defense giving up four +99 points & two +95 points in last 10 games. Boston also receives fairly low numbers due to their depleted starters. Heat is definitely a solid Under trending team. Heat has not scored over +99 points in 9 of last 10 regulation and 8 of last 10 with one OT game. Their O/U record is 4-6 with 2 of the 4 Overs coming due to OT. In the South East they are the next best Under team after Orlando. But With Wade getting warmed up since returning to the line up Miami's number should rise. Heat has cracked +99 points against Indy in last game. Boston will look to step it up as they almost pulled off a 4th quarter come back in Orlando. Nice spot for a scoring increase. No need for anyone to get hurt let the players play.

BOS/MIA OVER 189 at -101 for 2 units(L)

Ahh, one basket and 1 second difference going to OT. Close but no cigar.

NBA Saturday (April 14, 2007)

Time flies doesn't it? I wasn't planning to take this many days off, but it happens.
So what do we have going on? Late Saturday game for all those lonely degenerates at home who may stumble onto my blog.

Supersonics at Trail Blazers
This game may not get much attention but Sonics +1 is a keeper. Sonics will one up Portland's secondary squad and that's what I'll back tonight.

NBA Tuesday

Sorry for the hiatus had places to go people to see. Now I'm back in my humble abode looking at a number that's killed me during the season, Low numbers looking Under game Toronto at Miami. Number's had little swing and by simple measures it has that "easily reachable" first glance and many similar style games did exactly that during this season. But given the cast of characters with stage set in Miami I have to say the nature of this game is Under and though 186~186.5 is a low Total with money moving Over I will take the risk on Under get paid some extra clams.

TOR/MIA UNDER 186 at +109 for 2 units(W)

2nd half slow down to make this a winner
