my advice is borderline worthless because im not much of an nba guy (or ncaa fb guy). mma and nfl are my two areas of expertise errrr.... interest. but here are my uneducated opinions/thoughts.
i dont trust the C's on the 2nd game of a back to back. I think it really takes a toll on the older big 3 and Rondo cant do it all by himself.
i really really really hope that i'm wrong because I am a Clips fan, but I think that OKC comes into LA tonight and lays the wood. In watching the Clips, their offense looks a bit stagnant even when Foye or BD is running the point. If BD is not playing, I dont see how a rookie Bledsoe is going to do the same or better (full disclosure: I did not catch the last game where he started). If anything, the offense is just going to look worse with Bledsoe in the game.

I know this is very late and of no consolation to you but I was listening to Bill Simmons' most recent podcast and he abhors Baron Davis' play, suggesting that he is a detriment to the team. Tonight's outcome against OKC seems to validate his point, albeit marginally.Originally Posted by Mojodmonky1

I took the Bucks ML last night -145 and they lost.... had $60 on it, but of course the 3 team parlay (Hawks -4 Heat -16.5 LAL -9) that I did just for kicks hit $8 to win $60...So it goes i guess..
I honestly didnt get to watch any of the games I bet on last night, but I am going to ride the Lakers again tonight on the assumption that Jackson sat his starters for much of the 2H in a blowout.
1u - 2 team parlay
Lakers -5
OKC -8.5
I really really really hate betting against my teams (Clippers), but if BD doesn't go today, this should be a cakewalk. Clips have looked stagnant all season, and OKC seems to be underperforming. If BD is sidelined by that knee again, they are gonna be in a world of trouble having Bledsoe play big minutes at point. Clips are 0-4 ATS this season. If they are going to buck that trend and cover, I hope they do so by pulling out the W. Blake needs to get his first professional W under his belt sooner than later.

Put down $30 on GT +13 to win $27.27. The weather should be pretty %+$$*# in Blacksburg tonight so I can see GT dominating time of possession. Hopefully they can get on the board early so they won't have to play from behind, which is an absolute killer for them.
Here is a write up from a dude on another board that I look at:
Here is a write up from a dude on another board that I look at:
Spoiler [+]
Georgia Tech
The premise of the bet is line variance. I understand that Blacksburg is a difficult place to play on a Thursday night and this GT is not near as good as they have been the past few years under Johnson, but I think VT is a farce this season and the line has gotten out of whack.
This has been a close game the past two years since Johnson took over.
GT won 28-23 last year and VT won 20-17 in 2008.
I think that in general, it is obviously a major advantage to the defense to have extra prep time when facing trhe triple option. VT has that this week, but one thing working against them in this game defensively, is the fact that vast majority of this defense has never seen the triple option. It is rare to have a VT defense that came into the season so green, but by having that, none of these guys have a ton of experience against this type of offense, except for what is emmulated in practice by the scout team.
The GT defense has had plenty of problems tackling and ultimately with their transition to the 3-4 under Groh for the first part of this season. I don't think that the off week is going to remedy that completely, but I think having the time off for a relatively undersized group that lacks experienced depth will translate into better performance after healing up. VT is running the football with half the guys on the 85 man roster it seems like and doing it pretty well. Of the 8 teams that they have played though, I guess you could classify two of their opponents as above average defensively. I think GT is sorta a tier just below those two, but the defense isn't going to be what makes or breaks this bet in the end. IMO.
I think very highly of APJ as a football coach and I believe that he can right the ship for the Jackets down the home stretch. Nesbitt had a terrible day running the football and really just running the offense against Clemson. That doesn't come as much of a surprise to me with the frequency that Clemson has faced this offense in the past two seasons, and how they did pretty well in 2 of the 3 matchups. GT has run the football in their trip option offense 113 times for 587 yards (5.2 ypc) the past two seasons. Like I said before, both of those teams had more personnel that had faced this type of offense before, and while both of these defensively are only currently 4 points or so better in terms of what they allow vs. what this team is allowing, it is very evident to me when watching that this is very far from a typical VT defense. While I think that VT has put together a nice little run after the disasterous start, the only above average team that they have beat is NC St, whose legitimacy is up for debate, and it took what Beamer refered to as the greatest comback in his tenure at VT to win that game after trailing by 3 or 4 scores at one point. Johnson has always been better ATS on the road than he has been at home, and he is easily one of the best road dogs ATS int he past decade (don't have numbers with me). Three scores is too much in an ACC conf game where there is no rhyme or reason for the most part each week. GT is a very live dog that can score points with a coach who thrives in the underdog role. I don't realistically expect a GT outright win, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised whatsoever if they got the W.

hahahaha boy was i wrong on that pick.
i think im just lying to myself. I yearn for the days of "contract season" BD who can absolutely light it up. I keep hoping that he will turn it around and actually be focused on his conditioning so he can be playing in tip top shape, but its lookin more and more like you cant teach and old dog new tricks.
good win for the clips though. i aint mad bout losin $25 at the expense of their 1st win.

I got over 28 for the second half of this GT/VT game.
The first half had two picks in the end zone last half and scored 21 total, so I'm hoping this half those opportunities will be converted into points.
EDIT- Won GT +13 and pushed on the second half over. Now at $200 in my bodog account. I'm going to watch this half then might do an over under/spread play for the NBA game.

I was planning on making a play on Seattle to cover and was probably gonna throw a big on the ML too. Definitely not touching it now though. One play this week I really like is the Buf ML at +125. they're bound to win at some point, and they've really been playing a lot better with Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Chicago has not been good lately so this is a pick I feel comfortable with.
