NBA
 

It all begins tonight. Some really good matchups. Clearly the Heat at Celtics is the big one, but seeing Yao back and how Portland plays without the 2 bigs is intriguing enough.
The Heat line opened as a pick, right now its Heat minus 1.5. I almost want to play Boston, but might sit chilly and enjoy.

Please post your picks/bets for our enjoyment

I will, if I play.
Who do you like tonight?

Heat minus 1.5 $110-$100
Over 187.5 $110-$100

Portland minus 6.5 $110-$100

Houston plus 7 $110-$100

The Heat Celtics total has moved 5.5 points. I guess people are thinking defense. Ill go the other way.

We should treat this as a running thread, like Coach's football thread.

I bet Boston +1.5

I was planning on it, but no way I will be betting Baseketball daily. Good Luck with Boston, my gut said Boston... Maybe thats why Im a bad sports gambler.

Your gut was actually telling you to stop eating.

I'm not even going to watch now.

So good to have LeBrick back clanging open jumpers.

I wish I could see this.



Are they performing the box and LeMoi?

More like the triangle and durrrrrr. Wade looks even worse than LeDouche.

Gee, he has only 6 to's through not even 3 and a half quarters.

Yeah he's been his usual efficient self.

stiffness

8 to's now....Wade has chipped in 6.....not a bad dynamic duo...

I have never seen so many offensive fouls called in a game.

Are they right though?


And predominantly against ...who?

They were calling them against both teams. Just a lot of them. At least 4 or 5 in the 4th quarter alone.

Trying to keep the score down.



NBA point shaving at its best.

Well LeMois almost got a dubba -dubba.

He scored 6 whole 4th quarter points. That's clutch for him.

Witness!!




He shot more than Wade....and Wade was awful.

The drums of discontent are almost audible already.

They'll be good, but they're a traveling circus, not a team, and it won't be the Washington Generals staring them down in the playoffs.

Rondo had more assists than the Heat.

Good, but not the great they are supposedly to be.



I love Barkley.

Barkley=CeeLo.

:D

LeWade look sharp in the postgame. And isn't that what really matters? :rolleyes:

Its Game 1. Ill predict they go no worse then 67-15

The Lakers are top two out west. Damn this limb is shaky. I'm out here risking it, brah!

snarf!!

Aren't you a Celtics fan?

yeah, then they do the playoffs after that. that's sort of been the problem with that guy.

Heat have some work to do...that 9 point first quarter was beyond awful, thought I was watching Cleveland in the third quarter as it was Lebron playing one on five. Tough task, no PT for Wade in preseason and he was lost, give credit to Celtics for great defense...hopefully Heat will look a lot better tonight. Lakers had all they could handle against a good Houston squad but found a way to eek out a win.

I been a Knicks fan all my life. I have always loved PP and KG, plus been to a number of games the past 3 years with my uncle, so I have cheered for them as the Knicks have been horrible.

2-2 Minus $20

Wednesday Games, Locking lines in now. Gotta work 1-midnight.

Nets minus 3.5 $55-$50

Knicks plus 1.5 $165-$150

Clippers plus 3 $55-$50

Celtics minus 4 $55-$50

Good Luck

Understandable that the Knicks and their organization has been horrible over the past decade and have made many people jump off the bandwagon. But getting on the bandwagon and rooting for the Celtics is almost sacrilegious. I can't understand how someone could root for a team that's supposed to be your arch enemy.

The NBA for me, has turned into a players league. The year the Heat traded for Shaq I made a future on them, Knicks sucked I watched and followed the Heat all year. ETC. No bandwagon, just players I have liked and respected. I LOVE THE KNICKS TONIGHT. Toronto does not have much on that roster, should be a nice start.
