NBA thread lets have a go...
 
Let the discussion begin then....

For tomorrow im looking at Cleveland to win and cover against the Rockets.

The over in the Indiana/Bobcats game. (over 186)

The under in Utah/Clippers game.(186)

Detroit Ml against the Wizards.

Tell me something about yourself knowledge and your betting history. How long have u been at it and what have u been betting on over the years?
The kings won but failed to cover against the Breakers tonight which was something of a surprise. The Wildcats game is coming up shortly and im thinking they beat the 36ers at home.

Mate the Kings nearly blew it tonight. I am happy though had Roberts to outscore Smith, Pepper and Chappell at $3.80.

Just reinvested some of those winnings on Crawford to outscore Maher, Holmes and Grace in the Wildcats v 36ers match at $3.40.

So C'mon Crawford!!

Halfway through the first quarter

Crawford 9
Holmes 7

Just had a quick look over the NBA.

My initial thoughts are

Wizards +2 v Pistons - Pistons haven't been very impressive recently, they struggle to score and I think they will find it hard to shut down the Wizards completely as they have 3 legitimate weapons in Jamison, Hughes and Arenas.

Cavaliers ML and -4.5 v Rockets - Cavs look to match up pretty well against the Rockets and right now it seems like Lebron is unstoppable.

Pacers -3 @ Bobcats - Indiana beat the Bobcats earlier this year by 5 in Charlotte and this time they have O'Neal. I will take the -3 all day!!

Hornets +11.5 v Suns - I love the Suns, but I can't see them backing up too well after last nights drubbing by the Spurs. Phoenix looked like they ran out of gas in the second half, so it's tough to see them having a whole bunch of energy for this game.

Not looking bad with my bet at half time.

Crawford 15
Holmes 12
Maher 7
Grace 0

Glad I didn't take Perth, Ellis isn't playing and they are getting hammered 53-39. Farley is killing them - he has 16.

Just need Holmes to have a quiet 2nd half and I should be right.

I had a feeling Perth would lose.

1. They rarely win when they're favourite.
2. There's always an upset on Wednesday.

sparkus8 29th December 2004 10:57 PM

I always steer clear of Perth now. They have burned me to many times this year!

Geez Crawford hasn't scored yet in the 3rd quarter, I could be gone!!

Holmes 16
Crawford 15
Maher 11
Grace 0

sparkus8 29th December 2004 11:32 PM

Well my bet is toast!!!

Crawford just got subbed out with 2.30 mins to go in the game and didn't score in the second half!! He had 11 points 8 mins into the game and then went ice cold.

Maher 19
Holmes 18
Crawford 15
Grace 0

Man I thought I was home at HT. No Ellis, Grace got injured I figured the scoring would definitely fall on Lett and Crawford. No wonder the Wildcats got hammered.

Final Score 36ers 110-88

knowledge 30th December 2004 09:13 AM

Indiana Pacers at Charlotte Bobcats
Indiana -4
