Where do you get your lines?

Where do you get your lines?

I make them myself. I try to use http://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/las-vegas/ as a way to set them up, but they don't always have them up too far in advance so I just go with what I think an appropriate line would be. So far they've been pretty accurate.

Hahahaha. Portland over Indy? You goddamn hater. You are going to lose that one. That's a revenge game for Indy. Only way you win it, is if Lance isn't playing after tonight.

Wasn't the Suns game a revenge game also?

4 games you picked won't count. 3 of those 4 games are already over and the other one is in the 3rd quarter so I won't count them as losses, but they won't count as wins either. Your W-L this week will be off of 10 games instead of 14. Glad you got them in, though!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Looks like I did a good job of making the Blazers-Knicks spread +3.5. Blazers won by 4. haha

Welcome Botslayer & Ruby and welcome back Horns
Double-check to see if I made any mistakes... Will have the games and a tie-breaker up for next week soon. Games will be Wed-Thurs since it's a short week. More games will have spreads because of this.

This week's winner: Congrats to TurnUpTheHeat for going 11-3 which was the best overall record. He's been killing it lately. Myself and BSK are right behind him with GT and Logic both consistently putting together solid weeks. Most wins and best winning percentage = the two winners at the end of the year. Also thinking about doing playoffs possibly? What would you all think...

Winners: Lakers, Pelicans, Heat, Pacers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Pistons, Suns, Bulls, Nets, Nets, Jazz, Blazers, Mavericks.
Tiebreaker: 231
