nice bet on the Cavs last night- why the heck were the Cavs getting nearly 6 points? that didnt make much sense...i understand in chicago with obama....but memphis? cmon!

KLove played great..the bench played great...that lineup with delly, varejao, rj was just a very smart, defensively savvy, great 3pt shooting (delly and rj), underated lineup- and those are the guys near the end of the Cavs becnh when healthy.

This Cavs team has just so much depth and a very very deep bench.

Yeah I was surprised too, especially since it was Memphis' first game and the Cavs had a game to gel a bit. Once Kyrie and Shump come back there will be some real depth on this team. Should be exciting.

My Thursday, October 29th bets

Griz -3

Knicks +4.5

Mavs +10.5

I took Grizz -3 and Hawks -4.5.

Can I ask your thinking on the Knicks? I look at it as, Hawks got dominated on the boards by Detroit, which is not likely to happen again against the Knicks. Also I think Teague will feast on the PG's of NY. Knicks are on a back to back and Hawks have a day's rest.

Also didn't want to touch the Clippers and Mavs. Too much unknown going on in that game, but GL.

I think the Griz will bounce back and play good enough defense to pull this one out.

Yeah the Knicks was a small bet. I just think Melo will go off this game, they dont have Carroll anymore and Bazemore is too small to guard him and Sefalosha is out.

The Mavs bet was about revenge. I like the Clip to win but keep it within single digits. It could be the opposite DeAndre goes off, but I will take my chances with the points.

Didnt really like any of these games a whole lot tonight but GL to ya.

I'm also taking the knicks

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Cavs only -6 vs Heat tomorrow.

 

[wildturkey]

I've got nothing to base this on except general observations but I believe Overs tend to win out more for the first month or so before leveling off. It's a combination of fresh legs and Vegas not quite knowing where to place the number while they learn each team's tendencies.

Ohhhh man, looking forward to THIS one...

take the cavs.

Good idea...hopefully just to jinx them.

Not feeling great about tomorrow. If it wasn't their home opener I would feel much better but we'll see.

I agree.
Hoping for the best, whatever that is...but I know James takes playing his ex teams pretty personal.
Heat has to play aggressive from the opening tip or it could get ugly like the games did there last year.

Maybe the Cavs show a bit of fatigue playing their 3rd in 4 nights if we can weather the initial emotional storm.

I wouls take the Heat but I dont bet against my team

Could be, but it just depends.

I added a under bet on that Atlanta-New York game for the 2nd half. It's was 101 1/2 and they scorer a shit ton. I have seen a lot of overs so far this season, might be the way to go.

Definitely not gonna touch the Cavs/heat game. Just did a quick glance and I think I might take lakers +7 at the Kings.

Also looking at Denver -4 and Bulls -2.5.

I like those plays. Think I'm going to stay away from the Lakers until I see more of them.
