NBA Thread

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Thought the NBA warrants a thread of its own on here, there's a few posters around that seem to be interested in it and instead of filling the chat thread or logs with talk about it, I thought it'd be better to have a thread for it.
I could be wrong though.:P

Starting to take more interest in it myself lately, that interest isn't equalling money though.:pac:

Bumsex

ya it does , nice call..;)

Fúckin PP have no live market for Portland @ Phoenix.:(

But they do however, have a live market for Adelaide United Women v Perth Glory Women in football, where's the sense in that?:pac:

Im on Suns to win this game now 13/8 (3pts down at h/t), terrible start and missing some easy baskets but surely they will pull it together in the 2nd half...

Good shout on the topic btw, im having a dreadful night betting so far, Knicks were a disgrace to the game ffs.

Kod-box

covering earlier bets i thrw €150 on

another €150 now on Suns (+2.5pts) @ 5/6, they're losing by 1pt so i think them odds are insane.

well done,that 3 pointer by him did it..nice lump won there..;)
out of interest why didnt you put it in the log??

Good shout lads. I was literally going to PM pyro today,wouldn't a Basketball Sub forum be a good shout or is it just me?

Anyone having anything on Heat at Bulls?
LeBron is expected to play tonight so that's obviously a plus for Heat, but Chicago have won their last 7 home games so they'll be tough to beat.

Think I might take Heat(-2.5) @ 10/11 and double it with Magic(-7.0) at Timberwolves @ 10/11.

UrbanSea

Not going near the Heat game. I have magic -7 too along with Nuggets -15. And portland straight win and a bet that is escaping me.

UrbanSea

The one I couldn't remember was sacramento. They are getting hammered into

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Solid enough bets I'd say, Cavs are terrible.
Yeah the Miami game will be the closest of the night I'd say, but I'll probably watch it so I said I might aswell have some interest in it.:pac:

Raptors +5.0 @ 10/11 against the Wizards is decent, imo.

Woddle

Great idea for a thread.

3 bets for me tonight.

Toronto V Washington
under 209.5 pts 1.94 on betfair
They have a combined points per game total of 197.5, Washington may have both Blatche (16.1 PPG) and Young (15.9 PPG) out while Toronto may be missing Barbosa (13.4 PPG)

Sacramento v Detroit
under 199.5 pts @ 1.9 on betfair
They have a combined PPG of 192.2

Orlando V Minnesota
Under 208.5 pts @ 2.02 on betfair
They have a combined PPG of 201.6 and Minnesota may be missing Beasley (20.9 PPG)

Hopefully man,Sacramento look a danger bet,but they've been playing fantastic ball lately,beat the Lakers last week too.

Anyone know for sure if LeBron is back tonight??

Hard to know, doubtful is all I can find.

Kod-box

Hmm I might chamce them +2 anyway, although overs is very appealing, after a 30 pts hammering they should be fired up for the win though.

I've seen that he's expected to start around a few places.

Kod-box

The lines are gone now on Boyles and its both teams 91/100 so he must be playing

Wizards win by 3.
Heat up by five and Orlando down by 7 at HT.

2 from 3 ain't bad a huge half of scoring destroyed me in Sacramento

Heat lose by 3 and Magic win by 9. 2/3 predictions ain't bad. Even if the double lost.:o

Woddle

For tonight I'm thinking of, any thoughts?

Denver +7.5 V Spurs @ 1.83 on PP
and maybe to go over 211.5

LA Lakers -5.5 V Clippers @ 1.94 on betfair

UrbanSea

I'm not touching either of those I don't think. Clippers have been playing some great ball lately and at home against Lakers,they're not gonna want to lose in front of their own fans.

Edit: I am an idiot. Not touching that,I'd go Clippers on the spread if anything

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Clippers are to unpredictable for me this season to back or back against, tbh. Lakers are on a good streak, atm and they hopped off the Cavs, though. Clippers +5.5 would be safer than Lakers -5.5 I'd say, but don't take any notice of me.:P
Think I might go over 196.5 points, though. Combined, the teams score an average of 202 points and concede 197 per game.

San Antonio v Denver will be a class game, I'd say. Two of the highest scoring teams and Denver are leaking points an unreal amount. Overs being 211.5 is a bit too high, imo. If it was 206.5 I'd be all over it, but I'm not too sure about 211.5. Denver scored 130 against a LeBron-less Miami, though so it's very possible that it could get over 211.
If Denver play like they did against Miami the +7.5 should be pretty safe I'd say.

UrbanSea

Did you mean San Antonio baz?
Clippers had a nice roll going too though,only ended when losing to GS. Won 8 of their last 12.

Yeah, I'm not with it today.:o

Woddle

These 2 for me, only a small interest one in the second.

Denver +8.5 V Spurs @ 1.8 on betfair

LA Lakers -5.5 V Clippers @ 1.94 on betfair

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Clippers win 99-92.

storykid

serious amount of matches on later!
so far ive gone for Dallas Mavericks -4.5 vs detroit pistons
GS warriors -7 vs New jersey

Woddle

Any thoughts on Atlanta V Miami.
I see Miami could be missing le bron, Wade and Bosh.
3.40 the Atlanta win on betfair, unders could also be appealing.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Unders could be good, depending on the spread.
PP won't have the prices up for that game until 8 tonight.:/

Betfair have it at 189.5

3hn2givr7mx1sc

DWade is likely to be back for tonight according to ESPN.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6033439

He and James won't be 100% if they do play, though.

Bumsex

would be confident Bobcats covering the spread tonight,there +8.
which is something i will be betting on...
havent looked at the miami game yet as i want to see pps take on the game before betting with william hill..:pac:

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Yeah thought the Bobcats +8 was fairly generous myself, I've the under 185.0 backed in that.

ButtersSuki

Hey folks,

New to this thread so go easy on me.......

Just thought if you're looking for NBA stats, active players, injuries etc. for each game, nba.com do a fantastic game companion that gives stats on pretty much everything:
http://www.nba.com/tvc/index.html?gamecode=20110118/CHACHI&brand=NBA

You can access these near the top of nba.com, in the section that shows which games are on that night. By scrolling over any game, you'll get the game companion for that game.

The real detail is in the game notes:
http://www.nba.com/bobcats/news/notes.pdf
http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/notes.pdf

Hope it's of some assistance!:)

3hn2givr7mx1sc

PP have overs/unders at 191.0 for Heat game.

NBA Matches
Charlotte Bobcats At Chicago Bulls
2011-01-19 01:05:00
Handicap Betting
Charlotte Bobcats (+8.5)
100


Currently +8.But will wait for in play again.
The Bulls are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 home games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Bobcats on the other hand are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Bobcats have lost three straight and have struggled on the road all season, facing Chicago is not going to be an easy task but it will not be a walkover. On the positive side, the Bobcats defeated the Bulls less than a week ago. Carlos Boozer was in the lineup. Its still uncertain whether he will play tonight,that i one of the main reasons why im holding off but i still think it will be a very close fought game as the Charlotte squad is a tough bunch,which they have shown in recent games despite losing.

jive

heat / hawks game started out at over 192.5 on bet365 currently at 173.5 but was as low as 170.5. Going to see if it drops any lower but if it starts to pick up i'm going to jump on before it goes above 175 because this game should pick up now and see the points go on the board (hopefully!). hawks up by 8 so heat have some catching to do

jive

taken over 170.5 @5/6. hopefully the scoring picks up now

Bumsex

miami went 11 shots in a row,missing every 1 of them,which is not heard of..
they have some of there big names back,even though james is back he isnt playing the best,hopefully he can pick it up along with the rest of the team to win this currently 12 down with a minute into the 2nd q.
4 from 20 by miami,surely they will improve.:o

100 on miami plus +2.5 points

you too still floatin around the 170 mark anyway, i love when you place a bet on the overs and then it just rockets back up to the 180s after a few quick scores hahah. fingers crossed. miami should bounce back tonight, only bosh missing really. wade and lebron should do the business

Bumsex

that was a foul if i ever saw one,that lead to a 3 pointer..:o
down by 13 and are still pretty bad..
bet taken on the bobcats as well.

Bumsex

13 points run for miami.....:pac:

you have to love that like,hopefully their defense will stay strong now and end their losing streak tonight...
