NBA Thread

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:

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 · 15-01-2011 6:33am

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.

Kod-box · 15-01-2011 7:20am

My log is cursed for b'ball bets man, supersticion is why :pac:

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?

15-01-2011 6:30pm

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 · 15-01-2011 6:48pm

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 · 15-01-2011 6:50pm

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

15-01-2011 7:13pm

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 · 15-01-2011 7:26pm

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 · 16-01-2011 12:58am

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 · 16-01-2011 1:01am

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 · 16-01-2011 2:42pm

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 · 16-01-2011 3:06pm

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

16-01-2011 3:25pm

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 · 16-01-2011 3:58pm

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.
