[HappyKane]

[FONT=&quot]One and a half month into the season and we get a clearer picture of the lay of the land. Mostly same 'ole stuff. Pistons and Knicks finally over .500 but watch them struggle to stay relevant. Charlotte making a push in the East. Play-off seeding in the West will be competitive as ever, Dallas exempt.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I've a few remarks in observance of tonight's slate of teams.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Detroit: Pistons: least turn-overs commited in the league, right above Charlotte. #2 defense, right behind Utah. 11 straight games limiting opponents to less than 100 points at home. 8-3 ATS at home, 4-8 ATS on the road.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Charlotte: Hornets: defense lacking a bit recently but still very decent under Clifford's tenure.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Revenge spot for Charlotte tonight. They will meet again on Jan 5 and Feb 23.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Orlando eam improvements: offensive rebound, 3-point defense, overall defense. Got a little win streak going.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Denver: offense have improved at the sacrifice of defense as Will Barton replaces Gary Harris as starting guard. Harris may return next week. 11 games on the road and Denver have covered 8 of those. Still a great rebounding team; will keep them in most games. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Brooklyn: no improvements; metrics show a regression actually.

[FONT=&quot]Miami: team is riddled with injury. Dragic playing gimpy, might have over exerted himself against New York. Haslem called out of the retirement home last night. Interior defense is still very good as long as Whiteside is there to anchor the position. But 3-point defense has been porous with the absence of Winslow. Derrick Williams is a terrible sub -- lazy player overall; limited talent ceiling.
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Atlanta: I am pretty sure Dwight Howard is a curse to whatever team he goes to. Lots of regressive metrics: 3-point shooting is highly off the mark as well as rebounding. This team have no hustle. Middle of November the team was 11-2. Stay clear. 2-8 ATS last 10 games.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Portland: lots of offense, not enough defense; will loses lead in the 4th quarter -- can't close.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Milwaukee: problems closing games also. 4th quarter runs fall short. Much improved rebounding after a very slow start for Greg Monroe. One superstar point-guard away from being a perennial contender.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Lakers: Brandon Ingram improving (most likely because of the absence of DeAngelo Russel and Nick Young) but backcourt is getting thin. Probably played their best defense against the Bulls. Much improved offensive rebounding; Luke Walton keeps his guys amped and hustling. Best bench scoring in league.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Houston: Quietly making strides in the West. Bench have been tremendous, particularly Eric Gordon and Montrezl Harrell. Very good rebounding team: Donatas Motiejunas making a come-back.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Cleveland: Once a top-5 defense is just very mediocre now.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Knicks: Hot! Carmelo season high against the Heat. Derrick Rose left early, did not return -- remains questionable.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kings: can't win games but they're trying. 7-3 ATS last 10.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Pacers. Not much hustle from this team. They have to score 110 points a night to win games.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Suns: haven't touched the Suns all season long.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Warriors: highly improved metrics, particularly rebounding on both ends.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Clippers: sloppy defense as of late. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Will most likely just have a small play on the Warriors tonight. Like Thursday's card better.[/FONT]

what does TNT prime time special mean? i thought it was for only the dogs?

i keep a tab on the TNT games because those are the lopsided games where the spread does not matter. tonight either the raptors blowout the wolves or Minnesota wins straight-up. Same thing for the Spurs/Bulls game, i think.

Generally, the Thursday TNT games are easier to pick. The idea is, you don't take an underdog unless you think that underdog can win straight-up. Remember last week? Rockets vs Warriors?

[FONT=&quot]Saturday, December 10 NBA:

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>Wizards coming off a win with bad mojo? Watch the Bucks thrash them tonight. This is a situation where my system works best.

Brutal schedule for Sacramento. Just got home from a long road trip. Now on the road again. In high elevation, of all places.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

DOUBLE PLAY: MILWAUKEE +2½ -115 for 1st HALF $115 to win $100

DOUBLE PLAY: UTAH -3½ -110 for 1st HALF $110 to win $100

<colgroup style="box-sizing: content-box;"><col style="box-sizing: content-box;"></colgroup><tbody style="box-sizing: content-box;">
</tbody>

Double-up on Milwaukee 2nd Half if 1st Half bet loses.
Double-up on Utah 2nd half if 1st Half bet loses.



You get the idea.


Two chance to be right instead of one chance when betting the whole game. Two chances to be wrong but lets have the ledger speak for itself at the end of the season.
