New to RX

[Anfield]

I've always followed RX forum, and I finally decided to share my picks and always open to what people have to say. I've always done football and soccer capping, and just started to basketball this season. I know I have a long way to go..

Here are my picks for today March 16.

1. Orlando Magics -6 vs Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks play back to back after another embarrassing loss to the Hawks. Bucks need to bounce back but I believe Magics are too strong for the Bucks, especially with the way they've been playing. I could also see this game go under 181.5.

2. Dallas Mavericks -4 vs Golden State Warriors

Hard loss last night for the Mavs, after shooting so well. Warriors looked hot when they ended Kevin Love's streak. Then looked depleted against, the Kings afterwards. It looked pathetic how Warriors coach took out many of his starters for the 4th quarter. Mavericks may be playing back to back, but it's not a great distance. I see Mavs coming in and taking a early lead, and continue to shoot well. Mavs won 4 SU against, 2-2 ATS the 2 ATS loss were when Warriors were heavy underdogs. The only worry I have is Chandler fouling and giving up points.


YTD: 0-0

4 point teaser 3 teamer.
1. Magics -2
2. Mavs +2
3. Thunders +11.5 ( I just don't like the Heats, I'm hoping Thunders will in SU. 11 point margin also seems safe. )

Thank you Escobar, I saw your picks before I did my bets. I was leaning on Clippers, but decided to not touch it.

Couldn't believe how poorly Magics played against the Bucks. It was hard to tell if Bucks played better, or Magics slipped badly.

I almost stopped watching the Mavs/Warriors game with that horrible start by the Mavs. Glad they got their heads back in the game to be able to turn it around and win. I don't know if Mavs got lucky with Stephen Curry not playing well or not with the way Law played.

YTD: 1-1

Correction on the teaser, I had Mavs at PK not +2...happy I won and to see Durant and company beating the Heats at home.

Anfield, welcome to the cool kids club.

 

[Anfield]

Thanks Au_H2O I already feel a bit cooler.

No picks tonight with only 3 games, I only have small beer money down on Portland and D Rose and company. Blazers seem way too favored tonight to put confident money down on and I know Bulls just have a hard time against the Nets. Plus I'm not sure on the status of Noah.

BOL to everybody tonight!

Good write ups.
Welcome.

Wow, the Blazers actually covered last night against Cavs, I knew it would be a blow out but couldn't see them winning by more than 10.

Anyways here are my write up and picks for March 18. YTD: 1-1

1. Chicago Bulls -4.5 vs Indian Pacers
The Pacers just might need to pay attention this game, more than others. If things go the way they are now, the Pacers will be meeting Bulls in the playoff. There isn't much to say, but I'm going with the better team, a red hot team in fact. In the last 10 meetings, Bulls have won SU&ATS 7 times out of the 10 meetings. I'm also liking the Under 190.5, I see Bulls taking care of business as usual.

2. Denver Nuggets +6 vs Orlando Magics
I watched the Bucks and Magics game, and was surprised at how lousy the Magics were playing. Magics just seem to have a hard time keeping the ball right now, they caused 16turnovers vs. Bucks. I only see the Nuggets giving them even harder of a time than the Bucks ever could. Plus the fact is Nuggets can score, it seems like everybody on the team is scoring these days. While on the Magics, Howards about the only one who can find the net. Turkoglu starts to step it up during crunch time, but I believe by then it's already too late. It's hard to pick rather or not if this game will or go over or under to me. The Nuggets to me are a different team compared to Carmelo's Nuggets we know from the past, we know they can score. However Nuggets have a hard time becoming red hot on scoring lately.

3. Miami Heats -6 vs Atlanta Hawks
Yuck the Heats, but I will pick the better team here. Certainly it's hard to tell what sort of Hawks will show up for this game, least the Heats have stayed consistent. It'll be interesting to see how Bibby will perform against his old teammates, from the looks of it future would of been better for both Bilbby and Hawks if Bibby could of stayed. ATS seems to favor the Hawks, however this is different team without Bibby and Al Horford was actually almost hard to find last game. Another fact that shifts things over to the Heats is that 4 of the last 7 Hawk's losses have come at home. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh should be able to make their money's worth this game.

4. New York Knicks -3.5 vs Detroit Pistons
Knicks come into Detroit have a well played win against the Grizzlies, Knicks even held Grizzlies under 100 just barely though. The Knicks should have an easier time tonight vs. the poor Pistons. Knicks have been criticized about their defense, well Pistons don't have much of a defense either or none at all. Detroit Pistons leads the league in different numbers of line up 18, they might need more tonight. Richard Hamilton will be out,due to death in a family. D'Anotoni made a interesting comment saying how the Knicks fans need to take a prozac, when asked about their performance since the trade. Pft, I believe many people would agree the Knicks haven't been performing as they might of expected with the line up they have.

BOL tonight everybody!
