YTD 10-9, +.3 Units

Treading water thus far early on in the season. Hoping to gain some units today to finish off the week strong. Here is what I have thus far for Sunday....

New York Knicks +4 2 Units

Although the Jazz are undefeated, I am not a big believer. Espcially without Deron Williams. The combined record of their opposition thus far is 6-22. They have played some real bad teams. Jazz were a bad road team last year, going 17-24. They are a different team away from Utah, where they usually get every single call. They lost last season to this Knicks team in New York. Knicks have made progress since then. Huge coaching improvement for New York. Will take the home dog here.

Los Angeles Clippers +5.5 2 Units

Going to take a stab here with the Clippers. Mostly a play going against the Mavs, who I do not think deserve to be this large of a favorite on the road. Mavs time has come and gone. Josh Howard should play, but wrist is less than 100%. Hoping Clippers can put together a full game this time around, as they have been fairly competetive in the first half of most games. Just usually lose it in the second half. I'm thinking the Clips keep this one close, if not win outright.

Will have some late plays also. Just wanted to get these two early ones out there. Be back soon....

Writeup for Boston/Detroit Over....

Boston/Detroit Over 185.5 2 Units

Celtics defense not as good on the road. Still very solid, but not like it is at home. They are giving up about 5 points more per game on the road. Pistons scoring the ball great thus far this season, averaging 103 ppg. Getting a great scorer in Iverson should not hurt that much. However, should probably hurt on defense. Iverson not a good defender. Pistons defense not as good as previous years. So far they are allowing the opposition to shoot close to 47% from the field, while allowing close to 97 ppg. Celts have scored the ball real well all season, besides the lame effort at Indy. They should be able to hang 90+ here. So should Detroit. Going over.

Back in a few....

Nice calls on the first 2.

It takes balls to pick a winless team that has been playing so badly like the Clippers have.

Nice hit today SB. There are 4 home dogs on the card, you picked the only two that I think are going to make it home. Charlotte already missed their cover, I think Okl City is going to do the same. Hope so, got the Hawks in a rare road chalk play tonight. Good job man....

Adding the following:

Oklahoma City Thunder +4 2 Units

Already faded one overrated, undefeated team today. Won fading the Jazz earlier and going to fade the Hawks this time. Hawks are good, but nothing special. This team only won 30 something games last season, including winning just 12 games all season on the road. That is awful. They were also 0-4 on the road in the playoffs. I am well aware they are 4-0, including 2-0 on the road, but I do not buy it. Now they are without Josh Smith, who is out with a bad ankle. They no longer have Childress to plug in, as he is off playing in Europe. Not too sold on the Hawks depth. I know the Thunder are nothing special either, however I was impressed with their second half comeback last time out. They actually have a solid homecourt advantage. Playing on another small home dog who has a chance at the outright victory.

Back later....

ahhhhh... better push than a loser... I thougt I took OKC +4.5 at bwin and when I checked few minutes before tip off I realized that I didn't complete the bet. So I took the last available line at the Greek at +4... I hate myself right now...

GL on under play!

Man that was hard to watch on several levels. First, the Thunder had a 7 point lead with about 6 minutes to go. Secondly, when I first circled this as a play, the line was Thunder +5. It later went down to +4.5. I got neither. Instead pushed with +4. And lastly, Earl Watson missed a layup right at the end that could have got us the cover. At least the blown lead did not result in a loss.

Fitting way to lose my final play of the day. By a half point. Needed a 56 point 4Q to beat me and that is exactly what I got. Lakers scored 39 of the 56. Gut wrenching loss.

Could have been a very, very good day. Instead splitsville, going 2-2 with a push.

Be back tomorrow....

Yeah, I was wondering how that ended. I was following on sportsline.com and all it said was that he missed a layup.

Too bad about that total. We've all missed totals like that by 1/2 point. I have every confidence that you will do well this season.

I'll try to forget this day... I can't believe my luck... Was talking on a phone while putting my bets and fail to complete +4.5 bet on the OKC... took it +4 - PUSH... I said bad luck, but it happens...
Saw a new SB's post - LAL under 192,5... went to see the lines on my offshore accounts... pinnacle 192,5 -101 (if bought to 193 -108), the greek 193 -110... bwin 191,5... normally, I would always buy that ' if the odds for that are -110 or better, but since I got I push on OKC I said to myself - UNDER 192,5 -101... less vigorish - more money... at the end - no money! serves my right!
Fuck... what is luck... instead of being unit up... I'm unit down...

GL guys!
