I’m a Celtics fan myself. But let’s be real—LeBron James always seems to have a massive chip on his shoulder when he plays them, and objectively speaking, they are just the stronger team.
I suppose we could dive into Gauss-Jordan elimination if that’s what everyone is looking for. It’s a standard enough method for solving systems of linear equations by transforming an augmented matrix into reduced row echelon form. I guess it’s a bit more tedious than simple Gaussian elimination since you have to clear out the entries above the pivots as well, but it does provide a very direct path to the solution. Maybe it's worth revisiting if the math is getting a little messy. kaže:
It seems fairly straightforward, though I guess I'm still a little wary of Miami playing on the road. If Allen makes his return, things could get complicated, but then again, a well-rested Miami squad might just handle it regardless. 🙂
If you're looking to put together a more relaxed parlay, I suppose it might be worth considering a play on Garnett and Bargnani over. ☕
Anyway, you're more than welcome to swing by my place a bit before the game starts today—any matchup, really—to grab some Greek souvlaki. ☕
The game starts at 8:00, and I'll probably record it, though who knows what the plan is after that—there's Canada playing around 9:30. We could always get together, but honestly, I think I've had my fill of watching people kick each other in the teeth for one day.😁
Apropos Garnett going over, I’m not sure I agree. It was probably his last game in Minneapolis, so maybe he just wanted to go out on a high note and take more shots than he usually does. That being said, if he's facing Chris Bosh...🤷
Andrew over Washington, D.C.—honestly, that’s basically the backbone of the whole national conversation.
I suppose it might be worth looking into the Over 189 line, especially since Nene isn't in the lineup. It looks like one of those laid-back games you watch on a Sunday.
Houston seems to hit the over almost every single night, and since Indiana usually embraces a fast-paced run-and-gun style, I guess even a total like 192.5 doesn't look like an impossible mountain to climb.
I had the Philadelphia/Atlanta game going over 178.5 last night. Based on the quarters—40, 44, and 44—I figured my bet was already in the bag. Then, out of nowhere, they dropped 57 points in the final quarter. I guess anything can happen. 😁
I had Monroe over 14.5, and he ended up pulling it off. With about eleven and a half minutes left on the clock, he snatched a steal, finished a fast break, and drew a foul to boot. I was rooting for OT with everything I had, and somehow, he actually delivered.
Then they handed him two free throws just 20 seconds before overtime ended, even though he hadn't even attempted a single shot until that point in the extra period.
I went ahead and took the Sacramento under 109.5, along with the overs on both Monta Ellis and Blake Griffin.
Tony Parker and Milwaukee really knocked me off my feet.
I’m actually fine with those role players getting their minutes. It might be even better if he could just get...
