+1 😁

Even if they manage to catch up—say they drop something like 25 points in each of the final two quarters—they’ll look like gods. They aren't actually that bad. 🙂

Even if those guys finally catch their rhythm and start dropping like 25 points in the last two quarters, they'll look like absolute legends, I guess... it's not like they're actually that terrible, right? 🙂

Not bad, they're averaging about 6 dunks through the first quarter 🙏🙏

I suppose I should thank Oklahoma City Thunder for giving me my sixth parlay of the day that ended with just one single miss. 🤮🤮🤮

Man, I feel like I've been wandering through the Himalayas or something... 🙂

@wiredcanyon39 I know you were flying solo on that last one, so naturally, here is 👍
"Let's just move on," I tell myself.

@noh over 87 fans - look at what I mean, all day long, with this logic that keeps dragging us all down?! (Though, admittedly, I didn't put it on my slip)

Yesterday, the Memphis Grizzlies -2.5 covered by a single basket. Today, the Washington Wizards -3.5 misses by a single basket.

They just keep chasing the spread...

@noh over 87 fans - look at what I'm saying every single day about the logic pulling us all along (even if it's not on my parlay today)

Some of us say that every damn day.
Time to hit the sack.🙂

Carmelo Anthony over 16.5 @ 1.85
Russell Westbrook over 23.5 @ 1.85
Dirk Nowitzki over 20.5 @ 1.85
Love under 24.5 @ 1.85
Granger over 18.5 @ 1.85 HL
these for today[/QUOTE said:

Look, when the universe says no, it says no, right? 🤷I mean, seriously, when is Love ever actually going to have the game of his life against a team he usually struggles against, especially when he’s averaging like 15 buckets? 🤷One day it’s LaMarcus Aldridge killing it, then suddenly it's him, then who knows who's next? 😍ruggedgull32, man, unfortunately that's just the game, you can't outsmart it because sometimes everything just goes completely against all logic, you know what I mean? 🤷Wishing you better luck today! 😉

Lots of games today could honestly go either way...
I was thinking about taking Kobe Bryant over and Derrick Rose over... what do you guys think?

Honestly, I feel like those are exactly the kind of matchups that could go either way depending on how the energy shifts. ☕

Both of them should go over, but man, I have no clue if Chris Bosh is actually coming back to the lineup? If you ask me, Dwyane Wade is a much safer bet than LeBron James🤷, but since someone always finds a way to mock my picks, n🤷ever mind, just let me vent here! I’m looking at Kevin Garnett over, Pau Gasol over, Wade over, Tony Parker over, Blake Griffin under if he hits 22.5, Chris Paul over if he gets 19.5, and maybe Monta Ellis over since Stephen Curry isn't playing🤷

Actually, scratch that, too many changes. I'm ditching the standard parlays because someone always manages to ruin one single leg and kill the whole thing

Danilo Lawson over 15.5 @ 1.85
Derrick Rose over 23.5 @ 1.85
LeBron James over 28.5 @ 1.85
Carmelo Anthony under 16.5 @ 1.85
Tony Parker over 18.5 @ 1.85
Blake Griffin under 22.5 @ 1.85
Kobe Bryant over 28.5 @ 1.85 SS

6/7 system ticket

Just a little statistical hunch for the people
Kevin Garnett over 14.5 @ 1.85
Luis Scola under 15.5 @ 1.85
Steve Nash under 13.5 @ 1.85
Tim Duncan over 13.5 @ 1.85
Charlotte Hornets (189.5) vs Brooklyn Nets under 1.85
Isaiah Williams under 21.5 @ 1.85
Carlos Boozer under 15.5 @ 1.85
DeMarre Evans over 17.5 @ 1.85
Toronto Raptors (192.5) vs Golden State Warriors under 1.85 SS

8/9 system, just a small play

Tonight hurts a little bit.

Pau Gasol at 1.95 against denga... since Chris Bosh is out, Gasol might actually have an easier night than usual.
Kobe Bryant at +185 against LeBron James. Honestly, Kobe's definitely going to outshoot him—he’ll be looking to prove who really runs this court.
Kevin Garnett at 1.70 against Steve Nash—he’s got both Jeffriestoudeudemire and Nash Evans on his side. I'm expecting him to clear my bet by at least 5 points.

Can someone please explain to me why the Charlotte Hornets are suddenly sitting at +2?
Did the Hornets all of a sudden become a legitimate contender?

It always seems to be the case that when they set such a low line... some mediocre team ends up pulling off the win.
I swear, the NBA is totally rigged.

graniteotter6 said:Man, he was already at the half and hit the over by the 19th minute—which, honestly, is just massive news for all of us. No need to go crazy with the LOLs here; I put him on the over quite deliberately. Easy money, seriously.

I wasn't even aiming that at you or anyone else specifically—I was just signaling the over 17.5 on Al Jamison. And the reason I'm laughing is basically because he nearly cleared that mark in the first quarter alone.😉

Did the Hornets just become an elite squad overnight or something?

It’s always the same story, whenever they set a low line like that... some absolute garbage team ends up winning.
I swear the NBA is rigged, man.

Look, usually a plus sign goes with the underdog, right? Like, the Hornets are worse than the Brooklyn Nets, so they get +2.5, meaning the Nets have to win by at least 3 for that spread to hit. Nothing weird there. Take the LA Lakers, for example—they've probably got a +2.5 just because their record isn't quite as good as the Miami Heat, even though they aren't underdogs at all, especially at home where the Lakers are basically untouchable at 16-2.🤷,nothing crazy about it, really.☕

Look, I totally get what you're saying about those plus-minus stats. xD
But honestly, if you just head over to NBA.com and check their last five or six games... they've been absolutely crushing it, winning by an average of 20 points.
So now, suddenly, they only pull away by 2 points? Based on how they've been playing, they really should be winning by at least 10.

Jeremy Kelly3 said:Look, I get the whole +/- stats thing, alright? xD
But seriously, if you just hop on NBA.com and look at their last five or six games... they’ve been getting absolutely smoked by an average of 20 points, man!
And now suddenly they're only giving up a 2-point spread? Come on, it should be at least 10.

Man, if you take the spread on the Brooklyn Nets, it's way easier for them to cover 3 than to hit 10+, but you gotta realize Henderson and DJ Augustin are back in the lineup, so they're actually tougher now since those two are their top scorers, and let's be real, the Nets aren't exactly some powerhouse team🤷. Their whole deal is just trying to lose as little cash as possible, so they play every trick in the book—whether it's shaving margins, messing with the odds, or even pulling players from the betting lines or setting the juice too low just to bait the big whales🤷. Rule number one: never drop massive stacks on a sportsbook because there's no such thing as a sure thing in this game, and when you're gonna lose, you might as well lose something that won't leave you broke🤷. I stopped betting on those so-called "locks" ages ago because "locks" don't exist in sports and someone always finds a way to screw you over😉. Anyway, good luck to ya

No, I don't have any intention of betting on this game at all...
I'm just saying, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Charlotte Hornets covered that ridiculous 2-point spread.
But as far as I'm concerned, this matchup is definitely a no play.
