***UDoggie's Opening Day NBA***

[Underdog88]

Line getting a bit out of hand in the Lakers game. 5.5 is a lot to lay with Kobe on the floor. IMo anything over 4 could be a nail biter, up 7 last second 3 ****. Hopefully it doesn't come that close though....

Is there any other sport where winners turn to **** so quickly? :bang:


Turned into a 2-4 -2.6 units day. I will definitely be looking to grab the pts on larger spreads when the Rockets are faves. It looks to me like they had a bit of trouble running the new offense, & as a result may go through scoring droughts, allowing backdoor covers. Big shot by Battier, & I thought for a second I could get the push, but alas no such luck.


I'm really starting to lean Pacers in addition to the over. I just keep going back to the Wizrds last year on the road. Sure they'll score, but they won't play muuch defense either. Seems as though Jermaine may be out, but **** the Wiz lost to everyone on the road last season. I have to consider the home team that was set at a pick, & are now +122. All of this with the public seemingly on the other side?


Raptors-340
Hornets-325 1sth
Nuggets-355 1sth

2 to win 2.33 units



went with 1sth mls to make this a + parlay. Was tempted to lay the pts on all 3 of these ats, but these lines look a bit inflated. Hopefully the better team shows up in each meeting :thumbs:

[Franchise]

I'm thinking the exact same thing on the Pacers and have considered pulling the trigger since I got down on my plays earlier.

Nice Card for tonight though. :sm:

[Underdog88]

Thanks Franchise.... gonna leave it alone & just stick to the over.


Denver/Sonics o111 1sth/ o217-105

1 unit each


Ridnour's gonna have to guard Iverson. Melo can't be checked by anyone on that team. I see fireworks & not too much defense.

[Q-Unit]

I like indiana

and New Orleans at home.

thoughts?

think the hornets take a step up this year :thumbs:

btw whats this talk of you getting married?

whens the date?

[Underdog88]

I'm actually getting married Saturday, but we're doing a destination wedding. I'll be leaving late tonight :thumbs:


IMO the Hornets win by 8+, but with nothing to go on, I can't lay 9.5. Paul is a great pg, & they should be solid defensively this season. I can't lay pts with the Wiz on the road, but I want to see how the Pacers play first before throwing cash on them...maybe a 2ndh play. GL Q :thumbs:

I'm actually getting married Saturday, but we're doing a destination wedding. I'll be leaving late tonight :thumbs:

[COACH DITKA]

GL tonight UDoggie!
As for your wedding, much congratulations! The wife-to-be a stud gambler as well?

[Underdog88]

Thanks guys :thumbs:



Mavs team total o44-105 2ndh

1 unit


You gotta be kidding me. Cavs may cover 2ndh line ( I was considering it), but I just don't think they can stop the Mavs from scoring. Dallas is shooting well, but are also getting open looks. IMO they top 100 in this game....

[Underdog88]

Spurs-220 2ndh
Nuggets-235 1st q

1.5 to win 1.61 units


Kings team u46 2ndh

wtf is a destination wedding? a fancy word for elope?

Pretty much lol, only the family flies down for the wedding....:beer2:



Boy did I get lucky cashing both the 1stq & 1sth Nuggets ML. Great team to watch when they are clicking on offense, but they aren't guarding anyone...


Sonics+7 2ndh

2 units


Durant will be better than Oden long term. I said it before the draft, & I believe I'll be saying it 5 years from now as well. Gimme the pts, I'm thinking this one will be close...

[manmythlegend]

gl udog, u have any thoughts on the second half ov/un i'm gettin it at 108

[Underdog88]

I have the over 217 for the game & already hit the 1stq over. 108 is a bit high, but I think we still see a bunch more scoring. Both teams can run, for me it would be over or no play. GL whatever you decide :thumbs:

[manmythlegend]

yeah, i decided to take a stab at the over, think both these teams will continue putting up the points.....also congrats on the wedding, forgot to tell u that earlier

[Kuz]

Im thinking UNDER all day long for the 2H but I just lost on Den -6 1H so Im not any real expert on this dirty ass league!

I gotta think that Delonte West, Wilcox, and Wilkins dont continue the scoring. They are young but that Mile High altitude wears people down, especially when the game legs arent as strong as later in the season. I think the 108 is a strong under but didnt play it. I chose to chase the Nuggets 2H side since i didnt get that 1H side to go my way.

For Denver to cover the side then they better figure out how to get that "Oliver Miller imitation" (Nene) to be a presence inside. The nuggets are non-existent in the paint with him out there.

Good luck
