I'm liking Phoenix tonight. I know Charlotte's hot, but this game is critical to the Suns if they think of themselves as a legit title contender. Going against the players they traded away, it will be an emotional game no doubt, but you got to figure one way or another Phoenix finds a way to win with all their firepower. I can't see Diaw stopping Stoudemire. Boris dogging it was one of the main reasons for the Suns downfall. I know Bell will be superhyped, but Phoenix has to take it.

Evan said...

Aight, give me ur rundown of what u like and ill do the same.

GarrettKall said...

just pick every game and do them in order from games you like the most to the ones you like the least, say one supporting argument for why you like it, I'll do the same, we'll compare, then make this money.

GarrettKall said...

1)Phoenix
must win game for that franchise. Always scared when its players going against their old teams, not knowing who was to blame, but you got to think the Suns have just way too much firepower for the Hornets to handle, even if they just squeak it out.

2)Spurs
Devin Harris is doubtful, No Yi, Dooling questionable, Spurs have beat the Nets the last 10 games.

3)Oklahoma City
There just hot right now, fresh off a buzzer beater win, should be able to get the job done.

4)New York
Just better, know what they're doing, have a gameplan, while Memphis is lost with a new coach. I also like the under to this game alot.

5)Minnesota
They've covered 9 out of the last 10 bets, No West, No Chandler, maybe no Armstrong. Another really hot team.

6)Detroit
Terry's questionable, Detroit's defense should trump Dallas's finesse.

7)Pacers
They already beat Houston in Houston, plus they're at home. This is a tough game, but I think Indy's talent might be too much, unless Houston comes out and dominates them physically.

8)Bucks
No Marvin Williams and Al Horford

9)Raptors
Calderon is back, O'Neal's playing like he has to prove something, Toronto's on a big losing streak desperate for a win. This is another funny one, it could get out of hand, just feel like the Raptors are due, Bosh can put up 40

10)Warriors
Monta Ellis coming back, GS could surprise Cleveland if he plays well.

GarrettKall said...

yo you there?

GarrettKall said...

I'm reading all the newspapers right though so things could be subject to change..

I'm thinking about making Phoenix my early money bet, if it hits then do Oklahoma City late night, Camby is questionable so I want to monitor that up until tipoff.

I'm also thinking of doing either 2 parlays, or 1 parlay and one 7 point teaser.

Evan said...

1)Houston- won 3 out of the last 5 The 2 losses were by 2 against denver and 5 against L.A. Just came off a big win against Utah, and their bench is looking fantastic and Indiana has been slipping

2)Suns- Should win even though Charlotte is on a tear. Dont underestimate the motivation that Diaw and Bell will have.

3)Spurs- I love the spurs, but the spread is a lil high for me

4)Clevelend- Cleveland is on a mission, and Monta Ellis wont get more than 25 min..

5)Pistons- Mavs have no fortitude, this a must win for Detroit if they wanna consider themselves contenders. Rip Hamilton off the bench I think will be good for the chemistry.

6) Thunder- Clearly the better team right now, but not a great closer

7)Hornets- Even though West, and Chandler might be out. They still have Chris Paul, and Byron Scott. And there going for homecourt advantage, these r games they need to win.

Evan said...

Also toronto over chicago possibly, cuz Calderon is returning tonight in the starting lineup

Evan said...

And I like the under on the Knicks game alot too

GarrettKall said...

Alright.....

I'm doing Phoenix -3, $25 to win $20

Evan said...

And Devin Harris is playing for sure

GarrettKall said...

3 team parlay

Pistons -170
Mem/NY over 202.5
New York -260

$5 to win 15.99

Evan said...

So what r all ur bets?

GarrettKall said...

3 team 7 point teaser

Minnesota +7
Toronto +9
San Antonio -4.5

10 to win 8.33

GarrettKall said...

actually scratch san antonio, add milwaukee +12.5

Evan said...

Fuck man i already placed it on san antonio

Evan said...

Heres what I bet


Single bet- Suns -4
2 Team Parlay-Rockets -1, Suns-4
4 Team Teaser- Hornets +9, Spurs +1.5, Cavs +3.5, Raptors +12.5
3 Team Parlay-Knicks -6, Pistons -4, Knicks over 203

GarrettKall said...

damn my site doesn't offer 4 team teasers....

If I'm on the plus side before 10:30 I'm gonna drop $30 on the Thunder

GarrettKall said...

i don't know man i think the pacers are gonna take em

Evan said...

I hope not man. I think Houston is playing well, especially at home but well see

GarrettKall said...

yeah but Indy beat Houston with Artest and McGrady in Houston

Evan said...

Single bet-20 to win 18
2 team parlay- 15 to win 40
4 team teaser- 50 to win 45
3 team parlay- 5 to win 30

God help me. If i lose all those ill be at 14$ bucks in my account. 3 days ago I had 190 lol. If I win all of these tho, ill be at 240$

Evan said...

Indiana is capable of beatin anyone on any given day and also losin on any given day. It can be argued tho that the ball moves around better without a limpin tmac and artest. Obviously if their healthy then their gonna be better tho

GarrettKall said...

Phoenix looks real lethargic, motherphuckers

GarrettKall said...

Ugh, I can't even watch this shyt

Evan said...

I told u Diaw, and Bell will play well

GarrettKall said...

phoenix just looks plain awful

GarrettKall said...

wow Marvin Williams is playing, he was doubtful. Whats up with all these doubtful guys playing

GarrettKall said...

Nash looks like shyt, he just keeps throwing it behind the back to no one

GarrettKall said...

I knew I shouldn't have bet after smoking. It'd been like 4 months, my brain's all scrambled

GarrettKall said...

i'm just looking at a nightmare

Evan said...

Man thats why I never bet on Dallas or Phoenix cuz u neve know whos gonna show

GarrettKall said...

man, i really screwed the pooch on Phoenix. That was terrible judgement. Gotta learn from it and move on

GarrettKall said...

I see West is playing too. Funny how that happens

Evan said...

The pistons r a god damn joke squad

Evan said...

Houston lost by 5, If Yao didn't get injured in the 2nd and sit out the rest of the game I think they would have won

Evan said...

My last hope...4 Team Teaser- Hornets +9, Spurs +1.5, Cavs +3.5, Raptors +12.5

GarrettKall said...

Man I wish I could do a 4 team teaser

GarrettKall said...

you gonna take Oklahoma straight up?

GarrettKall said...

Jermaine O' Neal's 1st half

7 pts (5-6 FT)
2 reb
1 ast
1 blk

Evan said...

Im watchin Oneal right now. If i take it str8 up and I lose that bet, and the 4 team teaser im done for at least a month

GarrettKall said...

I feel good about Oklahoma

GarrettKall said...

That chronic got me...same color as the Raptors away jerseys

Evan said...

I took OKC SU. If i lose im done 4 awhile

Evan said...

Kevin Love is a sick rebounder

GarrettKall said...

Milwaukee really fucked up my night. The injury misinformation really fucked me more than anything.

But can you believe the no shows by Phoenix, Detroit, and Milwaukee? Unreal how fast some teams give up some games. Dallas, Phoenix, and Milwaukee are real tough to predict, you never know what you're going to get.

Evan said...

Yea im done with those 3 teams.

Evan said...

Hornets lost by 8. Thank god I teased it down to +9

GarrettKall said...

Don't even think about losing. We're gonna get this Oklahoma game right, then the next one, then the one after that. We just got to survive into all-star break and the trading deadline. Once things are more settled the games will become alot easier.

GarrettKall said...

actually you still got your teaser, so you're straight

Evan said...

Oneal just had a monster blocks

Evan said...

Yea i totally agree. After allstar break they'll be set rotations, players in rhythm, consistency every night, and offensive schemes clearly understood

Evan said...

R u kidding me???How are the Nets in this game. Ginobli needs to take over

Evan said...

Hinrich is starting to grow on me. I wouldnt mind him on the Heat

Evan said...

All I need to win my 4 team teaser is for Cleveland to not lose by more than 3

Evan said...

Durant is amazing

Evan said...

Ur thunder r scaring me

Evan said...

I want to slap the fuck out of the clippers announcers and the warriors.

GarrettKall said...

remind me not to get high again when trying to win money betting. The first 7 days were so good, add weed to the equation, now I'm only up a little bit from when we started.

Evan said...

I hate u

GarrettKall said...

hey man no need to panic. You can't just jump into betting without having league pass and just expect to clean house. It's not called No Betting Allowing for nothing. It takes time, committment, familiarity with all the teams which reading boxscores really can't provide. If we're real serious about making money we both need to invest in the league pass. There's no way around that

GarrettKall said...

I mean for god's sake, it took 41 points from Eric Gordon, 34 from Thornton, 11 assists from Ricky Davis, and 7 assists from Fred Jones to squeak out the win by 3

Evan said...

I just dont think I can afford League Pass this year. Im going backpacking around the country for 2 months with my buddy in April. So I gotta save around 3,000 for that. I think like u said after all-star break we will be ok. The most we can do is watch as much basketball as possible in the next 2 days while we have league pass, continue to watch NBA TV, read the newspapers and do the research. Luckily I won my 4 team teaser so im still in the game.

Evan said...

Lebrons first game winning jumper in his career?

GarrettKall said...

It's all about just getting into that zone, that rhythm, kinda like basketball. About not betting scared, and at the same time respect the fact that any team can beat any team on any night in any scenario. And above all else, knowing when to step away, and when to go all in.

Evan said...

The bets that r up for tommoro suckkk

GarrettKall said...

yes indeed they are. This is by far the toughest time of the year.

Evan said...

I actually like a 3 team teaser teased to 8 points. So it wud look like this

NY +15.5 at Philly

Sactown +16.5 at Bucks

Portland -3 at home against Wizards

Evan said...

Knicks on a win streak no way they lose by that many

Bucks r struggling, the Kings could actually take this. Luckily we wud have a 16 point wiggle room

No way Portland doesnt absolutely smash the Wizards at home

I think ima do it

Evan said...

I also like New Jersey -1 at Memphis

Evan said...

I also did a 2 team teaser.

Nets -4
Cavs +8

GarrettKall said...

Your bets look good. Sweet... I missed the boat on Today.

Evan said...

Fucking awesome win by the Heat today. I cant take people on the blog calling for Spos head. Everyone is so schitzo on their, one day everything is awesome, next day everyone has to be traded. Beasley sux, Beasley's great. Get Oneal, dont get him lol. Whateva

I won both my bets!!! Im back baby!!!!!!

GarrettKall said...

Haha...I agree, that was a gutsy win by Spoels right there. The fortitude to play Blount in that spot, and then to see it work. I love it. That's what good coaches do, add the element of surprise to the game, things that couldn't have come up on scouting reports. If Spoelstra didn't outcoach van Gundy tonight then there's no such thing as coaching.

I took the Portland 2nd half line, which they covered.

Need 2 for sure bets for tomorrow

GarrettKall said...

Don't know if you ever heard the Omillio Sparks CD, "The Payback". I thought it was one of the better CDs to come out in 2007, bumped the shit out of it out in Cali, down in Texas. The shit rides!

Evan said...

Never heard of em, u got a link. By the way u like that Banks mixtape? And if u havent already the new Chamillonaire Mixtape Messiah is sickk

GarrettKall said...

i was gonna put on the Banks next. Just wanted to warm up first with the Sparks, kind of a classic to me, just because it immediately makes me think of Cali. He's with Rock-a-Fella, the first I ever heard him was on the 2nd Beanie Sigel CD. Just another nice Roc-a-fella CD that rides out. Like a very poor man's Bleek, but ridable nonetheless.

Have you heard the Foreign Exchange CD by Little Brother?

Evan said...

Of course I have...One of my all time favorite cd's. Cant go wrong with 9th wonder on the track

GarrettKall said...

Me too, one of the best cds ever, no doubt, pure music

GarrettKall said...

I was looking also for Fats and Bathgate, "Split Decision", that was a real big sleeper in 2007, can't find the download link. Also the Black Rob Report was underrated.

GarrettKall said...

There's still about 1500 CDs I've burnt that I've yet to hear once yet. Need to do some serious catchup

Evan said...

Damnnn thats maddd cd's..

Miami Heat are 17-6 when D-Cook plays more than 25 minutes a game. Josh's Argument=shutdown

Never seen a kid that skews his data to support his points more than he does

Evan said...

Q-tip- Renaissance

GarrettKall said...

He's such a hater, he's just one of those fans that at the end of the day, will focus on the negative instead of just enjoying the moment. Plus he's extremely biased towards players, he either really likes them or really hates them, and nothing they do on the court changes his opinions.
