NBA 2007-08 Week 2 Thread (11/5 - 11/11)
 

Starting a new general thread for this week's NBA betting.

Last week was terrible for me, so there's plenty room to improve. I'm going to focus on finding a few really good bets this week instead of making a lot of bets like I did last week. I don't feel as confident on NBA picks as I do on football. If any of you guys with more NBA experience feel like posting some analysis or insights, I think a lot of us would appreciate it.

Only one game tonight, Houston @ Dallas. Should be a great game, but I'm going to pass on betting it for now.

Pretty much my sentiments exactly. Did pretty good in the NFL and not bad in college ball, but [censored] the NBA! terrible week with it and hoping to get some of it back this week.

Why are you avoiding the Dallas game? I think Dallas by 6 is a decent line.

Re: NBA 2007-08 Week 2 Thread (11/5 - 11/11)
 

This doesn't relate to today's game, but watching the Celtics/Raptors game last night suggests the Celtics will try to slow down uptempo teams and set up half-court sets for their three-headed monsters rather than expect them to run. The public likes the Celtics and I see the public hitting the overs when they play. So my suggestion is to take the under the next time the Celtics play an uptempo offense.

4TAY - so true.

Made one early pick for tomorrow:
Spurs -1 @ Houston, to win 2u

Leaning towards LAC +7 @ Chicago, but waiting for now.

What were the signs?

Re: NBA 2007-08 Week 2 Thread (11/5 - 11/11)
 

The signs were that they weren't running. Rondo brings the ball up and the Celts slow it down. The big 3 are content on playing one-on-one against their defenders, or swinging it around for a better look. Their bench is pretty thin, with the exception of Posey, so there really isn't any point in expecting the big 3 to run all game and tire themselves out. In addition, they're a pretty good defensive team (KG, Perkins, Rondo, Pierce, Posey).

Whats peoples thoughts on Clippers +8 vs Bulls? Clippers 2-0, they've looked good in both games I've seen. Bulls meanwhile just haven't been looking good at all. Tough road game obv, but 8 points seems a bit too much.

You have given very good reasons to take the Bulls.

Have to agree here, Bulls are going to come out no fire, could be a 20 point victory over LA clip. Bulls are too good, and Skiles has WAY too much pride to lose this game...I teased it to be sure though....lol
