ImNew's NBA 11/12

ImNew · #1 11-12-2006, 01:04 PM

Overall: 24-19 +3.89 units.

Recap on yesterday:
2-1 yesterday, not a bad day at all. Phoenix scored 7 in the fourth quarter just to screw the public. Seattle and Atlanta managed to suckout 116 in 2nd half + OT and earned me a unit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Detroit +3.5 looked too good to be true, I should have stayed away.

Today's pick:
Dallas Mavericks v Portland Trail Blazers +6 -104 @ Pinny
Reason: fade the public.

I'm with you on this one, for a couple of additional reasons..though fading the public is as good as any. Let's hope it pans out :P

I know fade the public.... but besides Randolf who is gonna get it done for Portland. Miles out, Roy out. Mavs are missing Howard but they still have Dirk, Stack, Terry, Harris. THey have won 10/11 vs Portland, I have money on them covering. I'd like to hear your reasaons against before tipoff.

1. Dallas has not been playing well without Howard.
2. Portland plays horribly on the road, that makes people undervalued their homecourt advantage (3-0 so far).

As for injuries- yes with Miles out that goes against Portland, but then I don't really see any star players there to make a huge difference, as opposed to Dallas.

All in all, I'd say Portland will win this bet just often enough to cover the price (it is +102 now). GL to you.
