Last night definately hurt Irish. I just can't see betting on Chicago until; they proe me otherwise. That team is flat out terrible. Especially on back to back nights playing Minnesota who I think has something to prove.

 

[RobertBIrish]

I agree I don't play all of these but feel for it to be accurate I have to show all of the picks!

 

[Night Owl]

Gotta agree with ya Z-man. It's not every team in the NBA who gets absolutely blown out twice at home in the first week of the season! LOL Bulls with one of the most limited offensive units I've seen in a long, long time. 73 points each vs. Detroit and Indiana at home, 82 at Boston and 84 vs. NY. I personally cannot justify betting anything on Chicago right now. Good luck all.

I know what you guys are saying about the Bulls. I am a big Bulls fan and follow their games, and they really are bad right now. However, this may actually be the best time to play them. I may be wrong, but I believe the books are going to have to put out some inflated lines in order to get any action on Chicago right now, which is going to be an advantage, and also, how motivated are the teams playing the Bulls going to be? I've seen good teams come out flat against crap teams and actually play down to the level of the bad team. Just some thoughts, but at least for the next few games, I am playing the Bulls if they are going to give me 14 points like tonight against Minnesota.

Thanks for all your efforts Robert,
I think that Seattle play looks real strong.
How do you or your computer rate the games tonight?
Thanks again.

 

[woodpony]

How many times have you said "I'm off that team for awhile" and the very next day they cover? Personaly it has happened to me alot. I think the Bulls will cover tonight.

generally during the first ten games all teams play hard.....the wolves are playing especially hard right now because they believe they can win the division this year.....do not look for them to take anyone lightly......

the bulls absolutely suck......eventually, in the middle of the season, there will be spots where teams do not show up to play them, but look for that later, not necessarily sooner.

the bulls may cover tonight.....any team may cover on any night.....but in order to have win in this game, you can't go "fishing" for that night unless you have some distinct reasons other than "the bookmakers are gonna get us on this one" and the like......

don't worry about the "bookmakers" -- pick the solid play and play it.....doing this consistently will give you a winning record....trying to figure out other garbage will not......the better play is to lay the 14 and take it and run.......i saw the bulls play the Celtics this year and the Celts covered and played absolutely garbage ball....the bulls are really really bad....fizer is already unhappy, and they have a bunch of young guys that can't do anything....in order for the bulls to cover, Mercer has to go crazy, and someone else has to have a great night -- who will that be is anybody's guess -- and that is just to score let alone stopping anyone......Garnett is a stud -- probably the best player in the NBA (he just gets absolutely no props living in Minne, Szerbiak is on fire right now, Brandon is solid, and Billups may be one of the most improved players in the league this year......yes the bulls may cover but i am playing the T-wolves

Irish,

do you post your plays on this site or just the computer plays?

Best of luck to ya my friend

 

[RobertBIrish]

Just the computers!

 

[baby johnson]

rib, do youpost your personal plays anywhere? and if so where. I need help choosing sides.

 

[RobertBIrish]

No I don't post my personal plays on the public forum. I am sorry but I can't say why and I am sure someone on here will let you know.

 

[Big Daddy]

Well Doc, you were absolutely right. These Bulls are just terrible. I am ashamed to call myself a Bulls fan after that performance. Worst loss in team history - 53 points. I wonder what the line will be in their next game? Or will they not even put out a line since they are not even competitive right now? This is a dark day in the history of the Chicago Bulls.

 

[dr. freeze]

hey big daddy.....jump on a bandwagon.....

i am a royals fan, but i root for the Astros too cuz i go to a lot of games....great deal for 162 games, but bad deal for 3 games....lol

i am a Baylor alum, but I love the Sooners....

i am a Mavs fan....FINALLY!!!!!!

i am a Cowboys fan.....can't find any other team to root for though

sorry your bulls are so bad....like i said get pissed at that fat ass gm you have and bet against them when the line looks good.....one thing i know for sure.....do not include the bulls this year in a teaser....lol......things will improve but they are in disarray right now and no one knows their role which makes a bad deal for an NBA team.....

ahjoah....here is why RobertBIrish doesn't post his plays is becuase he runs a service where he offers them at a price....he is kind enough to show us all the teams that his computer runs up using software that he personally put lots of time and effort into.....he is a major asset to this site, and if you want his personal picks, you can probably figure out a way to get them...

me personally will not take the computers plays for a while because the league has changed a lot since last year -- team wise and rules wise, and i would think that the computer will take a while to get adapted to that.......but they are definitely gonna be an asset later on so thanks so much for posting your picks Robert and as i have already stated, unless you have some magical software know how teams have changed in the offseason and how they are gonna adapt to the new rules, let me know and i will stand corrected!!!! bottom line is this: Rob's cpu picks produce winners in football and i am sure they will after a month or so (hopefully less) in basketball too.......

 

[dr. freeze]

by the way Rob, there is a new forum where you can post your website if you want....i think jack will let you anyways.....not sure but check it out.......on the bottom of the forums page.....

 

[RobertBIrish]

Thank you dr freeze your right about the league changing and it will probably take us a while to get it running consistent as it does in football. I'm looking at about 2 morer weeks and things should be back to normal in baskets.
