Either that or it just me. I think they are really messing with these lines. Too many people I know are having a rough time. INCLUDING ME
NBA tough right now

I've thought the lines are really inflated and lower level teams are covering the higher lines on a steady basis. Then a favorite will blowout an inferior team now and then just to throw things off. Like tonight. Warriors favored by 16.5. Really high line. I think the Knicks could actually cover that number, but you never know with the Warriors, they could easily blow them out. Raptors faves by 15. They could blow out Atlanta, but Atlanta has the capability to lose that game but cover that number. Same as Cavs and Wizards tonight. It's been a crapshoot kind of season.

I agree. The bad part about this is this league sucks right now. Too many bad teams.:mj07: Since 12-22 I have been 12W and 15 L's. I was hitting almost 70% before that. I knew it wouldn't keep up but this ridiculus
When I was younger, 2 games every year I would unload on without capping. I don't know about this lately but GS-NYK, Vis was 16-1. No matter how bad or how good either team was. Every time I see this game I laugh
I think it's been one of those seasons where nothing can be considered a solid trend. I mean, I'm watching the Warriors the other night, favored by their usual shitload, and they were 1 for 12 from the free throw line. And that's Curry, Klay and Durant who all shot free throws. I literally couldn't believe what I was watching. How do you even cap that? You have a better chance at winning the lottery than seeing those 3 go 1 for 12 from the stripe. Crazy shit man....
LTD, I bet agst GS early they weren't covering. Should have never got off. I bet agst Cle. Should have never got off. Cavs flat out stink. Period. That old GS NYK trend is over. I knew it was, NYK 6-13 ats vs GS
I don't do any trends anymore, Their aren't any trends any more as far as I am concerned
Lately GS hasn't been covering the high number. They are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 games. Awful. But at the risk of uncontrollably vomiting, I just can't in good spirit, bet on the Knicks.
Ah, the good ol' days! :142smilie
You know another thing I just thought of, that you just can't cap any longer. In the old days, teams like Jordan's Bulls or Kobe's Lakers would play hard every single game out there. These teams now, like the Warriors, or Rockets, or Celtics, literally go through the motion during the regular season. Because they all know, the only thing that matters is the playoffs. The Warriors proved they didn't need the best record last year. Although that nearly bit them in the ass.
Plus they never took days off. Now they should have a site somewhere with an attendance sheet. Telling me what spoiled millionaires are taking off.
Exactly. Guys don't play hard because they don't want to risk an injury. Jordan made sure his teammates never took a game off. He wanted to bury every team each and every night. That's why he's the GOAT. And it's not even a close.
LeBron is great, Kobe, not far behind Lebron. But they will never be better than Jordan
I don't know how old you are LTD, but Jerry West was also great in his ERA. That's why he is the LOGO
I'm 55. Love the Logo. I was a big Sixer fan back in the day. Love the Dr and Moses. I love watching great basketball. Jordan, Kobe and now, watching the Warriors at their best is some of the most incredible basketball ability I've ever seen. It's like a real NBA version of the Globetrotters.
I just checked, and last night, 6 out of 8 faves covered easily. So maybe you're on the right track here. Good luck my man!
GS is one hell of a dynasty. Unbelievable. I'm gonna be F-ing 70 this month:mj07: I still haven't figured how I made it this far. This one woman asked me, "Their has to be a reason." I told her God don't want me and the Devil is afraid of me
Haha. 70? You're at your prime. Nowadays everyone is living into their 90's! 70's is the new 50. It's just a number.....
