    Ok I'll give it another shot, posting my picks before the game. I'm usually superstitious and always seem to lose when I post.

    $330 each on +6 1h and +10 FG Cats
    $550 on Rockets -6

    A lot of gambling elitism in this thread, lol...

    I would take the Rockets tonight... they nearly covered the spread last game with Harden and Howard both having weak nights... and Aldridge and Lillard playing out of their minds. This being an absolute must win for the Rockets, I just don't see them losing and think they will cover.

    I'll also go O/U 200 for the Spurs-Mavs game. Just think 200 is generous for a playoff game and San Antonio matches up very well with Dallas defensively.

    Barring a minor miracle, my under for the Heat-Cats game is a loser. Smh, I need to stay away from totals and stick to point spreads.

    Edit: I'm also on the Rockets -7 tonight for 2 units. I hope they don't pull a Chicago. Don't let me down Houston.

    I wouldve stayed away from the under for the Bobcats game, unless they play at home...that has been a general trend. Look for the the under to be the play in Game 3

    in regards to our boys...have a feeling the Rockets cover(6.5)...but still not sure about the over under(216)...leaning under for some reason??

    Would have been under if the game didn't go into overtime. The prospect of overtime always scares me, but the fact of the matter is that 216 is ridiculous for a playoff game. Unless the game turns into an easy layup feast, I don't see it going over, with so much on the line for both teams.

    Shaping up to be a massacre tonight. I just gave back all the money I won in the Clippers game. See what I mean, Clippy. No such thing as a lock.

    If I only I had that much power. I didn't want my Clipps to draw portland cuz I figured they were just like GSW but had an amazing bigman, but even I had no idea how good LMA was gonna be.

    Called him the best pf in the game in a ling debate with j sizzle, he accused me of being scared of facing good players. With this team though....guess i had a reason. I had no faith in harden and stated that, but i believed dwight would step up against lopez.

    As I indicated yesterday, I'm on Indy -2 and OKC -1. I think one of the home dogs is going to win outright and I think GSW has the best chance to do so at Oracle if Splash Bros finally have a good shooting game. Although it looks like line movement is showing that money heavy money is coming in on all road favorites. Should be fun tonight.

    I'm looking at SA -3 at Dallas Saturday.

    My advice would be if you like a public favorite, bet right away before the line moves against you. If you like an underdog in the same situation, you might want to wait as much as you can to see if you can get a better number.

    Edit: 0-2 tonight...now I'm in the red. I'm done for a few days fellas, best of luck to the rest of you.

    seems like everytime I post my plays on any forum not just this one, I lose. I had a crazy week and can't miss the big plays. hope you guys are doing good too.

    shows $$$ for wednesday since I hit some live bets in the lac game. I had a lot on lac -5/-5.5/-6

    was sweating a little bit, and never wager that much on an NBA game before.
