    Houston won the Jazz on tail end of B2B with banged up Harden and without Beverly. Granted, Jazz is no Cavs, but also Minnesota is not Houston. And they (Minny) are on fire.

    Today I have:

    Philadelphia +7.5
    Minnesota +2
    Los Angeles Clippers -3.5

    I'm hoping to hit two of three. Next day I'll play three again. One day I'll hit 1/3 and another day 3/3. Hopefully I'll hit at least 60% in the long run.

    why would you take the clippers?

    I think Deandre and Blake are going to have a helluva time dealing with dwight and omer, our wings are better than theirs

    I broke my computer the other night while I was drunk so I can't make any Larry Lightning videos of myself making picks for a while. :(

    Because at this point Clippers have a lot of good going for them while Houston is in a bit of a trouble. So:

    - CP3 is in phenomenal form right now
    - DeAndre is currently a defensive beast
    - starting five players are more accoustomed to one another than Rockets
    - Rockets are in the middle of figuring out their offense
    - Harden's back
    - Casspi's ankle
    - Beverly
    - Houston's first tough game
    - Clips play at home
    - HOU hasn't figured out how to use Dwight yet (no pick&rolls) and he's facing DeAndre (Asik will prolly be on Griffin)
    - this is Houston's third game in four days, while Clippers had two days of rest

    I sincerely root for Houston, but when it comes to betting, you have to put homerism aside. There are too many facts speaking in favour of Clips. Yes they have new coach, but after VDN any coach is an improvement.

    I have a 3-teamer tonight:
    Hou v LAC under 208
    Cleveland -2
    G St v Phily over 212

    I think Houston and LA will be slow on offense tonight and Phily is a young team that has to run to have a chance and that will open it up for G St to shoot lights out. Cleveland is at home so giving them the two pts

    I love the under play in the Houston-LAC game. I just don't play totals that much. I'm with you on the Cavs game. Cleveland -1.5 vs Minn is locked and loaded.

    Count me in as well on Cleveland -1.5. Leaning GS but have not pulled the trigger yet.

    Philly +7 at home after their blistering start seems like a trap bet but I'm on it.

    Where did you get LA -3.5? I'm looking at line history across various sites and have only seen -5 or -4.5.

    Note to self: Don't put Philly in every parlay when they are going to get blown out by 30.

    Unbelievable...This was on Mike Brown. He took out Miles and had Jack in there at the end even though CJ was playing great. Cleveland was up 22 and just stopped running plays on offense...so demoralizing. 4-2 YTD

    Even though I've grown to dislike the saying, this was definitely one of those losses where you were 'on the right side'. Complete fluke.

    I bet only on Pinnacle and bet365, so on one of these sites.

    And yesterday I lost the Atlanta bet on a pair of free throws by Gasol...you win some, you lose some. Today I was the lucky one...
