I always drop in and tail on the wrong days... doh!
there are times where I absolutely hate North Carolina.
Pretty interesting that the Cavs are -1.5 road favorites tonight amid rumors of team turmoil. I also think Lebron's presence in the locker room is a positive factor in the whole situation. We saw the Wizards have a team meeting that "ended poorly" but that locker room is led by a low character, egotistical player in John Wall. I don't think that's gonna be the case with Lebron and the Cavs. After experiencing a spanking by the hands of the OKC Thunder on Saturday, I think the Cavs are in an amazing spot. The line movement also kinda reflects that smart money thinks the same. For what its worth, the Cavs have reportedly ramped up their practices for the first time all year (for those who dont know, the Cavs barely practice as they are trying to keep their players fresh and healthy). Even if tonight isn't the night, I think the buy low window on the Cavs is wide open and we should take advantage of it going forward. I'm personally making a large wager on the Cavs tonight but im still licking my wounds from last night so im not sure how much I can afford to wager. Maybe 2u pre game and up to another 2u live if I get better odds.
also... i was looking over some of the numbers and my thought process leading up to the Clippers bet last night. While I think the Clippers were definitely the right side with Jimmy Butler out, the Clippers TT OVER was probably a better bet. Hindsight is 20/20, though. Next time I might split the large wager to avoid a situation like this where my read was correct, but variance costs me big. Sorry to those who tailed, I take full responsibility and will be better going forward
You're 100% right about the offensive rebounding being due to DJ's absence. His plus minus on the season isn't very good so I guess I just assumed he was easily replaceable. If I had looked into it more, I should have noticed that they've been out rebounded in practically every game since he's been injured. Its noted going forwardIt was a pretty good bet last night numbers wise. The only concern betting Clippers right now is DeAndre Jordan being out, they are getting killed on the boards without him and not much of an inside defense presence.
Harrell is playing well from an offensive presence, but doesn't provide same defense or rebounding. Betting the over on future Clippers games with Jordan out as long as opposing team has good offense too.
Do you think Cavs Q1 and 1st half lines have any value at juiced pickem lines just in Cavs blow the game late?
Sometimes you're bug and sometimes you're the windshield man. Can't see every x factor every time. No need to apologize to us. Reading through the analysis is wasn't easy to make an argument.Pretty interesting that the Cavs are -1.5 road favorites tonight amid rumors of team turmoil.

Tailed. Let's get it!I'm playing the Cavs ML risking 2u. Until I see them play well, I can't risk more, no matter how strong the lean. The problem lies deeper than motivation. But with seemingly all of the Spurs players out, at least the vets, I have to take a shot. Normally its a phenomenal proposition to back a team coming off of a giant beating so at least there's that
LBJ gets to 30,000pts and this bet hits for a .5u win. Thanks, Quincy. Let's go Cavs, keep it up!even though i swore that i would never bet the cavs until they bench that fuk jr smith i took them 1st quarter at -111. closed door meeting, maybe they come out with urgency and lebron starts fast

Sorry on the late notice but Oilers -1.5 over Sabres should cash. Buffalo are awful and Oil are hot right now.
