Slightly off-topic,

While we wait for this short "break" to end, here's an article about Tim Donaghy. The ref who with his questionable foul calls in favor of certain teams was able to influence the outcome of many NBA games. A lot of stuff has been written and discussed over the years, it's on ESPN's main page today. To be honest, it's a very interesting read. Give it a go.

People often forget about this scandal and it costed Chris Webber's Sacramento Kings a championship.

Referees are just humans and they will always have a bias towards certain players and how to call the game.

Anyone with some plays for when the NBA resumes on THURSDAY?
I see MIL and GSW at home being possible options depending on the point spreads but both play well at home.

Cavs Suns total right now (way early) is 219 pts.
Seems too much for these 2 teams who barely know how to score.

I disagree, Based on the stats in their last 2 games, the average score is 225.5.
They are considered as the worst teams in the NBA now, and they can score of course, they just loss because of their lack of defense.
So this 2 teams playing against each other might easily hit the over, you can bet on OT as well if you like, it's possible that it will be a close game.

Yeah. I agree with you there. These book makers know how to score a game since they have alot of money riding on them and their customers the sportsbooks.
They know who will be in the lineup and who will not be minutes before the game starts and have seen them change their lines live at times on the sportsbook site I use.
Phoenix does score when devin booker is in the starting lineup cause he is generally their star player who can hit the three when call upon to do it.

That was an old news, I'm a fan of that news until now.
I believe that NBA is fixed so this league purely provide entertainment rather than a real game.
If we want to see a real game, we should watch games in Olympics but since NBA is controlled by a group of people
that has the agenda to sell their business, fixed games always happens.

They will market players who are popular and give them favors on calls, this way they will grow and business will progress.
I believe also that they have a share from big sports book so they have a reason to manipulate games.

Olympics isn't really any different, and I don't think there's any sporting event in the world that has not, isn't and cannot be manipulated, There's just a different approach and level of manipulation that can be exercised in these games.

Hello everyone, how was your vacation?

Time to go back capping now for tomorrow's game, we are in a win streak currently and I hope we will be able to continue that.


Tomorrow's game Lakers +2.5 vs Rockets -2.5

Line open at Lakers -1 but the current line now is Lakers +2.5, maybe because Capela will be back from injury and I think he will again
help his team to win. Rockets are getting healthy now, Rivers still questionable whether he can play or not but at least we have the starters ready for this game. Upon seeing the past games of the Lakers, I am now doubting their capacity to win against a good team like the Rockets, so even if they have King James with them which I guess not 100% yet, I think the Rockets will beat them in their first game back at home.


Pick :   Rockets -2.5

[livingfree]

Now you are back, I've been waiting for your picks.

What I'm thinking contradicts to your prediction so I think I'm not going to bet with this match. Well, I'm a fan of Lebron James so I might just watch the game and won't cast any bet for this game.

Will wait for your next pick though.

Nice to see you back buds, tailing this as I also seen that Rockets will try to keep winning making sure to have a good place before the playoffs,
Harden and Paul already have a good blend so if they will going to push this one up chances of winning will going to be higher, and with what you have said about Capela inside threat will be added.

Good luck everyone, hope we will win again with this.

[Jating]

Very nice, looks like everyone enjoy the All-Star weekend and it seems @stadus is back with his winning tips.

I also agree that Houston will win this game, because as of lately, they having a good chemistry while Lakers was a complete disaster, specially when the rumors of a Anthony Davis trade. Anyways, it took a lot of mental damage specially those Lakers name who pop up during the the drama. But I don't think they have the capacity to stop Harden and Houston.

Pick :   Rockets -2.5

Welcome back!
I prefer this pick and I think the spread should easily covered, it will be great to start off from the break with a win.
However, I'm taking this as a parlay along with Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trailblazers; Trailblazers - 2.5 @ 1.94, and a total of 3.7 odds.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations on the first half of your parlay.
Portland trailblazers outscored the nets by 14 points 113 - 99. So all you got to worry about now is who will showup tonight for the rockets.
Can Capella make a successful comeback against lebrons crew?

[mirakal]

Close and low scoring game so far.  Good luck on the Rockets backers, hopefully they will cover

Rockets -2.5

Rockets -2.5

Very close game, indeed!
Houston Rockets are up by 6 points against Lakers with a 52 - 58 scoreline at halftime.

They were up double digit once and they are controlling the tempo.
We will see in the 2nd half if the Lakers can lead but I'm always okay with a 4 points lead in the end because it's my
only way to win, I got -3.5 for better odds.

It is going be tensed 4th quarter, I think. Lakers are gained momentum back late in the 3rd quarter, The Rockets were on a double digits lead for most part of the 3rd quarter and had up to 19 points at time, but we are heading into the 4th quarter with a 7 points difference with 83 - 90, fingers crossed.

Lol, the loss was a hard one to take for me too man! but what do we do ? We move on and try again.
I was pretty expected a difficult 4th quarter, but that was way far from my expectations, but it is what it is.

I'm looking at going on for Orlando Magic vs Chicago Bulls match tomorrow but, I'm still contemplating on the point spread.

The only thing we can do is just to shake our heads down and move on, that lost is really unexpected leaning with rockets as I believe that they can overshadowed LeBron but after that calls from the refs, Hahaha, just need to accept this and wait for another one tomorrow.

I'll take okc handicap -3.5, while waiting for Stadus to bring something in, Good luck.

Hard loss folks, I didn't bet for this game and I mentioned before I wouldn't go against LJ but I respect the predictions for this game. Let's move on guys and wait for the next pick of stadus.

That's right and exactly on point, we've got more matches to bet with so let's take everyone's losses back with those games.

Today's game Dallas +5 vs Nuggets -5

The Dallas Mavericks still have to figure out how to win and against the top team in the NBA, I think they will have some trouble here.
Denver has not covering it's previous games when playing on the road, their last 3 road games resulted to a loss but I'll go with the trend this time, the line was up 1 point and I'll consider that as a good indicator.

Pick :   Nuggets -5
