yeah. taking gs in dallas is not the best idea. remember the playoffs? maybe a little bitter taste. just not a game where you can predict without a reasonable doubt. its true, gs could cover, but its a toss up. not something i would risk money on. stay away.

boston giving 10 to a solid team with great defense. its ok, but 10 is a lot. and boston wont blow out houston by 20+ so you aren't going to be watching the game feeling comfortable. and you could easily lose to garbage time at the end even if boston is up 12-15 with a couple minutes left. i stay away from this. i fee like the under would be a more natural play. whatever the fuck it is. i dont know where you get over from with 2 of the best defenses in the league.

sacremento? really. they are missing 3 of 5 starters. they are the worst team in the league. u want to bet on a team whose best player is brad miller? you think ny is gonna get swept by this shit team? even ny is not that bad. give me a break.

portland. decent play. if you ignore the fact that portland is a shitty away team. on the road they allow over 101 pts scored. they were outscored by 40 pts in the paint against utah. al jefferson is gonna tear them up. i'd take the home team with the 5 pts. portland getting too much respect for their win streak. people forget 10 of those games were at home.

chicago - i like this bet. bet chicago. good one. charlotte is due a loss, chicago is due a win. moneyline it. get that extra 15 bucks.

det - yeah. they are awesome. but caron butler is for real. and so is toine jamison. and stephens and all those other guys they have that shoot the 3 ball. take the over. giving 6 to a solid team at home is tough. if i had to bet this game i would take the over.

no - i dont have an opinion on this game.

good luck.

i will take what you said into consideration. thanks for the heads up on the games

i like golden state however, due to the fact that they are 7-1 against the spread in dallas. also, stephen jackson will shut down dirk and gs has too much pride and confidence against them its uncanny. i expect dallas to win in a close one, depending on how devin harris plays the point against dallas killer baron davis.

i will not take sacramento, as i didn't realize that ron artest is out of the game. good call. i think they would have covered had he been able to play.

its a good thing i actually got UTEP +2 not -2, cuz they ended up covering by 1 with a meaningless 3 lol...lucky lucky. im 6-5 right now, with the NO game still goin, hopefully that covers and ill have a little bit of profit-->thats the last day i do anything besides NBA and ranked ncaa basketball. smaller cards from here on out.
