predict NBA OPENING DAY

[NewcastleKEG]

Celtics +5 @ Knicks (No Pierce)

Heat -4 @ Mavericks

Bulls -4 @ Lakers

Magic +8 @ Thunder

Clippers -5 @ Warriors




I'm thinking:
Bulls (big money) money line
Bulls (avg money) -4
Clippers (big money) money line
Clippers (avg money) -5
Parlay (HUGE) Bulls & Clippers money line

Magic (small) +8
Heat (small) -4

I didn't touch Knicks/Celtics because of Pierce being out and I think Rondo destroys who ever NYK puts on him this early in the season

Heat/Mavs I was surprised to see Miami favored and by 4. I figured Vegas would put more on Dallas to pursued action on Miami money line.

Magic/Thunder, don't have much of a feel with it being 8. I took Orlando +8 but minimal money

[Black&Silver]

how much are you putting on the bulls-lakers?

I put 75 on Bulls/Clippers parlay money line & then 35 for parlay spreads.

All these guys in front, and the champ is the white guy stuck in the back.

If it was the other way around you would have the antagonists saying it was the master leading the slaves....

Why is LeBra on this pic? The Heat are clearly Wade's team...those kind of pictures should not include role players imo.

Did anyone see the TNT intro ?


Daaaaaaaaaaaaan

Carmelo Anthony is doing very well in his current role passing the ball. Looks great.

[baseline bum]

Man, this is great seeing NBA basketball again. You gotta be nuts to put money up on opening day though. Even in normal seasons good teams lay eggs in these games.

meh

It's ok

I guess

:cry LeBron speaking real talk to the kids in that commercial. It was beautiful seeing his concern. :cry

I think the Heat and the Bulls were obvious good bets. I won't comment on the Heat because that game is already taking place.

But the Bulls play a Lakers team without Bynum. Bulls have length to trouble Pau. Bulls strongest position is the Lakers weakest. Rose attacking is even easier without Bynum. Also Rose's game shouldn't be effected as much by the layoff. Kobe is somewhat hurt.

Bulls will probably win by 8+. The money line is definitely a good bet.

Actually I'd argue the opposite. NBA players bring their A game on the biggest stage: national televised games

It's the mid week, 4th straight night with a game, in the middle of nowhere like Milwaukee ........and you no show

[NewcastleKEG]

Rondo went off

11 of 19, 9 of 12 FT's. 31 PTS, 5 boards, 13 assists, & 5 steals

Baron Davis must have loved the look from the bench

[Otaku]

Celtics +5 @ Knicks (No Pierce)

Heat -4 @ Mavericks

Bulls -4 @ Lakers

Magic +8 @ Thunder

Clippers -5 @ Warriors




I'm thinking:
Bulls (big money) money line
Bulls (avg money) -4
Clippers (big money) money line
Clippers (avg money) -5
Parlay (HUGE) Bulls & Clippers money line

Magic (small) +8
Heat (small) -4

So far so good... 0/3 for you :lmao
