Back to the NBA prop thread. Passed on repeat bet on Ben, as number dropped to 22 1/2. He almost did that in rebounds alone. Today I am going against the glove. Under 10 1/2 points and under 15 points and assists. Did not happen on road in Spurs series. He does not play that many minutes, and they have gotten less. With DFish playing way better, he is getting better as this goes. Way more production from him. Lakers have so many options, he just heaves up 3's. But 20% is not so good. They primarily want him to D up Sam. Inside game is really rolling. Plus I feel this game could be a defensive battle, scoring and assists both suffer. Noticed how Glove has shut the hell up, and is such a great team player, after they started winning? All he has to do is sit in the back of the limo, while Shaq, Kobe and Karl drive him to the top of the mountain. Best Wishes...OF
Passed on Shaq miss first ft, as they ratcheted up to -1.40 and he was great from stripe.

Back to the prop thread. Tonight I favor a player, Rip Hamilton. I think being defended, if you can call it that, by crunchtime hero R-E-G-G-I-E is quite an advantage. Rip has taken on the bulk of the scoring load. Taking a good 20+ shots a game. Avg 22 last 3. And he gets lots of good looks running tired old Reggie through the screens and picks. Plus he gets to the hole on cuts and slashes. Makes his ft's. Only hole in the trend is a 6 foul triple OT fluke. Otherwise he stays in game. Took him over 19 -.15, under 20 1/2 ev for a shot, but lean on over. Rip vs. Oneal +2 and 2 1/2, Rip vs. Artest + 1/2. Also goofy Pacers more ft -1, -1.30. That with my +4 1/2 is where I am...OF
Back to the prop thread, one of my most profitable. Going with Garnett 23 1/2 points, un. Garnett p/r/a 40 1/2 un. Also a team total, TWolfs un 87 and 86. Going against KG tonight as he seems to be choppy as of late. Last game he got 24, but that was with Phil leaving Medvedenko on an island with KG. See Karl and Shaq getting real physical with KG, leaning on him hard. Also see some real value on team total as Lakers D at home is just stifling. A little concerned a may digress into a free throw exhibition, but if it goes normal or no calls, TWolfs cannot score here. Last, another 1/2 bet for fun Lakers -12 1/2, +1.80. I know, what a sucker bet. But the numbers are actually better than spread. I hope the run continues, best wishes...OF
Well revisiting the prop thread, still undefeated at player props. Tonight's O'Neal 29 1/2 points and boards under. Motown at home allows nothing. Not boards or points. With Ben Wallace resting last game, and Sheed sticking to him like glue, O'Neal has had a tough go, at home. He is prone to road foul trouble. Just to get to that number, he has to play max minutes and makes a high % of his shots. I am betting that does not happen. Last night I was cruising along with my under 87 and my Lakers -12 1/2 +1.80, had a 17 point lead with 4 minutes left and boom, back to back treys from KG and ?. Turned a table runner to a splitter. But, undeterred, I will try Pacers un 78, and Pistons -10 1/2, +2.70. But player prop is the biggest position, and +2.70 1/2 play. Best Wishes...OF

I thought the best prop was R Hamilton ov 3.5 Free Throw's made. I almost lost the the wager when he missed 1 of his FT's in the 3rd period. It was not untill late in the 4th that he got fouled and saved my ass. I think he made 5 or 6 FT's all together. I'll take that wager every game if they have it up.
Well per special request I will throw one player prop out. Kobe 11 1/2 boards and assists, un. Chasing around Spree and suddenly effective Wally has taken Kobe away from the boards. Both of those guys launch from long range. Kobe is not even in position to get the boards. He can get some assists, but Kobe is like Frank Sinatra, he does it, his way. But then, if he has a half, either first or second, like last game, no worries...Best Wsihes
I know Kobe rocks after court appearances...
