Numberz 2008-09 NBA THREAD....

[NumberZ]

Any chance of a "homer" taint to the write up with you being in Chicago?

Also, from another thread somewhere Chicago has been hammered at home by better teams (credit for this thought to hamboner)?

"POR- lost by 14
ORL- lost by 19 and they were down 32 at one point
UTA - lost by 8
NJ- lost by 9"

Classy write-ups so far Z - good stuff -and condolences on the funeral.

Thanks for the kind words Baccy,

As for the play, it should not be a secret that I am a Bulls fan, but I bet with my pocket and not with my heart. There is value in any home dog with a point spread so high, imo, let alone one that is coming off arguably their best performance of the season, just the day before. It's a matter of picking your spots, though..and I feel this to be a good one..Win or lose, I'll ride with what I think is a live dog, in the bulls tonight..

As for the large margins of defeat posted above, Bulls we're banged up in those games..also in a few of those matchups they were exploited by down low scorers, and sent too many guys to the free throw line as a result..With big Z out, I cannot see Varejao having that effect on them..
I know that you mentioned that wasn't ur info above, but the Bulls never lost to NJ this season, they lead the series 2-0..It was the Bulls who won by 9 and not the Nets..

I'm sorry, I was not able to post yesterday, had a funeral to attend and spent the day with family.

Numberz

My condolences. Sorry to hear that.

 

[NumberZ]

My condolences. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks Pace, I appreciate it.

 

[NumberZ]

My leans for tonight, are: Suns SU, Bulls under, Port, and Port under..

Considering a possible play on PHO...Bulls game will only be played for the whole game, no 1st half..I'll be back with a play, if I have one..

[pacesetter]

missed FH and just tuned in...Bulls only down by 2....Z you like any SH play on this game? Will you have late game?

 

[Paddywack]

I have a feeling Chicago will have their typical 2nd half collapse. Hope I'm wrong.

paddy....you must change the avatar....why?....it has a defect...see the white dot on the left shoulder!...it is small, yes?.....but that alone should be grounds for a new avatar

 

[NumberZ]

Glad to have cashed with such an easy winner last night, as the Bulls not only covered, but won straight up, in what was an amazing game. Felt like a reminder of just how difficult it is to sweep a season long series, regardless of the sport we're dealing with...My only, regret was that I did not play the 1st half. But I did collect on what was a generous money line, so I won't complain

Be back with plays shortly..

Cleveland -3 best can get..what say still a play?

Cleveland -3 best can get..what say still a play?

I must admit, Cleveland is in a tough spot tonight, coming off an over time defeat on the road, and playing b2b, against a good Hornets team, who is more than capable of handling the Cavs on the defensive end. Especially considering Cavs injury situation, and more specifically Ilgauskas, and the impact his absence has on this offense. But, imo, we are getting tremendous value here, win or lose. So I say it's still a play at 3.

[NumberZ]

On em all Numberz.

GL to us Paddy

What the fuck is Indiana doing in the 4th quarter?

 

[Paddywack]

I'm feeling a clean sweep tonight numberz.

 

[NumberZ]

It's always nice to start off the night, 3-0.

The 1st half plays, were easy winners, and Indiana came through, after making us sweat out the 4th quarter. Glad we cashed the early ones. Heading out, I'll be back later, to update record.

GL as always,

Z
