Service Plays Tuesday 12/14/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Ice picks: Tuesday's best NHL bets


Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-130, 6)

The top two teams in the Atlantic Division square off as the Philadelphia Flyers look to end Pittsburgh’s 12-game winning streak. It’s not going to be easy.

The Penguins have scored 19 goals over the last four games and you’ve heard all about Sidney Crosby’s ridiculous 18-game scoring streak that has him leading the league with 26 goals and 51 points, but goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been a huge part of the streak as well.

After a terrible start to the season, Fleury has helped the Pens limit their opposition to two or fewer goals in 11 games during the winning streak. Pittsburgh’s offense should get a boost as Evgeni Malkin hopes to return to the lineup after missing four games with a knee injury. However, if it wasn’t for Pittsburgh’s hot streak, we’d be hearing a lot more about the Flyers, who are 6-1-3 in their last 10.

"The Flyers are a solid opponent. If we focus on the way we play, and that's what we've been doing, it'll work out," Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury told reporters. "You always want to be the team to break the streak. That's why, every night, we need to be good. There aren't many easy nights in the season.”

It may not be easy, but it’s pretty hard to turn down getting the Pens as an underdog right now.

Pick: Penguins

Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers (-120, 5.5)

Edmonton coach Tom Renney rarely loses his cool, which is part of the reason why he’s such a good fit behind the bench. That’s why when he does flip his lid, the Oilers take notice.

With Edmonton in an awful tailspin earlier this season, Renney lost it on his club and the Oilers bounced back. They had won four straight before losing two of their last three, the most recent of which was a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, with the Oilers only managing 12 shots on goal.

Renney criticized the club’s effort saying “our battle level was lacking” and that they allowed a “real good team to come in and have an easy game.”

Don’t expect that to happen in consecutive games, especially in a winnable home game against the Leafs.

Pick: Oilers

Tuesday's best NCAAB bets


Oakland Golden Grizzlies at No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers (N/A )

The Tennessee Volunteers haven’t let the whole Bruce Pearl fiasco bother them much on the court. They have jumped out to a 7-0 record and have been good to supporters by covering in five of those victories, including an impressive 83-76 win over Pitt as an 8-point underdog.

“We wanted to see where we’re at defensively and as a team,’’ Cameron Tatum told reporters. “If we can stop a tough offensive team like Pitt and then come down and score against a tough defensive team, that goes a long way in saying where we might be.’’

That’s for sure. The Vols are big, athletic and have committed to defending. The Vols are a club to be reckoned with this year and Bruce Pearl may just turn Knoxville into a basketball town just yet.

“When you win and when you do it consistently, you’re more part of the equation,’’ Pearl said. “We have a chance to make the NCAA tournament for the sixth straight year and that’s never been done before here.’’

Pearl will make sure his Vols know all about Oakland, which just put a major scare into Michigan State with a 77-76 loss over the weekend.

Pick: Vols

Drexel Dragons at No. 21 Louisville Cardinals (-14, 134)

The Louisville Cardinals feel that they’re a legitimate top-25 team and took a major step in backing up that claim with a 77-69 win over UNLV over the weekend as a 3-point favorite.

What was even more impressive than the final score was the fact that starters Mike Marra and Rakeem Buckles were held without a point. To pick up the slack, the Cardinals bench chipped in with 42 points and gave the team a lift when it was down nine points in the second half.

“We're just a very balanced team, and we can play with the best,” sophomore guard Peyton Siva told reporters. “I feel like on any given night anybody can step up. That's what makes it so hard to scout us.”

Louisville’s balanced attack that’s averaging about 83 points per night will be too much for Drexel.

Pick: Louisville

Pick 'n' roll: Tuesday's best NBA bets


Los Angeles Lakers at Washington Wizards (N/A)

The Lakers get a big piece of their championship puzzle back Tuesday – a 7-foot, 285-pound piece.

Center Andrew Bynum is expected to make his season debut against the Wizards Tuesday after sitting out the first quarter of the schedule while recovering from knee surgery. Bynum practiced Monday, which is a big indication that the five-year veteran is ready to play.

"We're not putting anything on it until after we get through a practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday," head coach Phil Jackson told reporters this past weekend. "One of those games he's going to make it."

Bynum’s return plugs a huge hole in Los Angeles’ frontcourt. Forwards Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom have been manning the paint in the past few weeks due to Bynum’s absence and injuries to reserves Theo Ratliff and Derrick Caracter.

Not only that, but having a legit big man in the post forces defenses to respect the Lakers interior, giving room to the team’s perimeter threats, who have struggled from outside. Los Angeles is 2-1 to open its extended road trip, but has failed to cover in each of those contests.

The Lakers defeated Washington, 115-108, at home on December 7, falling short as 13-point favorites. Los Angeles has won eight straight games over the Wizards, but is just 4-4 ATS in that span. The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these clubs.

Pick: Los Angeles

Toronto Raptors at Charlotte Bobcats (-4.5, 202.5)

Scoring hasn’t been an issue with the Raptors the past few seasons. Last year, Toronto ranked fifth in the NBA in points, scoring more than 104 a night. And this year, the Dinos are pouring in almost 103 points per game.

However, no amount of points can make up for the team’s shortcomings on defense. They’re giving up an average of 105.5 points and just allowed the Detroit Pistons, a team that fumbles with 94 points an outing, score 116 points.

“You’ve got to play at both ends of the floor if you’re going to be successful,” head coach Jay Triano told reporters before Saturday’s game.

When we finally, collectively make ourselves more accountable at the defensive end of the floor and I do as a coach, then we will start winning more basketball games.”

Toronto has given up more than 100 points in five straight games – playing over the total in four of those contests. On the year, the Raptors 13-11 over/under with more than half of those over paydays coming in the past 10 games.

Pick: Over

Bettors' best friend (BBF): Tuesday's wagering tips


Who’s hot

NBA: Philadelphia 76ers have covered in each of their last eight games.

NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins have won 12 straight games.

NCAAB: Louisville has won eight consecutive games and has covered in three of its last four.

NCAAB: Tennessee has covered in each of its last four.

Who’s not

NBA: The Los Angeles Lakers have dropped nine of their last 10 against the spread.

NBA: Detroit Pistons have lost four out of five both straight up and against the number.

NBA: Denver Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last six.

Key stat

28 minutes, 53 seconds – the amount of time the Pittsburgh Penguins have trailed during their 12-game winning streak, while allowing two or fewer goals in 11 of those 12 contests. The Penguins square off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Andrew Bynum (knee), Los Angeles Lakers – Bynum practiced Monday and is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday at Washington. The Lakers have been banged up all season up front with Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom both banged up, though Los Angeles will likely ease Bynum back into the lineup.

Game of the day

Orlando Magic at Denver Nuggets

Notable quotable

"It always with me starts at the defensive end of the floor, and we're not committed at all right now. I don't see the interest really in trying to be a great defensive team. To me, that's where it starts." – Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy on his club’s recent defensive problems. Orlando has dropped four of its last five, but did limit the Clippers to 85 points in Sunday’s win.

Notes and tips

The Carmelo Anthony saga has taken another turn. After the Nuggets dropped a 129-125 decision to the New York Knicks, the three-time All Star reportedly told ESPN that he would only sign a three-year $65-million contract extension if he is traded to the Knicks.

Word has it that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been chirping Baron Davis from his courtside seats. An unnamed source says Sterling has been heard saying “Why are you in the game?” and “You’re out of shape!” Davis declined comment about the situation, but says that he is trying to hard and can’t seem to get into the flow of the game.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin has missed four straight games with a knee injury but wants to play Tuesday against Philadelphia. Malkin, who has been inconsistent all year, expects to take the morning skate and go from there.
