2-0 on Tuesday, pretty lucky cover by Denver, but they were covering most of the way so I don't feel too guilty for stealing it at the end, the game was tied with less than 45 seconds to go though.


Last week at one point I proclaimed I was on a nice little NBA mini-run. Well it's no longer a mini-run:

Last 7......7-0-0

Last 14....12-1-1

Last 18....15-2-1


I don't see anything on the early lines that I like that much. I definitely won't bet another Cavs/Bobcats game. Last time I did was back in January and I lost by a half-point on a meaningless 3 pointer in OT by Felton. It was my first ever bet at a real casino in Las Vegas and I lost it, now every time I see Cleveland play Charlotte it brings back bad memories. (And I think these teams played another one in March that came down to a half-point if I remember correctly.)

I have a pretty good feeling about Toronto. They did struggle there for a bit but the teams they lost to were mostly better than them anyway. Atlanta has been pretty hot and it's been a while since they've lost at home, but they played a lot of bottom feeders over that time. They have revenge on Toronto which is something I'm not thrilled about but there's a lot of raw numbers that strongly favor Toronto (and the OVER).
