Bad night...Down 1.5 units this week with 2 days to go...Long way to go this season, don't get careless with your money management folks...The Hornets was a bad pick, pure and simple as I over-analyzed that one and got away from my basic principles, passing on games like Denver and the Lakers, two situational spots I usually bet 9 out of 10 times and passed, while I took the Hornets in a spot I would bet 1 out of 10 times and just got too cute...I also passed on Minny, a game I stated in my previews that was an early Christmas gift given to us by Vegas and I didn't have the guts to play it when in recent years I would not have hesitated...

Back to basics...

There may be other plays, we'll see...

Saturday, December 9

Los Angeles Clippers -2 -- $202 to win $200 --- (or LAC -2 hcp @1.990, 2/10, Pinnacle)

Bought up 1/2 a point here...The Clips were 3-1 SU last season after a loss by 20 or more points their previous game...MEMP is 0-5 SU and the Clips are 3-2 SU in the back-end of bk-2-bks this season...LAC is 1-0 and MEMP is 0-3 SU when they and their opponent are both in the back-end of bk-2-bks...These teams already met under those conditions at Staples on 11/29 and the Clips won by 15 after losing 5 straight and being on a NC7 at that time...The Clippers are the only team in the league without a Road win, and this will not go on forever and if you need proof of that, look at what the Wizards did this week after being winless on the Road on the season...Coach Mike Dunleavy pulled Elton Brand late in the 3Q and only played Sam Cassell 9 minutes total Friday in an obvious attempt to save these guys for the back-ender at Memphis on Saturday...Here are 2 quotes from the Los Angeles Times:

"It was embarrassing, man, just embarrassing," Elton Brand said. "That wasn't a game, it was a clinic on how to play hard and play winning basketball. They played hard, shared the ball and worked together. That's what we want to do."

"It was just a good old butt whuppin'," Sam Cassell said. "It was old-fashioned, just like the one your grandmama used to give you. We just didn't put forth an effort and it showed."

The Clips were throttled from start to finish in San Antonio and that puts them in bounce-back mode tonight...They aren't playing well, but a thrashing like this has a way of galvanizing a team and giving them proper motivation, focus and effort their next time out and sometimes getting on the court the very next night is the perfect antidote to cure some frustrations from a bad loss...

Good Luck...brewers7

[vinnyvegas]

Wish the public wasn't all over this game...but I'll ride it anyway...GL

[vinnyvegas]

Excellent B7...nicely done!

[Spiccoli]

Another W

[brewers7]

Action bet on:

Portland +7.5, $55 to win $50

Chris Bosh is OUT...Won't bet bigger because Randolph is suspended and I wonder if TOR rises up here w/o Bosh...

[drugstuntman]

clips last night and minnesota last week makes it twice we have won with a team getting their first road win....nice job brewer, keep rolling along

[brewers7]

The PORT bet was a last-second as I had the satellite on and they announced Bosh OUT as the "big story" as soon as the telecast came on at 1:00, so I quick bet it and posted it as soon as I could...

May or may not have a bet later, I would say probably not, but the PHOE over looks decent to me as the Bobcats should be able to score here without Knight...
