2010-11 Season plays:
Sacramento OVER 27.5 Wins (-115): 2.3/2

3/7
Kevin Martin OVER 23 points (+100)
-The Kings struggle to defend scorers at the 3 position. While Martin is more of a 2-guard, he's of the scorers lineage like a Kevin Durant or a Danny Granger. In addition to those guys having huge success against the Kings this year, he's gotta be highly motivated to score tonight considering a poor game a few days ago against the Clippers and because the Kings dealt him away.

3/4
San Antonio -2 (-105) vs. Miami
-Heat on a b2b and they embarrassed themselves blowing a big lead mainly because they couldn't shoot that well for an entire game. I think the let-down/frustration about not being able to beat a good team will trump the motivation to perform well after that loss. In addition, they struggle to beat good teams and San Antonio is one of the best. The Heat are two stars, while the Spurs are a team and even without Tony Parker I think they are the better team. The crowd should be electric as the Heat are going to bring the fringe fans to the arena, and I respect Popovich the most of any NBA coach.

2/12
Kevin Durant OVER 30.5 points (-115)
-My Kings future is going to lose, but I have noticed that they love to let the big scorers go off for a ton of points. Kevin Durant will take all the FTs and he'll get the ball if they are fouling late, but I just don't think the Kings have anyone to guard KD with the Garcia injury. Durant is going to own Omri Casspi, and when Casspi's out I can't even imagine how anyone else will do. Seeing weaker scorers like Joe Johnson go over this number in both games against the Kings this year, along with Danny Granger and Nick Young, makes me think this will be easy. I know it won't, especially since KD only averages 29 per game, but the extra two should find their way in the basket against this joke of a defense.

1/19
Jason Richardson points -1.5 (-120) vs. Andre Iguodala
-I've had Iguodala on my fantasy team all season long dealing with the Achilles injury and I just don't think his last two efforts of 15 and 16 points are going to be a trend. I hope they are for my team's sake, but he's going to have to score over a bigger player in Hedo Turkoglu, plus navigate around Dwight Howard if he wants to get easy points because he's not a great outside shooter. He doesn't shoot FTs well and the Sixers are on the road, which makes me like the Magic/Richardson even more. JRich should get plenty of good looks on the Sixers and he makes his FTs unlike AI.

12/2
Cleveland +5 vs. Miami
-Pretty obvious why I'm playing this game, but the Heat on a b2b with the entire city fuming tomorrow. This game is the city's Super Bowl, considering the lack of quality sports in the town, so get ready for a fired up audience. This may be the first game I've ever been concerned about a player's safety before, but I motion for the game to be moved to The Palace to bring back the memories.

6/17
Boston-Los Angeles UNDER 186.5 (-107): 1.07/1 (5Dimes)
Some crazy trends with g6 and g7 in the NBA Finals going under a ridiculously high amount of the time. Hate to see Joey Crawford, but I'll bite after g6 went over despite blowout city.

6/3
Boston to Win the NBA Finals (+169): 0.743/1.256 (5Dimes)
Boston wins game 2, 3, 4 and 6, but I'm screwed if they win game 1 so here we go.

5/27
Los Angeles -7.5 (-104) vs. Phoenix: 1.04/1 (5Dimes)
Expecting good defense and a big win tonight for the Lakers...

5/23
Los Angeles-Phoenix OVER 219 (-109): 1.09/1 (5Dimes)
Don't think the Suns can win this game without running, and I think the Lakers are okay to run with them if they start trailing. Just hoping the 3pt shots go in for the Suns because I think the Lakers are gonna sweep 'em and it'd take a lot of points for them to win if the Suns shoot well from deep.

5/13
Boston ML (+100) vs. Cleveland: 1/1 (local)
Playing a team with home court against a struggling hall of famer who will try to do too much tonight. Think this is LBJ's last game as a Cavalier and he'll be a Knickerbocker sooner than you'd think. Oh yeah, and, "I spoil a lot of people with my play"
