Default Charlotte ML

Ok guys after getting burnt on that St.Mary's game last night with this betting method instead of just taking the point. I'm not gonna give up on that method just yet.

I really am liking the Bobcats on the ML to beat the Knicks tonight.

any thoughts are always appreciated

I agree, BBD.

Bobbers with the extra rest, a rotation that finally seems set, and Jerry Wallace playing with more aggressiveness. Feast or famine with the Knicks, who were lucky to beat the Jazz. I would make them a dog in a tight endgame against anybody anywhere. While NY may win easy, the Knicks by 1-4 pts scenario that you surrender by playing Bobbers ML seems like not much to give up.

Good to see I'm not the only one crazy enough for taking the Bobcats ML in this game.

I capped this match up quite throughly, and took all the suspensions and injuries into consideration, and this one just screamed take Charlotte in this game.

The ML did me in two nights in a row. I can't believe the way I lost this game. David Lee tips it in on an alley oop at the buzzer in double OT.

Oh well back to the drawing board tomorrow.

Brutal.

Knicks score 9 points in the 4th -- and the Bobs still fail to close.
And again in the 5th.
And again in the 6th.

What a tough way to lose with 0.1 seconds left...unreal.

Both were tough, but Atlanta blowing a 21 point 4th quarter lead had to sting just alittle bit more. Then again, how often does a tip in happen with 0.1 left to win a game? I have never seen it (post Trent Tucker)

And more to come.

I've got a fun quasi-ML via Matchbook

SEA +5 +166

May be uniquely happy, or unhappy, when it's over.

Well, Charlotte had a 5 point lead in the 2nd overtime (I just got home to turn it on) and blew plenty of chances and then I don't understand why Bickerstaff didn't have all 5 guys guarding the rim, that's the only way a team can score with 0.1 seconds left (a tip).

I had a feeling you had this one too bud. However, I didn't know you had the Hawks too. Looks like were both going to have nightmares tonight.

I grabbed both of these very early in the day. I got a late dog too who's currently got a nice lead, but they'll blow it in stunning fashion. Nightmares? I'm going out now and plan on sleeping VERY heavily tonight

Why do I have the feeling that it would have been the Knicks with the 5 pt lead in the 3rd OT, pulling away to win by 9, and queering the ATS play (for those who had it -- sorry BBD).

Two home OT wins in a row for the Fightin' Knicks. Got to be a little less frigid in MSG now.

And I know I say this all the time, but at first sight in a pro uni David Lee looked to me like the 5th starter on a championship team. A 2013 championship team, and somehwere else, but still.

Halftime players love the Blazers and the over. Strange combination.
