Hi all,
It has been a while since i posted. I haven't stopped betting, but some of the matches were just to difficult to take a stand on so i postponned my pciks. sometimes you need a break and collect yourself.
Anyway, we are off to another season in the NBA and from first glance and the transfers made in the summer i can say that someone wan't to stop the GSW from winning again, that is why Lebron, Rondo and McGee is at the Lakers, that is why the Rockets have Paul, and that is why OKC has some good players. Clearly the battle is fought in the West and we shall see who comes out on top.
In the west i pick 3 teams to fight for the title: GSW, Rockets and LAL, maybe even the OKC, but i feel sorry for the Thunder as they had a good chance a few years back and blew it, now Westbrook is getting older and won't put up those impressive triple doubles anymore, but i hope he will be have one more go at it and have a great season, because i like his work ethics and his style of play.
Derozan joined the Spurs in a swap for Kawhi Leonard, but that is not enough for the Spurs to get a shot at the top 3 in the west.
In the east we have the Raptors who improved with Leonard, he is far better than Derozan, so i expect them to be better than last season.
Boston didn't have any notable moves, but got a healthy Hayward again and we shall see him in the opening match this season again against the 76ers tonight.
Which brings me to the 76ers, they have been strong last season and really challenged the Cavs, and the Celtics all i can say is that i expect them to be better than last season and go for the nr 1 spot in the east.
Other good teams are the Timberwolves, Bucks, Wizards.
For today we have two matches
Boston hosting the 76ers, Boston is a -5 fav and totals 210.5
and
GSW vs OKC , GSW is -13.5 and totals 220.5
Not sure what to pick here so i will leave it for now let's see how the teams start off.
instead i will pick from the NHL today
Tampa Bay vs Carolina hurricanes - i pick Tampa win in regular time @ 2.00 stake 1 unit
Minnesota Wild vs Arizona Coyotes pick Wild to win @2.08 stake 1 unit
Best of luck for everyone.
