NY vs Bos had great battles in the 80's. King vs Bird was a joy to watch. Bernard King's turnaround baseline J's were close to automatic
Hartenstein might go over his props considering Robinson is out.
Great content
Siakam Pts Ast is worth a look. His Ast have been up. Perhaps another way to get there. Or just his Ast. Season average is 4.28 and his line is 3.5.
Steve I like your straight forward no non sense approach. I think a lot of us use your take as a guide. Listening and clicking on our sources while you talk. If you were going to put up graphics, it would be the stats you're talking about. Totals, line movement, but it doesn't need to be flashy. But I prefer early in the morning. Half your videos I'm watching on my break at work, making my handicapping take less time. On those work days my bets are limited. Early is way better! Before the public wakes up and moves some of these lines to out of reach.
Stats please โค
Thanks you for your analysis it do help a lot. I like the videos ether way but early is always better it give time for the information to sink in.
Prefer the speed with no need for graphics. Enjoying my long term subscription to your picks by the way.
Steve do you think Brunson will score 40 again?
crushed it again. you and Drew are straight money.
Domcic looked really sluggish yesterday. That injury may be pretty impactful.
Taking Tyler under 16 in a half points
Taking all your picks
Stevie believable โค
just need Steve and a camera and some info and all is good
Early morning, pleaseโค๐
Hartenstein will soar on his over PP- Robinson out for playoffs.
Bernard King
Turner under rebounds
Oh man you gave it away Stevie. I knew it. Bernard of course.
Brunsons gonna likely go over 40 again!.. Obi should go over in pts. But he has huge defensive responsibilities guarding Turner, Siakim etc. Divencenzo has been burning me. I also got burned by Tatum last night. Wouldve cashed a big parlay w the Celts, n the over plus Brown n White over in 3s. Tatum was my only pick that lost. I still cleaned up tho w baseball. Yanks, Tampa, Philly and Dodgers.
Your insight is admirably incomparable. Graphics to me not so important. It's the research you perform and accuracy that lures me to your show. Keep up the great work man.
Shout out to the production team but you're the star here Steve. We come to hear you because your gospel is fire ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ฐ
Letโs gooo Wagertalk!
Pacers +5.5 ๐
The only ass I'm gonna kiss is Ben Franklins before I stuff a few in my pocket๐
Give a real pick you do a lot of talking and no true picks or answers
I had Boston -12.5 and OKC -3.5 thanks Steve great job as usual!
Steve, a little analysis for everyone. Brunson did not have a poor shooting night hitting 14 of 26 shots (roughly 54%). Remember, Brunson is considered a perimeter player where about 47 to 50% is acceptable because shooters are mostly away from the basket. You would expect Siakum to shoot 52 to 54% or someone who operates closer to the basket. I do agree that Brunson is taking a lot of attempts. I mentioned that a few days ago. Hereโs what can be expected; as long as Brunson stays healthy he will continue to score upward to 40 points because 1) Coach Tom Thibodeau isnโt afraid to play his main player huge minutes to get the victory (ala Josh Hart playing the whole game) and 2) I actually think that 26 attempts for Brunson was on the low side. If Brunson plays as much as Hart, look for JB to have more than 26 shot attempts. Now you might see less than a 54% accuracy for Brunson which might make getting over 37 a challenge. As far as the game, I think that โillegal blockโ on Turner was a bad call. If the Pacers can handle the pressure of a close game, I believe they will cover the +4.5โฆwith a chance for an outright win. Thanks. By the wayโฆI hit a $25 5 team parlay yesterday. You know what they say about luckโฆ๐!
Production team magic – Love stats.
Enjoy the videos, graphics make no difference. Have been staying away from the props unless you do a best bet on one. Zig-Zag theory tonight, maybe?
Simplicity is key, keep going how you got it
Got robbed like Philly
Hey man, I do enjoy the videos and honestly I think I'm fine with either video with graphics or none. All the same to me.
Though I was wondering if you could put in the description box your recommended picks for future videos. Thanks man!
Pacers look like the deeper better team to me but maybe Iโm just seeing things but I think the pacers match up better against the Celtics also
I think KNICKS will cover this time! ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฒ
Pacers ML and going under the total
heres a suggestion actually post a pick or two not just recap the games post the pick at the beginning of the video
Awesome work as always Steve ๐ช๐ป๐๐ผ
