Since Dwight Howard has put on a basketball uniform for the Orlando Magic (04-05) his team has been a pretty scary bet in the 1st two games that have followed the All-Star break as the Magic have gone 4-10su & 5-9ats over the past seven NBA seasons. In their 2nd game following the All-Star break it actually gets worse in relation to winning basketball games as the Magic are 1-6su & 3-4ats over that same period of time as you can see here below:
2/26/05 @Miami (98-101)L +6w*2/22/06 @NJ (93-96)L +11.5w*2/21/07 @Detroit (88-110)L +7.5L*#2/20/08 @Toronto (110-127)L +3.5L*#2/18/09 @New Orleans (85-117)L +1.5L#2/19/10 vsDallas (85-95)L -7L2/25/11 vsOKC (111-88)w -6w
So as you can see history has consistently proven the Orlando Magic to be a loser both on the court and in the wagering world as well in these first 2 games that have followed the All-Star break.
I'm sure most of you would love to ask the all important question of, "But wait they are playing the OKC Thunder tonight and by this analogy the Orlando Magic pulverized them last year in this very same and exact situation. So wouldn't you think they can do it again?"
I'm so glad you asked because there is most certainly a solid reason as to why the Magic were able to pound the Thunder into pulp last season. The Thunder simply had no defense for a man of Dwight Howard's size and athletic ability in the paint as he he poured in 40pts on a remarkable 16 for 20 night from the field (80%). He wa...

http://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=22&sub=101247140Sundays action is:
Wizards +4.5 for 20 units... The power of youth vs a team that's age has caught up with them. The Wizards have scored better than a 100pts now for 3 straight games and I believe that they would like nothing better than to channel their recent success on offense into the Celtics today at home who have already beat the Wizards twice this year. The Celtics season is quickly being written off as the more time that goes by the more we keep hearing about Allen, Garnet and/or Pierce being traded. And Ainge has confirmed he is ready to make a deal...POD
Rondo traveled with the Celtics to Washington and has been listed as a game time decision. Honestly I expect him to play. And that's just fine. If he doesn't play that's fine to. The Celtics are possibly the hottest messes in the NBA right now @ 5-9su & 1-4su on ...

I'm still having a CJ Miles hate fest after that meaningless 3 ball yesterday at the end of regulation was the reason I went 1-2 netting -24 units instead of 2-1 netting +18 units. Isn't NBA wagering fun? Here's that moose of a thread below:

One play tonight on:
Knicks -5.5 for 20 units.... The Bucks are 0-8su & 1-7ats on the road this year. I have no problem laying the chalk in this spot with the Knicks when most will be reluctant to wager on either of these teams right now. Seems like a great spot for the Knicks tonight at home...POD...

http://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=22&sub=101244036&page=1Tonight's action on:
Rockets -9.5 for 20 units... The have been tinkering with the #4 spot all season spreading time out to 3 different players (Carl Landry, Jason Smith & Gustavo Ayon). The Hornets are currently 0-3su on the 2nd leg of b2b games this year. The fact that Ariza & Belinelli both played 40 minutes last night while Jack played 35 minutes leads me to believe that this game reeks of a possible blowout with no security on the depth chart for the Hornets (hence all the tinkering of the lineups). The bottom line here is the High scoring Rockets only played 2 players over 30+ minutes (Parsons 31min & Dalembert 33min) 2 days ago at home in their blowout of the Pistons 97-80. With the extra day of rest for the Rockets while sitting at home awaiting the tired legs of the Hornets on overnight travel from New...
