Hello All, Newbie here

hello everyone, i'm the NKOTB (New Kid on the Block) found this site tonight & looks a nice place. although i'm new here, i'm not new to the grind. like others i have hot & cold spells. my main goal is to make a little beer money & exchange ideas & plays. i try to give reasons behind my plays, but feel free to disagree at anytime. i will try to post on a regular basis here, as i also do in another forum, so here goes

the last eight games between the Lakers & Jazz have gone over the total. the Lakers on the road this year avg 105.9 ppg & allow 100.7 ppg & have gone 6-1 under as a road fav & 6-2 under the last eight road games. the Jazz avg 105 ppg at home & allow 95.5 ppg, going 11-3 under the last 14 at home. i think the Jazz will play a tighter game from the start tonight
