Kojak's Friday NBA Views

Kojak · Dec 25, 2003

I am back and refreshed from the holiday. I hope everyone had a great holiday and made some money as well. Like I mentioned in an earlier thread I will no longer list lines or keep a record but will only state my opinion on games to those that are interested. So let's get to it.

Chicago Bulls- This will become one of the more competitive rivalries in the East as both are young teams being run by the Paxson Brothers Jim and John. Cleveland won straight up in Chicago last week and will be looking for some revenge in this one. Cavs who played on Xmas will be playing back to back games which I feel is also important in this one. Bulls are well rested and will be a live dog in this one.

Memphis Grizzlies- New York simply is not playing well as a team while Memphis has won 6 games (correct me if I'm wrong) in a row at home. The difference in this one is the backcourt of the Grizzlies who have been playing real well.

LA Clippers - Clippers have been a tough home team of late. Philly will once again be without Iverson which will hamper them to keep offensively with LA

Phoenix Suns- Boston will be making their 2nd trip to the west coast in less than a month. Suns have woke up a little since Johnson firing and will be too much at home for Celtics

Best of luck!

Why no more lines Kojak? I like following your plays but without the lines I can't grade the close ones.

Gary Philly,

The reason I am no longer listing lines or record is due to a few bad apples who were complaining about me editing my lines. I would put my lines up the night before the games but my offshore casino Rio does not list them till the next day. So I would change them afterwards to reflect the lines I got but people had complained so I decided to no longer list lines for that reason and stopped listing record because I feel this forum should be about getting information or my handicapping out to people without people feeling we are in competition. I only want to help people in making intelligent decisions on games. Best of luck.

Although I feel it's BS for other's to be able to dictate the way you post, I feel your all around reasoning for posting in this manner is commedible, and a great thing for this forum!

If we had a lot less people with ego's and more people like you around here this would be an outstanding place to be!

Thanks for all the info Kojak!

Keep up the good work!

Nice to see you back Kojak--I like seeing your opinions as well. Keep up the great work. There are plenty of agendas around here, but for the most part people are trying to help. You do what makes you happy, continued good luck and success to you my friend.

#1cheater and myfootballgame,

I appreciate your comments. I know that I am supported by many as I support those that are willing to share their information and taking their time to contribute on this forum. Tonight has not been a great night as I was on a couple close calls. Hopefully the Clippers can pull it out. Best of luck.

Kojak, i would like to see you go back to posting the lines. Just use Cris' overnight as the line you use. Everyone here would appreciate it i am sure.

Kojak · Dec 26, 2003

weekendalki,

You and a couple of people have requested that I go back to the old way I was posting which I will list the lines from the overnight since a lot of people think it assists them. Best of luck.

GLJJNOVA · Dec 26, 2003

Thats right Kojak do your thing. And I don't see why you can't update your lines as they move; Don't feed into the BS. I like what you do and I know I'm not alone.

Gary Philly,

I have decided to go back to the way I was doing things as I have had a lot of support to do so including that of your own. Thanks for your support!
