MMR seem to be building a solid support at the 100 level, this is the 3rd time it bounced off the support. Gained 18 units the last 2 days. If we just stick to the formula of fading all 4 unit picks, MMR would be unstoppable. The Orlando game yesterday was actually a 5 unit game, but I manually adjusted Rafer Alston to miss the game, which lowered it to a 4 unit, but of course Rafer kicked ass yesterday and ORL won with ease. Denver started fast then faded, I think Denver covers that game 8 times out of 10, just a bad day for them. And Lakers? They obviously have no heart to cover games, blew a 13 point 4Q lead, how can they consider themselves a dominant team when they’re barely a .500 team ATS. Mamba lacks the killer instinct.
