Lines seem to reveal a lot. Especially early in the playoffs.

Big big lines tomorrow. Think the SU is obvious in first 3 games. Strong line for Warriors in the only competitively lined game.
 
Amazing to me GMs still get fooled by what I call Stat Monkeys who put up big numbers on total shit teams. The cost of acquiring them plus their max deals just kills franchises. Beal deal has set Phoenix back years. Porter in Denver another one to me. Murray maybe unless he plays like a superstar again which he's showing signs of. Give a max deal to wrong guy you're pretty screwed with 2nd apron. Still think the whole Luka thing was Adleson family not wanting to pay him max extension. But he's probably one you should pay or at least get a Gobert like return for. Kuma not at that level obviously but same type of situation

Flippers played pretty poorly at times but seemed to dominate the entire game. Line in g2 says they win. Might be a big bet.

It's always a two sided coin. They dominated and lost. Not sure we will see another game like that from Zubic and overall, you miss a chance to win on the road - most chances you will regret it.
1-1 will make it much more comfortable betting Denver in Game 3 though... :)

Clips got it. Felt like a crowded boat but we prevailed.
Don’t love anything tonight, am I looking wrong?

Playoffs don’t worry about how crowded the boat is. But the pregame strength of the line. Books adjusted that puppy almost 4-4.5 points.

I don’t love anything. My eyes saw Bucks stifle Indiana late and had they made open shots they should have actually completed the comeback. Was on Indiana.
 
I don't know how to go about making a case for either Clippers or Nuggets. It does seem like a big "under" series so far. The first game went into OT and still went under. Kawhi scored 39 and both teams were good-to-solid from deep and the "under" still hit by ten points. Besides one or even two overtimes, I'm not sure what it will take for an "over" to hit?

Big under series.

I was going to be all over live under with 2:50 left in the first and the game started dying then.

Still shoulda but yeah these games are lined low for a reason.

Pace seems frantic but the scoring is hit n miss.
 
Halftime in LA. Minnesota actually with a solid push to end the half.

Four assists won't cut it!

I kinda want to try and get some of Grizz money back….something out of em. 10 sounds good but it’s just a terrible matchup and they might roll over
 
Coach is expecting atmosphere to be like no other....Cade might be too tough to handle if he gets going at home..Knicks have been streaking they have no bench
 
Refs will be important today, especially in GSW.

I’m not sure the Clippers even with bad home refs could lose to these Nuggets again.

Thunder made up a lot more than this but when they were on a 20-7 run, they were down 13, still, and ended up winning by 6 with about 18 mins of game time. So 19 points in 18 mins of no Ja, and 35 or something overall in a little over a half.

15 seems like a lot but do guys like Caruso and Cole seem like ones that will give up a lead for a late moose?
 
Anyone know who is doubtful for IND today. Heard a reporter from indy talking about it but missed the name. Suppose to be a stomach muscle.
