Well the Celtics have certainly taken much of the first round profit away. Thats okay though. The Cavs have made it up and more. Hopefully the close it out tomorrow night. Was suprised that Denver showed the second half heart last night. I give them credit but the Lakeshow still got us the cash. Thanks to Orlando for a big second half to make it just a bit over juiced out night. The Magic still have some flaws though and assuming Detroit makes it past Philly it will be a semi-short series I believe.
Philadelphia @ Detroit:
The Stons have played Detroit basketball for about 60 minutes o this series. I seriously hope they have their heads right for the rest of this series. The key so far in the series has been the SF matchup. Tayshaun is absolutely owning Iggy on both ends. Flip told Prince before the playoffs that he wanted him not to defer on offense in the playoffs and he has been brilliant with 17.3 ppg on 66 percent shooting. He is showing that old great defense from years ago(ask Kobe, T-Mac etc). Dice's broken nose may have been a blessing. Maxy guarded Thaddeus Young much better in my opinion and Dice still feels more comfortable coming off the bench. As for tonights game...I think its gfoing to be a slugfest. I also think that Detroit makes the plays in the 4th and pulls away unlike game one. Not a good betting spot either way here though. So pass on this. Detroit 91-82
Dallas @ New Orleans:
Can you here it? Its he countdown to the implosion of Mark Cubans Mavericks. Unbelieveable that they were so close to a Ship a few years ago before Stern handed it to Mr. Wade and company. How the mighty have fallen. Sad game by Jason Kidd the other night. Three points and three assists? Wow. The Hornets faithful will be buzzing tonight(no pun) and a team flying high with confidence will end the series. I am not worried about a "last stand" for Dallas. That was game three. Just remember, the quicker the season ends the quicker J-Ho can resume his recreational activity. New Orleans rolls 104-88
Utah @ Houston:
Trace saved some fac for the season by coming up with some huge plays at the end of Game three. No doubt in my mind that Utah wins this series but now its how far do they get extended. Houston has to look at it this way. Just one more win at Utah and they could hav a Game 7 at home. To get to that point, just win a game you should according to the oddsmakers at home. I think its doable. I got a very nice hunch here and we got Skip to my Lou to help out as well. Its going to be a dogfight, hence a small play but I think its the right side. Houston forces a game 6 95-88
Phoenix @ San Antonio:
Marlo used a term in the IN-GAME last night which was pretty comical to describe the hawks after the first quarter...premature ejaculation. Now, he Hawks did win but I totally see hat he said. I will borrow that term for the Phoenix Suns. Everyone points to Game one and this/that. No more excuses Suns. Seriously. You have to play full games to win in the playoffs usually. I seriously think the Suns blew their wad on Sunday. SA played so great on Friday this letdown was ineveitable. The Spurs are too veteran laden to let this series get back to Phoenix. They will close this out tonight. I even expect it too get a bit "snippy" at the end. BAR against the world on SA again
Spurs advance 108-96.
The Plays:
New Orleans -6 -110 3.5 units
Houston -2 -110 1.5 units
San Antonio -5 -110 2.5 units
I decided to bold the plays in "pretty colors". I mentioned to Yanks last night that I thought that making plays in colors would basically up the win percentage an whatnot. I har all the top cappers at Blankets use cool font and colors. Join the crowd!:tiphat:
