Sammy Meatballs? Never Heard of Her
Lets break these games down tomorrow Sammy Meatball style.
First I think that all this talk about home teams winning is not good.
So we have some home teams hitting at a very high rate? Cleveland won today, Spurs won and we are seeing a lot of series tied 2-2. The home team is playing at home and can have the advantage to win.
Now I have seen people say okay now I will take New Orleans tomorrow at the low line because favorites are 18-2 ATS.
If you take New Orleans they will have to win on the court tomorrow. THey can win if they dominate play and defend well and score on the Spurs. Unfortunately they are not going to be able to use any of the 18 spread covers by the home teams tomorrow.
If the spread covers were 10-10 or 20-0 or 50-0 it does not change the outlook on tomorrow's game. We are seeing teams that are not closing on the road this year. WHY- Is it parity no dominant teams or many teams that are fairly even. Could it have something to do with the competitive west and teams with more than 50 wins? Could it be that there is very little difference in these teams and home is making the difference?
Boston tonight IMO had no chance to win the game due to the Doc Rivers factor. Boston does not know how to win on the road. People that lost on Boston are most likely going to bet New Orleans tomorrow thinking that no road team can win.
IT is irrelevant what had happened in any other series. In this series all home teams have won by big margins. Are we going to see Spurs mail this one and rely on winning game 6 at home? NO because they need 1 road win to win the series.
J PIcks posted a brilliant comment about the JAZZ- Lakers are supposed to rebound and crush the Jazz now? WHat if the Utah pick and roll heats up, and Boozer is hitting? What if Fisher is in foul trouble forcing Farmar to play more minutes. These upsets happen when no one expects them to happen.
I think the Pistons win their series tomorrow after JAMEER just gave them more motivation. Magic are not winners on that team, just soft chokers.
We will see what Hornets and Byron Scott is made of tomorrow. The Spurs have won many road games in the past. It is rare for them to keep losing road games like this. I think they can win a tight game. I know the Hornets energy will be high tomorrow and at least make this a close game. I expect Spurs energy tobe high also, and this wont be a throw away game.
Cap the games individually- THe Hornets are not going to win tomorrow because home teams are 18-2 ATS. They will win because they outplay the spurs. I also would not take the spurs thinking that a road team is due to win in this years playoffs.
I do think though that the road team has the Momentum to win game 5 on the road because they are coming off 2 wins, it is common to win 4 straight. A good team will rebound, a young team may just lose it completely.
