NBA Regular Season YTD: 432-320-16
NBA Playoffs YTD: 24-13-2
4-2-1 today. Moving on to Friday.
Boston and Knicks is by far the best series IMO after the D-Rose show. Both games went down the wire and superstars shined like they would. Knicks came close in both games and only if they have a better closer they could've come back 2-0. I think this time, we'll see a better performance from the Knicks now that they'll be at home. Two Knicks players (three if Billups plays) feeds off the crowd's energy and they'll probably play a lot better. Game 3 is a must win for the home team and I believe they'll come out stronger than they did on both Game 1 and 2. They could've easily won game 2 if they had someone to tail Rondo. He had a dozen of easy lay ins en route to his 30 point performance. Not playing any at the moment but I'm leaning on Boston Celtics +3.0. Think of this much like Pacers-Bulls or Mavs-Blazers of tonight. The points came a long way in a close quarter match. I think Boston forces them to be close with the total being the better play. UNDER 191.5 should cover like the first two games. Knicks almost always lays an egg in the 3rd where Boston always comes out fresh and plays tough D.
Two easy plays here. Atlanta Hawks +1.5/ML and the UNDER 181.0. Same reasoning as with the first two games. Hawks will play a better job at home with the home crowd behind them. Hawks escapes this close game and return to Orlando with the series tied.
Don't kid yourself here. Hornets will play the Lakers close but won't be enough for the cover. I'd like to say the Los Angeles Lakers -5.0 is the play here but I'll believe it's still a long shot. Hornets are an electrifying team specially at home and Paul feeds off the crowd's energy. New Orleans has great court energy and will be a huge factor if they would want to go up 2-1 after game 3. Emeka Okafor has been like the Carlos Boozer of the series. He's barely there but somehow still producing. If he could keep himself out of foul trouble early in the game. Nawlins has a great shot at the cover. Yes, I'm only speaking of them covering. I doubt they'll have enough to win but it should be close. You gotta give mad props to Coach Monty for having a great job limiting Pau Gasol. He's never been a factor in both games. Lucky for the Lakers, Lamar Odom easily picks his slack up. I say, we see the same defensive intensity and a little more from the Hornets making the UNDER 184.0 a very good play. As for the side, I'm still on the edge here. So no real lean for myself either.
BOL.
