Game 5: Det 91, Orl 86

I just feel when they win which is an awful lot, they win big for the most part, when the games are within 5 points they are 4-8 SU since 2008. I just do not think they are that great of a team to hold off teams when the game is close. I never said they were a bad team or have not been the best team in the playoffs so far. But with that said, they are not unbeatable.



The Hawks are even worse as far as winning close playoff games.  They either win big or lose.

But good luck.

Not 100% sure what 2009 numbers mean to this game.
Have you ever heard the expression: That Was Then...This Is Now.....?
Well, if you haven't, it certainly applies here.  Each of these teams (ORL and ATL) are VERY different than last year.....

Hard to go against what has happened in the last 3 games.....

You got a shot, and im with you, if this will be a close game, Atlanta can win one..

But I got Atlanta plus the Points.

Good Luck Buddy!

Isn't there a better bet to pick today than risking to pick the lowly hawks

Home underdogs of 6 points or more are 26-14-1 ATS in the playoffs, including 17-4-1 ATS for teams with a winning record. Teams down 0 games to 3 in a playoff series are just 15-28-2 ATS in game 4, but those teams are 3-0-1 ATS as home dogs of 6 points or more with a winning record, so the big home dog trend is certainly strong!

Thats what Orlando Magic wants, playing teams they know they can beat up, and a team who is under pressure believing they can match up well with orlando, and then when the time Orlando Blow them out, they just realize, Orlando has big advantage.

Now that this 2 teams know and accept the fact that Orlando has bigger advantage, Then, Atlanta just playing like their in the playground, andd suddenly Shock This Orlando Squad.

Orlando has nothing to prove in this series, they already prove it, it gets boring.

1 win for Atlanta!

I cant even believe this clown used killer instinct and the Lakers in the same sentence..you must not watch much NBA buddy do you? The Lakers probably lack the most killer instinct out of any team in the NBA. Did you not pay attention to the last half of the season..they get up by 20-30 and then just fuck around and dwiddle the lead back to single digits in no time. They have no heart. They may beat everyone in the Playoffs..again...but I do not think they even know what killer instinct means.

Now I have to give my 2cents about the magic. yes I know you hit your ML with the Suns bet. I also tipped my hat off to you when spurs choked in game 3. 

But as Far as Bashing on my Magic...hahahah....Lets see a team that doesn't have the killer instinct beat the dog crap out of a team by 43! 
Last I checked we were the 1st team to sweep. In the NBA I learned if you don't have a bench you  have NOTHING! The magic and the Suns have one of the best bench in NBA. 

Joe Johnson...I think up until these playoffs I think this guy was a hot Target but as I said it b4 he never shows up. I notice where this guy goes ass whoopings Come! He gives up and when hes Off, hes Terrible. Falls in group of Jefferson Frauds!!!! Josh Gay A** Smith I remember going to the clippers game and seeing how strong ATL was then I realize oh yea no ones in front of josh smith tonite so he can look like SuperMan Jr. The Guy a Fraud. He dosent step up when a physical guys in front of him and if anything these stars just help there coach get the boot...Mike Woodson.

Last I checked our backups are good enough to start on a majority of NBA teams..Stan Van Gundy D is one of the most underrated Defense in the NBA. Known for Trapping his star players such as Lebron. Dwade. and Kobe. 

There giving out a Free ML bet tonite and you know who its for, Lakeshow. If  you think ATl wants to go to Orlando and get blown out in a couple days well check again, Fuel Cost money and I doubt those ATL executives have time for there group of boys to get Bashed in Orlando!!! If there was a game 5!!! Just some Thoughts for the MIND. Best of Luck

To the 2 guys above, first I never said anything bad about the Magic, I think they are the best team in the east right now. They are great front runners. When they get up by 9 points or so, Rashard and JJ and VInce are great at getting hot. But, Rashard and Vince especially are classic for folding when in a close game and I think tonight will be close. And as far as the Lakers not having a killer instinct according to you, maybe I should have said is their a team better at winning when they have to over the last 2 years. When the lakers have to win, they win..to me, thats killer instinct. And to LTE, i did not just hit the Suns ML in Game 3, I hit it in Game 4 too, I also hit the Celts ML in Game 2 vs the Cavs and I hit the Lakers ML in game 3. So I have a little more of a track history lately then just 1 big ML win, I have 4 in the last 5 days. And BTW for the record again, i think the Magic are gonna win, but I got in at ATL +285 and I will take a 1/3rd of a unit play on the one of the best home teams in the league with absolutely no pressure on them. Yes, they have mailed it in, but they are not going to miss shots on purpose. They arent going to throw the game. They hopefully will play loosy goosy and back into a win. GL to everyone.

well i lost 1/3rd of a unit, but it was not because the hawks gave up. they at least look like they wanted to play tonight. they are driving and trying. I could not have asked for more. Cant stop the Magic when they are playing like this. Like I said if they were gonna win, the magic had to have an off night and they are not.

well out of all 4 games, this game they did not quit in my opinion. I at least go what I wanted. A chance. If they would have hit some of those drives in the 1st half and Orlando would have an off night, then who knows. Orlando is a great front running team as I had been screaming and they were able to do it again. Nice thing about 3:1 bets, you do not lose much. Congrats Orlando.

They quit well before this game. The only game they played hard in was the 1sr 3 quarters of game 2.

Then the magic quit playing around and blew them out in the 4th.

I agree Josh Smith looked like he quit before the game though.
