Denver covered -7 in Game 1, what makes you think its going to be that incredibly under-valued?

Denver blow teams out at home... just like the Jazz.

Im just playing the over in both games...

Hey fellas, good night. Getting the fat man back for the prior two nights. How about those Bucks guys, amazing upset in the making. I didn't think they had what it takes to win on the road. Atlanta is in some deep shit. They have lost 10 of 11 playoff road games and they are under deep pressure to get it done in front of what is going to be an amazing Milwaukee home crowd tomorrow. Still have not decided what to do but I have the utmost respect for Scott Skiles, I think he deserves coach of the year. The GM of the year was well deserved, the Bucks organization made something out of nothing. Their two best players out and they have overcome despite all obstacles. Denver came through with a desperation victory as suspected. Don't know if they have what it takes to win in SLC with all the Mormon madness. Nevertheless, should be an interesting finish to both series. Capped and ready for Thursday. Will post shortly. Hope you all had a good night.

I ended up teasing the Bucks last night.........It was one of those "Im definately playing Atlanta in a teaser, but when I made the bet I checked the Bucks checkbox"............

Phoenix tonight my friend.......People thinking Portland bounces back at home but I think this series is over. Phoenix went away from the gameplan last time in Portland along with not being able to make a shot...........Portland will need to shoot at a great percentage tonight and that may not even be enough. I know the Blazers will try to slow down the fast break but even if they do I still like the Suns to end this tonight.......Big night for Amarie

For the Dallas game I think it goes down to the wire.........Im feeling Dallas ML and in a teaser +10..........This one goes 7 games, in which I like the Spurs to take it on the road

Some Phoenix +7 and Dallas +10 is looking pretty sweet right now

Thursday throwdown, gonna lay off the PHX@POR game. Going with my gut and saying the Spurs end this baby in 6. "Revenge is the sweetest joy next to getting box" - Tupac Shakur (Hail Mary) One of my favorite songs and lyrics of all time. Double revenge factor, one for game 5 and one for last year. Spurs will exact sweet revenge tonight.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS - 3 (-115) - - - Glad I got this baby early and bought the hook. Would have never expected a 1 point line move. Now 4.5 at both my books. Don't really understand the jump...don't really care. Spurs will get it done at home tonight. I realize the Mavs demolished them in game 5. Everything that could have gone wrong did for the Spurs last game. Pop pretty much called the game in the 3rd. I am certain that if Pop left his players in, the defeat would not have been as one sided as it was. This series has been all about runs and the Spurs could have managed a comeback in the fourth. I think "quitting" on the game was a great strategy implemented by a great coach. He knows how important game 6 is and decided to send a subtle message to his team. No speeches, no motivation, no nothing. Pop understands his players. Shit he has had the same core for almost a decade now. He knows how they will respond regardless of what he says. Game 4 is really what makes me think Dallas has no chance to comeback and win this series. Tim, Tony and Manu went 9-34 and San An still won the game. They got outre-bounded 48-43, they shot a horrible 6-17 from 3 and an even worst 64% from the stripe and still beat the Mavs by 3 points. Their defense has been key to blanketing the Mavs. All of a sudden, after 1 win the Mavs become pompous pricks. Marion was quoted as saying, all we have to do is run against the Spurs. They can't defend the run...ok so why exactly did they win 3 in a row against em? Were the Mavs not trying to run? Granted I think San An has the best half-court defense in the NBA, but I am sure that tape sessions and adjustments will be made in order to contain the break of Dallas. DeJuan Blair averages the most rebounds per minute in the NBA. He is a solid 2nd round pickup and a huge steal in the draft. He is now part of that stellar 7 man rotation and continues to beat all Mavs to loose balls. Brendan Haywood was a factor in his start in game 5 but a bit over-rated in his defense of Duncan. I am sure Duncan can bamboozle him with ease, especially in a game of this caliber. Caron Butler finally came through with the best playoff appearance of his career. I doubt he duplicates that performance tonight. Jefferson and George Hill are excellent role players and will step up to the challenge and assist the big 3 to victory tonight. The Spurs know how to win at home in the playoffs. Especially in big game situations like this. They were one of 2 dynasty teams in the past decade. And the sole dynasty left with their core still intact (Kobe and Shaq's Lakers were the other) Stat stuffing time gentlemen. The Spurs are a staggering 20-6-3 ATS in their last 29 home playoff games as a favorite. They are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 as a home favorite. They are 31-12 SU at home this season including the 2 wins against Dallas. They outscore opponents by 9 at the AT&T Center. They are 8-3-1 ATS on a day's rest and 14-6-1 against the West in their past 21 They also know how to exact that sweet revenge going 7-2 after a SU or ATS defeat and on a 31-11 ATS run at home off a loss of 15 or more points. Dallas is 0-4-1 in their last 5 as a playoff dog. The fact remains that this game comes down to desperation. Understandably many of you think the Mavs are the more obvious desperate team considering the fact that they are on the brink of elimination. Win or go home. However, the San Antonio Spurs do not want to play a game 7 in Dallas, they understand it is now or never, in their minds this is game 7 and they must win. In my opinion a defensively sound, desperate, intelligent and more focused team will be victorious tonight. Spurs end it tonight and advance to the 2nd round.

Sad to see you on the Mavs Bruce. I think San An comes out focused tonight and determined to end this series in San An. I really think this Texas Hold Em ends tonight. Best of luck with your PHX bet buddy. I myself would lean Portland but I have not called that series well at all. Keep killing the books bro.

Glad you are on the Spurs tonight buddy. Best of luck to us both.

yeah, wasn't that an awesome game? I'm not gonna lie, I lost a bit of hope at the end of the 3rd, but damn they didn't give up like most teams typically do. I got my tickets for game 6 today in the mail and let me tell you i'm so fucking stoked!! And you're right this is the most tenacious team we've had in a very long time, thanks to Hamonds and Skiles. Fear the Deer brother!!

Go Spurs!!
