Facts:
1. Boston and Orlando were the only two teams to go 3-0
2. OKL, Mil, Chi all won game three at home after losing the first two on the road. 

Opinion:

The NBA will do there best to get these series to 2-1 for the betterment of the league and the owners. I believe the books are baiting you to take DAL, MIA, and CHI tonight.  Now, I know it is going to take discipline but my strategy tonight is to be consistent and take all three teams that are 0-2, going back home with there backs against the wall. I don't know which 2 I will win but I plan on winning 2 of 3.  I can't see the NBA having two of these games go 3-0.  Only flaw is that DAL is a dog so they could still loss yet cover.  Lastly, if you are going to bet INDY or PHI take the ML

Good Luck!

INDY ML
PHI ML
PORT -5.5

betterment of what ? who even cares about these series , except dallas and portland .

and most of those series you shown were alot closer than what we have going.

i cannot go against stats like the ones that you have shared but i have made many mistakes in the past with the thinking you outline above.

In the past 3 years = Total of 24 Series only 5 have started off 3-0

Boston 09-10
Orl 09-10
Cle 08-09
SA 07-08
LAL 07-08
