I know you have bot had much luck with the Clips this year but I think you should consider them tonight as Silver just took a lot of pressure off that team, as they can now focus on the game and the task at hand. In essence, the narrative has been flipped and the team/players are now seen as victims who should be supported rather than jeered.

Three BBB's in one night!? jk, it might be a good play but too many variables in this game for me to account for. Better to just lay off for me

Damn!!!
Hate being opposite you, but your supposition that this being Wall and Beal's 1st game 7, on the road, in Chicago will affect an entire quarter, and in your opinion, the whole game, is guesswork only. I don't doubt it may affect them if it's close down the stretch, and they may lose, but the Wiz are going in confident. If they were going to just fall apart I think it would've been in Game 1, and they did the opposite.
With you on OKC, but gotta take the points here. BOL on your other plays.
Mad respect tho, LC

Like the write-up LC; thank you sir.

C'MON YOU BULLS. They did not get here after an 82-game season to just get waltzed over at home by the young bloods in DC.

This series goes to game 6.

Brooks' philosophy is to get the ball to KD and/or Westbrook and hope for the best, he is a bad coach who was fortunate to receive two young stars in their prime but yet still fails to get it right.

Grizz aren't overly great on the road but in what is now a best-of-3 series, this team is far too resilient to back down and know Game 5 is their best shot at stealing another game in OKC.

Nothing I have seen so far in this series says the Thunder blowout Memphis tonight, only thing to hang your hat on is that Durant and Russell are due to have a big game yet the 'numbers' say they're not.

Could say the Grizz are also due for a complete game especially Z-Bo given his offensive struggles.

Solid work so far, btw but have to disagree tonight.

Exactly what I had on mind ...

I expect this series to go like this:

OKC wins game 5 (Mem covers ATS)

Mem wins game 6 SU and ATS

OKC wins game 7 SU and ATS

GL League!

If you're really watching the was-chi series, you'll know that chi is overmatched offensively. It took them a career game from one of their role players to sneak out a win. Chi may sneak another win, but i doubt it'll be a blow out. Was+5 is my play and sprinkling some on Was ML.

I've watched every game. I posted the Wizards will win this series before game 1 even started when noone gave them a shot. They will get smacked tonight.

Bulls game should go under and OKC should go over if both play the games they want at home. Correct or incorrect?

LC - I thought Washington's inexperience would make them flat for G2. But it didn't. They led at halftime. They trailed in the 4Q but then made a fantastic comeback when they could've thrown in the towel.

What makes you so sure that Washington will be flat for G5? And I understand you've bet on Washington. You bet on them for the Wiz for the series, blah, blah. If I didn't think you'd be objective, I wouldn't bother asking you.

I'm just wondering what makes you so certain they'll be flat for G5.

Definitely post that open 10 teamer when you start it if you don't mind sharing!

I didn't get home in time to reload my 5D account yesterday but did play a 3 teamer with Charlotte, the over, and Dallas that cashed... wish it was still pending with 7 to go though!

Sounds right although I wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis in the 80s tonight

The Wizards have yet to face any pressure so far. Think about it, they were road underdogs in game 1, very few gave them a chance. They won game 1 but again very few were giving them a chance to win game 2 or win the series. Game 3 was there first game as a favorite when they were expected to win and finally felt some pressure. That was there one loss. Game 4 they were slight favorites (-1.5) but in there minds, they were still underdogs because of the Nene suspension. Noone again gave them a chance because Nene was suspended. The Wizards again have felt 0 pressure so far in this series. Now they have a chance to eliminate the Bulls. Wall, Beal, the Coach, they've never been here before.

I'm going with you with Bulls -4 (-108). I also believe their stretch series and win comfortably this game.

I was on the Zards hard Game 3 and still think they would've won before Nene pulled a MWP . Chicago has yet to control the tempo in any of the games. Wizards are pushing the ball and stretching the floor. Thib's teams dont pack it in and I expect them to give maximum effort tonight. Zards are due for a cold shooting night. Im on the under 183 heavy but BOL on the Bulls -4 .

Really have no idea on the OKC Mem game , mushed on the under so many times by OT decided to play the over last game and whadda u know lol. OT again but the under still cashes. I honestly believe Memphis is just a horrendous matchup for OKC and exposes the fact that OKC really has no set offense. Leaning under again. BOL to everyone on their plays

Hey LeagueCapper wats going on brother! I gotta say between you and Scalabrine the NBA forum is in good hands for those who know where to look. Much respect and appreciation for all you do. I wanted to suggest something for tonight. Especially since you are up as am I so the risk/reward is certainly worth it. Anyhow, I was messing around on my account and punched in a ML parlay with the Bulls, Thunder and Warriors for 200. It pays out almost 1300. If we get the Bulls and Thunder we could potentially hedge with LAC in some fashion. What are your thoughts on this?

Pointless, you'd make more money just parlaying Bulls and Thunder if your planning on hedging. When you hedge, you pay juice twice, sometimes more as the juice will be affected against you once you hedge later. Only parlay all 3 if your planning on sticking with it
