Why couldn't the line go to 11 or 12 like it usually is with the Magic and Cavs when they play crap teams?

So easy to like Magic in this situation.  Especially when ATL doesn't really have a quick strike offense.  Can ATL's coach come up with a better game plan?

No way, i totally believe the NBA is like the WWF and is a fixed act, but theres no way the Hawks can win in Orlando. They cant win on the road period, not to mention they are lazy and have NO heart so as soon as they are down 10, they are throwing in the towel.

yea that's not happening... will they cover?  that might be another question... doubtful...

i guess you could make a case that this is the one time in this series you could justify making a bet on the Hawks, but ONLY on the money-line... there's no argument for taking the Hawks ATS in any of the games, and there will be no other opportunity where taking the ML has both the value and the possibility of hitting... this is the only chance Atlanta will have to steal a game on the road...

i do think you have to consider what uconnca said, though... i find it hard to believe the refs are going to do any favors for Atlanta... the NBA will want to have Orlando in the conf finals very badly... if you subscribe to any fix theories, it's hard to like Atlanta coming away with a win...

The only way the Magic lose, is if the League says that they lose.

if you have Magic on your list for tomorrow, i suggest you go for it,, if you chance your mind, i suggest you stay away from this game,, if you pick the Hawks instead,, if the Magic win ,, i suggest you rip your balls off,, how about that??

forget about the 40 pt blowout, that game is in the book
If the Hawks bring their game, they have a shot, but Atlanta's best players are not performing since the start of playoffs...
It s too easy to say Orlando win but i dont think its ideal spot to pick the hawks to win, i will just pass this match on moneyline bet...
i really thought the Celtics was worth a shot at money line +350
Cavs won the first game but they dont play that well now, and Celtics showing they are different team in playoffs.
but Hawks are not playing well now,

Hey gametime, like you said the Hawks got blown out by the Magic in G1, then why would the line for the game be just ORL -9? Shouldn't be at least like ORL -15 or -20, so that it'll make sense?  ORL -9 seems to be just a NO BRAINER... it's like giving money away... would Vegas GIVE MONEY AWAY?!?! IDK it just seems really really fishy... that's all!

I think if dwight plays as well as he did in the first game and stays out of foul trouble, then this game will be a blow out just like the first. Orlando just plays too strong at home and I see them covering the 9 points easily tomorrow.

Exactly my thoughts - I think the original poster was playing a bit of a devil's advocate scenario (and by devil err DEVIL - I mean that POS David @#$# Stern).

This one is WAYYYYYYYY too fishy in my opinion. It has been demonstrated way too many times that the NBA is a fucking b.s. circus show equivalent to snake-charming and WWF, and I can't see oddsmakers giving the public what is essentially a freebie with this line (I mean we are talking 90%+ of Joe Blow Public is all over this play!!)

I obviously don't think there is any way Orlando loses but I would be extremely wary of the -9 line.

BOL

Hawks win straight up. If anyone decides to take them on the moneyline, they will be very pleased with themselves. The boys from Hotlanta will shock the world in O-town tonight.
