You can expect to get a lot of backlash from the Covers community for this pick. It has been ordained by Covers that Clippers are a bunch of wimpy losers that fold in the playoffs while the Spurs just get better with age, they can do no wrong.
I thought Clippers +155 had value before the series started and put a modest wager on it. I would not touch Clippers -125 though. Game 2 will likely be make or break for this series. I'm pretty positive Spurs had game 2 circled on their 'must win' list from the get go. If (big if) Clippers can survive game 2 against what will be the Spurs best effort, I will feel decently confident with my bet. Still might hedge it out though if I can get Spurs +200 (or better) if they go down 0-2. I want to see how Tony Parker plays in game 2.
Last year was last year dude
I wont have any backlash (or love) cause its goin to WIN
I have seen enough from these 2 teams past few months to recognize an talent edge (clips are much improved and spurs are regressing) and the line is a fantasy joe public gift for anyone that knows ball.
I expect much of the same for g2 and retirement for some spurs in a week!!
