Atlanta -8.5 +100 risking 9 units

Nope.

Yes, I would, but if I do, the 2010 Smeltics will come out and play like the 2008 Celtics.  There's nothing I can do about that.

The Celtics just aren't the Celtics of 2 years ago. Ray Allen will most likely guard Wade and has been abysmal in the playoffs, and I mean horrible. Perk will get into foul trouble. The wildcard will be Tony Allen because he can guard and will play Wade tough. The Celts also have issues with Beasley and don't be surprised to see him have a better than normal series. Umbuto is dead....died 2 years ago. 

I'm sorry to hear about Umboto.  Was he a friend of yours?

Hawks cover.  And, the Hawks SUCK.  How disgusting that was to watch my 8.5-point favorite play "kill the clock" for almost the entire second half!

Way to get lazy and give the Bucks oodles of confidence from here on out.  Go Bucks! 

I don't.  I feel lucky to be 1-1 today.  I'm going to take my current breakeven situation and savor it.

Good win for us man.

My plan up until this morning was to split my bet on the Hawks between the first half and the game.  But then I got nervous that with my horrible luck, the Hawks would fail to cover the first half and then go on to blow the Bucks out.  So instead they blew the Bucks out in the first half and then tried their best to get hugely backdoored.  Meanwhile, I watched the whole thing unfold while I braced for another disgusting loss.  Even in victory I feel like I screwed up again. 

By the way, today was the start of Atlanta's fourth playoff series in the last three years.  They have now easily covered the first half line in their first home game of each series.  It's something to keep in mind should they advance to play Orlando or Charlotte.

I understand the Bulls weren't up against quality competition in those six games I listed, but look what they did to those teams.  They outscored them by an average of 10 points per half.  And today they were getting 6.5 points.  I thought that was more than enough room for error.  I was wrong.  The Cavs put them (and me) in their place.

I changed my mind, Mcmanus.  I'm getting involved in the Jazz/Nuggets game after all.  I'm on Utah +6.5 -110 and +5.5 +105.  I'm looking for some moneyline action right now.
