San Antonio-2

I like the way that San Antonio is being overlooked right now. They are still the defending champions. The Pacers are not that good. They take too many ill advised shots to compete with San Antonio 

I would back away from a play on San Antonio here because they have not covered in Indiana since about this time 5 years ago. The home team simply owns this series and i think that will continue today. So I will most likely be waiting for this line to get up to 4 or 5 (possibly) and backing Indiana. The Pacers will put up at least 100 points just like they did their last 6 home games. While, San Antonio could take a break here as they are heading east midway thru a painful 10 game road trip that will see them play 3 games in the next 4 nights. Coming off a surprise win in Phoenix, San Antonio probably will decide they do not want to run and tire themselves out with Indiana and save their energy for a road trip that will include games against some more physical eastern opponents. Mark my words San Antonio will let Indiana have this game and then try to make a run late in the game. Indiana will use this oppurtunity to try and get a much needed win as before O'neal went down they looked like an 8th seed in the East.

gringopelon,

why are you fading the heavyweights, if they helped you win money the night before? the intelligent wagerer follows the advice of the heavyweights, and then studies the game for him/herself to see why the heavyweight made the decision that they did. Kong is giving you sound advice.

You said that you weren't having that much good luck. Well Kong is. I suggest you follow his lead and start to make money intead of dreaming about getting paid. He's a sound wagerer. If he says San Antonio, then San Antonio it is.

Good luck anyway which ever path you choose.

But then again they´re going against the defending champs with arguably the best power foward/center  this decade and locksmith defense.

 

 Kong you had changed my mind yesterday from Dallas to taking the Mavs. I won my parlay yesterday Mavs +4.5, Rockets -5 & Bulls -1 because of your SUCKER bet comment.

 Do I roll with the hand that helped feed me tonight or go against the sage ?

I'm glad you won your parlay Gringo...that's awesome!!! 

Thanks for the praise CK.....

I have a good feeling SA has turned the corner and the fading should stop now.  I am comparing this game to a Detroit-Indiana game.  SA plays lights out smothering D, just like Det.  We all know how often Indiana gets bitch slapped by Detroit.  They will keep this game close, but I feel the undisciplined play style of Indiana will kill them in this game.  SA will come in focused and looking to make a run towards the play-offs.  I was one of the biggest SA rippers over the last two weeks.  When they manned up and beat PHO,(As CK predicted), It made me realize that this team has the ability to be who they once were. 

Homies, it starts tonight in Indiana.  GL

SPURS......buy a couple for insurance if you want.
