This one could go 7 guys. I watched the last game in Boston and yeah the C's wore the Hawks down eventually, but even in the third quarter the Hawks were still scrapping together a run and even had it close. There were plenty of times where it looked like the C's were having trouble getting around ATL's defense and there were plenty of times where it looked like ATL could cut the C's defense up. One of the biggest reasons it went for a C's victory is that ATL made a lot of mistakes and missed a lot of open looks, two things that they tend to correct with a little of that home cooking. These guys feed off the energy of the home crowd and home/road splits like these have been a staple of the hawks season: constantly underperforming on the road and overperforming at home.
They have a boatload of talent and athleticism and even had the ability to captilize on the C's defensive schemes in game 5. Boston's strategy was to constantly double up on joe johnson and then scramble around and make plays on D. In atlanta, the difference will be that those other role players on the hawks will make the open looks when johnson finds them off the double team. Josh Smith and Al Horford also will play miles better at home and the team as a whole will make a lot more shots a lot less mistakes and get frusterated a LOT less by the officiating. The C's could still pull this one out, but they sure as hell won't cover the number.
ATL +8 (BIG) ATL ML (small play) Over 189 ATL total points Ov (?)
this is probably the last time I will have to play on my meal ticket (ATL) and so I'm going big on this game and coming from a few different angles.

At first blush, I think I will be taking Boston Again. They know they can put Atlanta to sleep if they want to. I guess it just depends on what the Network Money wants them to do. But I say, it's lights out in Atlanta tomorrow by 12 to 15

Well, it might not be as easy as DET tonight.....BUT
I figure BOS -6 (Same as Pistons), NOW.....
1. Big 3 (-7) 2. Celtics D (-8) 3. I really think BOS will see the DET game tonight and be even more encouraged to finish the series with a bang (-9) 4. ATL isn't as tough a place to play as PHILLY (-10) 5. My gut feeling-Celts big
BOS wins this by at least 15. Maybe more, b/c i figured the Pistons would win tonight by 12-15, and we all know how that shaped up!

The Hawks can beat anyone at home. Ask Kobe, KG, Howard, Iverson, Nash, and Noviski, and Boozer. What do all of these cats have in common???? They are all playoff teams that lost at Phillips arena this year.

hate to say it man, but you're dead wrong here... that town is a LOT hungrier than Philly for some playoff basketball and that arena gets WAY louder... not to mention that ATL has a LOT more talent and athleticism than philly and vets like bibby and joe johnson will lead the team at home.

glad someone sees what I'm talking about... don't trip though Kong, they'll keep that line nice and padded for us and that means more ML money. Honestly I watched game 5 and it was the most misleading blowout imaginable... Vegas is salivating for action on this game.

If you take a look at the score board for Game4 and 5, Detroit had a huge 1st and 3rd quarter, outscored anywhere from 6 to 18pts in one quater. 2nd and 4th quaters were pretty tight both ways.
I see detroit will again have two huge quarters in Game6, and detroit to win by double digits.
Detroit -5 for me.
1st Q. det 1unit...winner
1hf det 1unit...winner
1hf ov...1unit ...loser
3rd Q. det 1unit...winner
det -5...3units...winner
Detroit,PHillie series made me huge profits..(wish i didnt play much of Spurs/Phoenix series..)
Congrats for detroit backers..
now that style and CK's gone from covers...at least for now...tell me anyone if you are feelin it...
i am finally on a roll..after the long drought (of course with style's huge help...)
Anyone else feelin it? ( I personallly think betting on sports like playing baccrat...go with the guy on hot streak)
i 'll be back a little later with my picks for tomorrow
Good luck all....and Pleeeeassssee respond if you've been hot lately....thnx...

Don't do it wang!!! I might know the C's better than anyone else on here, as I have watched them throughout the season, and the past seasons, and I can get a pretty damn good feel for them. The first time down in Atlanta was a learning experience for the Celtics. They figured out that they can easily whoop their ass and run them out of the building (see 16-3 start to Game 4), but they have to keep up that intensity throughout the game, as they don't just go away like the Sixers did in their series.
What the Celtics are doing now is focusing on the defensive end, something that they abandoned in Games 3 and 4. They played too quick, and they fell into the Hawks game plan. It was really easy to see, as they were taking quick shots, and not helping out on Johnson and Smith, allowing them to go wherever they wanted. This game will be exactly like the Pistons/Sixers game tonight. The Celtics will jump on them early with aggressive defense and fast break points, and keep up the defensive intensity. They got caught up in the moment the first time in Hotlanta, they won't let it happen again.
Boston -8 Under 189
Prediction: Boston 102 Atlanta 83

Let's hope that they get some damn officials that know how to call the game of basketball for this one!! The Celtics got screwed out of so many calls, and have been the entire series. I know the NBA wants the series to be close and all, but come on....anytime a team has twice as many free throws as the other team on a nightly basis, but is driving to the hoop about 1/2 the time, something is fishy. I can think of at least 3 or 4 charging calls, and several "reach-in" fouls that were called on the Celtics that were absolutely bogus. The refs fucked up the flagrant foul on Garnett, then made a crappy make-up call on the other end. So I'm not just complaining saying only the C's are getting screwed, it has just been a terribly officiated series right from the start. Plus the fact that the tape that was sent to the league office about Paul Pierce's gang signs was a crock of shit. Amazingly it was sent by a Hawks official, not the NBA itself. Even more amazingly, it somehow omitted Al Horford standing over Pierce taunting him and pointing his finger at him all the way down the court. During Game 3, the announcer for the Hawks was in charge of an airhorn that was used to signify the shot clock, end of quarter, and other fouls....seems like that's on the questionable side of things as well.
Just had to vent a little bit. One of the more poorly officiated series' in recent memory. For both sides.

BOSTON won 3 games at home by avg. 22pts....with that said...they easily know that if it was to come down to game 7,what the outcome would be....but i dont even see atl reaching a game 7.....i congratulate ATL's efforts the last two games at home....but dont be ridiculous and think it will happen again....
boston will be more mentally prepared in this game which will be the difference maker....those last two losses in atl will serve as nothing more than a wake up call for boston who has yet to win a road game in the playoffs.....as pierce said "we want this win in atl, more than we wanted to win game 5 at home......this game is personal, and will boost our confidence knowing that we can win on the road".....
As a side bar, Game 5 witnessed another plethora of fouls and infractions (41 fouls, three technical and one flagrant). While it might be trivial, it’s still worth pointing out that this series has produced 224 fouls, five technical fouls and one flagrant. That’s 44.8 fouls per game.The ‘over’ has gone 8-1 in Atlanta’s last nine game at home, while a 2-6 ATS record in the Hawks last eight overall have placed a poor taste in bettors’ mouths.

Nightrida, I just wanted to comment on what an excellent job youve done. I obviously dont postmuch due to all the drama that goes on(props to CK/Style tho), but have found your analysis for your wagers very insightful and,more importantly...profitable. Thanks.
Bos-8...although I think it may be closer than I'd like by the time the buzzer goes off.
