I'm just saying the second half of the game was a completely different story because of the adjustments made by MEM.
I see value...

Anyone giving up on MEM? They are currently +375 (@ Station) for the series. Now would be the time to buy in.
My thoughts on last night's game: I liked the adjustments made by Hollins in his rotations. I believe he found something by not playing Prince and instead inserting Pondexter. By doing this SAS couldn't double on every play and had to actually respect Pondexter's offensive game. Also, inserting Bayless instead of Dooling to play the backup pg was a nice adjustment. Not saying it's going to be easy or close to a sure thing that MEM wins the series, but it's all about the adjustments made game to game. I think MEM has found something, more balance in their lineup between defense and offense. With that said, I'm gonna make a play on MEM +375, not supremely confident but I see value. What is everyone's thoughts? Also, anyone know the current price at LVH for this series? Thanks and GL everyone.

Still don't know who I'm gonna pick to win this series. I am currently holding a $100 8/1 MEM WCF ticket and a $12.50 15/1 MEM WCF ticket (don't ask on the $12.50 ticket, was walking out of the casino buzzed and that's all I had in my pocket).
So, not sure who I will be taking. Been riding MEM all playoffs, even got them at +460 down two against LAC. This series scares me though. It's only a $100 futures ticket, so I may just ride the MEM pony till she dies and not hedge at all and end up taking MEM.

Yeah so far, on my Station Casino phone betting app, they have +115/-135. Station usually has the worst future odds.
For daily lines, I'm fine with using the app rather than going to the casino. But, with future odds, its best to do your HW and shop around a bit. Additionally, vegasinsider.com usually just goes off LVH for futures betting, so I was just going to use their current "to win the WCF" futures odds, but it looks like they now reference sportsbook.ag instead of LVH for those odds. LVH seems to have the best futures odds, most of the time.

Does anyone know where to find comparisons of series prices online, preferably for LVH or for other casinos in Las Vegas? Don't want to make a trips to multiple casinos. vegasinsider.com does not have the series prices listed.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

All the pieces are in place, Leonard and Green fit in perfect and can guard the other team's best perimeter players. Splitter will be huge in the series in guarding Randolph. Sounds as if someone watched First Take this morning.

Kind of worried about the fact that everyone on this site is taking the SAS tonight. Are we all overreacting to the result of the previous game? Could be a covers blood bath...
Hoping Joey Crawford turns this game in to a personal vendetta against the SAS. Curry gets treatment for his ankle prior to the game, which he didn't get before last game (no confirmation of that, just a hope). Thompson having a better game, along with Bogut coming up big is the recipe for a win. With that said I'm taking GSW ML, but not very confident about it. GL to all.

Does anyone know when LVH will be posting their series prices, the games start tomorrow?
I see that thegreek.com has already released SAS/GSW.

There will be great value on Memphis to win series after their loss tonight

There is a lot of value in Memphis winning the series, it doesn't begin until someone loses a game at home. This series is a toss up and we are gonna be able to get it at +4XX, hopefully. I will definitely be making a trip to LVH tomorrow to throw some down on this series. Grizz showed a lot more promise in their overall game than LAC. Of course, if you want to take LAC and Thunder in WCF, I'm willing to give you 200/1 odds on that.

GSW 1H when they are keeping it close, then take Denver with a more advantageous point spread due to the altitude and the fatigue associated with it. Assuming GSW runs out of juice in the second half due to the altitude. GL either way, just my initial lean, nothing set in stone.

He is a joke. It's obvious he does 0 research prior to the games. Night and day to the insight that JVG provides.
Of course, there is worse... LAC announcer. Want to shoot myself every time I hear "Oh me, oh my".
Miami announcers are horrible as well; over-excitement, sucking the heat off, etc. |

Memphis will slow the pace down, forcing LAC to play in half court sets.
Since it's all about match-ups in the playoffs, there is one glaring match-up that I see Memphis exploiting, the two guard. LAC does not have a true two guard and Billups will most likely be starting in that spot for them. This means that defensive specialist Tony Allen could be put on Chris Paul and Conley would be matched up against Billups. Not quite sure how Memphis will match-up their guards defensively, but that match-up could be advantageous for them. Also, in general, Memphis' perimeter defense is great. Prince and Allen will throw LAC off their game. And as previously mentioned, this game will slow down, no more lob city. As Barkley has said, Clippers are "Fool's Gold". But GL either way. I like the Knicks pick...

I like Memphis over LAC. As Barkley has said, this LAC is fool's gold. Memphis will be able to grind out four wins against LAC once this becomes a half court game.

I see value in NYK 25/1. Sure Miami will probably win, but if you look at past results in the playoffs, Miami almost lost to Indiana last year.
It's a value play...at the same time NYK were 25/1, Chicago was 15/1. Again, I see Miami winning it all, but if one team has a chance to beat them it's NYK. Because of this I took a flier on NYK...

@nooob I totally agree with you that this team is better than the one two years ago. Bench is very good, Birdman was a HUGE pickup for them. But the blueprint is there - and if any team can do it, I would have to choose the NYK.

I could see the NYK giving them trouble.
They are built similar to the Mavericks from two years ago. -Chandler and Kidd on the roster, don't underestimate their leadership; there is a reason Kidd left to join Chandler in NY. -Melo and Dirk's game are very similar, offensively focused. -JR Smith very similar to the volume shooting JET provided. -Felton can penetrate the lane similarly to Barea. -Surrounded by 3 point shooters. Only thing they are lacking is a perimeter defensive presence to at least bother Wade and Lebron. Matrix and D. Stevenson were able to accomplish this task for the Mavs. In short, NYK are a kind of Mavs re-tread. Just my two cents. I placed a future bet on NYK when they were 9/1 and also more recently at 25/1.

Thoughts on...
Poulter 45/1 Rose 20/1 I believe Poulter is down to 20/1 now. Rose also started at 25/1 Thanks in advance for your comments.
