    MY LINES................................

    Spurs -6.5 over OKC

    If the line closes 7.5 or better we back OKC but if not we lean Spurs.

    Cavs -5.94 over Hawks

    Warriors - 14.56 over Blazers


    ROUND TWO......................................


    AVE of all 5 KEY STAT BATTLES..........................................

    Spurs by 1.17 over OKC
    Warriors by 5.43 over Blazers
    Cavs by .39 over Hawks

    The closest matchup this round is Cavs/Hawks.

    Possible upset ? The info suggest Hawks have a chance to keep this series close .

    The info suggested this last season and was dead wrong, however, I've seen many times this same thing and the next year the info is spot-on.

    The big difference this season from last is, last season Cavs one of the hottest teams from all-star break while Hawks one of coldest.

    This season Hawks come into playoffs one of the hottest since break while Cavs are about the same before or after the break.

    Big, big difference from last season.

    And last year gave the Hawks some experience deep in the playoffs.

    With the line at 7.5 we have a play on Hawks , Hawks may just get one of the 1st 2 games SU.



    LARGEST MISMATCH TEAMS.................................

    We have 2 largest mismatch teams if Heat win game 7.

    Warriors and Heat.

    I'll be working all day today but should be home well before game time, but our official play is OKC with a line 7.5 or higher and under 7.5 we lean Spurs.

    And Spurs to win the series.

    I would give OKC a good chance to win game 1 or 2 SU. History would side more likely game 2 and especially true if Spurs win game 1 big.

    There have been 17.... 65 game winners in history, the first time there's been 2 in the same year.

    14 of the 65 game winners won the title (82.4%)

    There have been 12..... 65 game winners out-shoot their opponents in the most important stat with the highest correlation to winning and highest prediction value going forward FG % by 3.5 % or better, 11 of the 12 teams won the title (91.7%).

    The lone loser...................yep it's LBJ and his 2009 Cavs .
    And he almost did it a 2cd time with the 2013 Heat.

    The other 2 65 game winners failing to win title 73 Celtics 1.4% FG % diff, the worst of all 65 game winners and 2007 Mavs 2% FG % the 2cd worst and losing in the opening round.

    Far majority of teams that win the title are 2.5% or better and the 2...65 game winners could not equal the ave champion let-alone the stronger 65 game winners.

    The info tells us the importance of good ole FG % differential.

    Teams who excell will go far teams that don't won't get very far.

    Warriors 5.8%, best in the league
    Spurs 4.8%, 2cd best.
    OKC 3.8%
    Heat 2.8%
    Hawks 2.6%
    Cavs 1.2%
    Pacers 1%
    Raptors .7%
    Blazers (-.3)
    Hornets (-.5%)


    Want to know why the Raptors fail year after year, well there's your answer, same story as last year, untill they up their game in this key area don't count on this team making the finals.

    Cavs 1.2 % is not very impressive for the talent they have.
    They were 1.3 % at the all-star break and finished the season slightly worse at 1.2%.

    This is not what NBA Champions are made of.

    Far majority of teams that win the title are 2.5% or better and the 2...65 game winners could not equal the ave champion let-alone the stronger 65 game winners.

    The info tells us the importance of good ole FG % differential.

    Teams who excell will go far teams that don't won't get very far.

    Warriors 5.8%, best in the league
    Spurs 4.8%, 2cd best.
    OKC 3.8%
    Heat 2.8%
    Hawks 2.6%
    Cavs 1.2%
    Pacers 1%
    Raptors .7%
    Blazers (-.3)
    Hornets (-.5%)


    Want to know why the Raptors fail year after year, well there's your answer, same story as last year, untill they up their game in this key area don't count on this team making the finals.

    Cavs 1.2 % is not very impressive for the talent they have.
    They were 1.3 % at the all-star break and finished the season slightly worse at 1.2%.

    This is not what NBA Champions are made of.

    Don't be surprised when historically great teams do historically great things in the playoffs.

    The public will likely over-react to game 1 and drive this line up, in which case we'd be on OKC , possible SU win for the Thunder.

    Aldridge and Lenoard combined to shoot almost 78% with all the starters shooting almost 72%, doubtful that will happen again all playoffs.

    But when a team shoots like this they will obviously win big. Yep, that's good ole reliable FG %.

    leans 1-0...........now 8-1 in the playoffs.

    we'll be on the Heat once again today, have a few things to do this morning and will get back after I have a chance to go over all the games.

    We need the Heat to win SU to cash our 2 team series parlay on Heat and Hawks.

    The public backing Pacers and driving the line down to 5.5 , we need 5 or less for a play on Raptors.

    Based on history the way this sereies has playout, the home team should win the series, I'd definately lean Raptors SU and if line keeps dropping with public coming in on Pacers would be confident Raptors get the cover as well.

    Hi, theclaw ! Nice win with SAS pick. What do you think about MIA-CHA game? MIA -6.5 isn't it too high for a crucial game for both teams?

    MY LINES............................

    Heat -5.32 over Hornets
    Raptors -6.19 over Pacers

    Warriors -14.56 over Blazers

    Warriors line opened -7.5, is Curry worth 7 points ?

     Not likely but now  it's   bet  up to -9.5.  Is Curry worth 5 p;ts, possibly, I'd pass with this line.

    Warriors being a largest mismatch team but that's with Curry in the line-up. Maybe not without Curry.

    Warriors not a good spot, I would not play Warriors here. We'll find better spots down the road.  If Warriors do win big may be time to fade them next game.

    Lean Raptors ML and will make a play if line drops to Raptors -5.

    We keep riding the Heat...........................

    Heat -6 over Hornets --- 3.3 units to win 3 units

    How many points is home field advantage worth in the playoffs? I'd take Raptors up to -8 I think.

    AVE ALL 5 KEY STAT BATTLES.........................................

    Spurs by 1.17
    GS by 5.43
    Cavs by .39
    Heat by .45


    Heat are the first road team to be better on ave in all 5 key stat battles but the Raptors are better in 3 of the 5, Heat bigger in the 2 they win.

    The info suggests, A toss-up who wins.

    Of the big favs this round Cavs/Hawks the closest match-up.

    Hawks coming off last year's beatdown by Cavs will be hungry and ready, does not mean they win the series but could hang in much better then people think and might be right there at the end with a chance.

    The info suggest Hawks have a good shot to win game 1 or 2 SU.

    MY LINES...............................................

    Cavs -5.94  over Hawks

    We need Hawks +7 or better for a play  for 3 units and would lean Hawks ML.

    Thanks Claw. Really appreciate your write-ups and thoughts. have enjoyed following (and making some $) throughout the playoffs so far. 

    Looking back on historical, in 2014, Spurs destroyed Thunder in Game 1 & Game 2 (covered easily) ... with both teams being fairly similar, I wonder this will be similar.

    I think any number less than 8 throughout the series is a must play on Hawks based on 2015.

    I would LEAN Hawks and OKC ML's

    And Hawks and OKC ML's 1ST HALF.

    Now if you want to get a bit risky, you could parlay Hawks, OKC ML on game and another parlay on the 1st half for a small amount like half a unit or so.

    You could also mix Hawks 1st half with OK game
    OKC 1st half with Hawks game.

    This covers every angle.

    Now here's the beauty, if Hawks fail to win SU in either 1st half or game you then make the same exact parlay with OKC and Hawks game 2.

    You have 2 chances with the Hawks, and based on the spot it works-out perfect as OKC is in the better spot with only 1 chance.

    I will definately lean playing this.


    We can hit these every now and again, but obviously it's not something we can hit quite often so make it a very small play.


    We could also make the exact same parlays on the line instead of ML, and do the same if Hawks lose either 1st half or game, playing it this way has a very good chance to hit.

    There almost certainly will be some shockers coming this week, I'd be very careful throwing down big money on these favs  who've been pounding teams as though they can never lose.

    But looking around the site that seems to be what many believe.

    Many of the people who made money to this point are likely to get slammed in the next few days....................
