    I hear ya..I think Im betting it becuase I miss college BB so much..Keep this in mind in a similar game 2 scenario next time.

     

    -Play on the visiting underdog in game two of a series if they were blown out by the home team in game 1 by 20 or more points

    The reasoning behind the play is that the home team, fresh off an easy victory may show up for this 2nd game a bit complacenet while the visitor do not want to get behind 0-2 in the series and should come out with more of a concerted effort

    - The storms will come, the storms will pass -

    Heres a nice little sysyem ive used in the past with the NBA Playoffs about a game one home team that lost str8 up

    Play on the home team in game 2 of a series if they lost game 1 straight up. The reason this play makes so much sense is that the home team, the higher seeded squad has put itself in a situation that if it loses this 2nd game at home, they will be forced to go on the road down 0-2 with not much chance of winning the series and advancing to the next round. Thye may have been surprised by the visitors in the first game, and came out a little flat or maybe a bit overconfidnet. Rest assured though. they "will" be ready to play in game 2. 

     

    Detroit -9.5

     

    The line seems a bit high. However, Orlando was a 6pt dog in the first game and won str8 up..why 9 now. Something fishy about that

     

    Im going to buy it to 8, and see what happens..GLpeace_5
