So, we have a team that hasn't won a NBA championship since they had two of them in the early seventies in the Knicks
And one of them who has NEVER won an NBA championship in the pacers.
I've been watching these games closely and really do feel like the pacers are the better team but are they really after losing to Newyork in Newyork as they did on Thursday?
Did Indiana play a little less motivated and would have rather won their first ever championship at home in front of their hometown fans then on the road in a different arena?
Or did the Knicks play one hell of a good game and definitely outplayed the Pacers from start to finish in an all-out what appeared to be.... a true better performance?
I was originally going to bite the bullet and lay the Pacers MoneyLine -170 because of the threat of a tightly contested matchup is a realm which I feel in this game with the Newyork knicks hanging around and NOT going away easily.
So, I said to myself if I feel the game will belong to the pacers, but Knicks keep it close then why don't I take the Knicks with the points and roll with that?
So with that being said....I will indeed roll with that!
Over Under
Since I know most of you didn't crunch these simple numbers I did it for you and conclude
Five games total points scored both teams 1,158 divided by five = average thru 5 games per game is 231.6
Tonight's game is set near or around 221 and the over appears to be a good play here but seeing the magnitude of this game with both teams in a must win game (Indiana sure doesn't want to go to Newyork for a game seven) but hey, they have won two of three there so let's worry about this one game here first.
I'm expecting a well fought battle here on both sides and I am uncertain how the pace of this game is going to roll from the get-go so the over/under play in this particular game here at least to me is just that .... a crapshoot!
MY one and only play Tonight in game six is finalized and will be:
The Newyork Knicks +4 (-109)
Good luck to all of you players tonight and a special shout out of luck to those that Justliketoplay.
