IT'S NBA PLAYOFF TIME ..................2026

Nice to see you dog, good stuff.  Cavs appear to have the Raps number...........

Didn't  take long for both Tatum and Queta to regress. Tatum drops from 32.2 to like 24.5 and Queta drops from 33.3 to 18.8.

More sustainable levels for both players.

Crazy stuff these big dogs winning SU. Yea Wenby hurt plays a role. But 76ers just rolling the Celtics ?!%?

Brown's usage goes to 36.1%. Way to high a usage. His PER is over 27 I think which is still not that good.

Doubtful they can win the title if this continues. 

Will OKC get upset tonight. Awful large ml play there.  Should you bite ?

Of the 10 monster shooting efficiency  teams over 5% they are now 8-2 ATS in their very first playoff game..

And they are a equally impressive 6-1-3 to the under in those games.

Of the 8 teams won ATS all 8 won by 20 pts or more. And all 8 went 6-0-2 to the Under.

5 of the 8 held opps under 90 pts

7 of 8 held opps 92 or under

The last team held opp to 94.

Of the 2 teams failed to win ATS  they held opps to 99 and 109.

It appears it was defense helped these teams win ATS.

of the previous 7 teams won ATS game 1 and played game 2...... 4 of those 7 gave up over 100 pts. A 5th team , OKC last year gave up 99 pts.

5 of the 7 gave up 99 pts or more in game 2.

While game 1 only 2 of the 9 teams gave up 99 pts or more both failed to cover.

Of the teams did cover game 1 not 1 team gave up 99 pts or more.

So game 2 is a big difference from game 1.

Of the 7 game 1 ATS winners with all 7 winning by 20 pts or more, not 1 single team of those 7 won by 20 pts or more in game 2.

One team failed to cover game one did win by 29 pts and hold opp to 81 pts in game 2.

Of the 10 game 1's and the 9 game 2's these monster shooting efficiency  teams are an outstanding  19-1 SU .

BUT The previous 7 teams to WIn ATS  in game 1 are only 4-3 ATS game 2

And 4-3 to the under game 2.

I would not count on OKC to lose this game SU.

But they are not as likely to cover such an inflated line.

Big line adjustment  by the books. Best to go against  these and with my lines on the Suns.....

Play is on the Suns +17.

My lines .................

OKC -14.67 over Suns

Pistons -11.06 over Magic

Pistons off a game 1 SU & ATS losses and my lines on the Pistons.

Play is on the Pistons.

I have a nice ml parlay ........... 1 unit +111

Pistons ml

OKC ml

Celtics ml

Rockets ml

Pistons -8.5 over Magic --- 1.1 units

Suns +17.5  (-115) over OKC --- 1.15 units

Pistons Go Pistons!

Game 2 a different  story so far for OKC.

Suns down 30-29 after the first quarter after being down like 22 pts in 1st quarter of game 1.

And 29 pts equates to 116 pts. Far cry from under 90 pts.

Long way to go but things looking different  right from the start .

@theclaw

Mac ..................

2-0 ATS, won 2 units

Playoffs 4-1 ATS

OKC did exactly as the other big shooting efficiency  teams have done.

Could not match their game 1 defensive play. Gave up over 100 pts and failed to cover while going over not under.

Their offense  scored all most the same pts, 119 to 120 but it was the defense as why they did not cover that big number.

And once again none of the 10 teams could win by 20 pts or more in game 2.

Maybe I can find other spots where these teams are so consistent with how they perform.

Pistons roll as expect. Cade was impressive. 

My Lines ................

Hawks -.06 over Knicks

Raps -3.02 over Cavs

Twolves -2.31 over Nuggets

Game 3's we don't use my lines if series is tied 1-1. Then we back the team to win the series if we have a strong series winner which here we don't not so I'll pass on those 2 games.

Raps down 0-2 and back at home and favored to cover on my lines, play is on the Raps.

Raps +3 over Cavs --- 1.1 units

@theclaw

 Great work wed and always fantastic info.

Umgmu thanks .........

Good luck claw!

1-0 ATS, won 1 unit

Playoffs --- 5-1 ATS, won 3.9 units

Raps couldn't miss there at the end they kept draining 3's.

Game 4 will be interesting to see if Raps get back into this series.

Joker was dreadful, I'd think he bounces back game 4.

I didn't see status of Ant as of yet.

Wow Hawks showing the form of the Pacers from last year. Making the right plays at the right time. 

Game 4 will be key, Hawks need to hold home court if they do  not very likely Knicks come back to win the series.

@theclaw

 nice job 

My Lines. ............

Celtics -4.53 over 76ers

Rockets -6.43 over LA

Spurs -5.3 .......... Ave full season & after the break

With Wemby out I have no clue who's the right side.

Rockets down 0-2 should be the right side .

Is it possible LA better without Doncic and Auston ?

I doubt it very much. I'll wait out the line see if it moves down a bit more then decide how to play this game.

If the Rockets cannot play well here in this spot my goodness they are terrible as a team with no leadership nothing to see with them.

Assuming KD plays.

Then All this stuff about KD his burner accounts bad mouthing teammates we can truly see why this guy has not won titles without going to an already championship team that had great chemistry and leadership qualities already established within the team.

Game 3's with series  tied 1-1 we don't use my lines we back the team to win the series if the info supports it.

Clearly  Celtics should win this series, play is on the Celtics.

I'd expect the Celtics to bounce back after both Tatum and Queta regressed back to more sustainable levels in the game 2 loss.

Celtics -7 over 76ers --- 1.1 units

Pending ML parlay ........... 1 unit (+111)

Pistons game 2 ........ win

OKC game 2 ......... win

Celtics game 3

Rockets game 3

@theclaw

 Nice hit with TOR.  Congratulations and continued good luck.

Thank you dog ...............

With KD out I only sit with my 4 team ML parlay.

Rockets should be able to get a win, maybe ?!%#?

Celtics up 7 at half.

Tomorrow  I'll have some pretty cool info on the 5% shooting efficiency  monsters after their big blowout game 1 wins.
