NBA YTD 9-9 -1.7 units
all plays 1* so far
Playoffs 0-0
This is my first playoff pick. Last year, on picked posted here, I went UNBEATEN 10-0 ATS in the NBA playoffs. Not promising that again, but there's a good spot tonight:
1* Knicks PK
One of my sacred rules that guides my playoff success is to virtually ignore homecourt in the post-season. It used to matter but it hasn't in several years. The Knicks were favored by 6 1/2 in each of the games in New York. There is no reason for the number to shift that much in Atlanta. The Hawks improved dramatically once they rid themselves of the most overrated player in the NBA in 20 years, team-killer Trae Young, but they can't match the Knicks talent. Atlanta won Game 2 by pounding the paint and scoring at will inside. That makes its 49 percent shooting percentage misleading. You see lots of blowouts and huge reversals in the post-season as team motivation radically changes after a loss and losing teams tend to adjust while the team that just won stands pat.
