    0-2 ATS lost 2.2 units

     

    bummer losing that Knicks game.

    Nuggets continue with strong play, much better then how they rate for the year.  I still don't think they are this good. Maybe having one great player in Joker and playing all these weak teams that one great player is enough.

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

     

    Warriors -5.44 over LA

    Suns -5.52 over Nuggets

    76ers-2.45 over Celtics

    Knicks -.54 over Heat

     

    I'd expect the Warriors to win SU, if they do they could also cover but with my line leaning LA I'll pass.

    Suns down 0-2 and back at home with my line on the Suns even with KD playing in only 8 games, I think it's aalllll Suns game 3.

    Game 3 with series tied 1-1 we back the team to win series, that'd be the Celtics. Coming off a big blowout win is not a bad spot if it is only 1 ATS win , play is on the C's.

    Series tied 1-1 we back the team to win the series, and Knicks clearly the play according to my lines, play is on the Knicks.

     

    Suns -3.5 over Nuggets --- 1.1 units

    Celtics -1.5 over 76ers --- 1.1

    Knicks +3 over Heat --- 1.1 units

     

    pending play .......................... 

    2 team ML Parlay ..................... Celtics & Warriors -114 --- 1.14 units

     

    we need a win in the worst way, hopefully we go on a little run, haven't had one yet but if we stay with the info things should go our way at some point.

    3-0, won 3 units

    losing that Knicks game by half a pt really hurts with this 3 game run, could have been 4 games, just what we needed at this point. Hopefully the Knicks do it today.

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

     

    Knicks -.54 over Heat

    Lakers -2.56 over Warriors

     

    game 3's with series tied 1-1 we back the team to win the series if we have a clear series winner. Knicks would be the choice, LA has a very good shot to win the series but according to the info LA is not a clear a choice. LA has played far better after making some trades but how much better is not known with the info. I think LA is the right play today but will pass on the game and ride with my LA to win the series ticket.

    pending play ..........................

    Knicks +3 over Heat --- 1.1 units

    looks like I didn't get the best number, up to +4.5. Most likely Knicks win this game SU if they are to win the series but I'd still rather have the +4.5 as insurance if the info is wrong and with the way Heat having been playing better then the regular season PR's gave them credit for, but at the end of the day I feel Knicks and the info will eventually be proven the correct play.

    0-1, lost 1.1 units

     

    boy oh boy, I just can't get on the right side in Knicks games. The Heat have turned up the heat in the playoffs, they are playing way better then they did regular season which does happen but the key is to identify this and stop making plays in their games. Going to be tough for me to determine the value of the Heat from here on out. 

    The Knicks can win game 4, don't see how they could play any worse, they only need a split in games 3 and 4 to get back home court. I think the Knicks play better and it'll be a close game but at this point just not sure how good this Heat team is.

    LA rolls big-time over Warriors, if LA is to win this series they hold home court and go up 3-1 which I think they will.

    Miami aren't the same reg season or 8th seed team. You're seeing the #1 seed from last season. Their defense is back & offense is clicking. The team has a lot of experience including Spo who's simply out coaching everybody right now. Knicks may win one more at most but i'd back Heat form here on out until this series is over.

    MY LINES ................................................sunday

     

    76ers -2.45 over Celtics

    Suns -1.52 over Nuggets

     

    Celtics off 2 ATS wins including a 34 pt blow-out win and then a 12 pt win, not the best of spots for the Celtics, it's tough to win back-to-back road games even games 3 & 4 "IF" the home team in games 3 & 4 is a good quality team, 76ers shooting efficiency they out-shot opps by 2.65%, Celtics 3.05%, 76ers not that far behind, anything over 2.5% is historical championship caliber and with teams playing better at home especially role players 76ers are a good quality team and with my line clearly on the 76ers the play is on the 76ers.

    Suns with KD playing only 8 games line would favor Nuggets but had KD played in 65 games would line still favor Nuggets ? not very likely. With KD, Suns should be the play but the thing about looking at it like this is with KD playing only 8 games and then out for extended period the team does not really build good overall team chemistry, it takes time to do this with a new player so because of this I'll pass on this game. If Suns are to come-back and win this series they need to hold home court and tie things up 2-2. I think they can do it but looking how Booker was unconscious in game 3 in order for Suns to win doubt he can play like that again, KD will shoot better for sure but will he go 14 of 16 on FT's ?  both these players have to score well to win, they can do it but I suspect a very close game coming  where either team could win.

    I'll pass on game 4 and sit on my Suns to win series ticket.

    looking at game 3 Knicks played terrible, they couldn't make a 3 but kept chucking them up, they shot 3's way to early in the shot clock, not getting into any off flow, just chuck up a 3,  they gave-up to many off rebs, foolish TO's, maybe they felt some pressure especially with the Heat out-playing them, some self-doubt maybe crept-in, I don't see how Knicks won't play better but not sure they win even if they do. 

    If the Heat are going to win series they should hold home court and win game 4, maybe Knicks can get the cover in a close game but for me I don't know what value to put on this Heat team.

    I'd think Celtics should beat Heat next round if that is the match-up, but how much of a favorite Celtics should be, I don't have a clue.

    good call on Philly. If Boston applies themselves on defense it seems they are the much better team

    1-0, won 1 unit

    hey now on a 4-1 run. we got a little something going.

     

    Surprising the MVP got stuffed by Horford and the Celtics defense down the stretch in that game 4 with the game on the line, he could do nothing, couple of blocked shots, off foul, he did get 1 turn-around jumper over Horford and a pair of FT's but that was about it. They want to bring him out high and have him dribble and try to penetrate which to me is crazy, he don't have that kind of handle, post him up but they don't. He does have a nice outside shot but he couldn't get it off.

    But 76ers survive despite the MVP.

    Wow, Booker was insane again, crazy, he is in a zone, 14 of 18, and KD 11 of 19 and 12 of 13 from the line with numbers like that you'd expect a easy win but nope, down to the wire, that's what the Suns need from those two to just get a close win, don't see how Booker can keep this up much longer. Suns defense is terrible, they don't look like they could stop a good high school team.

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

    Knicks -.54 over Heat

    LA -2.56 over Warriors

    Knicks need a win to keep their season alive, a loss here and not likely they can come back to win series. Knicks off a 86 pt performance, terrible offensive performance for the Knicks. Their lowest pt total of the playoffs, they've scored over 100 every game but 2 others and one of those was 99 the other 90. After the 90 pt game and a 17 pt loss they responded with a 99 pt game and a 20 pt win. I think the Knicks respond again and get the SU win but will pass on the game a ride my Knicks to win the series plays.

    LA up 2-1 and off a big blow-out 30 win, off 1 big win is not a bad spot, LA needs to hold home court, and with all the talk how Warriors have the record of 28 straight series with a road win, well if we are hearing it so are the Lakers, this kind of stuff really motivates pro athletes to break that streak, they live for this kind of stuff and with my line almost on the actual line even though the Lakers are so much improved with the new line-up, you get the better team in a spot they need to win with a chance to end an incredible streak, now what do you think is going to happen ?   It's aalllll Lakers tonight.

    The spot is just too good to pass up.
