NBA Playoffs - Round One

51-40 To end the 2nd half of the season.

240-211-8 To end the regular season.


The Playoffs Are Here!!! Let's get it poppin'


Pick:

DET/CLE UNDER 175

The UNDER is 8-2 in the last 10 games. UNDER is 29-6 in the last 35 meetings. UNDER is 18-5 in the last 23 meetings in Cleveland. Last 5 games they averaged 168.4 ppg. Cleveland number 1 team in scoring Defense something like 91ppg. At home the UNDER is 16-24-1 for the season. Detroit away games UNDER is 19-21-1. UNDER for the season for Cleveland is 36-45-1 & 39-41-2 for Detroit.

This is the playoffs, Both squads do what they do best and that's play Defense to win this game. As the series progresses the two teams will adjust more to each other and the scores will get higher but at the moment they will feel each other out in a back and forth, grind out sort of game.

MIA/ATL UNDER 186

Good Luck to you also Tonk

bol

......gl w/ ur plays

GL to you also BKS!

These low totals seem to have been money when backing the UNDER this season. Vegas sets them low knowing the game will be very low scoring so i like this spot for the Under once more.

Cavs stated they know Detroit have vets who are thoroughly battle tested & to not sleep on this team adding though they come into the playoffs in 8th seed the playoffs is totally different to reg season and all teams are 0-0. Detroit are still a dangerous team who play good Defense and Cavs know Defense is the key to shut down this team. Cavs have been defensive minded all season & now is the time they've been playing for all year they will not all of a sudden focus on offense rather amp up their Defense even further.

I dont think Detroit D will come into play. Clev will be so strong both Off. and Def. Detroit will pack it in by the middle of the 3rd. I think Clev can score close to 100 so can Detroit score 75 - I dont know? Good luck to you.

MIA +5

Wade's still Angry, 'nuff said!!


MIA/ATL UNDER 186

UNDER is 4-0 last 4 meetings. UNDER is 5-1 in the last 6 games in Atlanta. UNDER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. UNDER is 11-5 in Atlanta's last 16 games at home & the UNDER is 6-1 in Maimi's last 7 playoff games as a dog of 5-10.5

Like the Det/Cavs game first game is a 'feeling out' type game. Miami have been taught all season the importance of playing good Defense. Coach Spo has been promoting it all season & now is that time of the year to utelise that Defense even further. I sense a slow, grind it out sort of game.



Round 1........................FIGHT!!!!

Rayuuuuuuuuukennnnnnn!!!

MIAMI UNDER 186

With all the first 4 games going Over it will be interesting to see the results for this next 4 games. Still stick with my numbers for the Miami/Atlanta game, let's see how it pans out.

No one was more motivated than Wade. He returned 
from two injury plagued seasons with a vengeance, 
leading the league in scoring (30.2 a game) and 
pushing himself into MVP contention - all for the 
shot at another ring.

		
"The regular season, it's a warm up to this," 
Wade said. "The lights are brighter. I feel it 
already. I enjoy these moments. Our crowd's going to 
be rocking when we get back to Miami. Their crowd's going 
to be rocking in Atlanta. This is what we play for."

Wade has only just begun!! Let's Go My Heat!!

BiggDogg - Thank you!! Here's to a good postseason
