thanks aancheta... i don't know if i will bet on Dallas... i have a full unit riding on them to win the series, and should probably just ride out this game... if Dallas wins tonight the series is 100% over, and i win my series bet... but i am so sure they will win easily tonight it is still tempting...

GL if you bet it...

ice -  funny thing is I got a unit riding on the spurs to take the series / the first game dallas had about 25 more free throw attempts then spurs which made up a HUGE difference in the outcome IMO - but dallas is just too good @ home - i did take mavs for 1.5 U - the upset is in Orlando today again IMO

 keep up the good insight

yea Mavs were crap... hopefully they don't turn out to be the same ol' Mavs, but i'm pretty sure they will get a split in SA and turn the series back around... that 37% shooting performance won't happen again...

still, if they could have gone up 2-0 this series would be over in short order... they blew a big opportunity last night...

i'm counting the Mavs as a very unfortunate loss... could have won any of the 3 games they lose in this series, if not for some terrible shooting by Terry and Nowitzki...

hopefully they pull it out for you, and at least make it exciting for me... if the Thunder can pull out a win tomorrow night i'm winning money on that series...

if i didn't have a series bet riding on the Celtics, my play tomorrow would be a full unit play... i think they will feed off of the crowd and put the hammer down... one of those games like game 6 of the 2008 finals when they throttled the Lakers...

and as for calling them the World Champions (remember i bet them before game 1 of the playoffs to win it all last year)... we won't be able to call them that for much longer... i don't think this team has what it takes to beat Dallas or Denver in a 7 game series, and i think they would have to do both to get back to the finals...

in fact, the Thunder series bet is a hedge... i want the Lakers to win that series... because then i can REALLY make some money fading them against as a favorite against a superior opponent...


sounds good Ice, I can tell you know what you are doing!
hedging out is always a smart thing to do if you can manage.

And I agree, we wont be able to call them world champions
for long, I don't see them repeating - its very hard to repeat
for any sport but especially the NBA.

For me, the most interesting thing is lebron's elbow.
we will keep a watchful eye on that I am certain..

Be well and GL buddy

i hedged out of both of my series bets on the Mavs and Thunder... Thunder was a good investment, Mavs was a bad one, so it evened out with the fact that the Celtics won...

if the Lakers win tomorrow night, i will have exactly broken even on my series bets... which isn't good, but considering i lost 2 out of 3, and especially since i lost on the Mavs laying chalk, i am happy to end up even...

meanwhile i am up 3 or 4 units on my other plays, so i'm content with the first round showing... for me, the NBA playoffs get easier to read as they get deeper in, so i'm usually happy to just not lose my ass in the first round...

as for the Lakers, their road has become amazingly easy all of a sudden, since they own the Spurs and the Jazz in the playoffs... and the Suns in general... but i still think i will have to take a shot on the Jazz in that series...
