good health rod!

Getting on this one early for Sunday

Cavs -5 over Bulls (3)

That last 5-6min of the 4Q showed that when they want to the Cavs can just flick the switch against this team and go on a tear. Start of Game 3 they clearly came out flat, showed no intensity at all and basically I put that down to the whole leading 2-0 in the series syndrome. So part of this is zig zagging and part of it is thinking the Cavs regain that intensity that they were talking about pre series with the opportunity to close at home on Tuesday.

Quick thought on the Magic v Bobcats tomorrow

Definitely will be on the Bobcats, frankly we as punters face the same scenario as Game 3 in the Cavs/Bulls series. First home game for the undersog trailing 0-2 in the series will come out amped and the favorite dropping their intensity. Feel confident (moreso than I would have been if I backed the Heat tonight) because of the Bobcats home record all season, their defense has been simply outstanding at home.

Yes see my post about the Game 3 in the Lakers game, only dropped 1 unit at that + money line thinking to myself if they drop that game I will double up for Game 4. That is what I will do, Lakers controlled game 3 for basically 3 quarters before just dropping off in that final quarter.

Bulls/Cavs UNDER 193 =

Lakers ML =

Spurs -3.5 =

=

Overall 8-5 +5.04

Bobcats ML over Magic - (+115) (2)

If that were the case the Lakers wouldn't have lost to the Thunder on Thursday after the Cavs lost to the Bulls. It's not that simple Miracle

Well done on the Spurs and Jazz plays rod..

Liking the Cavs at first glance myself...haven't looked that closely at the card yet (about to do that now)...Good Luck bro

Looking at the history Orlando owns Charlotte, 9-1 last 10 meetings and Van Gundy can use the Celtics as locker room chat for what 3-0 does for you.

Disagree Rod as the Lakers prep for the game wouldn't have had anything to do with the Cavs loss because as one game is finishing the other is starting where in this situation we've had an extra day to review as the Magic would have had.  Also if we review those games...Cavs were 4 point fav's that lost and Laker's were 3.5 underdogs and lost so one was expected to win while the other wasn't. 

I'll quote a stat from PistolPete's thread
