    The original opening line is always 6 or 7 points the other way. They are only small favorites because they are home. Just like the rest of the games will be the same lines ast the 3 games before. If you don’t know that you shouldn’t be gambling big units in NBA.

    the line is correct. knicks opened up at plus 170 series bet.  so they were a medium size dog.  first two games average line was 5.5. this is a 7 point swing. you cant make knicks 5 point favorite which would be a 10 point swing.  if spurs would have won game 2 then line might be a pick or spurs minus 1.5. line doenst stink there are alot of believers still out there who say spurs are the better team. i will be on the knicks

    Hi everyone, I know I might have been a little off with some details from the last couple of games. That line of -2 or -1.5 when NY played like their best selves seemed a bit strange. I’m leaning towards the over, but many of you suggested it, and it paid off thanks to your great pick. I also considered SA, but I felt I had to based on the criticism I was receiving and knowing Trump would be there to throw a wrench in NY’s chances of winning their third straight game so great win for all SA backers. I do believe NY will take it thought
