About the only thing I did right today was to bet the Clippers M. After agonizing over how to bet that game  I finally decided to go ML. Just didn't like that -5. BTW, Vegas got killed today, with both public dogs coming through.

I also think the Pacers winning may impact the Heat/Nets series. Can't see the Heat wanting to stretch this thing out now that the Pacers are almost done. 
doesn't work like that. Agenda is a diff animal. Pacers perception was "horrible" after Atlanta, I predicted Indy in 5, which will happen and all of a sudden Indy perception is they are back, just in time for the ecf. Miami series will go longer vs bk, lessening their perception to "struggle" vs nets. All setting up the agenda's ecf. 

Miami isn't going to all of the sudden win this series quicker cause pacers series ends quick. League doesn't work like that.

Well thank god you went ML on the Clips (and they only had to overcome a modest 22 point deficit to win it). These playoffs may be the most exciting but man, they have to be the toughest to bet in recent memory.

Although this series bet may be toast (Jim Carrey did in fact end up getting the girl, in real life too amazingly!) I have saved a ton of money these last two games staying away from Wash. I probably lost a ton in game 1 but not betting them, but the net result would have been worse.

So to counter your misery, here is our glimmer of hope:

The Wiz are 7-1 SU and a red hot 8-0 ATS in the road in their last 8 extending back into the regular season (we need the SU obviously).

AND 

If they can get it to 3-2, they come home where I would be very hard pressed to believe any playoff team will lose three straight in their home floor in the playoffs no matter what.

So if they can make it to 3-2 and given how they've played on the road despite the disastrous game 2 ending as you noted, I love the wiz in a possible game 6. Game 7, of course pacers in blowout looms after two straight losses but there is a shot to get there. 

Really, Hibbert, the abominable basketball player, waking from his slumber (or should a say stupor), is what is putting Indy over the edge here in two of three of these games and the series. And to bet on him in game 2 and this series, given his failures and complete shutdown previously, was like playing Russian roulette except the gun had 5 bullets in its 6 shooter, not one.

To all the other posters before BB, too disgusted to answer.

Actually I predicted Hibbert would have a good series here based on matchups. It's not difficult to see how he has played well this series. Your perception is just flawed. Wizards playing in the ECF is laughable. They lost by 22 in g3, blew a 17 pt lead in g4, now go back to Indy. Wiz kids are done.

Laughable huh? Well now it's time to put you on display. Be sure to pull your pants up when I are done because you about to get undressed.

And your prediction is not only misguided, it was quite foolish and had no basis in reality. It was all 'luck based' and happened to go in your favor. Now your own hand that placed the bet (of you even bet on the pacers to win the series - highly unlikely) is hitting your own shoulder with glee.

Such a prediction might be akin to someone at a roulette table seeing 8 blacks in a row and them saying "Red is due!", playing it, winning and them strutting away from the casino like they are Vince McMahon walking down a wrestling ramp.

No, the bet on Hibbet having a good series because of matchups, and by default, you hoping he would 'turn it around,' was worse. 

Because your bet was grounded in reality not luck. And that is whwre capping comes in, since you can't 'cap' a roulette spin.

Hibbert had not one, not two, not three but SEVEN (of EIGHT!) games so bad, that people started to believe he was a mental case.

Those games were so bad, in the aggregate, that they were the worst for any all-star in the playoffs ever (and all-stars usually make the playoffs so the sample is unbelievably significant for all of NBA history).

Where were you after game 1 of this series after his third straight ZERO AND ZERO in 3 of 4 games (save 2 rebounds in one)? Nowhere of course. Because the wizards won that game by 6 and did it so convincingly, the entire series was well in hand.

Had they hit a single three in a stretch of 3 minutes, they could have gone up 2-0. So save the "getting to the ECF" was laughable and 'flawed' talk. This isn't the Blazers Spurs here and mind you, the series isn't over.

Laslty, your opening statement lends itself to your lack of credibility Of which is about the size of a mustard seed at this point. 

How in the world is Pero Antic a WORSE matchup when compared to Gortat/Nene (take your pick)? Antic isn't really even a center and plays along the perimeter waiting to launch threes and is an atrocious rebounder. And even against HIM, Hibbert put up two zero and zeros (save two measly rebounds)!

Antic is 37th among all centers on scoring and an amazing 47th (yes even backups are better than him in both categories, some by a mile!) among all centers in rebounding. He is so bad, that had Hibbert been playing GREAT basketball coming in the series, you should have said that the center matchup was one of the WORST changes from the Altanta series for the Pacers in terms of favoribility.

Need I go on? No, I'm tired of typing. This is sufficient. 

Heres a nickel. Go play some roulette. But when I find ya begging for loose change in the parking garage stairwell, don't say I didn't want ya about that game...and the way you cap.

He's a worse matchup cuz he plays a spread 5 and hibbert has to play outside the paint which makes him completely useless on def. Wizards r done tomorrow along with ur bet pacers have got their swag back that being said they will lose to the heat in 6 or 7 and it will be a finals rematch.

They're done and deflated. 

SA will not take it easy on them or spare them. They had enough to deal with in the Mavericks.

I dunno I have $500 come to me as soon as they win the series. Kinda greedy on my part but I figured drop that on the game tonight double up or break even once they do put them out of the misery for good. 

Pretty confident they will end this tonight. Portland will try to make this closer than the other 3 contests but it won't be enough again and just turn into a no defense all out high FG% scrimmage between them. No one wants to get hurt and I think at this point Stots understand they are out matched. It will be like an unwritten rule where they let off and lighten up on defense in the 2nd half (granted spurs blow them out again in the 2nd quarter or start of the 3rd).... Spurs have a lot more to play for.... I believe both coaches understand that IMO.

god you are square. And you just like to hear yourself talk. Yes, I posted this all before the series started. My bet was placed on Indy -170 and tied up in parlays as well because this price was too low and based on perception. The real price should've been -375. Everything I'm telling you now, I said and posted before the series ever started.

In earlier posts in this thread I tried to be practical in my assessment of this series. The Wizards of Oz have to be thinking "There's no place like home" if they can get back there. I hope Oz has the answer for you. Perhaps an answered prayer?

Hibbert is going to go NUTS on this Miami Heat team. What Lebron did yesterday is never going to happen vs Indiana. Brooklyn can switch sure but they don't have a shotblocker (unless of course you want to block Kyle Lowry....)

Wrong. Antic is not a worse match up for Hibbert you are right. But they aren't doing iso plays rofl. His ROLE in the ball game whilst matched up against antic is what you should be comparing it with. Hibbert has much more role thus is much more of a factor against wiz bigs. It is not luck I believe that was the factor of his capping.

Evidently as the series unfolds it will show has more understanding of series. Ain't looking too good for you scallywaggy

Two Down 

Two to go.

Still a mountain to climb to go 2-0 in the next two but Hibbert?

4 pts 2 rebounds in 25 useless minutes.

Gortat: 

31 and 16 on 13 of 15 shooting

That is about as big a disparity as their could be at a position. And he is the key to all of this.



If Hibbert can crawl back into that hole he was in in the Atlanta series, the Wiz should get this to 7. It's right there fore the taking at home. The pacers will come out firing big time in that game but if the Wizards come to play, they actually have a shot after being left for dead.

Let's just get it there first and get Game 6.
