Not comfortable laying the points today, so I'm doing:

Celtics ML + Pittsburgh Penguins ML. Celtics won't lose game 7 at home, and I'm pretty confident Crosby/Malkin and the rest of the boys finish of the Flyers at home.

Man, thats such a steep ML price to pay though. How about 2 team ML parlay Celts/Pens. Eases your pain a little. I like Pens as well.

MQuang has officially taken over the crown of stupidest Covers poster ever...

 

highlights:  thinks that the KC Chiefs were allowed to kick a FG to stretch the spread of the final from 14 to 17... AFTER time had expired... DID NOT HAPPEN IDIOT!  i didn't even see it... i GUARANTEE it did not happen...

another: thinks not only that NBA games are rigged, but that it's the "low paid (sic) players" that are the ones rigging it...

please explain to me how you are going to have scrubs throwing a game, when 1) they are only on the court a minimal amount of time, 2) they aren't in the game at the end, 3) they are the least effective players on the floor, and therefore do not have the skillset to take over the game in any fashion (for better OR worse)... 4) these are the VERY guys who are fighting for their jobs and playing-time idiot!!!  you gonna tank a few dribbles out of bounds to fix a game knowing that it might cost you a job in the NBA???

 

you're a fucking idiot!  God they need to regulate who is allowed to post in here... seriously!

I like you a lot too W8lifter but your last "insider info" was to take Detroit hockey under and it went over midway through the second period as I recall.. Definitely fade that...

game trends you Cleveland bettors are up against...
 
1) Boston has never lost a game 7 in the Garden...
2) no team has ever stolen a game 7 on the road after losing the first 3 games of a quarterfinal series on the road... (0 for 20)
 
there is only one gimme bet in this game, and that's Boston ML... but not much value there, so i would suggest following the advice of a guy who pointed out that nearly 90% of the games in the playoffs thus far have been covered by the team that won the game... in other words, pick the winner SU and you got your ATS winner...
 
emotion is going to be off the charts in this game, and it will all be on the Boston side... gonna be an avalanche for the Cavs...
 
so the real question is... Over or Under???  hmmm... i said bet the under every game of this series, and it's 5-1 so far... but now the total is down to 174, and there are a couple problems... 1) game 6 is typically an under, game 7 is typically an over... 2) value on the under is gone (total down from 183 to 174)... 3) in a 7 game series you're gonna go 5-2 on totals (partly because of #2)...
 
my hunch tells me over...

So there was 6 NHL games played yesterday D'bag? I don't care about the rest, I'm talking about hockey. I know FOR A FACT that you took Dallas every game. That makes you 2-3. I'm pretty certain that you have takin the dog in every game in the conf finals. That makes you what 3-6 or something. Then you come in here and because you won the last 3 you talk shit. Well, you lost the first 6 (I'm pretty sure). You fail to mention this. I'll say it again, and I would say it to your face. YOU ARE A JOKE WHO DOESN'T KNOW SHIT IN THE NHL!!! Believe me DUMBELL, I've got you in the NHL. As far as you fading me you are WRONG AGAIN. I took Dallas in game 3(and got lucky). I had the under in game 4 w/ a small play on the Stars (just because I wanted to get something out of a possible Wings loss). I'll say it again as far as the Conf. finals YOU'RE TERRIBLE!!! I only started following your plays because you were talking like the Wings didn't deserve to be there. That alone shows your knowledge of hockey. This is my last post about your TERRIBLE HOCKEY CAPPING in an NBA forum. To the rest of you, I apologize, but People have to know that you don't tell the (whole)truth. Yes, you hit 3 dogs in a row (allegedly), but you've lost the previous 6 (allegedly). Again, I apologize for NHL talk in an NBA forum. YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!!

The only guys on Cleveland that matter and have been there before are LeBron, Ilgauskas, Wallace, and to a small extent Varejao.  Delonte hasn't been there before, neither has Wally.  I'm not sure if Joe Smith has been there before, probably since he's been 15 years.  Pierce has been to a conference finals, so has Allen, and so has Garnett.  Cassell and Posey have won titles.  Only guys on Boston who haven't been there are Perkins and Rondo.

Doc is coaching better, making the move to Eddie House instead of Cassell.  Should see more Leon Powe here.  Celtics will turn it up on the defensive end and prove what we have known and pretty much seen all series long.  That they are the better team.  Add in the fact that the refs will more than likely not be blatantly against them,  Remember the Hawks series?  This will be a repeat performance.

Boston -8
Cavs Team Total under 83
OVER 86.5 1st half
UNDER 173 total

Prediction:

Celtics 51  Cavs 39   halftime

Celtics 96   Cavs  76  Final

Thanks for the criticism, but I was just trying to provide some analysis.  Never said you had to live by it.  Why don't you stick to putting forth your own analysis instead of attacking others and then we can all get a more complete idea of which way we want to wager, if at all.

Guess who is back??? That's right! It's me Erik202! What a time to post a play for all my followers. Was reading some of these post and I tell ya, hating will not get your bankroll back or up! Lebron is the truth! I didn't realize until I watched this series! Celtics are OVERRATTED! They have the best record in the league and??? Look at game 6 and the adjustments that the cavs made. Lebron with get the ball early in the half court set and right back before the double team comes. If you have your money on the celts today...I feel sorry for your mother!! The other thing is the overeaction to the under that was in game 6! You lames are taking the under??? Why?? Know the situations and look at the amount of fouls and freethrows teams take in game 7's!! This game is going over!! See you at the pay window, Then see you at the deposit line at the bank!!!
 
Cavs +8 and over 173 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
 
Went 5 units on both!! Thanks to all that take the under and the celts and keep these lines for me to take em to the bank!!!
 
This has been brought to you by pupsandchalk!! The real cappers!!

I'm going with the Celtics here. 8 points is a lot, I might buy 1 or 2. I can't decide what to do with the total here, so I'm laying off.

Doc is a horrible coach, worse than Brown, but I still think the Celts pull this one out, maybe even by double digits. The Cavs have a horrible team other than LeBron, I don't understand how the Celts are in this situation. My futures bet of the Celts winning over the Spurs in the finals, is looking worse and worse everyday.

CELTS

Ok people... A lot of opinions here, and very little information. I play the "SportsMarket" like the Stock Makket. It's the same dam thing, It's all about the information. Good information that is. No emotion !! I could care less what company does well when I play the Stock Market, and could care less even more who wins a Tree Hockey Game, oops I mean Basket Ball game.   There is no emotion for me in this market. NONE! And that's the way it should be. I gater information, buy information, steal information, WHATEVER it takes for me to go to bed everynight with more money than I woke up with! And that's just what I do, and that's just what all you all you should be doing. Who gives a shit who wins today? Only those getting payed to play the game is who.
