Why didn't they foul Brook Lopez that was so dumb. I knew they would blow that lead any time a team is up big first half they do this. You need to get the big lead late 2nd half. |

Lakers -1 Probably wait til close to tip off as I'd imagine bettors will lean to Denver after the last 2 games. I always like to fade a team that makes a huge comeback, especially if the next game is on the road. This is my least favorite of the 3 picks as I have seen the Lakers mess up 4th quarters not just last game but a few times. However, Denver didn't make the one seed this year and I think LA if they just get some guys like DLo and Reeves to hit some jumpers, Lebron and AD will definitely be getting the calls in the paint tonight back at home. |

Sixers -4.5 (again, got in before line moved up) Having said that, I think Philly will probably win tonight as they really played well towards the end of the season and we all know they should have won the last game. The 2 min report has admitted the refs screwed up multiple times costing the Sixers the game by not calling fouls, not granting timeouts and so Embiid will probably be shooting a lot of FTs tonight. This looks set to be a long series and the NBA would love a Philly/NY classic which for that to happen we need a win here at home where the Sixers have been fairly strong. The last game was a real anomaly as I watch the Sixers all the time and they have a good knack for pulling away from teams in the 4th quarter. Which they had done last time in NY before getting extremely unlucky. |

Always like to go with teams coming home down 0-2 and I be surprised if we don't get at least 2 out of 3. Magic -1.5 2 units Now up to 2.5 but I took this early on and for an extra unit as I have watched a lot of Magic games this season and they are a pesky team that has built some chemistry. Their main problem is they have the lowest 3 point makes per game in the NBA. Well, that and Donovan Mitchell has been killing them. It seems like bettors and oddsmakers alike feel like the Sixers have the strongest chance at getting a home win tonight but IMO Orlando is the best pick despite their lack of playoff experience. They won more home games than Philly while winning their division (in fairness there was only other one good team in the Southeast but it was Miami so finishing in front of them is decent) while the Cavs have one less road win than the Knicks, and most interestingly, despite being 2 games over .500 on the road they have only gone 3-9 in their last 12 road games). So I would prefer that and only laying a single bucket to the nearly 6 points the Sixers are laying now. |

@hustle_man Yeah I really helped 'those in the know' when I took all the home teams except the Thunder (just cuz I expected first game jitters due to their inexperience) and cleaned up, then had Indiana last night and Miami +14 tonight. I've made money every year in the NBA playoffs probably since before you were born. The patterns are not hard to figure out, there will be a few odd results but plenty of tried and true angles for these back and forth series. |

Another buffer classic. Only guy who can get a -14.5 fav to lose straight up with one post. Now we just need OKC to complete the fade buffer parlay How much did you pay this tout for his picks buffer? Must suck to have to pay him AND your bookie now. Ever think maybe this whole gambling thing just isn't your bag? |

Jimmy James told me to take the opposite sides of anything buffer posts because he is putting his bookie's kids through college |

This is my bookies current prices that you can take on the series, I don't get why the prices are so different. Isn't it impossible to cover -3.5 games if you don't sweep or am I missing something here? I already have 2.5 games but was getting greedy thinking of taking that plus money still on offer for the sweep |

Also they must have two of the worst coaches in the NBA: Jason Kidd and Tyronn Lue. Kidd especially. I don't think guys who were good players usually make good coaches. And Lue I don't know how he keeps getting HC jobs he doesn't strike me as particularly clever. |

It's literally the definition of insanity and I don't think there's much hope of a cure at this stage. |

Just burn the ticket now. What a comedy of errors that first half was. When not throwing up bricks just sloppy, silly turnovers. Neither team has any chance even vs the young Thunder. If it's Denver vs Minny next round whoever wins that wins the conference IMO |

Pacers +1.5 The pace, if you'll pardon the pun, really didn't suit Indiana last game, and when guys like Portis step up and play well the Bucks can handle being without Giannis. But the Pacers know they need to steal one of these games while he is hurt, and I think they'll do so tonight. It won't be a walkover like the last time anyway. They're likely going to make an effort to play much faster and get transition buckets. If the Pacers can come out and hit some 3s and get a lead I don't think they'll look back. Clips/Mavs Over 216 I think similar comments apply to Dallas who will also try and push the pace. The last game went way under so the books adjusted down by almost a full 7 points. and now the Clips get one of their most reliable scorers back, who hits those midrange jumpers and can get to the line. I think this game will be tight and see plenty of FTs and 3s attempted... Hopefully the 3s go in the hole! |

@MrFreedo Well the Pelicans were missing Zion last game too so they already had rallied for one game this makes two even tho they didn't win. They totally botched last possession, I don't get why teams go iso up top like that and feel like it has to be a buzzer beater 3. The other 4 players didn't give CJ any options at all. They definitely did have first game jitters and will dispatch the Pelicans pretty easily in the series but like I said they aren't beating those other teams. If it ever comes down to game 7 they'll have jitters then too. You could see this coming a mile away once the line went up as everyone jumped on the home team bandwagon a buzzer beater job was on the cards. Every under cashed, you need defense to win in the playoffs and that caught out the Pacers and Dallas who don't know how to play D. |

And since that they surrendered the lead and had another stretch of not just 2 but 3 back to back turnovers. Yeah good luck getting through the West with these guys they don't have the game IQ yet. Lmao and the coach challenges an out of bounds and it goes from a jump ball on their side with a 7 foot centre to a turnover. Great job coach. That is 4 straight turnovers in the last 4 mins of the game. How are they even the 1 seed |

That's why they'll be the only home team not to cover today. Just pushed it it double digits in the 4th and back to back turnovers as soon as they crossed halfcourt leading to two 3s. It's also why you can bank on Denver or Minnesota winning the West. Jokic or even big KAT will own Holmgren, playoff basketball is different and I don't think these young guys know what it's about yet. |
