Yeah it was much worse than I could ever imagine between Detroit not putting up points while turning the ball over and the Hornets fizzing out. Really wanted to take the Magic and over but decided to sit out.
Good luck on the Celts...staying away from that one. Hawks are against a wall and everyone is on the Celts.

heh yeah, i can sleep at night if i lose, but if i sit out and see a celts cover i wont be able to live with myself

[diogee]

I hear ya on that one Bruno...I have already listed at least 6 winners in the playoffs that I did not pull the trigger on.

Added both 1.1 to win 1:
703 Los Angeles Lakers/Denver Nuggets under 230½ -110 Denver plans on keeping bodies between the ball and the basket to limit easy hoops and assists. If they play decent defense for half the game then this one goes under. Also only 1 of the meetings this year has went over this total and I don't see the Lakers shooting 50% as they did in games 1 & 2.

707 Houston Rockets +8½ -110 Different team with Alston...Jazz beat them by 9 at the end of the season but shot much better. Houston has confidence and momentum on their side as well as already winning twice in Utah.

hey dio
i really like lakers tonite
they are better, by a lot, than denver

[diogee]

I do agree with you Ryan but I just feel they get it done at home with their backs against the wall. They can stick with the Lakers if they can limit their assists (33 in each of the first 2 games) which lead to easy baskets. Nuggets play a lot better at home and they have been ripped on hard by Karl about staying between the player and the hoop. The Nuggets have melted down in both games and blown up but that won't happen at home and I am sure they get a little help from the refs. I like them in this one but think they lose the next 2.

i almost did them at pick the other day, they are at home (of course so was utah and so was phoenix). i see denvers situation as similar to the suns, they have led both games, they can hang, but they dont have the bench or the closers or the chemistry, especially, that the lakers have
the nuggs have ZERO chemistry
melo is a huge ball hog. its a shame, maybe a new coach, i dunno.

but i feel lakers win tonite
we shall see

[diogee]

Should be one hell of a game for sure...67% of the 26000 bets were on the Lakers and yet the line moved from -1 to -1.5 so there must be some big money on Denver.

[ryanXL977]

i can see denver winning this game, without a doubt
im just taking the betetr team at plus money

who knows
gl

[ryanXL977]

nugs suck ass

[diogee]

Looks that way so far...still 20 minutes to turn it around.

[ryanXL977]

we have seen this all year long vs la though

they wont win with this team

[diogee]

They are toast now...Lakers heating up from 3 land and crowd is not a factor....I'll take the loss and move on to the late game. Congrats ryan...I should have known not to trust these guys. They just don't play with the heart needed in the playoffs.

[ryanXL977]

they did this to me all year
this is about the first time i have gone against them at home though

they have lost it
i found it hilarious that people gave them a shot to win this series.
some dude posted theyd win in 6.

you got the under right? so you areo k

[diogee]

Yeah I got the under so going to lose a little juice but that is it...wasn't confident in Denver doing anything in the 2nd half either and almost took LAL +3 at the half.

[ryanXL977]

well denver is showing life
so help me god if they win this

[diogee]

707 Houston Rockets +3 -105 for 2nd Half .52 to win .5

Bad stretch at the end of the 2nd put them down...I don't think they lose by DD.
