New Orleans vs. San Antonio Series

Big_Cheese · 05-06-2008, 07:02 PM

San Antonio -6' in the first home game.

New Orleans -300 for the series.

I thought I saw that New Orleans was up 2-0 in the series.

Looks like in the 2 games I saw, San Antonio was getting man handled.

Was'nt New Orleans the winner of the Western Conference.

Why do these lines look funny to me...

Comments Anyone ???

Spurs will win Game 3, the only question is will they cover 6.5. This series will be decided in Game 4. If Spurs win both at home, it's up for grabs again.

I must say I am not nearly as confident about Spurs winning this series as I was before the series started.

honestly LT, how can i not take new orleans+250 or +6.5 at this point

convince me!!

Yeah but look no furter than the first round at how teams down 0-2 usually do in Game 3 at home. Dallas's only win vs. the Hornets was in Game 3. It's a normal pattern in the NBA.

LT Profits · 05-06-2008, 07:21 PM

No way I take Hornets ML. +6.5 maybe.

ryanXL977 · 05-06-2008, 07:23 PM

that is true, dallas came back, wiz came back, atl came back

but.... denver didnt, suns didnt,

i cant go against new orl at this point, do you think 6.5 is a good bet?

diogee · 05-06-2008, 07:26 PM

I think the +6.5 has the Spurs overvalued...they have been beaten by DD as 3 and 2.5 point dogs and now they are giving 6.5? I honestly don't think their home court is worth 9 points. I would really like 7 but will likely take the 6.5.

ryanXL977 · 05-06-2008, 07:27 PM

those are my thoughts
spurs could win, but they are so outclassed right now its hard not to take 6.5 pts or +250

Denver was a dog in Game 3, so they don't count. Spurs were the only team to buck the trend when they won at Phoenix as a dog. I should have said that NBA Game 3 home FAVORITES down 0-2 are around 60% since 1990.

ryanXL977 · 05-06-2008, 07:30 PM

ok, so take the pts if at all it sounds? spurs do not matchup with new orleans and new orleans has already killed sas in sa by 20 once this yr.

LT Profits · 05-06-2008, 07:31 PM

Damn my brain is not working tonight. LOL

One more try - NBA Home Favorites of -4 or more that are down 0-2 are over 60% ATS since 1990.

ryanXL977 · 05-06-2008, 07:33 PM

now that orlando somehow lost y 7 last night, i will buy half a point in ever damned game i bet on

The angle I stated is ATS, so it would say to take Spurs -6.5.

ryanXL977 · 05-06-2008, 07:35 PM

i will lay off that game then
i just cant go against the hornets

Remember that the same people saying the Hornets are an overlay were the same ones wondering how could Washington, Toronto or Dallas be favored by so much after getting blown out the first two games in the first round. (Well, Toronto actually played well in Game 2, but the others were all blowouts the first two games.)
