Everyone and their mother is on Hornets tonight. I'm fading the public and going with the Champs.

You might be right but it has done wonders throughout NBA playoffs. The average Joe is a loser for a reason.

Actually the home teams have done pretty well incase you haven't seen any of the games in this years playoffs. Don't you think that everyone has figured that out by now and that is why the home teams are being hammered right now?

Plus, I will take the Hornets until Spurs show me they won't get blown out at N.O. because this year they have been flat out embarrassed.

Agreed...they proved that in games 1&2 and are 1-3 on the road in the playoffs with all 3 losses by at least 18 points.

Was he sick in games 1&2? Going to be a good game either way but I don't think the Spurs can back up their game 4 performance where they shot the game of their lives. Also can't expect such a poor showing out of the Hornets starting 5.

Yeah, Duncan was recovering from a fever the first two games. I just hope Scott makes the necessary adjustments. The supporting cast needs to get involved. Paul can't beat the Spurs all by himself.

Thank you Diogee and Pmike finally 2 people that understand something about gambling. And yes Unde I do realize hometeams have been winning hometeams and public are very different. In the Hawks series the public was pounding Celtics even when they were on the road.

I've had enough of people talking about Manu's ankle being broken and Duncan having a 150 degree fever. PIMMIKE, HOW HAVE THEY BEEN GOOD ON THE ROAD? should i restate the stat that Diogee said to you.

The Spurs are 1-7 ATS on the road and are just 1-5 ATS as an underdog on the road. Spurs are also just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 as an underdog of less than 5 points.

That is definitely a team that is great on the road. Where are you getting your info from because this is the streaks they are on?

Why argue with me about it. I believe there the better team and will show they can win on the road, since no one other than Detriot has.


Relax watch the game and we will see if I was right or not.

The game is not palyed between u and I but the Spurs and NO

You said they are a good road team, just showing you they actually aren't
