NBA THURS 052809 early thoughts - value hunting (Playoffs)

[JBrilman]

Okay guys only one game on the board today lets get some discussion going!!


Last night was a .6unit loss for me as I had Lakers 1Q and 1H along with the ML parlayed with the Under. Tough, very tough losses. Looking to get it back tonight and then some.



What are everyone's thoughts on the Total?

Loving ORLANDO +7.5

 

[Eagle123]

Watching the all 4 games on the CAVS Magic Series,I can't find any reason that CAVS can win by 8 point or more.

Magic has complete control during the series

But nowaday, all major ball game are business.

Will ORL let CAVS win and cover this game and back home to finish them. That's the question.

 

[KsYaS]

Orlando has won the games in the 2H in this series. Cleveland has to set the pace in the 2H and defend the 3 point, they just need to decide wheter they are going to lose against D Howard or with the team shooting 3's, a lot of point in the in and out, players in the paint feeding the perimeter.

 

[sharktank]

Every stat calls for at least a magic cover. The variable, its the nba. I have seen the Magic take games off mentally. If they go down early again do they pack it in and play a comfort zone game 6 at home? To me the cavs have throw everything at the magic and failed on def. What can they do alone to offset the missmatches? Nothing! Game rests on effort of magic. 7+points looks to easy. I'm not going to start playing hunches and against logic. Magic + points.played a hunch against peavy last night,whoops!

 

[sheets]

wow
yesterday i took a beating , i had lakers fq and fh

got some back at ht but was too scared to bet what i really wanted too because that first half denver played good

tonite its going to be hard not to take the points because orlando has proven that they are so much better than the cavs

will lock something in a little later still deciding

gl to everyone

With only about 10 games left, I no longer have full unit plays. I am showing some strong signals for an under play tonight. I've locked in the under for an action play.

$100 Under 190.5

BOL fellas.

FWIW, I don't see how you can't take the points. No action here but ORL ML shows some value and there's a chase situation going back to ORL.

 

[munge63]

is howard playing tonight? i thought he was suspended 1 game?

 

[axp59]

He's still 2 technicals away from a suspension. His last one was rescinded and he sits at 5 tech fouls.

 

[shady1234]

is howard playing tonight? i thought he was suspended 1 game?

his 6th tech was rescinded, still has 2 to go until suspension kicks in.

bol tonight

good to see ya posting

lost w/ LA game 4
lost w/ under clev/orl game 4
got it all back last night with 3 parlays w/lLA ML
(under, Angels & Giants)

I like the under tonight
Its hard to see Orl winning and it going under but if its close w/o fouls it could happen. So I agree w/ Orl ML (if its close Magic should win)

I could see Clev in a blowout and it go under if the Magic can't take the first punch :box2:

 

[Truckin']

Magic 1H +5 -110 looks like some good value

game +7.5

looks like most of the world is on Cavs 1H

I give the better team a try

BOL :box2: :box2:

 

[JBrilman]

If we all think ORL is the play why do we all like the under?

Especially if we are thinking ML is a play as well? DOes Orlando win and this go under?

Hmmmmmm

I am trying to convince myself that its going to be a close game in the 80's :mj07:

David Stern said and I "The NBA will be fine if Lebron is not in the Finals"

David Stern said and I "The NBA will be fine if Lebron is not in the Finals"

So tonight people VAN JEREMY must be preaching to his team one thing.

BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF LEBRON AND CO AND WIN GAME 5 AT ANY EXPENSE.

IF THIS GOES TO A GAME 6 I WILL GUARANTEE A GAME 7 AND WHO THE FUCK KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN.

TONIGHT ORLANDO SHOULD BE VERY MOTIVATED TO HAMMER CLEVELAND.

GAMES 1, 2, 3 AND 4 CLEVELAND HAS COVERED THE 1H. WELL KNOW ORLANDO HAS COVERED ALL 4 2H'S ENROUTE TO 3 WINS.

TONIGHT IS NO DIFFERENT. ONLY ISSUE IS CAN CLEVELAND CONTAIN ORLANDO FOR 24 MINS IN THE 2H.

 

[CoFred]

As ridiculous as this sounds, Orlando will not win because the NBA wants this series to go as long as possible. It sounds crazy I know, and I never listened to the "conspiracy" theories either but it almost seems too obvious. As soon as the away team gets a lead bigger than 5 points, every call goes to the home team. Its insane. If anyone is betting Orlando ML, I hope you win, but I just don't trust the NBA. I think the Cavs win.

GLTA :toast:

[proguy747]

what a joke west was not even close to shooting the ball. NBA is a joke.

 

[Eagle123]

Magic 1H +5 -110 looks like some good value

game +7.5

looks like most of the world is on Cavs 1H

I give the better team a try

BOL :box2: :box2:

MAGIC 1H +5:mj06: :mj06:

But doesn't look good on the under:shrug:

 

[Ools]

2h opened -5 cavs, down to -4.5 quickly

o/u 96.5

both seem odd to me

 

[BIGWave]

GREAT to see you post Axp...........hope all is well.
Certainly better than things are in CLEV.....22 point lead evaporates and the drama continues.
ORL totally own CLEV - Stern must hate this......

Looking forward to the game SAT........
