NBA PLAYOFFS SUNDAY 04192010 - Early Thoughts & Value Hunting

[JBrilman]

PLAYOFF RECORD 1-0

Well I only got to play the Cavs 1st quarter as posted due to extenuating circumstances and its a shame as I already had a big day going with a large round robin in baseball and would have gone fairly large on both Boston and Denver had I been able to make the bets.

Bummer

On to Sunday!!

EARLY LEANS

DALLAS -4.5
PHOENIX -8 POD

Would love to hear everyone thoughts and especially on the Laker game.

Congrats JB on your NBA pick keep up the good work. Was just wondering are you posting MLB plays anywhere??? I know you and 40seven were chatting alot on the baseball thread.

As for today JB like your plays

 

[Slicer]

Definitely like Dal & Pho, adding Bobcats +.

As for the Lakers game, rooting like hell for the Thunder (sorry JBril) just hate the Lakers, just like the Yanks and Red Wings :142smilie

As for the Lakers game, cant really read it, was tending to the Under.

Also like the over in SA/Dallas

Like the Lakers first quarter, so nice to see them win the title again, why people hate a winner is just odd to me. BOL and lets get some cash today I think Suns roll on the Blazers.

 

[40seven]

Just getting going

Just getting going

JB like your lead here.

The Suns for sure!

I will back with baseball in the AM.

My jiob, CPA, was very crazy recently, then i got real sick over the weekend. Then the Heat collapse almost ...

nothing but money and it will be back soon.

Hope you guys will all post baseball. It is so much easier then NBA

LAL/THUNDER

LAL/THUNDER

I am seeing WAY too much love for a unproven Thunder team. These guys have never played in a playoff game let alone one in LA with all the movie stars sitting court side, and now everyone is jumping on the Durant bandwagon. Kobe and the gang set the tone in game 1. Thunder will be lucky to win a game in this series, you heard it here first!

LAL -7.5
PHO -8
DALLAS -4.5

those are my plays!

MLB

Yanks -165
Twins -190
BJays -136

leans A's & Giants, Rockies as well...


BOL TODAY GENTS!

Jbril, not that I dont think LA will move on, matter of fact I would say that's a lock, but small difference between winning SU and giving up 7-10pts per game that the lines will dictate.

Look at Utah, they played basically a Golden State lineup last night and took the Nugs down to the final 10 mins.

Unprovens have heart and will and determination, (i.e. Butler, #8 seeds in NHL Playoffs etc.) while those at the top think they can cruise along and just win. No doubt the Lake Show will win the series but covering every game I don't see it, their history and play hasn't dictated it.

As for hating a winner- it's not that people naturally hate winners, it's more of wanting to see something magical happen, rooting for the little guy is something that some people like to do no matter the team, I'm not a huge NBA fan with ties to any team really, I guess if I had to pick one I would go with Dallas. It applies to lots of teams though, people hate Duke (as do I being a tarheel), people hate the tarheels, the Irish, the Red Sox, Celtics etc. I have massive respect for the Lakers, but going back to my childhood and watching the Celts/Lakers back in the 80's every year I would root for the Celtics everytime, so maybe some of my thinking stems from that, anyways enough rambling just defending myself and expressing my point of view, no hate directed to anyone

Slicer I love your two points.

1. it is about the points and
2. LAL moves on

Not sure the play but a small ML parlay on PS and Lal

Last night home teams all won and covered....will it happen again today? no upsets?

I will not bet the Lakers today I want to see them play one good game first

As I had no action on the whole game I feel for you losing by the hook! Sorry bro!

Like the Dallas pick!

I have action on it at -4.5 so kudos on getting 4!!

Will most likely be adding plays on Phoenix FQ & FH in a bit!

 

[JBrilman]

hope everybody jumped on the Orlando FQ & FH plays!!

Great start to the Playoffs!
