Tuesday Night

[eztds]

One thing I WILL NOT do is play the Bost/Det game until 2H....if then. Who knows what these two teams will do:

-If your play'n a side....Det can't hit an open shot

-If your play'n the total....Bost throws up too many 3's for a 175 total (if Det could ever find the range)

Pass'n on this "eastern" crap.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

However.........

I do like the under 182' in the Spurs/Laker matchup.

-The LAL are WINNING with their defense.

-Yes....the Spurs "choked" going scoreless in the last 5+ minutes of game 4. I would contend that a huge reason for the "choke" was solid Lake Show defense.

-Shaq isn't the offensive juggernaut of past playoffs because of all his nag'n injuries. That seems to be cutting down on the LAL quick scores as they pass around the perimeter.

-However, the LAL lead the series 3-1 primarily because of smothering late game D.

-Should be no different again at the Staples Center tonight......with a "tight" Spurs team facing elimination.

-That loss on Sunday in SAN......sucked the wind outa the Spurs just like that Saturday OT loss the deflated the Mavs.

-Lake Show needs to close this thing out tonight so the Kings don't get all the rest before they meet in the Western Conference Championship. Shaq can't go right into another series against a "fresher" team.

Lake Show gets it done defensively and the Spurs spudder in the 4th period. At least that's the history of this series.........

Going with the SAN/LAL under 182'

GL to all comrades and brothers in arms here at MadJacks.....you guys make play'n the games fun and profitable!!

Listened to Adelman last night. He said it was very important for his guys to avoid another trip back to Dallas. That's an incentive I might not have given enough weight. I agree that LAL should want to get this done and avoid a trip back to San Antone. The total "looks" pretty easy here for the under.

That also may be the kind of incentive Boston will lack. They'll go back to Boston whether they win or lose. Then again, maybe some of the Pistons have tee times for Wednesday and want to avoid the trip back to Boston.....who knows. If one were to think anything of Detroit, they would have to back the Pistons in this game. My opinion of them has dropped significantly since the playoffs started, but I still hold out hope...so I'll take the P's. Have no idea how someone could argue this game will go over, but I'm not willing to take the under.

Good luck ez, c ya at half.

It's Very Interesting.......

It's Very Interesting.......

I just noticed that Olympic already has the LAL/SAC game up for Saturday!!!

SAC -1' and 197

Guess they're think'n the Spurs are done in time for a Saturday LAL/SAC event.....even though there are still 3 games possible in that series?

That ought to tell ya something! LAL ml

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

nighthorse....you expressed my sentiments precisely concerning the Bost/Det game. A risky proposition at best.....and one that would likely be passed on during the regular season.

Hope ya hit on the Pistons.

GL to all take'n part in that one! ez

The line is now Sac -1.5/196.5 Leaning toward the UNDER.
