Win or Go Home Tuesday

Post-Season Record: [36-25]
Win Percentage: .590
Profit/Loss: +4,693

DALLAS -110
Risking $1,100 to win $1,000

The Suns are one tired basketball team right now. Bell's injury left D'Antoni with a 7 man rotation. The Mavs had too much depth for Phoenix even before Bell got hurt. Dallas takes a commanding 3-1 series lead tomorrow night!

i like that wise. keep it coming. :SIB

I don't like to disagree with you :scared

But I love the Suns tomorrow. This is a great letdown situation for a Mavs team who is better, but may not have a sense of urgency. If PHX loses tomorrow it's over and they know it. I think they force tempo and this game goes way over 200. It's the only way they can do it, and they lay it all on the court tomorrow imo.

fla,

The Mavs won't have a letdown tomorrow. It is important for them to keep pace with Miami. In my opinion, the Suns best chance to win at home was game 3. They won't have more energy than they had entering game 3. Phoenix laid it all on the line in game 3, and it wasn't good enough. Best of luck to you. You have done a fine job during the playoffs, but I think you're on the wrong side tomorrow.

Well, one of us will win. No question. GL on your plays.

BTW, are you a Mavs fan? We will probably be heading for a showdown next week. lol.

 

[Wise and Wiser]

No, but I will be their biggest fan tomorrow!

Give me a public move to Dallas and I hope the Mavs win by 1.

GL.

 

[Wise and Wiser]

I would think the public will be split on this game. Both teams have been extremely public all season long. I'm sure a lot of the squares will bet Phoenix based on the zig-zag theory. Your Heat are extremely impressive. I was dead wrong about them. I take back everything I said about them. They are playing as a team right now, and they will be very difficult to beat in the Finals. Wade is a superstar!

 

[fla]

I'm not sure if zig-zag is a public theory yet. The public likes to bet against teams with players out and depleted benches. j/k

But you're right. Both are public teams. It's hard to say if this line will move. I think Dallas wins in 6, but PHX wins tomorrow. It should be a fun game to watch. Good luck.

GL Wiser~ Let's go Mavs :toast:

GL Wiser!

I took Suns in game #1, but took Mavericks in games 2 & 3. Going back to Dallas again tonight.

 

[Wise and Wiser]

Good luck Bruce and D! I think we're on the right side tonight. Dallas is definitely the better team. That doesn't mean the Mavs will win, but why would I put my money on the Suns when I know they're inferior? Phoenix has no legs left. The two seven game series they played prior to this one really took a lot out of them. The Suns are playing .500 ball in their last ten games. That spells INCONSISTENT! I will be surprised if Phoenix wins another game in this series.

Thing that has to happen for Pho to win
Marion must play big, both on the D side of the ball and on the O
side as well. If he can get Howard in foul trouble, this will hurt Dallas. The two players that have hurt Pho are Dirk and Howard.
IMO, this is the biggest adjust Dan Toni can do, tell Marion to be digressive. When Dirk and Howard were getting rest, the line up of Harris, Van Horn, Diop, Stackhouse and Terry didn't seem to sure of who wanted to shot the rock.

IMO, you are getting Pho at a bargain, Dallas was fav by 8 in Dallas and now the are a 1 pt fav. That sure seems like a big swing especially for a team that is on the verge of elimination.

I am a Mavs fan. Hope they win, but I just can't bet on them to win.
Good luck on your play Wise
