NBA Conference Finals

Regular season: 200-183 52.22% -4.06U
Playoffs: 16-19 45.71% -4.39U

The NBA sure is a tough nut to crack - had some fun this season but more fun when you make a profit! - There are 3 series left so you never know..... could still be in the black for the year with a great run.

Detroit +145 Series Price - 3 units

Not a big X's and O's guy in the NBA, just like the value here. Detroit was favored to win the conference before the playoffs started and they were the #2 seed. Now with just Detroit & Indy left, you can get them at +145 to win it. I love the defensive intensity they bring. The way they came back from a 3-2 deficit against the Nets was impressive and I think sets them up for a trip to the NBA Finals.

i agree

i think billups and rip hamilton are much better than the indy guards and it will be the #1 factor and mismatch

also the regular season doesnt count for det because their were 2 different teams this year

det before and after rasheed wallace

put a little on det +900 to win champ

you can scalp a profit-
if minn wins in the west it will be minn -120
and lakers win, will be -275 to -300

Monday May 24th

Detroit/Indiana UNDER 163 -107

1/2 unit - Parlay Indiana ML & UNDER 163 +207

- Even though I like Detroit for the series, I can see Indiana holding serve at home tonight thus the small parlay.

Tuesday May 25th

Minnesota/LA UNDER 180.5 -111

Both teams shot extremely well in Game 1 and the game finished with a total of 185 points and Shaq was shooting lights out from the foul line. They key to this game may be if Minny can deny Shaq the ball as they did in Game 2. Even if they do not do as good of a job, you can reasonably assume Shaq will not hit 82%. Minnesota will attempt to duplicate the defensive intensity in this game(including the Shaq denial) so while LA will score more than 71, I would be surprised to see them approach 100 again. The Lakers play UNDER at home frequently & we should see a spirited effort tonight - Martin & Szczerbiak should have a tougher time scoring as well. Anyway - enough rambling - I like the under.
