NBA playoff thread

[BetIt]

Only season I will post plays. NBA playoffs can be money, probably no major plays until game 3s but will post all my picks in this thread.

I split them up into small, regular, big. I will include units.

Looking at Celtics 2nd half under, this game will slow down. It's the playoffs after all, Celtics 2nd unit letting Bulls dictate pace.

[BetIt]

Small Play

.5 units

Under 100.5 2nd half

 

[BetIt]

only way this was going to lose was OT, and it did

don't like to lose the first one but glad it was small

0-1

-.55 units

 

[BetIt]

Regular play

1 unit

Sixers 1st half +5 (-105)

 

[BetIt]

Got this one

1-1

+.45 units

Nothing else tonight unless a 2nd half pops up. Will be back tomorrow with at least one play.

 

[BetIt]

Coming back with two regular plays both for one unit

Celtics 1st half under 98

-I expect the C's to come out and dictate the pace and the game to be much like the 2nd half of game 1 which was played much slower and saw less points (until the final 2 minutes or so).

Spurs -3.5

-Fully expect to see Pop have his team ready to respond. I still think the Spurs are the better team and I think they control this game from start to finish.

 

[BetIt]

Obviously have no feel for the pace of this series

I really can't believe the C's are getting caught up in this pace.

1-2

-.65 units

 

[BetIt]

Had this one nailed

2-2

+.35 units

Temped by under 2nd half here but don't want to force something. Probably come back with Portland 1st half tomorrow.

 

[BetIt]

1 unit

Blazers -3 (-110) 1st half

 

[BetIt]

will update record after tonight

going back to the well

1 unit

2nd half

blazers -3

think they pull away here.

 

[BetIt]

Lakers 2nd half

1 unit

under 108.5 (-110)

 

[BetIt]

Thought Portland was ready to pull away in the final few minutes, some missed free throws and some 3's extended the game

Glad that Lakers game slowed in the final 2 minutes, thought I was going to have an easy one after the 3rd.

1-2 today

3-4 for the playoffs

-.85 units

Doubt I play anything tomorrow unless I see a 2nd half

 

[BetIt]

Going to play Mavs 1st half & Jazz 1st half. Will wait on the Jazz line as I expect it to climb with Okur being out.

1 unit

Mavs 1st half -2.5 (-110)

 

[BetIt]

Maybe I'm just a huge sucker here. I'm going to bite with the Bulls/Celtics under. I know there are plenty reasons to think this goes over but I just feel both coaches make enough adjustments to slow the other team down a bit. Think Bulls focus a bit more on the boards and C's try to slow things down a bit on the road. This is the playoffs after all and I think 202 is a lot of points here.

1 unit

Under 202 (-110)

 

[BetIt]

Will update everything after tonight

2 units


1st half
Jazz +.5 (-105)

 

[BetIt]

Nice 3-0 night for +4 units

playoff record 6-4

+3.15 units

Looking at Detroit and maybe Philly tonight somehow. May lay off thought.

New Orleans will be a big play on Saturday and Bulls on Sunday

 

[BetIt]

Pistons 1st half +2.5 (-105)

1 unit

 

[BetIt]

Wasn't around yesterday to play the hornets or update the record

6-5

+2.1 units

Bulls 1st half -1.5 (-110)

Really like this one

 

[BetIt]

[BetIt]

Hornets -2.5 (-105)

2 units (tomorrow)

Spurs -5 (-110)
