Prince's 2009 NBA Playoff Thread

[Prince'sPalace]

I figured I'm on here anyway, I might as well start posting plays and keeping a record. So here go my virgin lays on the forum.

Philadelphia 76ers +8 (2)
Chicago Bulls +4 first half (1.5)
Chicago Bulls ML (+335) (.5)

Hopefully we are in store for some more competitive games tonight than last night. GL everyone!

Philadelphia 76ers +8 (2) (Loss) -2.2
Chicago Bulls +4 first half (1.5) (Win) +1.5
Mavs +4 2nd half (1) (Win) +1
Chicago Bulls ML (+335) (.5) (Loss) -.5

2-2 -.2 units

The Bulls made it interesting for the ML, but not too much damage done. We'll see what tomorrow looks like.

New Orleans Hornets +6 1/2 first half (2)


This is the only line that really sticks out to me today. It is do or die if the Hornets have any bit of self respect they can at least make the first half of this game competitive after that embarrassing 58 point blow out.

Adding
Hornets +6 1/2 (-115) (1)

Going to put another unit on the Hornets 1st Half +6 1/2 even though the line shifted a bit. I still am liking this lot.

New Orleans Hornets +6 1/2 first half (2)
New Orleans Hornets +6 1/2 first half (-115) (1)

1-0 +3 Units Wednesday
3-2 +2.8 Units Playoff Record

Glad this one hit, had a feeling that it wouldn't get out of hand until the 2nd half. I'll size up tomorrow and see what I can do.

76ers ML + Rockets ML Parlay (+103) (2)


I will probably add some players closer to game time but at first look this is my favorite play. I don't have time to write long write-ups, but I am going to try to start to post a few lines giving an abridged version of my reasoning.

The 76ers look poised to push this series to game 7 in a do or die situation at home against Orlando without Dwight Howard, their top scorer, rebounder, and defensive presence. It seems as if this could present a problem unless Orlando truly has Magic up their sleeve.

Portland and Roy obviously are going to come out with everything they have in this game but I just don't see it being enough. The Trail Blazers been shaky on the road and Rockets solid at home all year. Houston is fully aware that if they don't win this game they will have to travel back to Portland and steal a road game. Yao and company have plenty of motivation to come out and get it done Thursday night.

Adding

Philadelphia 76ers -2 (-131) 1st Half (1)
Philadelphia 76ers -.5 (-115) first 6 minutes (1)

I know first 6 minute bets are usually a shit show but I have a feeling Orlando might start off a little gun shy without their big man. Can't make a call on this Bulls/Celtics game so I think I'll hold off, maybe do something at halftime. Best of luck.

 

[Prince'sPalace]

Philadelphia 76ers -2 (-131) 1st Half (1) (-1.3) (Loss)
Philadelphia 76ers -.5 (-115) first 6 minutes (1) (-1.15) (Loss)
76ers ML + Rockets ML Parlay (+103) (2) (Loss)

0-3 -4.45 Units Thursday
3-5 -1.65 Units Playoff record.

Fucking 76ers, that was pathetic. ^<<^

Atlanta Hawks ML +195 (2 units to win 3.9)

It seems a common theme Wade carries the Heat on his back all season and when he gets to playoffs he is a completely hobbled, injured mess. A lot of people will be looking for him to take over tomorrow for old time's sake but I just don't see it happening. Atlanta has so many weapons and the Heat's fate will rely so heavily on Wade's performance. If the Hawks buckle down and use their length effectively they have a great chance to make it another long night on Miami. Almost 2-1 odds seems like great value in this situation.

Atlanta Hawks ML +195 (2 units to win 3.9) (loss) (-2)

0-1 -2 Units Friday
3-6 -3.65 Units Playoffs to date

DWade showed up in a big fashion to piss on my parade early. Need to take a step back and re-evalutate Saturday's picks harder.
