Missed a couple of days of highlights, here they are:

For Saturday, Day 8 of the NBA Playoffs:



For Sunday, day 9 of the NBA Playoffs:

NBA Playoffs Day 7

Was looking like a good night last night and turned south pretty quickly. Suns up 11-0 to start the game only to give it all back and then some, losing by 6.

I was lucky enough to get on the early games, and took Miami and NJ. Obviously I cannot and will not count them in the records, but still shaping up to be a nice night. Only one game left, Warriors at home against the Mavericks.

If everythings follow the NBA playoff script, then I would favor the Warriors to win this game, lose game 4 and 5, win game 6, and lose game 7. But they did what they did and showed up the refs, which is not good. It will be interesting to see if the refs handcuff one of the Warriors key players with a couple of quick fouls in the first quarter. It is going to be hostile there. The Warriors have been good to me all year, and they are going to be fired up and especially motivated to win this one. The refs will keep this one close. I am taking the Warriors +4 and Warriors +164 ML

Highlights from Last nights games

NBA Basketball Playoff - Day 6

Well, I normally am not one to vent - but here it goes. If you watched that Dallas/Golden State game last night, you saw the essence of what I call "home cookin". It smelled real good if you had Dallas last night, like a Thanksgiving feast. Baron Davis tossed from the game, Steven Jackson tossed from the game. Free throws shot in the game - 43 Dallas - 27 Golden State, with 8 of Golden States free throw attempts in the last 4 minutes with game out of reach. To make matters worse, they called a phantom foul with 7 seconds left in the game with the total at 209, and the 12th man from the Warriors buried two free throws to take the game over the total. I can usually sniff out the home cookin prior to the game, and this one I thought was gonna happen late in the 4th and Dallas would squeak by with a win.

Tonight we have 3 more games:

NBA playoff record 8-6-1, +1.2 units
NBA 2007 record 93-54-2, +53.0 units
Tonights plays:
Utah -2 first half
Utah/Houston under 93 first half
Detroit/Orlando over 183
Suns -180 ML

Utah -4.5 vs Houston - Houston has won and covered both games in the series. This should be a close game till the end. I don't like the way Utah has played during the last half of the season. But, I do think that they will step it up right out of the box, and both teams will play tight for the first half. I am taking Utah -2 first half and under 93 first half.

Detroit -2.5 at Orlando - Detroit notoriously cannot sweep anyone. They have dominated this series until late in the 4th of each game, giving Orlando back to back covers. They have won all 6 games against the Magic this year. With the line this low, it makes me think something is up. I am playing over 183 on this one, as the Magic usually come out guns blazing in big games this year.


Suns -4 against the Lakers - Again, here we have just an utter mismatch, but this game will probably close until the end of the game. The number scares me, and I cannot bet on the Lakers. Fuuny that I would probably take the Suns if the line was -5.5 or -6. I will take the Suns on the Money Line as I think that they are the superior team here. Suns -180 ML.

Yesterdays results - 3-4, -1.4 units -
Golden State +9.5 BEST BET - loser
San Antonio -8.5 - winner
Cleveland -11.5 - loser
Golden State/Dallas Under 209.5 - loser (total was 211, 2 FTs with 7 seconds left)
San Antonio/Denver Under 193.5 - Winner
San Antonio/Denver Under 98 first half - Winner
Cleveland/Washington under 186 - Loser(73 points scored in the 4th quarter, more then both teams scored in the first and third quarter combined)

Last nights highlights - Day 5

NBA Basketball Playoff Picks for Wednesday Night - 5-2-1 so far in the playoffs

Just an FYI, but I am going to start posting various highlights from the previous nights NBA playoffs on the left hand side that will change every day. I am also going to post top 10 plays for the night with the results as well. Think it will be pretty cool to have an archive of all the highlights of the entire 2007 NBA Playoffs. Last nights top 10 can be seen below.

Yesterdays Plays
Toronto -5.5
Suns -9
Miami +3.5

Miami game got ugly, Toronto game could have been, and the Suns went right to plan. That bring the playoff run to 5-2-1 so far, plus 2.6 units for the Playoffs. NBA 2007 Season record: 90-51-2, +54.4 units

Tonights games:
Golden State +9.5 at Dallas - Interesting line. Right about the same as it was for Game 1. I have seen these teams play 3 times this year, and in each of them Dallas has not been able to catch up to Golden State, yet alone beat them by 10. The Warriors are 4-0 against Dallas this year, although one of the games was a throw away game for Dallas. Don Nelson knows this Dallas team inside and out, and that is why he owns them. I expect Dallas to come out and win a close game here, but no way by more then 9. They cannot run up and down with this team if they want to win, so they will slow it down as much as they can. I also like Under 209.5.

San Antonio -8.5 vs Denver - Denver has awoken the sleeping beast. The Nuggets will have to settle for stealing one, as this one will be ugly for them. I expect the Spurs defense to be stout and muck it up tonight, winning a real ugly game. Something like 94-80 or similar. I also like under 193.5 for the game, and under 98 for the first half.

Cleveland -11.5 vs Washington - Thank god this is the game that is on NBA TV tonight. Cleveland is far superior to Washington when you take out Gilbert and Caron. This game will be over at the half. Cleveland will play tough D and slow down the game and Washington will not be able to do much. Also like under 186.

Tonights Plays:
Golden State +9.5 BEST BET
San Antonio -8.5
Cleveland -11.5
Golden State/Dallas Under 209.5
San Antonio/Denver Under 193.5
San Antonio/Denver Under 98
Cleveland/Washington under 186

Good luck everyone.

NBA Playoffs 2007 - Picks for Tuesday April 24

NBA Picks for Tuesday nights games (NBA Playoff record 3-1-1, 1.7 units, 2007 NBA 88-50-2, +53.5 units)

All 1 unit plays tonight

Toronto -5.5 over New Jersey - Took them until late in the 4th to wake up in game 1, but now they are awake. New Jersey will be content with stealing one game. There will be plenty of home cooking tonight for the Raptors. I see this being a 10-15 point game in the end.

Miami +3.5 over Chicago - Refs will have to give Shaq a break tonight for dogging him out last game. This is going to be a long series, and the only way to ensure that is by making sure the Bulls win game 1. Wade and Shaq and the heat win game 2 straight up in a close one down the stretch.

Suns -9 over the Lakers - Game 1 should not have been as close as it was. The Suns can easily win by 20 against the lakers every night, especially when Kobe decides to pull up from 22 with 2 guys on him late in the game. The only thing that scares me is when the Suns go into prevent offense mode, and run the shot clock down and settle for long 2's and 3's. This has blowout written all over it. Suns by 18.

Monday Night Highlights - Rockets/Jazz game 2, Pistons/Magic game 2


Good luck everybody.

almost all underdogs covered

Like I said, the games are gonna be crazy. Only Chicago as a favorite covered today so far, with the Lakers game left to go. 2 dogs of 10 points or more won outright and 2 others 12+ point favorites only won by 2 points each. Golden State did not cover and they were up 40 points to start the 4th. Crazy time right now.

As for the Spurs game, what can I say. By tipoff the spurs ended up being 4 point favorites. Tim Duncan was ejected in the 3rd quarter. They were up 2 with a minute left to play and just choked it down the stretch.

Still sticking with Lakers tonight. Should be a blowout special.

Here's to everyone taking it easy before the playoffs.

NBA picks for TNT Thursday

KOBE VS. LEBRON VS. VINCE HIGHLIGHT VIDEO

Official Plays -
Nets +6.5 vs Cleveland PLAY OF THE DAY
Nets\Cavs over 186

Clippers +3

Tonight we have LeBron James and the Cavs (-6.5 at theGreek) taking on Vince Carter and the Nets in the early game on TNT. This is followed up by Kobe and the Lakers (-3 at theGreek) hosting the LA Clippers.

Nets magic number is 2 to get into the playoffs. Cavs are down a half game to Chicago for the second seed. These teams usually play very close games.

Some decent looking stats for the Nets tonight:

• Nets are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
• Nets are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5.
• Nets are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central.
• Cavaliers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.
• Cavaliers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.
• Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

The Clippers are in the 9th seed by half a game, and need this one pretty badly. It really isn't much of a road game playing the Lakers in the same building. The Lakers will continue to throw games until they can lock up that 7 seed to play the Suns. I might throw some on the moneyline too, but might need those 3 points knowing that Corey Maguette is playing.

For both these games, I would hit them up close to game time as you may get some late action on the favorites to drive up the line.

Good luck
