    That's what tends to happen when people assume the game is over.

    Lakers got lucky with the Hornets match up. They should handle the Hornets in 4 or 5 games. I think if they had to face the Grizz or Blazers, they could have potentially lost.

    Hornets series will probably be a sweep but they may lose one game down there.

    If they played the blazers, it'd have gone 6 probably. Grizz 5.

    Western Conference will be close. Bookies will give no love for Eastern Conference.

    Should be great games in the west, I don't see any series going past 5 games in the East.

    Boycotting the playoffs, you should do the same.

    I doubt Dallas is -6 in game 1 against Portland. Dallas always has a close games and this Portland team is a very bad matchup for them. Giving Blazers +6 is too much and I'd certainly bet it. I expect Blazers to upset Dallas in the first round. Dallas has Jason Terry as their second option on offense...we all know about Terry in playoff mode. Who do Blazers have as their options after Aldridge? Wallace, Mathews, Batum, Roy, Rudy, and Miller. Defensively though, is where the Blazers will do damage. Using their size advantage against Dallas' undersized 2 guards like Terry/Barrea/Roddy is going to be huge and I can see Nate McMillan exploiting size mismatches. Portland was probably the worst team Dallas could face in the first round and I fully expect Dallas to get "upset".

    My guess for the West

    Lakers -10.5
    Spurs -6.5
    Mavs -3.5
    Thunders -4.5

    I don't know about these lines now. I do think that those could be close though.

    u really think atlanta wiil beat orlando thegreat? i ust dont see it happening. that team regressed and seems to just show up for the money. magic will heat up from three for at least 2 games and should win series fairly easily.

    Yes, I live in ATL and they suck ass. I want them to lose because I want Drew fired, Sund let go and the ASG to sell but at the end of the day I think Orlando has messed there team up worse than the Hawks.

    Some of the lines are pretty big... Better to take the best of 7?

    Too many things can happen in a series to take the series prices IMO, but if I could get Atlanta, New York, and Denver all at +300 I would put an even amount on each and take that chance that one will hit and I will make a profit.
