    Why the hell is Orlando -7.5 ???

    This line just makes no sense. I actually think Atlanta might close out the series in this one. I mean I know everyone else is probably thinking the same thing and the hawks will get a ton of action but how atlanta not be the play here?

    Bookie might want to make one last run before they close shop. Sucker bets are traps and they are out to get your money.

    What have you seen from Orlando to make you think they could possibly win a game by double digits

    if you havent noticed vegas has the biggest ego of all cappers the original line was orlando -9 they cant really move it past 7 because it would show that they were wrong. Theres been many times in previous playoffs where the same team covered the spread every game of the series or in every home or away case because the line was incorrectly originated

    If you been riding on atl, you are already up 3-0

    Even if you lose on atl and orlando is due for a blow out game, you record still serves you well at 3-1.

    The best thing to do is to ride it out. Orlando myth about they are due for 1 and they are this and they are that, well that's is just your own speculation against mine. While you speculate to hurt your mind, I will continue to play the trend because trends are all that important. The man who doubles up, triples up to chase the high of "due" are the ones that gets into trouble. You also have to have that big bank roll to chase as well. High risk for that little pocket theory once again. If you lose that high risk bet, are you going to hate Orlando forever? Naw mean?

    I can see both sides of the argument. Hawks have been defending the outside shooters really well by not doubling up on howard most of the time, but game 4 was slightly different in the sense that howard had foul trouble early and couldn't contribute much earlier on while the shooters struggled. Magic just need Howard to stay on court and their outside shooters have to improve a little and game 5 will be a different story. But those are 2 big IFs. I willl stay away from this game, apart from maybe Howard point totals.

    They haven't been making their outside shots all year long. It's not going to change. Orlando is simply not a good team.

    terrible spot to play Atlanta ML

    if you've been riding atlanta go ahead and play ATS. Otherwise this game is a pass.

    I think game 5 and 7 are a lock for the magic the hawks will have to win game 6 to win this series

    The thing about these games in my opinion is that home court can turn into a "disadvantage" if Hawks get out to a lead, or are winning late. With all the pressure on Magic to hold serve at home, Hawks can come out free-flowing, no pressure, and still can win at home in game 6 to secure the series if they lose. After losing betting on the Magic in game 1, I was convinced Orlando just isn't as good as the public believe, and rode the Hawks in game 3 and game 4. Sticking with them in Game 5 - think the pressure gets to them and Hawks take it straight-up.

    ATL has covered every game.

    Why not here.

    Yet again you guys out-think yourselves into a losing proposition.
