Let's talk Raptors-Nets

I still feel Toronto takes one in Brooklyn. While we're making analogies how about this one and Celtics/Sixers 2 years ago? I mean it's not comparable in the sense that the Celtics had homecourt and the Nets don't but I like the young team to make it a series while everyone is already preparing for a showdown between the old team and the Heat like the Sixers did back then.

On top of that this Raptors team is probably better than those Sixers were. They have 2 go-to scorers in the clutch. Holiday wasn't yet big time that year so Sixers didn't really have anyone to go to.

Everyone is making a big deal out of the Nets' record the 2nd half of the season but I think the Raptors are only a game or 2 behind them in that timeframe.

To me the difference is Deron Williams. He looks good to me right now. Just seems to have his quickness back. I think we're going to learn a lot from this game.

He's not shooting it well for now though in the 2 games (37%). You expect a breakout game from him?

I think Joe Johnson is their best player. But their offense isn't constructed for any one guy to score a lot of points really.

Raptors+5 -108 (5dimes) (risking 2.16x to win 2x)
Raptors/Nets largest lead under 16 (ladbrokes) (risking 2x to win 1.67x)

Bulls+1.5 -105 (5dimes) (first half) (risking 2.1x to win 2x)

I really like the Raps to steal one in BKN, but this starting to look like the 2007 Raptors vs Nets series. Lose Game 1, Win game 2 in a close game and then get blown out in Games 3 and 4. I really hope history does not repeat itself, as I am a huge Raps fan. It's also funny that 6 dogs have covered in a row, and I like all the dogs again tonight (Raps, Bulls, and Rockets).

I like Houston sort of as well but I can't trust these bums. Plus which I was leaning Portland yesterday not like I have a strong opinion on this game.

Good way to bounce back. Do you think pacers are done?

Yup good day. Bad break on Bulls+1.5 1H but lucky on Raptors+5 so it evens out I guess.

Yes I do. I think I'm taking Atlanta tomorrow. That may be my only bet of the day actually.

Hawks+2.5 -114 (sportingbet) (overtime NOT included) (risking 2.85x to win 2.5x)

Seto...why the nets? I thought you'd love the Raps tonight. I feel like the Raptors will even up the series tonight. I'm with you on the Wiz though.

I thought Raps could give them a good go before the series but having watched 3 games it appears to me they are outmatched. Looks like they had a good start let's see what happens.

Hawks prop bets should be good.

[Seto]

Hawks prop bets should be good.

I hope to cash at least the 1st one. I'm basically going the same way as Warriors the other day except I'm putting 5 units instead of 8 on the normal line cause it's the Hawks, I dunno I don't feel as if I can go 8 units on them however strongly I feel about the game.

Hitting two -20.5's in a row would be sick.

Thursday could be a monster day for me if everything goes right because there's a chance I could go heavy on a couple other games depending on what happens tonight and how I feel that day.

[Seto]

I despise totals and have only bet one all year (funnily enough also a Bulls under, which nearly got fukked by OT but cashed), but yeah the under tonight in Chicago looks good. This could be the game of this series that is really played at their pace (kinda like the 2nd half of game 2 where there were only 182 pts in regulation despite a 100+ 1st half iirc).

Now I've been really impressed by the Wizards' resilience in this series and would not be surprised if they gutted this one out even if the game is played at snail's pace.

[Seto]

Wizards/Bulls under 183 -107 (5dimes) (risking 1.61x to win 1.5x)
Wizards/Bulls under 92 -105 (5dimes) (first half) (risking 1.58x to win 1.5x)

[KRIT]

Can't wait to see the Hawks finish off those sorry Pacers tomorrow.

Oh man, Will Hill has that -20.5 at 35/1

[Seto]

Oh man, Will Hill has that -20.5 at 35/1

20/1... The 1st half -20.5 is at 35/1

[unitedlad]

Ah right, my bad.

Good luck with your bets man!
