Nice lineup with Durant at 5. Brooks is a great coach.

No surprise as far as this third quarter goes. I knew if Spurs got out of their high pace that they'd struggle to score.

The Thunder know how to defend the pick and roll but San Antonio's floor spacing is not good right now. I look for them to get back to a 2 man game in the pick and role and then swing the ball off help to open shooters. They will settle into their offense in the fourth.

Took SA -4.5 live, hope for a good 4th qtr

What? Ginobili just torched them on the pick and roll. Steven Adams isn't nearly as fast as Ibaka or Collison to try and defend it.

Parker has basically gotten nothing in the pick and roll. His points were in transition and just beating his man off the dribble.

**t-wizzle** · 05-19-14, 10:24 PM

Bang. That'll do it.

Good start to the Conference Finals.

**BigDofBA** · 05-19-14, 10:24 PM

Back to the drawing board. Going small wont work. Too many easy baskets.

Some cheap calls on the thunder as well. Spurs scored like 70+ in the paint. Can't win without Ibaka.

**BigDofBA** · 05-19-14, 10:31 PM

If OKC plays well they lose by 7-10.

They have by game three to figure it out.

**Pauulzcappin** · 05-19-14, 10:33 PM

I think Spurs probably cover game 2 as well. Brooks is a slow adjuster.

Didn't somebody say that would happen pal?

Probably but too early to say.

Yeah that guy that said the Spurs wouldn't win two rounds....hell, they're probably going to win it all.

I am really thinking about taking the Pacers tomorrow.

Lol BigD you've been trying to prove me wrong ever since that 2012 Finals argument we had. But it's all good. I don't come here for boring conversations anyway.

Yea I'm thinking about Pacers too. It's a really ballsy play. But I will take it if I feel like it's the right side.

I have a gut feeling Indy wins.

After I sleep, Tomorrow when I log in, I will probably play the Heat.

**europe_baller** · 05-19-14, 11:56 PM

well the game played out just like i thought it would... i still think okc will give them some trouble but it will be hard to win series for okc...okc is not going to outscore them..if they can keep spurs below 100 they have shot at winning game..

Tomorrow's game is so damn difficult. I feel like Indiana is the play, but it's almost wrong to bet against the Heat coming off a loss in the playoffs, especially down 0-1.

Good to see you posting again TWizzle.

**t-wizzle** · 05-20-14, 10:34 AM

Pacers +2.5 -105 (3x)

I planned on waiting until tip thinking if I decided to roll with Indy that I could maybe get a 3. That doesn't look like it's going to be the case as most shops are back down to 2.

I'm still somewhat undecided on this game but like I've been saying the last few days, I just have a feeling that Indy could go up 2-0 here. And like I've been saying, it wouldn't be the end of the world for Miami.

If I decide to buy out or flip sides, I still have that option. I also think it's important to note that Miami could easily win this game and not cover which is why I am placing a premium on trying to get the best number here.

**AchillesTG** · 05-20-14, 10:43 AM

The last two times Miami was in a must win situation against Indy, they covered easily. I hope I don't jinx myself or anyone else, but I don't think the difference between -2 to -3 is that big of a deal.

I get this logic and I capitalized on it but that doesn't mean it will definitely happen again.

Again, this is a big game. BUT, it's not a must win situation.

**BadLuckSanta** · 05-20-14, 10:55 AM

Lebron 27-3 in playoff games officiated by Joe Crawford.

Guess who is reffing tonight?

Series tied going to Miami. Pacers pull out game 3.

you grabbed a good number. should be 1.5 at gametime then i'll be really a bit worried about miami.

**t-wizzle** · 05-20-14, 12:57 PM

This might be a good game to live bet Paul.

Yeah. Pretty sure you will be able to get both teams at + money.

I still like Heat to win it though. I think Indiana played way above their heads.

you dont have a public book? i can almost guarantee a bovada/sia will have 3.5 later...

i feel like mia also wins the game but indy covers...

Nah. Not interested in getting tied up with multiple books.

Pacers Series Price has steadily dropped all day. Been watching those odds like a hawk.

so taking the pacers here seem like the obvious move, right?

I just take a lot of these things into consideration bro. I've said since Sunday, I can see Pacers going up 2-0. It doesn't really mean anything. Miami would likely take care of business at home and then we have a 3 game series.

pacers are hungry

a lot of late money coming in on Miami

Not really amrit. Certainly some late money though.

Like I said earlier though - I think there's a strong possibility that the number is very sharp.

I think it comes down to the wire. Liked getting the 2.5 at +100.

Btw, Heat getting way too many ticky tack calls go their way.
