Portland -4 over the Houston Rockets looks good...

[SportsTerminator]

I think this might be the best play out of all the games. I expect the Rockets to get blown out in Portland. Anyone agree?

[dennisback]

hmm i dont last time it took a 40foot buzzer beater by roy to win vs rockets! and they lost 1 of other 2 meetings with double digits

[PorkChop]

I don't expect a blow up, but the Rose Garden during Game 1 of the playoffs, will be one of if not the best atmosphere in the NBA this weekend.

Love the pick!

[csimmalavong]

i dont know about this, and the whole series as matter of fact.

i think spurs -4 is safer.

[peeiempee]

They ended the season hot, I'm gonna be all over it. I just want the line to go down a little more before I do. Think line will go up or down?

[King_Bookie]

The safest bet out of these 4 games is actually DET @ CLE-12.

1. Rose Garden is not where you want to be when you're a road team but Houston has Portland's number for years. (LEAN PORTLAND IF YOU HAVE TO PICK)
2. Chicago as a Dark Horse against the ailing Celtics (STAY AWAY)
3. San Antonio even when plagued with injuries turns into some kind of beast come playoffs (another good play, perhaps)
4. Cleveland lost to the patethic 76ers AT HOME. Expect a statement to be made in the first game.

Bookie... Are you kidding me? All of the Cav's starters sat last night so why would you mention that when their bench almost beat the Sixer's starting 5

I'm big on Cleveland. 12 points is a gift from the Gods. Detroit is offensively challenged and will be lucky to score 80 points. I'm on the Cav's large. Take Detoilet at your peril.

[King_Bookie]

Eh? Didnt you see my pick?

CLE -12

Expect a statement to be made by Lebron and the guys in their first game of this year's playoffs. And a loss is a loss, I don't care if they sat out every goddamn player in the roster but it doesnt remove the fact that they didnt win. That should say something about player management.

Looks good.

[j0hnnyv]

lol that last loss to the sixers is a total nonfactor.

My Bad...It sounded like you were going with Detroit, especially when you list Det first, plus by saying that Cleveland played poorly. Let's cash this bitch.

[dennisback]

Detroit will cover with ease i saw the last game @ cle they played very well and even had a tie game at half. And they had 10 more rebounds while shooting only 35%/ 3P-26,7% / FT 68% they still only lost in the last 4 minutes. And although they had 9 more TOs the game stayed very close till very end.

[King_Bookie]

The last game @ cle it wasnt the playoffs.

[dennisback]

yes so what the pistons have even much more experience in playoffs... taking detroit +12 big and detroit ML small.
And that was a game where both teams had best roaster and played very HARD to get a win midway in the season.

[Vincepcion]

I like DET +12 too, but betting them ML is burning money IMO

[ZBOIZ]

Detroit plus 12 looks the best to me!!

But could be a public sucker bet...


and Portland looks good at home

[SportsTerminator]

Cleveland -12 may be a little too much. I would take take the +12 if I was playing on this.

[secret007]

playoff is coming..

so far, i like these plays eventhough more researches are needed:

1) Utah 1st half
2) Denver- 6
3) Portland -4
4) Dallas +4
5) Philaldelphia

[TORONTOBBALL]

ceveland gonna do what they did to boston. watch for that 29-9 1Q. ceveland -12 all the way to the bank

[frostno98]

I think this is where Portland inexperience catches up with them. I like Houston winning the series. I think Portland would of fair out better against San Antonio.
