Under 187.5. I teased Detroit and SA (both down to 2) for about 7.5 units, so I'll be staying away from the side. My gut feeling is that the line should be Spurs by 4.5 or so, considering the importance for Utah.

Not taking anybody because of futures concerns, but if not for that, the Jazz would be my largest wager of the playoffs to date.

Not playing this one, but I would probably take the points.

Razz, if you feel that strongly about the game, you should have at least a semi-large wager on Utah and the points. All you're saying is that Utah will win or they'll lose by less than 7. Considering you're of the opinion that Utah wins tomorrow, you're essentially getting 7 free points. And as for futures, how does game 2 really impact your future bets (which are already placed--sunk costs at this point).

I'm going to sound like a donkey saying this, and well, I probably am. Considering the way some of these OT playoff games have been going, I don't want to put myself in the position of a tie game with ten seconds left and the Spurs having the last shot.

I was fvcked on the under the other night but was lucky for the spurs cover.

I would lean to the points but am still undecided for a team I would consider following the under again.

I'm also staying away from the side as well and teased both games. Hard to cover these lines especially when taking the favs. It's either to the wire or a blowout

Aloha Hawaiian time, one needs to reach various posting quotas or plateaus and their desgnation then changes. I think your first ranking change happens at one hundred posts and the next one at 250 and then 500 etc. If you want to know the way it works for certain, I would suggest posting your question in 'Player's Talk' and one of the forum administrators such as Sean will refer you to all the info you're looking for. Good luck and nice to have you on board!

The game is sold out, I believe, Razz. If not, the only seats available are the bloodiest of the nose-bleeds. I think the lack of star power and excitability is obviously the main cause. The sad thing is that this is a very exciting series to true NBA fans. Two very well coached teams who execute their systems to perfection... I mean, there is no Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Nash, etc. but the Williams-Okur-AK-47-Boozer (almost forgot Boozer) quartet is pretty damn good. Too bad the casual NBA fan isn't aware (thanks in large part to the TV schedules that rarely put the Jazz on the screen).

By the way, I still have no idea on how to play the total, though I lean under 188. As for the line, as stated earlier, I have SA teased to -2 (along with Detroit at -2 which hit) so I'll stay away from the side. May hit the Jazz 1st quarter though.
