Playoffs is not regular season, is all about matchups right ?
i think Indiana will be fine, Was. 2 bigs (gortat and Nene) vs Ind. 2 bigs (Hibert and West).
of course we wil have here others matchups.
One of the major problems of the Bulls were the lack of offensive power. In regular season they can win games playing D, and having less offensive power. Indiana have more players that can score.
What you guys think about this ? we are to discuss basket and profit
Indiana's offense overall is actually not that much better than the Bulls' offense in my mind.Originally Posted by NBA Maniac

However, they do have one thing the Bulls don't - a "star" go-to player late in games. So I don't expect them to struggle as much to score late in games as Chicago did, which cost them game 2 and almost cost them game 3.
I don't really think so. I see Lance giving Beal a tough time. They could try and run him around on off the ball screens but that's not really Beal's game.Won't Stephenson also make plenty of dumb mistakes and gamble for steals which will help Beal get open shots?
hey wizzle, so do you like the wizards now at +4? what do you think?
Still not sure yet paul.hey wizzle, so do you like the wizards now at +4? what do you think?
Bradley Beal Under 17.5 pts -130 (.5x)
Just testing something here. I've mentioned in various threads that I think Lance Stephenson is going to make things really tough on Beal this series. Stephenson is such a high energy player and will play very tight to Beal. Beal is a guy who needs to operate in space but he's not the kind of player who runs off screens like a Ray Allen so I expect him to struggle in this series and for Stephenson to kind of get in his head.
Pacers -4 -107 (3x)
Indiana will play some lockdown defense tonight. Wall impressed me with his shooting last series but he is really not a great outside shooter. It's going to be a lot tougher to penetrate on a defense like the Pacers that likes to pack it in.

there was some money on pacers ML just now at pinny. spread isn't moving though. should be a close finish.
Thunder -5.5 -103 (4x)
Something clicked for OKC and I expect them to continue rolling with the momentum they built in their last two games. If Westbrook plays poised like he did the last couple games, the Thunder will be really tough to beat in this series.
Pacers Series Price -155 (2x)
Good value here. I don't know if the Wizards are quite ready for this stage but it wouldn't shock me to see them winning the series. This play is all about value - I think Pacers win Game 1 so might not get a better price on this bet.
Fuk me, I hate being on opposite of u
T-wizzle like the way you think...
i think the same as you... Indiana team fits well against this Wizards team...time to start watching the ball game
Lol Pacers could have been right back in position to win this game if they could just outrebound Drew Gooden. Pretty pathetic when Drew Gooden is killing you on the offensive glass.
This is why I don't like ppl comparing these up and coming stars like Harden and George to all time greats like Wade. A couple months ago "critics" were saying that Paul George is better than Carmello Anthony, a week later they change their mind. The better player is the guy who you'd rather have in a 7 game series in the playoffs, it's that simple

All he wants to do anymore is stepback jumpers. He dribbles around for 5+ seconds and shoots a long fadeaway. If he would just change speeds he'd get to the rim with ease against some of these defenders. I never put him into that upper echelon but I felt early in the year he was on the verge of becoming a top 5 player within a year or so.
i am such a lucky b*tch i just hit Indiana (+7.5) LIVE lol
