    Pacers should win..right?

    Pacers have to feed off defense and turnovers. Half court offense is suspect to say the least. Paul George has to contain Teague and that happens. Vogel has seen the light.. This may be a coin flip but Indiana is more talented. Remember Atlanta had the worst record coming into the playoffs.

    Anyone like to discuss before I parlay that ML with Memphis +8? Pretty big play of mine and I'm still waiting to confirm..

    Memphis controlled game 2. A much better team at home. It will be close but it's also not guaranteed.

    Pacers are so up and down right now I would think really hard before making a big play on them. The Hawks are a very tough matchup for them, especially their bigs. Also Memphis is at +2 unless you're buying that many points.

    $380 pays $479. I hit pretty good the last few days so this is profit for the playoffs. It's a risk but I like the way both teams are playing. George will not let Teague control the game. Penetration is what is killing Indiana.

    Can't see Pacers winning this one, but the 4th game, will be close imo.

    Locked in. I have to pick my spots and I feel good about Memphis. Pacers is the soft spot in the parlay. You'll know from the start, IMO, if defense is played with high intensity and George is on Teague.

    OK, Pacers were completely flat in game 1 and the 1st half of game 2. second half they woke up and controlled the game vs. Hawks. But, maybe the Hawks were just happy to tip the balance and take away home court, kind of like Brooklyn. Can you really trust the Indy Fakers the way they have played the past 6 weeks??? You would have to ask yourself that question. I don't trust them @ all. Hibbert still sucks and George is a ball hog. Atlanta is younger faster and hungry, tough call. BOL. Just one losers thoughts from me.

    I definitely can see your point. George does need the ball in his hands alot but he also should facilitate, Ball movement. Swing the ball and let hibbert get offensive rebounds. George hill has been terrible but can shoot in rhythmn. Ball movement and good defense is the key for the pacers. Best player on the court with the best defense. Same recipe as Miami but the other

    Momentum. Pacers were hungry for a win in Gm 2 and they got it. Now the pressure is on the Hawks to come up with a win after big defeat + home court.

    I think pacers on the road is better for them not much pressure. and honestly atl crowd sucks.
    I predict pacers by 7

    1st half hawks
    pacers dominate 2nd half

    Hawks 1st half is the strongest play IMO. Even at their best, the Pacers were never that strong of a 1st half team.

    Dunno about pacers. Scola was huge for them and went off for 20 points in game 2. I doubt he does that again. Also, when was the last time the pacers beat a decent team on the road? I'm not confident in them, but you never know.

    Very much like Miami, second half/4th quarter team all year, when the give a hoot. LOL. Similar to game #2, for Pacers. Miami didn't give a hoot in their second half, they could have blown them out, but held on last night.

    Hawks 1st half winner. If they don't pick up the pace they will prob lose though.

    Pacers defense had been good even giving up a few 3s but the offense is just terrible. Can they run a damn play?!

    Intensity on defense!! I can't lie until just now I felt Atlanta had the game.. 79-74, 4 point game with about 6 to go. Scola and Stevenson. Contain Teague.

    Unfortunately, you just can't trust the Indiana Fakers. There is really something wrong in that club house???

    They just might pull something out in Gm 4. Btw, these Hawks home games are so painful to watch. Every fykin possesion there is annoying music playing in the background

    Atlanta +2 would have won, Memphis UNDER wouldn't, GSW+2 would have been a push. Tbh, I like your teasers, you bet on-nice slow steady progress is all u need.
