Vegas telling us to take ATL on Monday

**Wilforth** · 04-26-10, 12:47 AM

Miami still scares me because of their perennial road struggles in the playoffs. If you're taking Charlotte, go ML. They'll either win SU or lose by at least 5 points.

I just don't think the Bobcats will continue to shoot as poorly as they have been in this series.

I don't see a Larry Brown-coached team crawling into a corner and going quietly while being swept away at home. I think they at least get 1.

**goduke** · 04-26-10, 12:55 AM

i absolutely agree with you I think charlotte wins su, atl wins, phx wins but portland covers +6. The last two days I've been 3-1 with my picks, the lakers cost me saturday and nuggets today. I didnt post but I'm hoping that since theres only 3 picks ill go undefeated

**Weaz** · 04-26-10, 01:14 AM

Ill be on the Bucks. The Bradley center was rockin last game and the hawks are a horrible road team. no reason why the bucks shouldnt win this game

So why are they 1.5 point 'dogs after being 1 point faves and routing ATL on Saturday?

Makes no sense.

I usually would think the same about a Larry Brown coached team but I think the prisoners run the institution there. Did you notice when they were down on 2 pts with in 3 minutes and Howard was fouled out they started jacking up 3's.

If there was ever a time to get mad and show some heart that was then. No Howard at the cup and 22% jump shooters heaving up shit. I really have no clue but If I was them i would have been forcing the issue with Howard out of the game. IF I was a player somebody would have to have stopped me.

They may not go quietly but there opportunity to pull out a W was golden Saturday. That game was up for grabs. They were at home, Howard was gone, Jordan is in the front roll and 22% jump shooter are heaving up shit.

Pass for me.

Like Wilforth said..only value here is Charlotte ML imo. They most likely have to win this game to cover here although 4 pts is some cushion but I am not interested because Bobcats are useless...Larry Brown are not.

**initialX** · 04-26-10, 01:23 AM

I like Bucks and Cats too.

Look i dunno but the Bucks have played well against the hawks all year even without bogut. I think the Bucks feed off of there home crowd kind of like the thunder do. If the Bradley Center is rockin like it was on saturday the bucks tie up this series. Thats my oppinion and thats where my money is goin.

**Zubi** · 04-26-10, 01:51 AM

Miami never does anything right!

**Crnjak** · 04-26-10, 02:38 AM

bucks for me!

**PAULYPOKER** · 04-26-10, 03:17 AM

You heard it from me first boys, MIAMI is going to win the Bauston series

**Cuse0323** · 04-26-10, 04:18 AM

Both these games scream stay away. Hopefully I will, but I really like the Bucks and Orlando.

**SparJMU** · 04-26-10, 07:13 AM

Nocoincidences, you are smart to notice the line difference between game 3 and 4, but you are looking at it the wrong way. In general, when a favored opponent opens up a 2-0 lead (CLE, LA, ORL etc) the home team in game 3 will open as a favorite by a few points or a much lesser underdog. Even after that home team wins game 3, no matter what Vegas will lower that line to favor the away team. It happens in every series as the fans are more likely to back the away team to adjust after their recent loss.

Game 3 CLE -3.5 Chicago wins. Game 4 CLE -5 moved to -6
Game 3 OKC -2. OKC wins. Game 4 OKC -2 moves to -1.
Game 3 ATL -1. MIL wins. Game 4 ATL -1.5

In each case, despite losing game 3, Vegas makes the away team a heavier favorite in game 3. It's just the way things work.

**sweethook** · 04-26-10, 07:23 AM

i see that a lot

**shari91** · 04-26-10, 07:32 AM

ORL and MIL for me.

Best of luck today NoC!!

**Diesel79** · 04-26-10, 08:00 AM

Milwaukee

..... last game Atlanta was playing like it was preseason game or something

**poker_dummy101** · 04-26-10, 08:16 AM

im on hawks

**xxxvince** · 04-26-10, 09:41 AM

bucks and under

**napalmrain** · 04-26-10, 09:55 AM

Bucks win tonight

**quick$** · 04-26-10, 10:03 AM

Goodpoint WilForth. I am kinda feeling no sweep will occur in the first round of this playoff.
Makes sense to go ML on Charlotte then. But just on the fence since Orl just dominates them.
Being a pretty good square bettor that I am, my first thought of Orl will blow charl and sweep
them today.....so I will do reverse psych on my own thoughts and take Charl....of course I still
have 8hrs to change my mind.....GL this week.

**FireMedic1614** · 04-26-10, 10:06 AM

orlando 1q and 1h

**jaymac82980** · 04-26-10, 10:48 AM

Hawks and Magic tonight with ease.

The Bobcats are done. I thought it was hilarious when they showed the look on larry browns face when orlando was warming up and joking around. and his quote about them taking the 'cats so serious that they took off practice the day before. haha. Howard has barely played in this series due to foul trouble and the Magic are still winning. Game over tonight.

Atlanta may not be the best road team, but they destroyed the bucks a couple weeks ago in Milwaukee - so they are capable of the road win there. The Buck stops here. <--lame attempt at a pun I know.

They did not destory the bucks. I believe that was milwaukees last home game and they knew they would be playing each other in the playoffs. dont quote me on that one. But i dont think alot of the starters got alot of minutes for either team so i wouldnt go off of that game

**iceminers26** · 04-26-10, 02:19 PM

good luck tonight NC, some interesting lines tonight

**No coincidences** · 04-26-10, 02:20 PM

Adding Phoenix 1st half -4, Phoenix TT 103.5 and PHO/POR over 204.5 to this card.

Also, ORL/CHA over 184.

**pokerpro44** · 04-26-10, 02:23 PM

im all over the bucks.

? why? I don't get why people are so strong on MIL, they played one good game, ATL layed an egg, what are the odds they play horriblely two games in a row.

**sjm5122** · 04-26-10, 03:33 PM

I took atlanta and charlotte tonight, also took the under in the suns/blazers game, seems like everyone is on the over in that one

**rvfrank** · 04-26-10, 04:11 PM

the line is low to invite the favored team money they know they are going to lose thats why the lines are low, this will be another big time blowout by mil

**dmiles1021** · 04-26-10, 04:12 PM

yeah idk about this game line seems too fishy for me ill have to pass

**spider1usa** · 04-26-10, 04:19 PM

hope atl takes this game serious i went with them

**ikamoku** · 04-26-10, 04:26 PM

Actually 62% of the public bets are on atlanta so not everyone is on the bucks. I like them because there at home and because of Brandon Jennings. This guy feasts off of the home crowd. He has the Bucks on his back right now. If he comes to play like i think he will Bucks get a w and send it back to atl 2-2
