    Spurs +117 for the series is a steal
    books are off on this one fellas

    Suns will not match up to San Antonio's experience, energy and defensive tenacity

    Spurs will advance

        True odds should be Spurs to advance -120 imo. +120 for Spurs is just too much.

        Team is everything, Let's go Spurs!

        Defence & Experience will win..

                              good luck to you, I like phoenix as a team, they play fast basketball and are very enthousiastic

                              but I think spurs can take it with experience

                              phoenix in the west conf finals sounds a bit like an oxymoron

                                I think experience wins over speed in this series. I like the Spurs pick here.

                                    I really don't understand why the Spurs series price is getting so much love here. I'm personally on the Suns, but even if I favoured the Spurs, +117 would not be appealing to me for a series that will go 6+ games most likely. Anything you spend on the series price can be put to much better use playing the individual games.

                                            I agree- the +117 has zero value- zero. Wait and you can get much better value- heck if you like the spurs take them tonight or the next game on the ml- you can good odds tonight. Folks still think this suns team is the same old shit- they arent the same team as in the past- they are very focused.

                                              A steal if you think they will win, but not if you don't.

                                                The most reasonable approach if you like San Antonio is to play the exact series results. If they win, the most likely outcome is a win in 6 or 7 games. Currently, the prices are:

                                                Spurs in 5: +1000
                                                Spurs in 6: +335
                                                Spurs in 7: +583
                                                *Prices taken from 5Dimes.

                                                Played in combination, you can produce a higher return than +117.

                                                Combo 1
                                                Spurs in 6 (+335): 1.57u to win 5.26u
                                                Spurs in 7 (+583): 1.00u to win 5.83u


                                                If either one wins, you guarantee a net profit 4.26u from an investment of 2.57u which is equivalent to playing the series at (+166).

                                                Combo 2
                                                Spurs in 5 (+1000): 0.26u to win 2.6u
                                                Spurs in 6 (+335): 1.57u to win 5.26u
                                                Spurs in 7 (+583): 1.00u to win 5.83u


                                                If the Spurs win in 5 you break even, and if they win in 6 or 7 games, you gain a net profit of 4.0u for an equivalent series price of (+141).

                                                The +117 is bullshit. Don't fall for it.

                                                  why do a +117 series bet when the moneyline for them tonight alone is +170? Makes no sense.

                                                        Spurs roll on... +117 looks like a gift of free money!

                                                          if the spurs win it will be in 6, they wont beat phoenix twice on the road so get the +340ish. I also think the suns are too bad to win on the road seeing how they give up close to 18 more points per game on the road than home

                                                              First game is crucial for Phoenix. I don't think SA is gonna be as forgiving as Portland if they go 0-1 down. Homecourt may be the decider in this series IMO.

These geezers can't run with the Suns, who look like teenagers with their energy in comparison to the Spurs. Hope Duncan doesn't break a hip trying to match Stoudemire shot for shot.
