Dogs aren't covering

The spread is only +9 (roughly the same as game one) for game two after Atlanta got beatdown in game one

Be careful; the linesmakers know something...and I will be on the dog in this spot.

Yes I know I'm confused though because these are all public bets that are hitting, which never happens the way it has been going...............

**PAULYPOKER** · 05-06-10, 02:42 AM

especially orlando they covered the spread every time but once with public $ on all of them.......... Vegas probably has hits put out on their head

From what I have noticed, no dogs have covered any spreads since Boston beat the cavs. I see this continuing tomorrow. Orlando -9.. They beat Atlanta by 43... They are still going to toy with Atlanta. Orlando is just too dominant a team at home and the hawks on the road are like my highschool team. Good luck!

Seriously?? You're going to draw conclusions from the 4 games that have happened since BOS-CLE? While I don't disagree with your conclusion, this is terrible logic. 4 games is nothing.

4 games is nothing your right... but when your looking at only playoffs its a different story. dogs have not been covering during the playoff stretch. especially in the east. every team plays differently during the playoffs and that is where im a making my conclusions from. its no longer the regular season its either play hard or go home.. or get bailed out by david stern

Dogs usually covering in these games early in the week. The closer you get to Fri-Sat-Sun, the less sharp the lines are getting.

Favorites have been golden so far.

I just don't see hawks keeping it within 9 (9.5) now after a 43 point lead.. You can argue they scored 3rd all time low but losing 43 points and making up for all those points in the same atmosphere and on the road doesn't look good for ATL

That`s cause 5-8 in the east didn't deserve to be in the playoffs...

you could argue that but they ARE in the playoffs and they aren't covering.. if you say that also be reminded that atlanta is close to the top of that list so what makes them cover tonight? they are playing good right now and im not saying they arent going to cover but anything can happen

**goldengoat** · 05-06-10, 08:09 PM

guess the line?

orl -8?

**lakerfan420** · 05-06-10, 09:43 PM

Hawks are done. Time to line up and cash this. I don't care if it's too early they ain't coming back from this.. Not with smith playing as the 6 man on Orlando
