New to SBR but I've been pretty hot during the playoffs so I thought I would start sharing some of my picks on here with all of you. Will post my picks tomorrow afternoon...

Just looking at early lines, I'm leaning towards the Magic -6.5 and the Lakers +2.5 with both teams looking to sweep
Further write-up coming tomorrow, feel free to comment..Comment -
Magic -7
Gotta keep riding the Magic. The first three games of the series just showed that the Hawks really have no answer for the Magic on either end of the floor. The Hawks have typically been a strong home team, but after getting booed off their home court in a game 3 blow out, they simply looked deflated and defeated, and not interested in trying to get back in the game. They know the series is over, and I don't think they will put up much of a fight. Take the Magic here.
Lakers +2.5
Championship teams win on the road, and I think LA will do it again and finish this series on Utah's home court. I think Game 3 was Utah's best shot to win in this series. The Jazz seemed to execute their defensive strategy exactly how they wanted by shutting down LA on the inside, and the Lakers ended up beating them at their own game with outside shooting. While that may be their plan again, I don't see the LA big men getting shut down like that again. Take LA on the road.Comment -

Celtics +7.5
Seems like a lot of people are going with the Cavs to cover tonight. I'm going with the Celtics. I think that the Cavs are going to have a much better offensive output at home than the 87 points they put up in game 4, but with their uncertainty on the defense with how to stop and who to put on Rondo is going to allow the Celtics to keep pace. Rondo has shown so far in the playoffs his amazing ability to run the offense, finding open teammates and mismatches, and putting LeBron on him is just going to create new mismatches for him. The Celtics were expecting a defensive change to happen at some point in the series and will be ready for it. The Celtics have a shot to win this game, but will at least keep it close with both teams putting up just over 100 points. For that reason I'm also leaning toward the OVER 194 as I expect the total to be 200+.
Just my opinion, if anyone is even reading these...Comment -

pho will beat lakersComment -
Series ends in Boston tonight. The Cavs confidence is fading. Once the Celtics get a lead, the Cavs start to panic and take bad shots from outside. Boston continues to put up big numbers on offense and win it at home.
Celtics -1.5

Celtics +7
Like the Celtics this afternoon. The Magic dominated their first two series against lesser opponents but Boston is going to be a different story. These teams played each other tough during the regular season and I think it's going to happen again this afternoon, and Boston is going to have a shot to win this game. The Celtics defense is going to be a lot tougher than anything the Magic have seen in the last 8 games. Also liking the Under at 188. Going to be a tough scoring game.Comment -
