    A Ring for the King - Williams22 Playoff Picks

    Just got home from sitting behind the Cavs bench for Game 1 of the playoffs. Most amazing sporting event I've ever been to.

    I'm tracking my playoff picks in this thread.

    OKC/LA Under 197 - 2 units

    BOL brother. Is there any chance that we could see some pictures from that event?! I'm very curious how the game can be seen from that spot. ( my english isn't very good. )

    Yeah I've been thinking the same thing, but I think the Lakers want to keep this game slow, physical, and ugly.

    I might upload some later. I didn't take too many as I hate missing the action because I'm staring through a lens.

    The Q is by far the craziest arena I've ever been in. The pre-game theatrics are out of control including framethrowers so large that you feel the heat in your seats. I got my tickets for $200 each which was a steal.

    IDK, this is the Hollywood fags were talkin about here, they got no pride or heart or balls just a bunch of pampered sissies.

    True, alright I'll take back the "physical" part. They can't run with OKC though, especially with no bench.

    I'm leaning towards Cavs and 1H Over, but I want some reassurance from a less-biased source before I play the Cavs. Even though the Cavs won by 13 in game 1 they really didn't all that well. They had 18 turnovers which is unusually high for them and shot only 6 for 23 from 3-point territory. They won by 13 because they absolutely dominated Chicago inside with a combination of Jamison/Varejao/Z/Shaq.

    Also, Deng said today he is far from 100% and wouldn't be playing if it weren't the playoffs. I think all signs point to even larger Cavs victory tonight, thoughts?

    I like Cavs to cover as well. I dont forsee another 7 min scoring drought and I also think LeBron will shoot higher % as well. And I also look for Varejao and West to shoot higher, I just have this feeling Cavs will be shooting 50% as a team tonight. One thing that worries me is during th post game interview one of LeBrons first words out of his mouth was "We aren't trying to blow anybody out." I may roll with 1stH as well.

    I think your right Williams. Cavs should win this one by 15 but it does seem too easy. After watching the first game I find it hard to believe that the Bulls will be able to keep it close, they just don't have the offense needed to keep up. I had the bulls +12 in that one and it almost cashed but after the first half blowout it just seemed the Cavs let up. They probably won't do that again, the Bulls had their chance.

    seems like the right play. Cavs have such a major advantage at 4 out of the 5 positions and even then Mo Williams did a good job on rose for most of the game. Good luck I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I am not gonna feel good about backing the Bulls thats for sure. Bulls +11 = heart attack.

    I Agree here with the Cavs -10.5 Play..

    I just done see what people think will happen differently today, other than the OVER hitting??

    I agree, Chicago just doesn't have many weapons.

    I'm leaning under on the game but I'm not sure if I'll pull the trigger. Rose isn't going to go off for much more than 28 and who else will score for the Bulls? Also, the Bulls focus these last two days has been to come out tougher defensively and make the game ugly.

    Awesome picture btw.

    Damn, will, we're on opposites sides, but I took over 191 yesterday for this game. Last game, cleveland put up 96 and played terrible, Lebron and Shaq/Varajoe are the only ones that stepped up and Mo did a little but everyone else who was jacking up threes were way off. Even if Chi puts up 85-90 tonight, I can't see Cleveland putting up less than 105, but let's try and middle the bitch

    Chicago brought a lot more intensity tonight which caused a more uptempo game, killing my under. Glad to see Lebron take over at the end and get me a push on the Cavs bet.

    2-2-1 +1.7 units

    Not fun having your money ride on a team as dumb as Denver can be.

    Boston -1 - 6 units
    Boston knows they have to get this win before going down to Miami.
