NBA Daily Picks

[Love The Action]

I'm with you on the totals, but I'm rolling with the road dogs. I know you say that game four presents a better opportunity for the road dogs, and that would follow traditional NBA wisdom, however, I think this year there are additional factors at play; namely, the Mavs superior road record and ability to pull out road wins and the fact that the Bulls rarely lose back-to-back games (not since February, in fact). The Mavs are veteran laden team that know what it takes to win on the road, while the Bulls make the needed adjustments to avoid back to back losses.

When you take those factors, apply a little zig-zag and add in the intangibles of both of these teams needing to respond to a home loss, I think that gives me enough to roll with the road dogs here.

Good luck...can't wait for these games! Nice call on the Boston/Cubs game too...

dallas at okc
renewal of defensive efforts is underway by both teams, we can expect fg % return to 43% or less, whilst westbrook benched in game 2 could lead to a disruptive issue for okc, but return home with a level 1-1 still make them in driver's seat in this series. They are physical and deep enough interior to hold out the mavs at home in game 3.

Kd will step up and maintain the lead in scoring department, he had shown he can deliver a knock out in critical moment despite difficult look at the basket from outside or high screen. Harden is questionable with head injuries, but they will reach deep to another bench player to step up if needed.

take okc -1.5 at the half
take okc -2.5
total under 201.5

[ATTACH]28091[/ATTACH]

Ref's profile is a slight lean toward over, but average total range ~197<200.5. So this could be in for another one of them sharp line right here.

verdict: under 200.5 is still good. Thunderbird are go.

No love for Brett Myers today, huh? He pitched really well last time out and it's tough to take Morrow with all that juice...

Good luck on all of your plays...let's get this Dal/OKC under!!!

Good call on Toronto. Brett Myers did his job. Houston just showed why they suck giving up over 6 runs in the final three innings. Houston was leading 4-0 and Myers was rolling...put in the Stros bullpen and it all falls apart. Good call

[Love The Action]

Great day yesterday Kob! Keep it up...

I'm rolling with the Bulls (+5) 6.5x, Bulls ML (+180) 1.5x and the over (179) for 2.5x.

I will have my writeup on this game later this morning, but I wanted to hear your take. I'm rolling with the Bulls because I don't see the Bulls losing two in a row here and I think the large spread provides some good value. The Bulls typically make the adjustments necessary to avoid two straight losses. Plus, Rose typically does not have bad games b2b. I think Thibs impresses upon the Bulls the importance of this game and they will play with the sense of urgency necessary to prevail. You mention talent, but the Bulls have the talent up front to win the rebounding battle, get the second chance points necessary to win and generally just dominate the paint. It's all up to the Bulls outside of Rose. If Deng, Boozer, Noah, Korver, Brewer/Bogans can have a decent game, the Bulls should win. I expect that to happen because they played so poorly in game 2. As you say, this is the playoffs, and so far in these playoffs, home court advantage has proven to be fickle. Just look at Dallas yesterday.

Thanks for your thoughts above...can you expand a little on why you like Miami with such a big number? Good luck on all of your plays today! Let's cash this over!

right from the word go, I felt the Heats is a better team (I had my take & seen similarity of this team & 1990's Bulls had proven two key players & a busted up roster can go a long way) simply on talent and had won a sound series against Philly & Boston, & I don't even like them heats.

& just think for a minute where in the east this year of what happen ? if Bulls face Boston instead, can Bulls past Boston ? can you seriously think Boston would lose in 5, or 6 or even 7 in this case.

you can't compare home court scenario between east & west series, they are two different, east play more defensive oriented, with few exception: Lakers.

what happen in game 2 & 3 in the west was a joke, Dallas needed a collapse game 2 in order to played better defense in game 3 ?, why can't they do that in game 2 ? unless they must spent the entire time watch the tape for Marion to finally know how to read OKC's passing lane. The Mavs' coach had knew full well that they had played terrible D & yet nothing was improved in game 2 & sure enough they had loss.
Game 3, I conceded, not a million year I expected OKC to play like that at home, defensive we know it will toughness & lower scoring, but while they knew full well Dal will come back strong to reclaim their loss home court, it doesn't make sense but there it was.

back with the Bulls-Heats, I think the heats is a better team, I can't see them like OKC in the west, I can't see Bulls will do what the Mavs did. But we'll know it today,

at least we can agree it's an over total, let's go with that
good luck with the rest of your plays

Dallas at OKC
Finally The Mavs hit the switch & shut OKC blank, took a 2-1 lead in the series, and in the process they had won that psychological cornerstone. Once again if they can hold OKC below 100 points they chance of winning is significant better in game 4 than game 3 as clock runs down OKC will pressure themselves to be overly aggressive, force unnecessary actions and commit turn overs.

Now that each team had won on the road, the blood is in the water & it's on. Physical defense will play a big part from this point on of the series until Dallas return home for one last final game. We therefore with a very high probability to see another consecutive low scoring game.

Predicting W/L of NHL at this point is a 50/50 at best, as there's no clear home court or rather road advantage in most cases.

Take total over 5.5

[MrXYZ]

I'm leaning the over with a total of 198-201, however another poor shooting display from Durant & co could sink it. I agree with you about it being a physical, defensive type game, would add that possibly Chandler/Perkins get ejected. But this would mean fouls & that might get both teams over 100. Game 4 is a crazy one to predict, we'll either see 2-2 or 3-1 at the end, so anything could happen. Good luck with your picks & congrats on hitting Heat & over today, great work!

This could be a pitch dueling game between Buchholz & Masterson, as both came off strong performances in their last game. However at home, Indians is strong at bat against right hand pitch despite miss some key players, so look out.

Chicago at Miami
It's time to take care of business at home & catch an earlier flight to a practice facilities in Chicago.
While Erik Spoelstra is working as the front shell coach but the man who review and make major chances to game plan behind the scene is still, Mr Pat Railey. The big three has regular ongoing meeting with the man. He's in attendance all the playoff games & amongst the crowd at home and on the road so he can feel the games in close up and at different angle as possible. As team president he has a small stake in the team ownership and it's fair to say that he'll go out his way and make it happens to bring 2nd title to south beach and ensure Bron and his friends finish their career here.

The Heats is moved a step closer to the finals. The league's office has every reason to celebrate as TV rating is gone through the roof as at least one big market team is heading to the finals. Happy days are here again, it's never been better since Jordan's era.

Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.
Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games.
Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite.

Heat are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest.
Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Under is 6-1 in Bulls last 7 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5.
