Hawks +8.5 -110 and ML +365 in Game 1

[lakerboy]

I foresee the Hawks coming into Orlando and winning this game. I think +8.5 is outrageous. Orlando is nowhere near the team they were just last year even. The hawks could even win this series imo. Anyways i like the Hawks to cover the spread and will make a shot at the game. This line is way off.

Hawks +8.5 -110 (5x)

Hawks ML +365 (1x)

I will keep all my playoff plays in this thread for the 2011 playoffs.

Good luck to everyone.

Well Said, I think 8 points is crazy. I will also take that pick Atlanta +8.5 Before it changes to +5 on Saturday!

[Shafted69]

ORL will get knocked out the 1st round. With Howard brickin FTs, they prolly won't cover a single game.

[HoulihansTX]

ATL owes Magic 8x over.

[lakerboy]

please dont agree with me.

[louvega71]

sounds good to me

[HoulihansTX]

The way ATL has limped into the playoffs will keep me from betting them.

Plus the fact that team is headless, in other words they have no leader and quit on coaches.

Any team that is willing to be swept two years in a row, to the same team is leaderless w/o any heart.


If Magic lose this series, then this will be the last year of the Magic as we know them. Everyone will be fired, and Howard would be on the first plane out of Florida.

No way... you picking an UGLY UNDERDOG? I'm so shocked

I think you mean everyone BUT Howard.

[NY Playa]

good analysis.....

[NY Playa]

i like the pts especially in game 1.

[Brian891]

No, i think he meant howard would be on first plane out of florida headed to charlotte or another team. i dont think hawks should be getting 8.5, but this team was terrible this season also. their young talent has regressed instead of improved, and i cant see wagering on them. the hawks disappeared in last years playoffs after struggling in 1st round, and i think they will exit early again.

[HoulihansTX]

I think you mean everyone BUT Howard.

He has yet to resign, and I dont see him doing it.

Magic are in Salary cap Hell, as they traded one bad contract for the next in Arenas. At least Lewis' contract was set to expire in a couple of years, but they are stuck with Arenas for 5 more years. It was a horrible move by Otis Smith, but he is the GM not me.

[FindTheLock]

check the injuries, illnesses, and trades for more accurate data on the magic hawks series this season. The tale is not in the tape in this series. I've never seen an NBA team play very well one night, and then lose by 50 the next night as much as the hawks have. You just never know which hawks team is going to show up.

[gtboy]

take orlando boys. blow out games here.

[bleek88]

this wont happen, you want it to though.

[kobstopa]

Orlando can get up at home, winning 10 points is not that hard, they're sort of a bang up but remember each team got a few days of resting & to prepare, they're a 3's shooting team, & they can too make a 3 points play in the middle. Having said that, consider this game a very physical one, and a solid history with defensive match up. Therefore alternative play here is under 188.

good luck everyone.

[SR]

No chance on that ML, I would take it +600 or better on spec. However 8.5 is too much for sure, 6 point game, ATL cashes.

[phillybadboy]

philadelphia plus points

[No coincidences]

Inmates run the prison in Atlanta.

Orlando's a dysfunctional mess since the trade.

Both teams have horrible "coaches."

I wouldn't bet this game/series if you held a gun to my head.

You lost your credibility when you said stan van gundy is a horrible coach.

[DANO74]

Alot of people seem to be underestimating Orlando & overestimating the Hawks...Magic win 4-2

[breathmints]

Kevin anderson heating up..and u got arenas he gonna show off in playoffs..magic are a little slow but they wont lose series..the almost beat the bulls

[madrabbit]

the hakws are filth. Orlando cover.

[jacer333]

Ok LB, I'll go ahead and disagree with you....

Do you recall Atlanta's playoff performances in the last couple years? HORRID.

Laying any kind of money on ATL in the postseason is an awful idea.

excuse my bad, under 179.5 is the right one.

[NardVa]

Atlanta is good enough to go to Orlando and steal game one but they could also to Orlando and get beat by 20. Atlanta will quit if the game gets out of hand early. When they don't show up they don't show up.

exactly. Not to mention this year theyre even worse than other years. The hawks suck. Big time.

[blowseq]

i like this play. BOL LB

[Fed_42420]

Isn't atlanta like 3-1 over orlando this year? I'm not sure on that have to check

[madrabbit]

they are but that doesnt concern me tbh. Magic will smash them.

[riskyProps]

The Hawks might be able to even win SU.

[Cinquefoil]

I hope everyone feels as the OP does and the line drops, although I doubt it. The Hawks have been sneakily really, really bad the the past few months.

[sweetjones55]

Like the play, Good luck LB
