[7secondsOrLess]

[Snowball]

youve got a great point, gl tonight snowman

thanks buddy we all need luck
going to watch the games

[Snowball]

guys, I'm going for more Dallas here.
the line is falling.
i already liked Dallas because I believe they are the better team, and will play like hell
to dispel the ghosts of the last loss at Portland which is eating at them.
They are a solid bet tonight to kill some internal demons.

add: $300/495 Dallas (165)

[Snowball]

add another $200/330 on Dallas ML
i wanna win some $.. f it.

- for a team facing elimination, Orlando played with zero intensity
for the first 3 quarters of that game. all first half they were sleepwalking.
team needs a spark. get rid of arenas, he's a bum.

They need to fire Ron Jeremy while they're at it.

Turkoglu ? yeah, send his ass packing.
JJ Reddick is better than him.
oh, you mean Van Gundy.. lol yeah they both look like Ron Jeremy.

[7secondsOrLess]

I had a little on the opening line and when the Blazers went up in the first quarter I managed to get +8 (-108) and ML +319. And as soon as Johnson dragged Dirk down like that I became VERY confident that Dallas will not let this game slip away from them. Dallas is not going to be denied tonight.

[Snowball]

great grab, suicidekings ! took guts. This Dallas team is not to be denied tonight.
Putting those inner demons to bed.. stepping up for their pride..
Total contrast between this play we've seen tonight from Dallas
and what we saw from Orlando. Orlando had no heart, they were the Tin Men
and Mavs are Lionhearts. When Beaubois and Caron Butler come back they could
give the Lakers a run for their money, and should walk all over Memphis/San An.
Let's Get It. Hey Portland we never promised you a Rose Garden !

$110/100 2nd Half Dallas +4.5 (-110)

Dedicated to Portland Fans:

[suicidekings]

Bam! Huge night.

[No coincidences]

Way to make that Magic money back Snow.

[Vulcan300]

aw yea, cash that mavs ticket like a boss.

[Snowball]

+$336 last night, overall +$3247.
almost half these winnings are already invested in Celtics to win East.
carrying this 3-team teaser forward to Sunday:
$200/280 5pt Teaser: LA -0.5, Dallas +9.5, Boston +9.5

will have a play tonight, not sure yet what.

[ufcmma36]

great job last night keep up the great work

[Snowball]

$900/693 5pt Teaser: San Antonio +8, Over 184
$220/200 Over 189 (-110)

[Snowball]

anyone with me on this tease or do i have to make $ alone

[NBA_Brosuf]

Tease is good. I'll take SA +8 and I don't mind taking the over at 184.

Now at 189 to 190, I'm taking the under. LOL

the touts are on the under.. LANG, Burns, others..
but I think the baskets fall more often than is surmised.
Really the teaser is only there to grab the 8. o/u is up to you
we can both win.. but Over is my preference at 184
Spurs will be hucking those 3's up.

What I'm getting at is even after everyone shoots their average (no OT extra point was included in my findings), except for gino and a few other folks, the score at the end of regulation is at 194 total. If today's total is at 189-190, to get it over, it means that everyone must shoot their average or beyond for it to hit.

Odds stacking against you for it to happen. In any other game yes but this is the final countdown game. Where is the defense in the final show down? Is history going to repeat itself? Gino getting another 30 when his playoff average is only 17?

I'll willing to lose if everyone had a ball of a game. In other words, yall defense sux azz. My bottom line.

190 is 95 points for both teams. 95 points is a gang load of points and this is the playoff, not regular season.

Lets see what happen after the game. All this talk by me is just funny talking only. LOL

[MrXYZ]

Good luck today guys.

Total is a coin toss today. A dry spell could sink the over though.

[Snowball]

I feel fortunate to have gotten a PUSH on the Teaser tonight.
Not to mention winning the Over 189 by 1pt.
$+200 (+$3447 playoffs).
I've been adding more Boston to Win East, as you all know.. if they beat the Heat, I don't
see any way they have difficulty with either Chicago or Atlanta.
Up to $2000 on Celtics to win East at (+375).. and $300 to win Champ. (+650).
May add to this if the Celtics lose Game 1, odds will increase.
Plan on adding to this as wins allow.
Just going to chip away in other games on a nightly basis.
Atlanta is worth some money at +800 vs Bulls for series. Grabbed $100 on that.
Now I see it's +700, still great value.
Dallas has less a chance now that I see Caron Butler will not return.
I see no better way to make $ than Boston at these odds. If they lose, F it, I'll
go back to even, I got no qualms blowing my load on them to win East.
