Made alot last year in playoffs fading the Spurs, they just didnt have it. Opened at pick last game and moved to -2 Memphis, now Spurs favored by 1. The Linesmaker is thinking that the bettor is thinking, ok Memphis got their big home playoff win out of the way and I just cant see the Spurs going down 3-1 to Memphis. Coming off a big emotional win, many times there is a letdown of sorts, Spurs know they were right there for the win at the end, Memphis would be in serious trouble if they allow the Spurs to sneak one at their home and possibly finish it back in San Antonio. Whats your take guys.

What line would you have offered?Comment -
Pk. I understand why its Spurs -1 though. Their expecting movement Memphis' way.Originally posted by SpreadSniperComment -
wait for it to move to spurs -2 and above, then pound memphis MLComment -
i am riding with the spurs. When they posted them as favorites it was an indicator for me after losing heads up the last game. Their experience will show throughout the game. Best of luck.Comment -
Many waited on that last year against Phoenix.Originally posted by cornhuskfanComment -
going 3-1 down would pretty much end the series, so given that last game came down to a 3 pointer Spurs should be favored even though they are outmatched.Comment -
Because the game came down to a 3 pointer they should be favored? That doesnt make much sense to me, Memphis covered and Spurs havent beat Memphis in Memphis all season.Originally posted by JOHON8Comment -
The line should be -3.5 Spurs IMOComment -
Lol, why is that?Originally posted by StanleySharpComment -
Because they are the better team... and this is a pivotal road game where veterans will step upOriginally posted by BernardMadoffComment -
Last game was pivotal being tied 1-1. They had pivotal games in playoffs last year and got swept. You think Spurs should be favored -3.5 this game. So what did you think the line should have been last game?Originally posted by StanleySharpComment -
I'm sure the public has no clue that Memphis is actually a decent team, even after their wins.Comment -
I might go with Spurs in this one for 1 uint, and afterwards taking the better price on the Grizz for the series win.Comment -
Every game has come down to the wire, spurs -1 is no different than a pk imo. I think the key to the series is Parker, something just isn't right with him this series, you can even make the argument that he is the reason they lost game 1, shooting that stupid midrange jumper early in the shot clock when they were up 4. Getting to the line in the second half of game 1 is the only good he did that game. He hasn't been hitting his midrange shot all series yet keeps settling for it in crunch time...even missed a similar shot in game 2 late in the game that almost cost them, the spurs got back into last game with him on the bench. It's not very often when you can say the spurs have played better with parker on the bench.Comment -

With no reasoning behind it, Spurs were never favored against Memphis in Memphis during the season either. If you were an oddsmaker you would be fired for hanging a -3.5 with the Spurs for this game.Originally posted by StanleySharpThis thread wasn't made about the last 2 games.

Memphis is 7-0 ATS this year against the Spurs.
You guys go ahead and over-think it.Comment -
So when they win by 10+ tomorrow, what will you say then?Originally posted by BernardMadoffComment -
Thats not the point, if you hang -3.5, the number would have to be taking down and put back up again because there would be serious unbalanced action.Originally posted by StanleySharpComment -

I somewhat agree... but it doesn't matter either way... I think the line will move to -3 before tip-off anyways.Comment -
Yeah, a big Spurs fan myself, it hurts to say this, but Spurs can't close, they're a horrible match for Grizzlies. If their bench was hot, if Parker was hot and Conley cold, Spurs may have won in 7... but the bball god has not been kind to the Spurs, Ginobili is not 100%.Comment -
So who is INJ for the Grizzlies?Originally posted by StanleySharpComment -
It depends who you think "public" is... personally, I think this board is the public, especially on the weekdays with a team like the Spurs. If you asked this board, I think 75% would pick Griz over Spurs, especially with Ginobili's arm.
-3 is generous, just imho.Comment -

I'm always a fan of small point (+2 or less) home dogs. I almost always side with the home dogs getting points and will even play them straight up too. Perfect case was Atlanta +2 today. I loaded up on both the spread and ML.
I don't see anything different with the Memphis/S.A. game. Both the home dogs have the advantage ATS in prior matchups and both teams (Hawks and Grizzlies) know how to fluster their "superior" opponents and have done so all season. Spurs are 0-8 ATS in the last 8 meetings and Magic are 0-7 ATS in the last seven meetings.
San Antonio is the over-rated "best in the league" team and even Charles Barkley is right in saying this. They are too old, Manu is gimped out, and they don't match up to the length of Memphis.
And if Tim Duncan is correct in his recent comments alleging that the Grizzlies purposely tanked the final two games of the season in an attempt to get a first round matchup with the Spurs, then that means that Memphis knows the Spurs are "not all that."
I'm taking Memphis every game here on out in this series. +2 and ML at home is tasty. Bring it!Comment -
It's Timmay's birthday tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Dunkster!

Memphis was the fav in game 3 and people thought the line was incorrect. Memphis should be the fav in game 4. It's seems crazy but Memphis is the better team.Comment -
Memphis is gonna blow them out this time, spurs are garbageComment -

Yeah, I took it at -2 and I was seriously sweating out the final seconds. I'll gladly tale a couple points now and have a little insurance. But I am taking a little on the line too since I feel Memphis can win this game at home again.Comment -
I think the Lakers and Spurs would love to have switched places right now.Comment -
