    Anyone else on Memphis tonight?
    I see a lot of San Antonio backers on the forum, thinking that the veteran team, with the experience and great coach, will not go down 1-3 in the series. Why not? It's been said how over-rated this Spurs team is anyway.

    I love 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. The Grizzlies are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games. Plus, Spurs are 0-8 ATS in the last 8 meetings with Memphis.

    Memphis has proven that they are going to fight. Granted, they barely won the last home game and Spurs see this one as a must-win, but I have to go with the home team tonight.

    I felt like one of a very few here on Dallas -3.5 for game two as well. Seemed like everyone was on Portland. I hope it's the same outcome for this game.

    Here's hoping that Tim Duncan gets a big fat "L" for his birthday tonight!

          Good to see you're on them too Bull. You've been killing 'em lately. Memphis needs to keep the leads if they get out front early and not let Spurs get back in it. Hope this game is another cover like the Atlanta +2 yesterday at home...

              Can't do it. I think SA bounces back in this one and makes it a dull game... as usual.

                Yeah, the bounce back angle. I guess a lot are thinking that as well - just like with Denver bouncing back tonight too at home? I'll take Okl City in that one as well.

                I think this game will be less than dull, however...

                  Totally different. The Nuggets have no chance of winning this series against the Thunder. OKC has overpowered them completely. All the SAS-MEM games have been very close, with the games won by 3, 4, & 3 points. The Grizzlies have outplayed the Spurs, but not dominated them. I would expect another close game tonight that's decided in the 4th quarter. I lean slightly to the Spurs evening up the series, but not enough to bet on it.

                    Nuggs have been keeping it close too in the series (3 and 4 pts), with exception of one double digit loss. My opinion is either all favs win and cover tonight or all the dogs do. I'd actually like to see both Nuggets and Grizzlies win tonight. Both games gonna be fun to watch. Gonna get real physical I think.

                      The Grizz won one game on the strength of a Zach Randolph 3 point shot. In just under 600 made shots this season, 8 of them were 3 pointers, and he had no business shooting 3s at a pivotal point in a tight game. He put in it, and that's testament to how clutch he is overall, but the point is this series could easily be 2-1 in favour of the Spurs right now.

                      Either way, tonight's game is huge for the series and should be a great game to watch.

                        I thought the bounce back angle was for when a team gets blown out?

                          Totally depends on what play the person is trying to talk themselves into..

                            I didn't even bring it up. But I meant it as just coming back from a tough loss. But yeah, the "angle" as it's used in sports betting is from a big loss.

                            My question is why the hell does my book not have the money line up for this damn game???

                              Memphis for me since majority over Spurs yet there is no movement,
                              have also small prop for game,Duncan total rebounds over 10.5 @ 2.05

                                i said before game three that memphis would win game three and drop this game...but man, the percentages and line look kinda fishy in regards to the spurs, so hopefully you're right brother. i still think the spurs should win this one so no action for me, but i hope you win...oh, how i hope you win...

                                  - I'm sure there are a few others that want this win too!

                                    I took Memphis simply because it's a great price over an opponent that they dominate this year, it has nothing to do with the forum.
