Memphis + 6.5 ... You Know What to do

[brahmabull117]

I think the grizz may win tonight to close it. Dallas (when they lost as a 1 seed) also lost the series in game 5 so it's very possible tonight




I think grizz win by 3-4 or lose by 3-4, either case the spread should be easily covered

[vincanity15]

They say young teams cant close out on the road, i think Spurs win, no idea if Memphis will cover or not though.

[NBA_Brosuf]

Will it look like the orlando game? Have we not learn anything from it?

[BigBurk]

Imma go with Spurs -6.5

[brahmabull117]

meh

San Antonio hasn't blown out memphis in something like 3-4 years. These 2 teams always play pretty close games


Orlando blew out Atlanta last year, so I guess we shouldn't be real shocked

[sportfan]

I like Memphis + as well but still doing some researches , also OKC - the points

Golden State beat Dallas in game 5 as an 8 seed a few years ago

[tshizzle]

I like Memphis with the points. I have no faith in the spurs...lookin awful old.

[sportfan]

Spurs are old and slow and it shows

[vincanity15]

It was game 6 and it was in Oakland that they closed out, not on the road.

you are correct, my apologies as I had incorrect information

The Magic stayed with Atlanta in all games though and were constantly shooting at <.300 for 3's. Their whole game is based off 3's. If they finally started hitting them it was always going to result in a blowout to the Magic.

The Magic could quite easily still win that series.

The Spurs have looked old and slow for the past month. This is not something new with them.

[Fed_42420]

Can the spurs get it together, idk

[panik]

Nah Im going with the sSpurs tonight

[redbull]

randolph - duncan - gasol ==> sandwich time
manu with only one armed healty
parker with eva in his mind
can spurs win with bowen , jafferson ?

+7 memphis is lock ( for me )

[spargament]

can spurs win with bowen , jafferson ?

If contributions from guest appearances on ESPN's Sportsnation count as 3 pointers, Bowen's performance will drastically alter the outcome of this matchup.

Rashard Jafferson is another key.

I can see Memphis covering. Much different game than Orlando, because the Hawks didn't even look good in both wins they had at home. The Hawks were lucky to get away with two wins at home. The Grizzilies looked dominant the entire series.

The Spurs has been able to go on spurts of 10 double digit leads but always fail to sustain it. They're definitely more than capable of getting a 10 point lead in this game too! Like the Magics, the Spurs need Bonner, Neal, and the rest of the crew to make their 3's. This team was rank #1 overall in the league in making the three's and it must happen today for them to cover comfortably.

[spargament]

So far this year in the playoffs:

San Antonio is the 13th best (out of 16) 3 pt shooting squad
Memphis is the 5th best.

San Antonio was 1st during the regular season. Spurs need two or three role players to go off from behind the arc if they wanna force game 6

Lol i think Bowen being a non factor is the lock of the night

[pittmatt80]

I'm thinking the Spurs win this one big like the Magic last game. I'm taking them, Good Luck.

[LT Profits]

Don't forget that Memphis is 8-0 ATS vs. the Spurs this year. They are a nightmarish matchup athletically for San Antonio.

[BernardMadoff]

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs won but the spread is a bit high to feel confident with.

Are you sayin Spurs are due? lolol ML is ok for tonight i think, but they looked beat up and tired for sure.

[Stanley77]

I'm on the Spurs today. I believe this game is gonna be similar to the Magic-Hawks game yesterday. The Magic haven't covered the point spread against the Hawks during the regular season until yesterday in game 5 of the playoffs at home. The same goes with the Spurs since they haven't covered the point spread against the Grizzlies during the regular season and today is game 5 of the playoffs and they're at home.

I remembered the Magic-Cavaliers series when the Cavaliers didn't cover the point spread against the Magic during the regular season until game 5 of the playoffs at home. There must be a pattern here. I believe it's to bet on the point spread on any team playing at home during game 5 of the playoffs if they haven't covered the point spread against their opponent during the regular season and the first four games in the playoffs.

I don't believe in the "due" theory, if teams don't match up, they don't math up.

[brahmabull117]

come on grizzzz



they would be up right now if not for that awful 2nd quarter early run

[brahmabull117]

what a spectacular run here by memphis


outscoring them 26-13 in 3rd quarter. Man I wish I put serious money down on this series before it started

[chantrain]

come on spurs...you garbage ass team

[brahmabull117]

come on spurs...you garbage ass team

this has been the most dominating performance by an 8 seed in the first round I have ever seen in the NBA

[vincanity15]

No sweat if your on the +6.5, they will prob win straight up. Either way SERIES over

[chantrain]

I remember during the regular season when the Spurs played the Heat and killed them by like 30 points, Tim Duncan famously said "It's over!".

well, it looks like its over for you Timmy d, and your team.

[QuangX]

Spurs might beat them

[BettingWizard]

[BettingWizard]

first to 90 points will win

[brahmabull117]
