Who do you guys like for today?

I will track everybodies plays, so please make sure you post a line.

Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

10 units is the max bet I will count.

Mavs +4.5 10 Units

In the last 15 postseasons, 28 teams have had significant waits between rounds -- significant wait meaning a two-game difference between length of series. So, a team that wins in five and waits for an opponent that wins in seven would be a significant wait. A team that sweeps and waits for an opponent that wins in six counts, too.

In those 28 instances, the team with the rest went 23-5 in Game 1

The evidence shows that the Mavericks' time off gives them a clear advantage heading into the second round -- in a series that should be so closely matched, that even slight advantages should be significant.

Mavericks blow a golden opportunity....

Everyone was saying how much they liked the Mavericks chance to win Game 1 and steal home court from the Spurs. This is another good example of when everyone is saying one thing...you should do the opposite. Yes the Spurs were the favorite but they failed to cover the spread.
