Clips-Hawks Tuesday Special

[BigDeem5]

I want to say this, I lose more Tuesday Night games than LOLMCWINSEY... But, I think this one is a good bet. I'm on the Clips +2.5 (Heritage) -108. For what reason?

a) Clips have been on fire lately.
b) Clips still 1/2 GB of 3 seed.
c) Hawks are already locked into #5 seed in East
d) Look @ starting 5 and bench.. Clips > Hawks
Paul >>>>Teague
Joe Johnson >>>> Clips 2 (foye)
Butler > Marvin Williams
Griffin >> Josh Smith, bc Smith heaves up jumpers
DeAndre/Martin >> Zaza Puchlilia.

Chris Paul is a closer. If they can hold Joe Johnson under 30 pts, Clips win.
Take the 2.5 because it is a big play for me.

Aren't hawks playing for home court.

Yeah Hawks aren't locked in to the 5 seed. They can still catch Boston.

[hustlehard617]

They are locked into the 5 seed because the top 4 seeds go to division winners but they can win home court advantage if they finish with a better record than Boston

b) Clips still 1/2 GB of 3 seed.
.

Assuming the Lakers win their final game against SAC on 3 days rest, the Lakers are the #3 seed. The Clippers have very little to play for tonight.

Lakers may not lose that game, but they aren't going to cover that game. Could be the last game ever in Sacramento.

Have you seen the clippers offense lately? If it werent for Roye jacking up 3's they would of lost last game, they were down the whole game..im not convinced they can beat ATL with what ATL has at stake at home.

Speedy can you explain more? So even if Boston clinches is 4th seed? If Atlanta have a better record they can get home court advantage as a 5th seed?

Because they are totally in different division and the hawks are up one game on boston alredy.

its david sterns playoff system which makes no sense

I believe so. You can be a 5 seed and have homecourt over the 4 seed. This game is meaningful to both teams.

Boston will win tonight w/o Big 3 playing. Lob city to the bank
