Could care less about that loss. Just glad to see the sixers move on to the second round. 76ers are not the best matchup for Boston.

Wiz what do you think about the Memphis game tomorrow. Line isn't out yet, but I'm sure we'll see a similar line to game 4. You think Memphis can extend it to a game 7?

All depends on Chris Paul and Griffin's health. More so CP3. If he isn't at full strength then it's huge.

Memphis can win but they need to get over this mental block late in games.

**t-wizzle** · 05-10-12, 09:04 PM

Really like Denver but not sure that I want to go bigger than 4x. Made plenty last night and don't wanna go giving it back.

**t-wizzle** · 05-10-12, 09:55 PM

Awesome start for Denver.

**Speedy88** · 05-10-12, 09:56 PM

Amazing start. Lakers weren't ready.

Long game though. They need to keep it up and make LA just fold up shop.

**Speedy88** · 05-10-12, 10:46 PM

I don't know about you, but I got a real bad feeling about my ticket. I have Nuggs 1H as well, I'm going to take that and run. Probably going to hedge at half.

If you won on the first half, you should probably just go ahead and hedge. I'm riding it out with denver but I could go for a middle especially if the halftime lead is 9.

Hope they count it, hoping for the big middle.

Nice hit man, if only you would have added.

Your having a pretty killer playoff run. Honestly, if it weren't for you being on the wrongside of the Sixers/Bulls games throughout the series, you would be near perfect in the playoffs.

Thanks speedy. It has been a great run. The best part is that there's still a long way to go too. I generally do best in the 2nd round and conference finals. NBA Finals have been somewhat of a struggle for me the last 2 years.

I like Memphis tomorrow night but need a line. Lakers in Game 7 on saturday night.

**ren2_laurence** · 05-11-12, 01:48 AM

Memphis+2 tomorrow! What do you think, pal? Blake Griffin and Chris Paul aren't 100% and I'm sure Memphis will take advantage. And they're the better team. Thoughts?

**Dmoneytx** · 05-11-12, 04:20 AM

Great call on the late game twiz!!! Really appreciate all your efforts sir

I like Memphis. Grizzlies are only +136 for the series.

t-wizz I've been kinda off so far in the playoffs but I think the Grizzlies win tonight and take the series.

I know paul but do you see why i didn't really like the memphis series bet?

**t-wizzle** · 05-11-12, 03:45 PM

76ers +5 -107 (7x); ML +190 (2x)

Saw the line open at +6 this morning and then next thing I know the line is 5 so I don't want to take a chance of this dropping any lower.

76ers should have a chance to win this game. I think it comes down to the wire. Boston has the edge late in the game but 76ers can pull it off. I do not foresee Philly winning this series however.

I didn't figure it would be this close, price was kinda right but sharps have been all over Memphis.

Refs don't give Clipps game 4 and Memphis is up 3-2 with two chances to close it out.

Not sure about the whole refs thing. Memphis clearly has sort of a mental block late in games. They need to get over that.

Game 4 was a joke bro. Clipps got all the calls early so the Grizzlies wouldn't run away with the game.

I don't disagree with the mental block thing though. They need to play through the bigs to open up space for Conley and Mayo shots.

**t-wizzle** · 05-11-12, 08:08 PM

Not a smart play long-term but I think the Grizzlies get it done tonight.

Grizzlies ML -137 (3x)

**t-wizzle** · 05-11-12, 11:09 PM

Glad i took the ML

**t-wizzle** · 05-12-12, 12:42 PM

Already got the sixers tonight. Will be making a play on the lakers as well, probably 10x.

Considering Memphis -7.5 tomorrow. Also going to take the Pacers +8, hopefully 8.5. I also like the Under in that Pacers/Heat game.

**Speedy88** · 05-12-12, 01:11 PM

Nice call on Grizz ML yesterday. I love your Sixers today.

Thanks speedy. 76ers might not win but it's likely a one possession game. +5 should be fine.

**t-wizzle** · 05-12-12, 03:23 PM

Lakers -5.5 -105 (20x)

I have seen this scenario play out before. Nugs blew out the Lakers the other night and now everyone is doubting LA. Kobe's comments will light a fire under Bynum and some of the other players. I say some because Gasol might be a lost cause as he looks just like he did last season in the playoffs but what really matters is Bynum. Look for a dominating performance from the best center in the league tonight. I'm talking 20 points and 15 rebounds along with some very important blocked shots. Denver's shooting has been great the last few games but they are also getting too many uncontested shots around the rim.

I'm not about to overreact to what happened the other night. Denver is a nice team and they've made this a fun series but it ends for them tonight. The Nuggets simply just aren't a true contender. Kobe will be Kobe and like I said I expect a big game from Bynum but I also expect some key role players to step up for the Lakers.

Oh by the way as I write this, the line just moved to -6 at the Greek.

**YOUNGBUCK** · 05-12-12, 03:25 PM

Agree 100% Twizz also thinkin of pullin on the Sixers

**t-wizzle** · 05-12-12, 03:26 PM

You might be able to get 5.5 on Sixers although I would be surprised if it moved to that.

**YOUNGBUCK** · 05-12-12, 03:31 PM

Ya thats wat im waitin on

**Pauulzcappin** · 05-12-12, 03:37 PM

I like the Lakers... Taking them 1stQ and maybe waiting for a good in game line. I think they get off to a good start tonight.

Great write up. Most likely Bynum will bounce back with a monster game. After he took that 3-pointer in the regular season and was highly criticized, he bounced back with some monster games.

I think the 1Q and Live bets are dangerous because then you kind of get into the habit of trying to predict how exactly the game is going to go and you risk getting a bad number with the live bet. The only time I like a live bet is when you have a team like Boston who might be +4 for a game for instance and then they fall down by double digits and all of sudden you can get them +10. Certain teams you know are never out of games.

Thanks speedy. If I lose this I'm still up a decent amount and still a long way to go in the playoffs.
