    NBA on ABC not that interesting tomorrow

    You got two series that are already over.

    1 PM: Miami at Philly
    3:30 PM: Boston at New York



    Both series 3-0. Every other series is not (Denver/OKC 2-0, game in progress).

    I dunno, teams facing elimination tend to play harder. look at blackhawks and pacers for two recent examples.

    Doesn't the wounded serpent bite deepest? Doesn't the wolverine backed into a corner scratch hardest?

    Plus the Knicks may be without Amar'e.

    It's sad that the Knicks are home dogs. Did all that work trading for Carmelo and you're a home dog in a must-win playoff game

    hockey and basketball is different


    teams never come back from 3-0 deficits in NBA, it happens on rare occasion in NHL

    nothing in the nba is worth watching with how rigged almost all of the games are, a terrible product

    One more holiday
    Of course the Lakers must play
    But don't bet on them

    There's my haiku. GL tomorrow!

    Celtics are a lock
    Or so it seems destiny
    No Amare helps

    Too bad I can't unload on the Celtics because they have been down all day at all my books

    Yeah but who cares who wins Game 4? That's my point.

    Even if the Knicks and 76ers win tomorrow, they're not really in the series.

    If you gamble on the games, I'm sure you'll be interested. Otherwise, it's not compelling at all. Two games in series that are effectively over.

    Very confident that the Knicks lay an egg tomorrow. If Amare plays, he will be a shell of himself anyway. Wonder what this game goes off at. My guess if -4.5.

    Man the knicks rolled over and played dead last game. I don't think their hearts are going to be in it anymore after their last performance. Mello is known for being on teams that can't get it done in the playoffs. Billups is usually the man in the post season, but since he went down the knicks just haven't been the same.

    Because if you buy points you'll be paying more than they're worth?

    both boston and miami will lose to get the 5th game at home for the gate receipts...too much money will be lost if they sweep...this has happened over and over again in the nba playoffs in past years going back to the 60's...they call it the donation game...especially with todays ticket prices too much money to be passed up...
