Indy / OKC got to be 2 markets they can't be thrilled about for ratings. Then MIN not much better. NY the only major market left.Comment -
Johnny, you act like a coddled manchild who could use a legitimate punch in the mouth more than any other poster on this site. Grow up, you pencil dikk.Comment -

If Knicks lose this game Chuck I am definitely taking series price at + money
let’s see what happens hereComment -
Knicks has this game won
overtime nowComment -
No chance. They are already -5 to win the next one but are+700 to win the chip. They will be+135 to win the series is my guess as that isn't up yet at DK. They were not much of a favorite to begin with and Pacers series price dropped at pinnacle before this game. Indy was only+1035 to sweep which I found to be suspicious.Comment -
There you have it. Just popped up at+135 DK.Comment -
+165 at betonline. WOWComment -
I like the Knick comments in my thread:
1) Robinson is not healthy IMHO. He's not doing much.
2) Knick bench does not do much (if Robinson is not 100%). Lot of pressure on a few guys.
3) I am not a huge Brunson fan. Good player but he's not big. Wears down in a long series.
Just my opinion. I see a lot of the same matchup problems as last year's series.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
I had hunch on INDY tonight Stevie.. Paid off. Charles Barkely did also which is a shocker. Thought he might of mushed me.. lol.
Going forward i still think OKC still wins it all. Defense wins championships straight up in most sports looking at the finals.Comment -

I had a small 1* play on the Pacers last night, but it was just a Game One wager. I thought +5.5 was generous, the game closed at +5. One of my sports writer buddies told me earlier this morning that the game closed at 4.5 in some shops. (I don't know how much Pacer money was plunked down in the final two hours before tip to drive the line down a half point, or a full point but it was like the books were saying, "Please bet New York, we'll even give you the 'hook' at no additional charge". That's my take anyway.
I'm pissed at myself, I was waffling back and forth whether or not to bet the money line which was pretty much 2:1 man to man (-220/+180) when I bet the game at 3:00 yesterday afternoon. 20/20 hindsight and all that other bullshit, but my opinion going in was the Pacers were going to give New York a game with the Knicks winning a squeaker.
The Pacers are NewYork's krytomite I tell you, Indiana is Lex Luthor to New York's Superman.
I place a premium on loyalty. I'm the furthest thing from a Knickabocker yahoo, but that MSG fan base is as loyal as they come. Holy Mother of God they can whine though, they've been calling in to the NYC sports radio talking heads with all sorts of crap all morning.
"Wah, wah, wah, the only reason why Indiana won the series last year was because we had some of our key players 'banged up'."
To which I say, "Indiana has to play what the schedule says they have to play, regardless of who's injured or whatnot."
The bottom line is the Pacers got it done.
I can understand the whining, if my team hasn't won shit since Gerald Ford was in the Oval Office, I'd be a tad cranky too.
Ever since Boston got eliminated last week, I haven't heard word one about Tatum going down like that, or Porzingis suffering from some sort of nasty virus that's been lingering around him for two months now.
The Celtics shook the Knicks hands, told them "We'll see you next season" and went home.
Chew on this.
Since 1998, when the Geek Squad first started detailing this post-season minutia, teams leading by nine or more points with under a minute left in the game or overtime were 1,414 - 0.
Now that stat is 1,414 - 1Comment -
Dolan has dirt on Silver!Comment -
Don’t waste your money on NYK series bets. They were only -160 before the series started, pretty clear sharps and books didn’t like them.
My theory is there is little to no home court at MSG,
road teams and players bring their best game there. Pacers much up well, they got like 3-4 elite wing defenders they can put on Brunson. Pacers will wear down the Knicks,l as they’re the much deeper team. Also Carlisle is much better coach than Thibs.
NYK basically had a parade after they beat a banged up Boston team. They already won their championship.Comment -
^Thinking OKC vs Pacers in the Finals. To early to call though. OKC runs and guns and plays defense. Pacers just to big for the Knicks and they are on fire shooting the ball right now and refuse to lose. Deeeper bench. Knicks may make it interesting though in the end.. That's my take for what ever that's worth...Comment -
I'm pretty sure NBA wants Indiana - Oklahoma finals. This will be historic as two of the smallest markets in the league will be playing in the finals. The thought of either of these teams winning the championship will be historic. It's also what would President Trump want two red states competing for the big prize.Comment -
The NYK/IND series line hasn't budged off of yesterday's posted 165/+135.
Here's an interesting prop: the over/under on the number of games this series goes is 5.5
Over 5.5 games -200, Under 5.5 games +165 (ridiculous juice on that prop)
If you think the Pacers will win the next 3 out of 4 games, you can get the Pacers -2.5 games @+220 odds.
Conversely, if you think the Knicks will win the next four consecutive games, you can get New York -2.5 games @+800 odds. I haven't crunched the numbers, I'll get to that tomorrow, but at first glance, I think the true odds on the Knicks sweeping the next four games should be more like +1100.
What can I tell you, I'm a geek from way back.
It's who I am, it's what I do.Comment
