    NBA knock out rounds. Thoughts?

    I think I'm going with the home teams tonight and you may want to fade. I'm on a prime time losing streak with thread start picks lately. Well two thread starts I bombed on last I checked. Both these games are on TNT tonight.

    So what do you think? Maybe parlay both home teams on the ML perhaps?

    I have an itch to play the Knicks +5 but I'll pass. Nothing looks great betting wise.

    1st game is iffy, Knicks could surprise. I do think the Lakers should win in the night capper though.

    Well I got that one right. Both home teams win. Bucks and Lakers.

    Let's move on to today.... Capping now.

    I really am having a hard time watching a full game. I don't like what the NBA has become

    Hey, can't blame you for switching it up. If your prime time picks are on the rocks, maybe going with the home teams on the ML is the shake-up you need. Good luck...

    The semifinals are today! Somewhat early start with Pacers v. Bucks @2pm PT that’s followed by Pelicans v. Lakers @6lm. Taking home teams again?

    I like the Pelicans. Maybe the league wants to give the first IST to Lebron to put on his resume, but I'm going with New Awlins.

    I know, I wish I would've seen that earlier. That's an auto-bet on the Under just on principle.

    Impossible to bet under in Pacers games though

    They're 16-3 to the Over with games going over by an average of 15 points

    Yeah but at 257.5 I'd bite... Plus it's a tournament game so theoretically you'd expect more defensive effort in a playoff type of environment. I know the Pacers are an Over team but everything is bettable at the right price. I wouldn't put the mortgage on it, but maybe the utilities bill.

    Lillard said pre-game it was scary their record combined with the fact they're still figuring things out. What's scary is the Bucks traded Holiday for this bum.

    Lakers have home court in Vegas, and them winning it gives the cup prestige (not the other way around). Pels are turning heads... I don't think their starters fit well but once they get into their bench it works.

    Lakers squad look like they have come together and are really balling right now. Hard to fade them going forward.

    Just move 3 point line back for damn sake they try to reinvent themselves. Modern Nba for the most part is 3 point shooting contest, looking for easy points in the paint and getting fouls. Occasionally I see good game but typically it's hard to watch for more than 3 minutes.

    I saw one idea of the 3pt line doesn't exist until the last 1 min of the half & and the last 2 min end of game.
