Need input - 76ers vs. Pistons next game

[Tsoprano]

Guys, im really thinking to take Detroit at -9.5 for this one.

Yes they've played sh*tty at the end of the season but they are a team that got tired of regular season and had nothing to play for. They were just really anticipating this time of year but 6ers have been proven a good team.

Series is tied 2-2?

I think pistons at home at -9.5 but any other opinion(s) would help.

Thanks and GL TO ALL!!!!

9.5 is alot of points

[DrunkenLullaby]

9.5 is an awful lot to give a team that defends well and rebounds well.

Det may very well hold Phil in the 70s, but I think they may NEED to do so to cover.

[Tsoprano]

yea, ill take them and see what happens. Not confident about it but Pistons have been waiting for this. And might want to prove a point in a blow out like the Celtics will hopefully do tonight.

I've seen the "prove a point" phrase thrown around a bit here and I don't understand it. I don't understand what "point" a big favorite that everyone expects to win is going to "prove".

Personally, I'd be more afraid of the rust factor with Det & Bos since neither has needed a win since February-ish.....but then again my opinion ain't worth shit.

Yes, the Pistons will win but will it be by 9, 10, 11 or more points....it's going to be right there. I suggest taking them in the first half. I see that being a little safer.
Good luck

I think Phil will try to ush it. I also think Detroit will get fast break points off of turnovers. I like the over in this one.

Im on the Sixers +10.0, for whatever thats worth.

later

Im on the Sixers +10.0, for whatever thats worth.

Not much right now....but still a helluva lot more than my "Under 20 pts+rebs" for Sheed.

[DrunkenLullaby]

NOW, Detroit has a "point to prove" in game 2 - mainly that they don't suck.

[Tsoprano]

yea, spread stayed 9.5 for next game for pistons with my book.
