NBA on ABC not that interesting tomorrow

[yisman]

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).

[chantrain]

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?

[yisman]

Plus the Knicks may be without Amar'e.

[Snowball]

Boston automatic
will play for rest
love the bet

[Reload]

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

[yisman]

Boston automatic
will play for rest
love the bet

haiku understood
but the automatic part
does not fit in well

[thompsontw]

Love the 6'ers but tomorrow is their last game of the season.

hockey and basketball is different


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

[moses millsap]

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

[Deep_Rest]

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

There's my haiku. GL tomorrow!

come back and win the series? no. Come back and win game 4? that happens a lot.

[rem sleep]

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

[yisman]

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.

[tblues2005]

I think for sure the Heat is going to win.

[terpkeg]

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.

[texhooper]

I think for sure the Heat is going to win.

yeah, sometimes it really is just that easy. i like lebron in situations like this.

but cover...i don't know. wouldn't take philly with a gun to my testicles, though.

[vinh diesel]

Give me one reason why I shouldnt buy bos down to -2 and hammer 10x units in them?

[h3da]

It's NBA.. Good enough reason?

[FindTheLock]

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.

[yisman]

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

[unusialsusp5]

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...

[yisman]

There have been plenty of sweeps.

[ryanjep]

ABC just wants to show the high profile players
