Cavorca NBA Playoffs -- Round 2

5/8:

San Antonio -6.5 ... 1.5 Unit

Wasn't sure about betting against NO, but it actually kind of makes sense. IMO SA is the right play here, listed some thoughts in a prev post. SA wins - good shot to win the bet with how playoff home/fav have fared and that the prev SA/NO mu's were all relatively solid large W's. NO wins - I'm thrilled for my team. I'll probably fall asleep before the end of the game anyway...

Boston -8 (-115) ... 1.5 Unit


Tons of focus on LBJ's game 1, not nearly as much on Pierce/Allen combo of 4 points. Very interested to see how all 3 bounce back this game. Don't have time to elaborate, but IMO it works out to a Bos cover. GL! :thumbs:

Thanks Udogg. Went back and forth on the Bos/Cle game the past 2 days and actually leaned ever so slightly to Bos today. Saw most of you all on Cle and really didn't feel strongly enough either way, so I decided to lay off. After that Det W, I was happy to stop there and call it a day.

Honestly, not very certain about the SA/NO game. Looking back at the Dal series, gm3 went very similar to that in this series. Dal got big games from Nowitzki, Terry, and Howard, and SA got huge games from Parker and Manu. One difference is that CP3 and West struggled in gm3 vs Dal, but they played fine vs SA. In the first 2 games of the series, SA took a ton of 3's and didn't shoot a great %, but they were 44% in gm3. NO was only 2-11 on 3P's in gm3, and their 2 wings, Peja and MoPete, both struggled similar to gm3 vs Dal. Besides CP3 and West, Chandler was the only guy in dd's with 12 pts. NO's bench struggled, 8-24 (33%) on FG's and no one topped 6 pts, but they haven't scored much the whole series really. Peja and MoPete played great in gm1 & 2, and IMO NO can win if those 2 bounce back like they did in gm4 vs Dal and play a little better on D vs Parker and Manu (or if they're just off). Still haven't seen a huge game from Duncan, which is somewhat worrisome, but IMO NO has enough value for a play. But like I said, I'm not as confident in this one as I have been on several of their previous games.

New Orleans +5 ... 1.25 Units

New Orleans ML +200 ... 0.5 Unit

Bos has lost all 4 road games thus far, and IMO this close to being a must-win. Their vets have to know they'll need a road W to win a title, and there's got to be motivation after the 24 point gm3 throttling. That L following the 0-3 at Atl has deservedly drawn a lot of criticism/doubt as to whether or not they can win it all. Since this could be a statement game and some MOV's have landed in this area during the playoffs, I'm taking a shot with these larger MOV props hoping for a big W. Also might add a play on the under.
