JDS vs. River vs Sam NBA Playoff Contest

[jjgold]

Bottom line is you need to pick spread covers. But now you got me thinking why would you tip your hand on strategy other than we have forum discussion going on? I just don't like being too far ahead picks wise. I will stay the course and hold off. But now you got me thinking that is exactly what you want. Reverse psychology is your method of operations. Hahaha

sammy is a terrible capper except tennis and poker he will admit it

OK Gold I do feel Sam is smart though. Except maybe his penchant for betting on his fav teams. LOL.

JDS your not on your game

noi idea what is wrong with you

 

[JDS]

Taking Detroit -10 because it makes absolutely no sense to me lol. Essentially fading myself not Sammy.

 

[theriver55]

good for me. one of you loses and if it lands on 10 you both lose. Guess since Sammy is more in range will root for DET to cover the number.

 

[theriver55]

No colluding with Sam where you fade all his picks LOL. or vice versa.

Although it seems like a lot of , Detroit would be my preferred side with a gun to my head. I think there’s a good chance this game is a bloodbath and the Pistons take the Magic out to the woodshed. But what the hell do I know . Good luck.

That spread is wild to me because Detroit has looked like garbage in this series especially on offense. They should be up on Orlando but I think this is a bad matchup for them. Good luck with your play but for me I couldn't touch this spread because it just seems like too many but maybe it'll be another blowout for Detroit who absolutely blew Orlando out of the water in game 2.

You have to factor in that the Magic are without Wagner (their 2nd best player) and there’s absolutely no urgency for them tonight. They rest Wagner tonight and have him ready for a Game 6 at home should they lose tonight. All the urgency is with Detroit.

True Lonnie. But as JR wrote they DET has looked like horseshit for the most part. Duran has not done much at all. I am on DET ML(In a parlay) and rooting for a 10 point win by DET here.

River, I'm not an NBA guy at all.... I pretty much only watch during playoffs and even then, it's rare.
Gimme a good play for tonight. I need to watch some sports and getting tired of MLB today.
Thx

You’re correct. They haven’t looked good, but they do have a blowout at home vs the Magic on their ledger less than a week ago and that was with Wagner playing and not any urgency. And maybe Duren has bottomed out. He can’t play much worse than he has. I’d say this game has a lot of potential for a blowout. I’m only on Detroit ML in a parlay like yourself, but if I had to pick a side it would be the Pistons no doubt. I see it possibly getting ugly. Don’t go throwing your whole bank account on it though. It’s far from a .
