Pre-Tuesday record
Playoffs 36-38-1 -4.37 units
Still in the red, but headed in the right direction after being down 17 units at one point. The spread has continued to be a non-factor, even in closely played games- see Orlando/Detroit last night. yeah I know you could have grabbed the 7 before tipoff, but for the most part it was 6.5. I'm going to be following the format that has worked so far this playoff season- pick the winner of the game, then play accordingly. Seems so simple yet how many times do you see plays on dogs, with reasoning like "last time they played it was close. Or it should be a closely played game, so I'm taking the points. With that being said....

Picking the winner in both. I think this C's/Cavs series could go the distance, but I also think the game 1 line is a bigtime setup. The Cavs were solid ats vs the C's in the regular season, so this line looks high. C's MOV at home has been huge, & again I'll state the MOV for the winning team for the past week or so has been predominately double digits. I do think at some point in the series, the Cavs could be live on the road, but I just don't feel it's today. If you are playing the Cavs, then for god's sake play the ML at least a little! As for the Spurs, I was hoping they could steal one in NO, but this series is far from over. The Hornets held their position, but now they have to go to SA. Don't hit the panic button just yet. I will say however that this Hornets team is great & fun to watch...shaping up to be a good series. Leaning pretty hard on the La/Utah over, but I haven't looked too deeply into it. GLTA today
