2017-18 NBA Play-Offs

2017-18 NBA Play-Off Record : 15-9-1

June 6, 2018

Warriors -4 1/2
Warriors keep rolling, I don’t expect the ‘throw away’ game by the Warriors in this series. Laying the points here.

June 3, 2018
Game 2 – Over 214 1/2
Not sure how Game 2 can possible top Game 1.  I don’t think JR Smith has ever heard his name as much as he had 24 hours after game 1.  Cavs proved they can hang with the Warriors, but have the Warriors proved their 2016-17 magic isn’t gone.  I’ll put my money on another wild night and watch some points.

Warriors -13

Splash City meets Blow out city.  Game 1 won’t be close. Love is questionable to play, how does Cleveland keep this close?

Warriors -6 1/2

This number continues to go up and up. The hole that Chris Paul left the Rockets is unfillable. The Warriors looked like the Warriors of old in the 4th quarter Saturday night. I suspect the Warriors will want to make a statement tonight that they are back and show why they are perrinal favourites for the title. Grab this before it gets even higher.

Cavaliers +2 1/2

How long has it been since we saw a final without James? Exactly. Celtics and Stevens have been a great story, but we all saw what LBJ did  on Friday. Why should tonight be any different? The LeBron legacy grows again tonight. Take the Cavs plus the points.

 

May 26, 2018

Rockets / Warriors Over 212 1/2
No Chris Paul… Warriors catch a HUGE break.  This should be one of the more wide open games this series. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the exact opposite of what we saw the last 2 games, both teams should get into the 100’s tonight.

May 25, 2018

Celtics +7
I expect a very close game tonight, similar to what we’ve seen in the West. The Celtics will defiantly want to close out this series and avoid a winner take all game 7 vs LBJ.

Over 202
Leveraging off a close game from above,  fouls down the stretch should help this number hit.

May 24, 2018

Warriors +1
The Warriors scored just 92 points in game 4, only 12 points in the 4th…. How is that possible? Can that actual happen again? Warriors shot less than 40% from the field. I’m going to take them in this bounce back spot.  The Warriors were able to win game 1 in Houston, I expect them to win game 5.

May 20, 2018

Rockets / Warriors Over 226
The first two games of this series had 225 & 232 points scored respectively. Even with a 7 point spread and a blow out line game, the total could easily hit. The 4 days between games could help an ailing warriors squad. Curry is expected to be a 100%, therefore I expect 3’s all game. Take the over.

May 19, 2018

Celtics +6
The Celtics took the first 2 games at home in Boston, Game 2 by 13 points. Brad Stevens getting every thing out of his players where as at times it seems Tyronn Lue isn’t. The Cavs are a one man show. The LeBron Show. Sure LeBron can carry any team to a win, but 6 points in a conference final seems like a heavy task for any superstar. The Cabs winning, wouldn’t be a surprise, but by 7 points, would be.

May 6, 2018

Warriors / Pelicans Under 231
231? In a play-off game? Pelicans blew out GS on Friday by 19 but didn’t come close to the 233 1/2 Total. I’ll take any game Under a total of 230+

May 5, 2018

Celtics +9
Has anyone done a better job this post season than Brad Stevens? Star after star goes down with an injury and the Celtics just keep winning. When on earth did Ben Simmons go the last few days, someone should remind him his team is in the second round of the play-offs. It’s hard not to put money on a team getting almost double digit points when they have proven without a doubt in the first two games that they are the better team.

May 3, 2018

Cavaliers +6 1/2
How does one put money on the raptors to beat the cavaliers in the play offs let alone cover the spread as a favourite? 7 straight wins for the Cavs against the Raptors in the play-offs.  If the raptors pull out the win, you know it will be a nail bitter.

Cavs / Pacers Over 199

April 27, 2018

Raptors +1 1/2
Thunder / Jazz Under 207

April 25, 2018

Thunder -2 1/2

April 22, 2018

Cavs -1
It would be impossible to picture the Cavs going down 3-1 to the pacers.  For this reason and this reason alone i’m taking the cavs here.

April 21, 2018

Jazz / Thunder Under 208 1/2
After the 197 points in Game 2, I was mildly surprised that this total would be over 205.  The thunder have struggled scoring on the road as of late.  The number seems to hit regularly when these teams meet.  I will gladly take the under here.

April 16, 2018

Warriors -9 1/2
If Game 1 was a preview of this series it won’t be much of a series.

April 14/2018

Spurs +8

Spurs / Warriors Over 206
Spurs can keep this game relatively close, 4th quarter fouls will get this number over the total

Wizards +8
This is purely based on the raptors horrendous game 1 history in the play-offs.

Heat / 76ers Under 212 1/2
Could be a feeling out process for the young 76ers. Look for the heat to slow the tempo right down.
