They will win but I doubt they cover I see boston winning 96-90

Savage you might not be that far off,Cavs also can win on the road,if I remember right they won at Wash.
Really cant figure out Boston,other than bet against them on the road.If the Cavs take home court away it might be the end of Celtics run,which would also mean that Armani posted a 1000 times about the finals was wrong,lol.

knuckles1 · 05-14-2008, 12:11 PM

Armani you see a high scoring game?
Have not seen the total,but that score would have to be over Im guessing?

savage1 · 05-14-2008, 05:36 PM

Hows this for a scenario?
Celts lose tonight in Boston, then go back and win in Cleveland and then lose the deciding game in Boston? Now that would be a "perfect" reversal of the home team trend.

Armani · 05-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Boston 96-89 I said earlier 96-90

knuckles1 · 05-14-2008, 07:54 PM

Savage and Armani good call,Cavs were money and over hit also,its funny though how the Cavs give them a better game in Boston,then the Celtics do.
Looks like Boston going 7 games again,or anyone see a Celtics win in game 6??

knuckles1 · 05-14-2008, 07:57 PM

O YEH I forgot,Armani you would have won the guess the score contest,nice guess.Of course I know thats what you capped it at,lol
I took the over because of your guess,THANKS

Great call on final score;for me it was perfect,as I bet Cleveland small and won, and as a Celtics fan I am also happy as they did win the game.

Well, yes, but it was a 1/2 unit play;I couldn't resist.
Actually, the Red Sox are my first love and there is no team in any sport which even comes close.
The only time I bet against them was a few times in the 2006 season when they collapsed when Varitek went down;I could see after a few games that season was essentially over, so I figured, what the heck, I might as well cash on for a few pesos.
Re:The Celtics, this is the first time this season I recall when i have gone against them;I got burned in those road games in Atlanta and then the second game in Cleveland betting on them although I did bet them and won in the first three Atlanta games in Boston.

knuckles1 · 05-15-2008, 10:43 AM

Im sure when the line opened at 10.5 alot of people bet against them,all I did was a small parley on Armani score,Cavs and over.

Armani whats the score going to be in NO-Spurs game?

Spurs 97-87. I Reeaaaallly need a cover this evening. I expect a classic San Antonio 2nd half clamp down for a double digit win and cover...my2cents...

I love this game!

Spurs 100-96

knuckles1 · 05-15-2008, 01:51 PM

Sorry Tree,but Armani is the man when it comes to guessing scores,so that would be a NO and over,Im sure.Havnt looked at lines yet,but was thinking of taking NO in third 1/4,that seems when they do the most scoring,but they have to be losing at HT.
If they are up at the half,Spurs will come out desperate in 3rd,and I might get screwed.GL ALL

Wasn't trying to step on his toes, but what a clamp down... hope you laid off that 3rd Q!

Bring on Utah.

I guess you are not rooting for the LAKERS.

Tree · 05-16-2008, 01:10 AM

No actually im all over LA, was just looking forward to friday nights action... but will not play LA until game 7, if neccasary. Ya gotta think Utah will hold home court in game 6, ya?

knuckles1 · 05-17-2008, 02:21 PM

Whats up Tree,yes I did lay off that 3rd 1/4,thanks,but I was one of the lucky ones,had the Spurs and UNDER for game,also had Spurs and over in FH,both small parleys.No way I thought I was going to win that under,been staying on home teams,also Cavs and under,did it before I went to work at 3:00 so got it at- 2.5.
Took Utah and under FH,which loss,so took the over in second half,but did it at work so by the time I bet it,I got 108 and whoever that Laker was that missed the FT,made it a push.Was reading on a forum when I got home and saw that it started out at 107,and some had 107.5.
Should have taken Utah,but line was 8,which gave me 11,but saw Utah losing by DD after that lousy FH.
Then I was wishing Utah would have knock it back in on those rebounds,but keep trying 3s,which was the right play.

Armani · 05-18-2008, 10:00 AM

Here we go game 7 Boston will not blow out Cleveland I see final score 96-89 Boston

knuckles1 · 05-18-2008, 11:42 AM

I sure dont see an easy game here for Boston,Cavs were here last here and for most of Celtics first time in this kind of game,Boston could come out tight and Cavs have nothing to lose,as they are big dogs and are not suppose to win.
Seems like same kind of game as last one in Boston maybe,Cavs in FH,Boston in second half,??
