Nice sweep going 3-0 last night and now 29-10-3 for the NBA playoffs. Doing better than I anticipated and hoping it continues!
Spurs @ Dallas - In a series which most of the games have been close and you could have taken Dallas every single game and covered, it would take a really sick individual to bet on the Spurs to cover this game. Well I think Dallas is finally cooked and the Spurs will celebrate a victorious series tonight winning by at least 3 points (well hopefully, could see them winning by 1 or 2 and screwing me!) At any rate, the Spurs are well overdue to cover a game in this series and I believe they close out tonight.
Spurs -2.5 (-120) for 10*
Toronto @ Brooklyn - Here is the realization I have about this series. The Raptors are becoming incredibly more confident while Brooklyn is just an old team which other than Joe Johnson, doesn't have anyone playing very well. Deron Williams and Paul Pierce can look solid at times, but can also flat out disappear. Lowry and DeRozan are tearing the Nets a new a-hole at times as well with their speed. The Raptors backcourt with Vasquez and Ross included is too quick for the much slower footed Nets and just about every game has been decided by 5 points or less and I see this trend continuing so will grab the points again! While the Raptors lack presence in the front court, so do the Nets! I could see Brooklyn sneaking a win, but not covering. However, the sharper play is taking the points IMHO.
Toronto +5 for 10*
Rockets @ Blazers - One thing is for certain, the Rockets are winning the rebounding battle and they're making the necessary adjustments as the series keeps going. Aldridge was awful in game #5 and Howard is really starting to dominate in the post. Lopez played a great game #5, but the Rockets seemed to have gain some real mojo and I believe carry it forward and win or lose and cover tonight in what appear to be another nail biter.
Rockets +4 for 10*
