NBA Playoffs...

[Destructor D]

Currently Have Nets +4 for 7.5* - Just couldn't resist taking the playoff veteran dog vs the newcomer to the post season... can't even recall last time Craptors made the playoffs. Probably the Vince Carter era. I'll take a team with close to 400 playoff starts as a team vs a club with virtually zero in comparison.

Warriors +7.5 for 7.5* - Tough to back the Warriors with Bogut out and not matching up well in the paint with Clippers fearsome twosome in Griffin and Jordan. However, Curry can flat out light it up and counting on a big game from him to keep this game close. Clippers do have a lot of advantages, but Warriors can flat out score and they did well last year in the post season. Hoping it carries over to this season.

Hawks +8 for 7* - Realize Pacers looked okay at the end of the season, but the Hawks were rolling and just spanked Indiana at their place a couple weeks ago. Not saying they win, but I'll grab the 8 points again as I did a couple weeks ago. Really love the fact EVERYONE on this site is buying the Indiana Kool-Aid and banging them like a hot $2 whore.

Grizzlies +8 (-120) for 7.5* - Well the post season started for Memphis weeks ago and their size with Gasol and Randolph could present some matchup problems in the post for the Thunder. Memphis bounced these guys from the post season last year so I don't expect them to be the least bit intimidated. Thunder are a weak team defensively while Grizz are solid. I'll take my chances with the 8 points and hopefully Allen or whomever can contain Durant (or at least hold him to about 30) and Conley does a good job on Westbrook.

I have seen most people on chalk today so really like my doggies to bark and hopefully go 3-1 or better!

Grizzlies came all they way back to 74-72 before falling apart late. Damnit! Would have been great to sweep the board and really crush!

I still can't believe how many people on this site backed Indiana like they were the '96 Bulls or something. Have you watched this team play over the past couple months? They're a freaking train wreck and will likely have issues winning this series. Hawks aren't great, but they appear to have enough to play with the Pacers.

The Clippers will be in a must win mode in game #2 vs. Warriors. I would expect Griffin to not get shackled with fouls. However, the backcourt of Curry and Thompson can be very difficult when they're draining treys like today.

Nets have a couple guys older than sand on the beach in Garnett and Pierce. However, Pierce looked sick down the stretch today and Craptors looked like a club playing in their first post season game since 2008.

GLTA Easter Sunday!

Great writeup and I always like to see going against the public and at the end of the night more often than naught + money goes with those "against the grain"..... I agree with LAC gm 2, and I think Nets could sweep, if not one game is all they lose to Tor.....
