All covers forums' users for making my first NBA season profitable. If you guys would not be here, I guess I'll probably be insane searching for money, paying debts. I am very happy with what I accomplished. As a college student, earning 50,000php the whole season is a great achievement. Thanks you covers, seaweed, CMM, sharpstick, pickandroll, bodio, SarahJ, MrBator, CanadianTruth, Arient777, CloserX, CMJohnson, GlockII, professional1 and etc. Thank you for the insights, point of views, suggestions and all. I may lost my very last game of the season because of that fading the public angle. Its no comparison from what I earned the whole year.
OKC@DAL
The last time we saw Mavs play was when they crused the Lakers big-time and no one ever thought they could do it. This time its a different scenario, opponent and players. Okc is not an easy team since they are athletic, young and hungry. Everyone is thinking Mavs can do it again coming here in Western Conference finals, but i'm afraid they can't. Westbrook has been getting his rhythm in terms of driving inside the paint. Durant is simple terrific getting his outside shots. and all the supporting casts, Harden, Cook, Maynor, Ibaka, Kendrick and etc. has their roles. Everyone is thinking who will defend Dirk. I say it will be either Collison and Ibaka. Ibaka has a gifted long wing span and Collison just showed he is a great defender against post players. As we see how he did it against Randolph. Dirk is not really a gutsy player, he gets his rhythm in his post moves then makes a way to shoot the ball higher as he could so he can shoot the ball easier. Collison can be intimidating in the post and I see Dirk get frustrated in the offensive side. Another situation also that bothers people is the raining 3s of the Dallas. Lets admit it, Lakers is a slow team and they cant move fast enough whenever Dallas is shooting 3s. We see this most of the time when someone cuts, or someone pops if there's a pick. As I said a while ago, this Okc team is young and athletic. I see Westbrook, Ibaka, Durant, Harden covering the 3s of this hot shooting Dallas team. However, what just bothers me is the transition from defending a great post player(Randolph) to defending the three pointers of Mavs. I see Okc running a lot without the ball and Mavs barely doing defense because of that long rest.
This can be a trap game because a lot of people sees the last game of the Mavs in which they blew out the Lakers big-time. This time its a whole different scenario. Some of the best cappers here in our Forums are with the Mavs. I may have to consider it again but i'm afraid its almost lock at this point of time. Goodluck guys.
Play: Okc+6
Fucking Hawks failed to stage a game 7. I wonder how Vegas is angry bout that. I think they were expecting a win from that lousy team, seeing the consensus(70% Chicago), sports betting sites supporting Chicago(in reality, the opposite side which is ATL), and also how small the plus was given to ATL. We saw Dallas favoring a -2.5 in that close out game, in which I was expecting it should be the Lakers since a lose will eliminate them. They won huge. And Miami, a huge minus -7 which is shocking since Celtics is great team, and they cant lose it out since its a close-out game. They also won. I was thinking if the Chicago had a huge minus, odds makers will expect them to win big. But, they were given a pretty decent minus. In which, majority of the people will of course bet on them. This was supposedly a trap game but amazingly Bulls won. Oh well, I should be moving on. Goodbye .
OKC@MEM-2
I am hoping this will not be a trap game anymore. A lot of bettors are expecting Oklahoma can win this one, seeing the consensus. But, I'm afraid the Oklahoma team can still win this Game 6. I see Memphis staging a huge Game 7. And I do think they can still win the series, after watching that blow out game in Game 6. It was just a matter of home court advantage. The impact of those watchers inside the venue is huge, seeing mini-runs can turn into 10-0 runs. But, this time it is different. Memphis is the more desperate team and it will be their home-court now. Expect a blow-out win coming from the tough, young and motivated team. I also Randolph to step up. Goodluck guys.
