Let's talk NBA playoffs and potential series lines/wagers

Assuming that the standings stay as they are, we are looking at the following first round match-ups:

Chicago v. Philly
Miami v. New York
Indiana v. Orlando
Boston v. Atlanta

San Antonio v. Utah OR Phoenix
Oklahoma City v. Dallas
Los Angeles Lakers v. Denver
Los Angeles Clippers v. Memphis


Let's talk hypothetical series lines -- here's what I would put them at:

Chicago (-850) / Philly (+780)
Miami (-650) / New York (+580)
Indiana (-340) / Orlando (+275)
Boston (-300) / Atlanta (+240)

San Antonio (-700) / Utah OR Phoenix (+620)
Oklahoma City (-550) / Dallas (+425)
Los Angeles Lakers (-650) / Denver (+500)
Los Angeles Clippers (-210) / Memphis (+180)

How far off are my prices? Given the prices I am guessing above, who do you like? I think I would try to put a ton of money on Memphis if they are plus juice or even something like -150 or better. Do I have the favorites too high?

Things I am excited for now that the season is going to start....

Let's just start a list:

1. Ricky Rubio
2. Kevin Love working the Brad Miller/Vlade Divac high post area
3. Blake Griffin
4. Kevin Durant v. Russell Westbrook, the sequel
5. The mighty beard of James Harden
6. Rooting against Miami all year
7. Getting to bet against teams on the 3rd game in 3 nights or 4th game in 5 nights
8. Dallas ball movement
9. Portland home games
10. The last stand of the Boston Celtics
11. Knicks fans thinking they can do some damage in the playoffs this year (won't happen unless they get a solid center, and no, Samuel Dalembert doesn't count).
12. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
13. A full season of Denver minus Melo
14. A healthy Chris Paul

What are you looking forward to this year?

-=- KF3 11/16/08 picks -=-

Yesterday: 0-3, -5.5 units
YTD: 34-33-4, -0.3 units

Not a great day yesterday. It's all part of the game though. Small card today with the late games.

Locked in:

1. DENVER -9.5, risking 3.3 units to win 3 units
2. Detroit (ML) +110, risking 1 unit to win 1.1 units

Best of luck today everyone!
