Tuesday Playoff Basketball

Miami vs. Chicago

Miami -9

Remember this about games 1 and 2 down in Miami. The Heat really easily coulda covered both without late Bull runs. Does that scare me for Game 5, No. The Heat are feeling the sense of desperation in an early round unlike last year versus the Nets and Wizards.

Now, I do believe in NBA conspiracies and this & that. Not saying anything about a conspiracy here, but the fact is, when players like O'Neal bark the NBA listens. He did after Game 3 and it was much worse in Game 4. That was suprising but the aggresors get the calls.

Guess what happens tonite? The Miami Heat will be the aggressors. They will get the calls. They will avange the 31-5 FT deficit of Game 4. O'Neal will play a full game and be dominant. Wade will show what he is made with. I hate the guy, but he is a GREAT player. I also hope he silly-slaps Payton...who should not be runnin his mouth at his age.

Posey is their most consistent three point shooter and his return helps on both sides of the ball. Riles also will keep the 3 ball attempts down. They shot over 25 in Game 4 which will win nothing in the playoffs.

Lets sum this up.

-Miami better defense
-Miami attacks more(I keep hearing of CHI inside defense...stop kidding yourselves)
-Wade and Shaq combine for 20+ FT's
-No backdoor this time
-Plenty of foul trouble for Bulls

Heat 106-91

LA @ Phoenix

Phoenix -7

The Suns blew it Sunday. Nash blew it. Nash looks like a clown being MVP.

He's still a great player and in last two games I have seen him play his heart out for this team. Remember those great offesnive performances against the Mavs last year. I expect the same here. The Lakers may be a bit lax knowing they have 3 games to close it out.

I expect a supreme offensive adjustment from the Suns. They break 100 and win by double-digits. I will stick with my early theory that the Lakers win in Game 7...it may still be Game 6...but it will not be Game 5.


additonal Notes..

-I do like Over in Pho...but not playing same game with 2 bets
-Joisey may be added after additonal research..prolly 50/50 shot
-The SA-SAC game is tossup...I would say the Spurs win for sure..and maybe cover...Kings are tough
-Remember I said the Kings were a very dangerous low seed all of April and March..and sure enough they are
-Yes, Teasers of MIA and PHX..plus ML parlays look great
