    Indy covered and I also took San Antonio to cover the second half (-3.5) and Bucks to cover the first half (+8). Both teams barely covered. That was pretty nerve-racking. I didn't get a chance to post those picks in advance since they were last minute bets. I will post betting slips for whatever I have if anyone is interested just so you know I put my money where my mouth is. Record 3-0-1 in the playoffs so far. I will post my parlay win or lose later on tonight.

    Nice hit...I thought that line was a little low, which is why I went with the Pacers.

    I'm assuming you mean Rockets +10, but I'm staying away as well. I actually like OKC to cover tonight. If you really wanna bet, I would look into taking Rockets +6 for the first half and the over for the second half. I'm with you though on the under for the game.

    Did well tonight. Hit Pacers & Spurs. Put a small parlay ($50) on Hou + 10 & over 212 Hou/okc.

    I'm going to ride BKN in game two. They destroyed the bulls and I don't expect that to change.

    Hit 1k on the Heat third quarter line. They always come out strong in close games

    I was this close to taking OKC -10.5 and the under, but decided to stay away. I hit my $50 parlay...4-0-1 in the post-season so far counting the ridiculous parlay. Here are the only betting slips I have. I had to cash the others and let the money ride:

    I'm looking at Denver -8 for my next play.

    Nice win but you're eating way too much chalk. You'd be better served grabbing IGL's

    BKN -4.5 again? What does the board think? BKN looks like they're peaking and Dwill looks like himself again. Bulls got manhandled and I'm not sure it won't happen again.

    Like it. Noah shouldn't be playing and unless Nate Robinson gets hot Chicago won't win a game.

    Seattle is free money tonight against the Astros. i have a better chance of waking up next to Miranda Kerr then the Astros do of scoring 3 runs. That line should be -220 not -178

    Man, what a depressing gm for the rockets. First half was looking good until the 2nd half. I shouldve stayed away....risky play :(

    I'm just getting in and I didn't have service so I was unable to post my picks once I finalized them, but I'm hoping everyone took this man's advice. I tried to convince a friend of mine to pound the Mariners, but he thought it was a trap for some reason. I ended up parlaying the Mariners moneyline with the Clippers moneyline. LA almost choked at the end, but a win is a win. 5-0-1 in the post-season so far. Here's my betting slip:

    <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/208/img2061tn.jpg/'><img src='http://imageshack.us/a/img208/640/img2061tn.jpg' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>

    I'm still looking at Denver -8 for tomorrow, but will wait until I get the latest info on Kenneth Faried. Whatever you guys bet make sure to parlay it with either Denver, Miami, and/or OKC moneyline. I don't see any of these teams losing game 2.

    Here's what I have for tonight:

    Bucks +8.5 (1st half) - I'm hoping the Bucks come out a little stronger as a whole and keep it respectable until Miami eventually outlasts them.

    Denver -7.5 (bought half a point) - David Lee out and Kenneth Faried in even though he's going to be coming off the bench and apparently playing limited minutes. I think the Warriors missed their chance to steal one in Denver in game 1. I'm hoping for a blowout tonight, but bought half a point to be safe if it's relatively close at the end.

    Denver moneyline and OKC moneyline (2-team parlay) - self explanatory here

    Let's go Manimal

    Edit: Unbelievable...never would I have thought that the entire Warriors team, scrubs included, would shoot over 60% for the entire game. This game was over a long time ago. Updated record for the post-season: 6-2-1. I don't have anything for tomorrow so if anybody is looking at anything, feel free to share.

    I really like the over 208 for GS/Den tonight. Both teams were struggling to make baskets in game 1 and that might be due to playoff jitters. The pace was fast and I'm positive Curry/Lawson will have bigger scoring outputs tonight.

    Probably putting down 4 bills on the over and 2 bills on Den -8

    I like the over as well. The tempo should actually increase with Lee out and I don't think the Nuggets are gonna shoot as poorly from 3 pt land either. I would have played it myself, but I tend to stay away from totals. I was looking at the under for the Pacers game tomorrow only because I think Indiana is due for one of those grind out low scoring games.

    Bucks and Boston have been the first to score 20 tonight. Will GSW's make it a trend?

    I like the pacers to cover and cover easily. The hawks shoot 50% from the field and over 40% from three point territory in game 1 yet the pacers where always in control. I expect the pacers to continue to dominate the boards and tighten up their defense. Pacers -7 is the play.
