My last post on Wednesday was a possible sign of senility. Posted the Utah game after it started, and then didn't check the post title which said something about football(auto-type that wasn't deleted). Just hurried, not senile!

Washington -1
The Wizards are in a must-win mode, and at home. But really the main reason for taking this is that Toronto has spent the past 1-2 months playing complacently. Or possibly they aren't what we thought they were when they were establishing the number one seed, and owned it early. Something is missing when I watch them. Anyways, the Wizards will lose this series, but this should be one of the games they win. Picking a Raptor let-down.

Indiana -1 Pacers and their home crowd will be UP for LeBron and Company. Now that they know they can play with them, and as in the first game, dominate at times, the Pacers confidence will be high. The Cavs defense continues to be slow to the ball, and I still think the Cavs take too many forced 3s. Other than a few spurts of great play(LeBron 1Q last game), Indiana has looked like the more consistent team.

Couldn't post, but the Indiana 2H play of -5.5 was a good one. I mentioned this 4-5 days ago, that if you can bet 2H or Live In-Play during the game, there are some jewels. Indiana was down by 17 at the half, and -5.5 was still an 11 point loss (if that had happened), and it's a good way to insure your game bet.

Part of the play is that the Cavs can't seem to sustain a whole game of control, and that even with a big lead in the 4th, would likely give up many garbage points. We saw that when Portland scored a bunch of garbage points in the 4th quarter vs. NO last game.
