These games have been very close this yr. Plus Willis out for SA & Robinson questionable could leave SA thin up front. Ithink this game will be very similar to the first one. Going 10 units on Suns +9 (normal max bet is 5 units for me, that's how much i love this game).

No gimmies in this racket. Why is the line still basically the same? Maybe because neither player really contributes all that much or their efforts can be replaced.

Over the last three seasons, the loser of game one is 15-9 ATS in game two of the 1st round of the playoffs.

Don't know if historical data from past 1st rounds will apply to this years newly hatched seven game 1st round. GL either way

My only concern w/ Phoenix +9 is that San Antonio tends to play very well at home coming off losses this season, often blowing out very good ball clubs. I know this is the playoffs and the circumstances are different, but like I have said before, the stars have come out to play this year in the playoffs, and Tim Duncan is one of the biggest stars in the league. I look for him to have a very strong double/double. 25+ points and 20+ rebounds. I think S.A. plays hungry tonight, even without the Admiral.

You wanna talk about stars, how about Marbury. He's decent, LOL. What a stud.

Phoenix +9... barely. I think the Suns win game 3.

A lot closer than the final score, should've been an easy cover.

This game was a joke! Suns in my opinion where going to win this game until the officiating got one sided. For example, when Duncan ran over the Suns center(Jake Voskuhl), he was taken out of the game. And from that point on Duncan dominated, with the flow of the game shifting toward the Spurs. It also didn't help that Marbury was trying to be Starbury and hog the ball. As soon as he stopped passing and dribble, dribble, dribble he was contained. Don't get me wrong, I thought Marbury had an outstanding game offensively, but when the game was on the line he just held the ball to much...for me at least. Sould be an interesting series.

Spurs are in trouble if they don't get their act together, all of which will pave the way for the Lakers to march into the confernce finals.
