NBA, CONFERENCE-FINALS

Ich versuche heute Billups over 18,5 @2,1 (bwin)

Bisher hat Mr. Big Shot in allen Spielen jeweils nur 13 Punkte, deshalb springen alle aufs under. Die Quote ist schon auf 1,65 gefallen. Aber Hughes ist heute nicht dabei und dieser hat Billups meistens verteidigt und hat das gut gemacht. Im letzten Spiel hat er sich ja schon verletzt und stand im vierten Viertel nicht auf dem Platz. Und in eben diesem Viertel hat Billups 8 seiner 13 Punkte gemacht. Ich denke, da ists zu der netten Quote schon ein Versuch wert, denn prinzipiell ist Billups jederzeit für ein 20+ Spiel gut.

23 Punkte. [[yo]]
 
Allgemeines zur serie:
heute steht das 5.spiel in der conference final-serie san antonio-utah an (stand: 3-1 für san antonio). utah kämpft in diesem spiel ums überleben, da eine weitere niederlage das aus bedeuten würde. bisher wurden sie in den beiden spielen die in san antonio anstanden förmlich vorgeführt und verloren beide spiele recht deutlich (sieg vorsprünge von 8 bzw 9 punkten täuschen dabei ein wenig, da san antonio beide spiele klar kontrollierte und erst am ende utah ein wenig aufholte). dann hatte utah in den nächsten 2 spielen heimrecht und gewann im ersten spiel mit unglaublichen 26 punkten wobei sie san antonio, die für ihre überragende defense bekannt sind alleine in der zweiten hälfte 66 punkte einschenkten. diese schmach ließ san antonio allerdings nicht lang auf sich sitzen und revanchierte sich im nächsten spiel und ließ im gesamten spiel nur 79 punkte zu, was wieder mal zeigte das san antonio besonders nach hohen blowout niederlagen stark zurückschlägt und in der lage sind aus ihren fehlern zu lernen. nun stehen sie vor dem einzug ins finale, doch müssen sie zuvor das oft so schwere, letzte closeout game gewinnen. meiner meinung nach hat san antonio gute chancen das spiel zu gewinnen, doch die quote von 1,25 gibt nicht viel her und der spread von 7,5 erscheint mir doch ein wenig zu hoch.

daher möchte ich mich mit den spieler einzelwetten beschäftigen:

der eindeutigste pick imo:
Wie viele Punkte erzielt Deron Williams (Uta)?
Mehr als 22,5 @ 1,85 bwin


williams bisher immer locker über dieser marke (34-26-31-27) und meiner meinung nach schlafen die bookies bei ihm immer noch, da man ihm als jungen spieler vor der serie eine solche konstant gute leistungen nicht zugetraut hätte, er jedoch bisher in so gut wie jedem spiel utahs bester spieler war und auch von super-defender bruce bowen nicht entscheidend gestoppt werden konnte. im 4.spiel trat er sogar mit einigen gesundheitlichen beschwerden an und war trotzdem fast der einzige utah-spieler der gegenwehr zeigte und sich gegen die niederlage stemmte.
heute ist er unbedingt gefragt, da sein team sich wie gesagt keine weitere niederlage leisten kann und daher denke ich wird er mind.23 punkte erzielen, ich bin sogar der meinung er wird an der 30er grenzen kratzen.
medium-high-stake

zweiter pick: Wie viele Punkte erzielt Mehmet Okur (Uta)?
Weniger als 12,5 @ 1.65 bwin


ebenso wie williams ein statistisch gesehen offensichtlicher pick , okur bisher immer unter der marke (10-11-0-7) und okur dabei mit katastrophalen wurfquoten. er ist in der defensive stark mit der aufgabe tim duncan zu verteidigen belastet, was vor allem in den letzten beiden partien zu vielen fouls (5 u. 6 fouls) und dementsprechend geringerer einsatzzeit führte. ausserdem ist zu erkennen das okur der in der saison einen hohen anteil an utahs siegen hatte, bisher in der serie kaum gesucht wird und eher deron williams alleine oder im pick-n-roll mit carlos boozer die verantwortung und spielanteile trägt. denke er wird auch heute nicht übermäßig gesucht und mit seiner bisherigen wurfquote kann er die marke fast nicht überschreiten, zu mal er auch noch in der defense stark eingefordert wird und dies kräfte kostet.
aufgrund der geringen quote und dem eigentlichen potenzials okurs nur medium stake [[yo]] [[yo]]

SPURS lead Series 3-1

Pick for game #5: Spurs (-7,5) @ 1,90 Betsafe

With Monday night's very impressive 91-79 road victory in Game #4 in Salt Lake City, San Antonio has taken a commanding 3-1 series lead heading into tonight's Game 5 at the AT&T Center. Leading by just a single point heading into the fourth quarter, San Antonio stepped up and made big shots, outscoring the Jazz 28-17 over the final 12 minutes.
The Spurs will try and close out the Utah Jazz at home tonight in Game #5 to wrap up the Conference Championship for the second time in the last three years with a win in front of the home faithful crowd this evening. It was an unpleasant ending for the Jazz in game four as head coach Jerry Sloan and guard Derek Fisher were both ejected. What makes things even tougher for the Utah Jazz tonight is that in order to send the series back to Utah, they'll have to break its 18-game losing streak in San Antonio dating back to 1999. The Spurs have come accustomed to closing out teams in the past, posting a 12-4 mark in close-out games since Duncan, Parker and Ginobili teamed up in 2003.
Though guard Deron Williams and forward Carlos Boozer are doing their part, averaging 29.5 ppg and 24.5 respectively, they aren't getting enough help from the rest of the team. The Jazz didn´t manage to make a concerted effort to slow down Tim Duncan, who is averaging 24 ppg and 11 boards in the three Spurs wins. IMO San Antonio is much too "battle tested" for this young Utah team. As the Spurs have shown, they can play slow when they need to and go uptempo with the best of them as well.
I think the Spurs broke the Jazz last game and this series will end with a double digit Spurs win.

medium stake

da san antonio bereits nach einem viertel mit 19 punkten führt, und das spiel daher früh entschieden ist, spielt williams mit foulproblemen nur 23 minuten und erzielt daher auch nur 11 punkte - pick verloren [[bang]]

allerdings wenigstens okur nur mit 8 punkten, und daher dieser pick richtig [[yo]]

Series tied 2-2

Pick for game #5: Cavs (+5,5) @ 1,98 Pinnacle

The Eastern Conference Finals has turned into a competitive series after Cleveland took both of their home games to tie the series at 2-2. LeBron James finally lived up to his superstar status while Chauncey Billups played poorly for the Pistons. The Pistons under Head Coach Flip Saunders missed their chance of making this a quick series failing late in Game Three, and then again in Game Four. The Pistons have been lame on Offense lately, but they continue to play strong Defense. They need only to protect their Home Court to prevail in this Series. They have to play a good game tonight, as the Cavs have 'covered' all four games of this series. Detroit's great backcourt has yet to rise to the challenge. Billups is averaging a 'quiet' 15.5 PPG in the series and made just 10-of-30 FG attempts in the two games in Cleveland. Hamilton, a career 20.5 PPG scorer in the postseason, has averaged just 13.0 PPG (16-of-43 shooting) the last three games, after a 24-point effort in Game 1. The Pistons better wake up soon or they will be finding themselves watching a Cavaliers-Spurs final.
Cleveland knows they will need to win one on the Road if they are to take the Eastern Conference Finals. Their Defense has played well all Series, but their offense has been sporadic all Series throughout. They shot 47-percent in the two games at home and hope to continue that in Detroit, where they shot just 38-percent in the first two games.The big key for Cleveland in the last two games has been the fourth quarter play of LeBron James. He came up big in Cleveland, averaging 28.5-8.0-10.0, after averaging just 14.5 PPG on 12-of-34 shooting for the two games in Detroit. However, he wasn't the only Cav that picked up his play in a crucial game, rookie Daniel Gibson came out of nowhere to score a career-best 21 points, including 12 for 12 from the free-throw line.
One thing to keep in mind when looking at this line is Cleveland could have very well swept Detroit and been at home getting ready for the NBA Finals!!
That’s how lucky the Pistons are to be playing this game tonight. They haven’t done anything in this series so far that would make me feel comfortable laying this number. The last six meetings between these two have been decided by a total of 25 points, with the Cavs covering the spread in all six. I will take the points with Cleveland as they keep this game close until the end and stay within the number.

Cavaliers lead Series 3-2

Pick for game #6: Under 173,5 points @ 1,91PaddyPower


The Cavs under Head Coach Mike Brown have come through to win three games in a row in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they can head to the League Championship Series with a win at Home tonight.
LeBron James put this team on his back and delivered one of the all-time greatest performances in NBA playoff history in Game 5. He scored a career playoff-high 48 points including 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points! Tonight Cleveland will come into this game with all the jitters of a team that is treading into unknown waters. LeBron is carving out his place in history right before our eyes, but for him to take that next step he needs the help of his teammates to get him to the next level.
The Pistons under Head Coach Flip Saunders failed to protect their Home Court in Game Five, finding themselves with their backs to the wall for the first time in these playoffs. They were embarrassed by LeBron James on Thursday as he put Detroit on the brink of elimination at the same time. Detroit have not shown much on offense, and they have not controlled games with defense like they are used to. But they have much experience, and they do not figure to go down for the count so easily. They remain a team that can get production from any or all five of their starters, the big question is if they will show up tonight with a chip on their shoulders. They always seem to play their best when everyone else writes them off, to reach the Finals they have to sweep the last two games of this Series.
With LeBron’s performance still fresh in everyone’s mind and Cavs playing at home, the prevailing sentiment will be that they are a lock to advance to the NBA Finals. LeBron will come to play tonight, there’s no question about that, but Cleveland will have to get help elsewhere as the Pistons will be on King James big time tonight.
This is a crucial game for both squads and I expect a very strong defensive game across the board for both teams tonight. The first three games of this series were very solid unders, but the last pair of meetings in this series have both landed in the over column. The UNDER is still a dominant 21-5 the last 26 times these teams have faced one another. The Pistons have held low in 7 of their last 10 on the road, while the Cavaliers have been UNDER in 7 of their last 9 playoff games overall. After Thursday's grueling double-overtime affair, including a massive explosion of 216-points we look for both teams to have some tired legs in this game, so look for the points once again be hard to come by. Expect a game decided by three points or less, which makes this one too tough to call but will play the UNDER tonight in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Series tied 0-0

Pick for game #1: Cavaliers (+7,5) @ 1,99 Pinnacle

The Spurs won the Western Conference Title again under Head Coach Gregg Popovich and are poised to win their 4th NBA title since '99, with this core group (Bowen, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker) looking for its third championship in the last five seasons as Odds-on five-to-one favorite. They bounced back from a Game 1 loss to win four straight over the Nuggets (a team that had finished the season having won 10 of their last 11), then beat the very talented Suns in six games and they easily dispatched of the red-hot Jazz 4-1, covering convincingly in all four wins! The Spurs' "Big Three" (Duncan, Ginobili and Parker) have been excellent, playing the best ball of their careers. They may just have something to prove in this game. The Cavs beat them both times during the regular season, including in San Antonio for the first time since the 1988 season.
The Cavaliers under Head Coach Mike Brown have gotten to the Big Dance, and deservedly so having beaten the Eastern Conference's best. This young team has covered seven straight Playoff events in a row Against The Spread and six of its last seven versus the Spurs (all as a dog): So they have nothing to lose as Dogs in this Series, but they must fend off the propensity of "just being glad to be here." Cleveland has played tough defense in these playoffs.They allowed just 82 ppg in Round 1 versus the Wizards, 77 ppg in the conference semis against the Nets and then 79 ppg against the Pistons. Not only Cleveland a better team since Aleksandar Pavlovic joined the starting lineup on March 1st, they have the size with Zydrunas Ilgauskas and this team just gets after it defensively. However, Gibson "became a star" after averaging 16.2 PPG over the final five games of the EC Finals, including 21.0 PPG over the final three.
But the highlight of this series will be the matchup of the superstars: Lebron James and Tim Duncan. Duncan figures to present matchup problems for Cleveland, because he is going to dominate the paint. He has been consistently steady, but more importantly opens up the floor for his teammates, averaging 20 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
LeBron has been accused of disappearing at various times this season, but when he shows up to play, he’s the only player on the floor worth watching. His 48-point Game 5 performance against the Pistons when he willed his team to victory showed how unstoppable he can be, even in a non-creative offense. No one can stop James in single coverage, seems likely be up to LeBron alone to deliver wins.
The NBA wants to keep the casual fan interested and the best way is by keeping the games competitive. Fans have come out of the woodwork since Lebron's monster game #5. They'll be tuning into the
Finals and many of them cheering for Lebron to play the role of David vs. Goliath. It's tough for me to see the Spurs coming out on fire in game #1 after an 8 day layoff. I also don't think Cleveland is that bad. They have a ton of momentum right now.This game will be very tight inside the final minute and win or lose and the Cavs will stay inside this price tonight.

sehr sehr schade...LeBron war noch nicht warm
[[heul]]
 
Muss perspolis hier wiedersprechen: Glaube nicht, dass Cleveland eine Chance in den Finals haben wird. Bin der Meinung, dass San Antonio die nötigen Mittel hat Lebron James so weit zu "stoppen" und selber die richtigen Entscheidungen treffen wird, so dass sie die Serie locker gewinnen werden. Gehe ehrlich gesagt von einem 4:1 oder 4:2- Sieg der Spurs aus und glaube auch, dass sie heute nacht den Spread covern werden. Hab leider nicht viel Zeit, daher keine ausführliche analyse, und wohl leider auch etwas spät, doch trotzdem möchte ich San Antonio (-7.5) empfehlen. Vielleicht wird Cleveland ein, zwei Spiele stehlen, doch ich denke San Antonio wird sich das erste Spiel nicht nehmen lassen und die erfahrenen Spieler wissen worauf es ankommt. Ausserdem würde ich noch die Gewinnvorsprünge von 6-10 @ 4.15 und 11-15 @ 5 mit kleinen stakes empfehlen.
Also zusammenfassend:
High conf. auf Sieg SA, allerdings zu kleine Quote
Medium-high conf. auf SA (-7.5)
small stake Gewinnvorsprünge von 6-10 @4.15 und 11-15 @5


Viel glück [[yo]] [[yo]]
 
ich gehe keineswegs von einem Cavs sieg in den finals aus, habe ich auch nirgends geschrieben...teile deine meinung sogar und gehe auch von einem 4:1 oder 4:2 der spurs aus, einzige aussage war, dass ich denke, dass die cavs das spiel heute covern werden, in diesem sinne dir viel glück [[yo]]
