NBA Playoffs - First Round 2011

[Rick121212]

The first games of the first round are under way with the Bulls only just managing to beat the Pacers with a cracking last few minutes. I got on the under which unfortunately went way over, but placed a bet on the Bulls in play to win @ 1.76 which won. Now placed a bet on Under 192.5 Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.83 (in-play again, missed the beginning of the game) due to the nature of playoff games and thinking this was capable of going under, but the game hasn't started well. The Heat went under in 4 of their last 5 and I think are capable of defending well against the 76ers here, but I'm not sure they can beat the massive handicap. Now bets I'm in time for below...

Re: NBA Playoffs - First Round 2011 Game 1 - Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic - Under 181 points @ 1.943 (Pinnacle) The Hawks and the Magic have played out 4 games this season which all have gone quite considerably under, with the three most recent games finishing on 167, 172, and 154, well below this total. With this also being a playoffs game I expect much of the same, and both teams have a strong defense capable of handling the oppositions offense. Both teams finished under in their last 2 games, and both teams don't have an extremely strong offense. There is also a trend with playoff games going under, and with these two teams being strong defensive teams I expect nothing more than 180 points.
