Welcome back to some suh-weet "Home Team Always Wins" Playoffs. That fact hopefully helped you ride New Orleans to victory last night while others were riding the "But San Antonio is hot right now" card. Those who don't know their history, are doomed to repeat it. While playoffs usually result in a hard fought, drag out match...these playoffs are heavily leaning towards the home team favorite. Not to spoil my prediction for tomorrow's game, but on to the matchup...
New Orleans @ San Antonio (Hornets up 3-2)
Man, the Hornets can taste the conference finals. Their fans can't wait to put their yellow shirts on and await the LA/Utah winner. Wait, wouldn't that be confusing if they face the Lakers?? Nevermind. San Antonio, just as homey, don't play that. Wow...talk about dating yourself. Anyway, as we've seen in the past five games of this series, the home team "eventually" blows out the visiting dog. I say eventually, because in four of the five games, the visitor is leading at halftime. Amazing! So, why go against the series mojo. Bet San Antonio for the game, but throw in an extra wager if you're feeling lucky and bet the Hornets in the first half. Ride that wave!!
Pick: San Antonio -7
So there you have it. Two bets for one game. It's a daily-double! See you on the court!!!
