To say the ball did not bounce my way is an understatement. The heavily playoff experienced Motown started to laugh and joke with a big lead. They totally lost focus, missed layups, ft's and I think made 4 baskets in the 4th Q. Would that have happened under coach Brown? I will answer no. No way. That one actually hurt worse than the goofy 2H over on Boston. Which was a brutal 1 point loss. I guess an 18 point lead was not good enough going into the 4th. Been so long since Boston has been in playoffs they felt compelled to score 31 in the 4th of a decided game. That just sucked, and the gambling goddess spit in my face. But coach Flip just does not work for me, never has. Normally Motown, now Woetown as in woe is me, would have went over by 10, maybe more. Normally a playoff experience club slows it down at the end, in a blowout, the first game of a series. Didn't happen. Actually after the Celts game only had 39 point 3rd, I turned on Sponge Bob to watch with my kids. Sponge Bob jinxed me. If you are going to have an excuse it might as well be stupid as hell. Next.
Better than starting out -7.7 like my late reg season thread. At least I am not in a deep ass hole to climb out of. As far as capping, I felt pretty good. Had some Barcas. Good money management. Even good recovery on in trouble Laker total. Like NCAA, gave up on Cinderella dog Davidson too early, gave up on 76ers. They had never won there during playoffs in Motown, and had horrible playoff experience mismatch. Just don't like dogs this early, and my other two were the only other two that covered. So had that right. Needed a bounce or two to even out, but they were not there. One of those weekends where you don't get them, maybe when we are up in the 4-5 units I will get them all to make up for it. Like I say, I would rather get notched, knowing at least my reads and calls were right. If I was losing by 20, I would be losing confidence. Would note a lot of things did not go according to form, especially playoff experience. Spurs, no cover, Motown lose outright, Mavs get blasted. So much for that game #1. Also really doubt Motown will challenge anyone, let alone the Celts, they will be lucky to escape 76ers. And then should face sleeping Giant Magic.
Back to the grind, 1 game at a time, money management and that slow climb. My goal, +25 units. If I am fortunate enough to reach that, I will probably keep going, but that is at least a target to shoot for. I'm ready for these game two's. It's almost pick the winner now, as pointspreads are small.
