PACERS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's awfully hard for anybody to come into Conseco and win.

I expect a lot of these games to be very close, much like tonight. Seeing Miller hit that 3 brought back memories of those Pacers vs. Knicks series of the 1990's.

#1 Baby!!!

Minus 2 1/2 on the Pacers and thank you very much, 48-41. Everyone around me at the Treasure Island sportsbook was agonizing over the 3 missed free throws at game's end that screwed up the 5 point spread, 78-74. The game ended more than an hour earlier for me.

I wish I had discovered 1st half betting a decade earlier. The home favorites have been absolutely dominant in the first half this playoff season. But the damn incompetent Twolves are a home dog vs. the Lakers and not to be trusted. For reference purposes, both the Rockets and Spurs were favored every home game vs. the Lakers, but these top seeded Twolves are held in such low esteem in Las Vegas the Lakers are 2 1/2 to 3 point chalk, even on the road.
