The Against All Odds NBA Conference Finals Series Plays:
Pistons +129 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.29 units
Big backcourt advantage for the Pistons, especially if The Artist Formerly Known As Ray Allen continues his sabbatical to parts unknown. Tayshaun should be able to keep Pierce in check or, at least, force him to continue to take crazy off-balance shots from 18 feet over and over again. I think 'Sheed, Maxiell, and McDyess will drive KG to the point of madness. Rondo not quite ready for prime time against Billups.
Spurs +234 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 2.34 units
If Bowen and company can continue to hold Kobe to reasonable numbers (Kobe averaged 24 points per game in 4 games vs. the Spurs this season), I think the Spurs have the edge everywhere else. If the Spurs don't have to double Kobe, then Pau Gasol doesn't get left alone under the basket for uncontested dunks/layups, and I'm not sure he can score any other way. Who guards Duncan for the Lakers? Who's quick enough to cover Parker without fouling him on drives?
If we get one of these, we're happy. If we get both, we're very happy, and Stern jumps off a bridge.
