Vegas just respects the Spurs too much. I want to bet on SA, but 6 pts in Seattle, when Seattle is 6-0 at home in playoffs? Damn, that is a weird line....something is amiss.

The over under has been about the same 186 in every game, no matter where they play. I have bet on the over the last 2 games and won....maybe I will do same.

I think it is because the Spurs are virtually unbeatable while closing out a series up 3-1 I think. I saw some stat about that.

Usually close out games are not close. They end up being blowouts most times, so I can understand why the 6pt margin.

Also, we do not know the status of Rashard Lewis also. So there's a good chance that if he plays(gametime decision) the odds would change.

Perhaps the bigwigs know what I suspect, that Seattle will fold under the pressure of an elimination game. At home or not.
