i think theres value with spurs +280, books are not stupid, they wont give you SA at +400 or +500 unless they know they're out. This series is just getting started, so far everything that was supposed to happen happened, home team held the serve. If you really want to bet NO to win the series wait untill they lose game 3, cause they will then you;ll get a lot better price.

Spurs are probably one of the last teams I would count out. If they win 2 at home then I would really look out for them to win the series. NO is a young team and that may crush their confidence, rush and high the are likely feeling right now. Should this happen the spurs may steal a game in NO, but with that said they Spurs MUST win the next two.

No, the Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=4437" target="_blank">Bookmakers aren't stupid. Ask yourself what it is that they know that you don't and figure out what it is.

I don't think the Spurs can pull it off. They just look old compared to the Hornets even with the game 3 win. And SanAntonio might win game 4 too but I don't think they can win in NO. JMO

I agree, and now with the series at 2-1 the Hornets price seems pretty attractive.

in situation like this, you should bet NO +6 today, if they fail to cover then they obviously will lose the game straight up, which will cause the series line to drop to id say round -130. If that happens you could still catch the same bet ( NO sereies) at a lot better price, also there exists a possiblity of NO losing but covering, therefore youd win your ats bet and also get NO series price at -130, it makes no sense right now to bet them for the series.
