Suns +2 for 1unit.

Good LucK Loonz!! I'm still working on a few things for tonighrts game....but believe if the Bulls are going to win one or be very close this is the one,,,check out trents in the zig-zag theroy:Zig Zags are trendy applications that have been profitable moneymakers during the playoffs. The play is simple: Play On a team off a playoff loss in its very next game. The theory is that in a short series, involving imminent elimination, a team in more inclined to bounce back with a good effort off a losing performance than it is to continue its losing ways. How have these plays held up of late? You might be surprised. Here are pointspread results of NBA Playoff Zig Zags from 1991 through 2009.Game onOverall: 611-532-27Game Two: 149-125-12Game Three: 163-118-14Game Four: 127-124-4Game Five: 93-95-5Game Six: 57-50Game Seven: 22-20 The strength of NBA Zig Zags appears to be in Game Three. That’s generally where lower seeds return home after opening the series as a visitor. They tend to step up the pace when doing so off a loss. Round ‘em upRound One: 283-246-12Round Two: 191-163-7Round Three: 93-83-6Round Four: 44-40-22nd Round games ...Game three after a lose is the highest winning % ...but still need to watch public money....didn't mean to be so wordy but I take this very seriously!

Good Job Loonz!!! Some cappers will made fun of the zig zag approch but it just one small factor I use and it doesn't always apply,,,as in my Boston pick tonight,,,most will be on the Heat,,,but my gut says NO......sometime that is your best answer when you have run all the numbers...I wish some of the more experience winners on this site would share more about there details of the game they like..... I'm older but continue to learn ....GL and Welcome..
