Anyone who cares about long-term winning is a permanent
client of Godspicks. But as far as
those who like the hot hand, The Center of the Handicapping Universe Godspicks.com is 8-2 in the NHL
including nailing all four Wise Guy plays, led by Dandy Dog Edmonton again last
night. 

In the NBA our solid start to finish playoff run sees us 5-2 with Wise Guy plays.  While every sucker and their brother had Cleveland
yesterday, we nailed Detroit.  Tonight a lot of suckers are on the wrong
side and we have a Wise Guy play on the NBA winner.  We have three MLB including a Wise Guy.

Wise Guy plays from Godspicks are widely accepted by high
rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play
in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact. The ENTIRE card  is just
$17 at www.godspicks.com.  Alternate forms of payment
are available

Godspicks is proud to be part of the Handicapper’s Sampler rundown
of which sports services are hot and who has the big play at JoeDuffy.net  

NBA

Clippers-Suns

USA Today

In the Suns-Clippers series, the winning team has failed
to score 100 points only once and the Clippers are averaging 114.3 points, 17.1
more than in the regular season. The Suns are averaging 109.8, 1.4 more than
the regular season.

The Suns are now headed into their second straight game
seven. Last round, the Suns defeated the LA Lakers, 121-90 back at home in game
seven. The Suns appeared to be a little sluggish out on the floor. Phoenix
had good reason to be tired, they’ve played every
other day since April 26, for a total of 12 games in 22 days.

Mavericks-Spurs

American Statesmen

The Spurs were not built for this
series, which is tied at three victories apiece before the decisive game
tonight in
San
Antonio
.
The Spurs’ roster, Walton suggested, was put together for tangling with
Shaquille O’Neal — first with the Los Angeles Lakers, now Miami — and the
Detroit Pistons. Those are teams generally constructed along traditional lines,
their offense produced by a mix of players posting up inside, driving and
shooting from the perimeter.
Dallas, on the other hand, is predominantly a
perimeter-based team that drives and shoots a lot of jump shots. The Mavs, quick and skilled, have forced
San Antonio to use a smaller lineup, negating to a large
degree the Spurs’ biggest asset while winning three
NBA titles since 1999: interior defense. Fortunately for the Spurs, they have
adapted well enough to win the last two games.
Recent NBA history
suggests that the Spurs have an advantage tonight. Since 2000-01, home teams
have a 13-3 record in the seventh game of playoff series. But in this matchup,
who really knows? The teams have split 10 games this season, each winning twice
on the road. Dallas won Game 2 in San
Antonio
by 22 points, the only blowout of the series.
The other five have been decided by a total of 14 points. In Game 6, Dallas
shot 38.6 percent, scoring 39 points in the second half. The Mavs shot airballs at the end of
all three Spurs’ victories, one apiece by Jerry Stackhouse, Terry and Nowitzki.
The absence of Terry, an adept shooter who scored 32 points in Game 4, enabled
the Spurs to provide help against other Mavericks on Friday. Stackhouse missed
11 of 15 shots, Devin Harris 11 of 14. Now Terry returns, and the Spurs have
regained homecourt advantage.  In this
series, the Spurs have allowed 113.3 points in their three defeats and 89.3
while winning.

Dallas already
has blown two chances to advance. A third would make the Mavericks only the
ninth team in league history to squander a 3-1 series lead.
