1st half was 64-57 in game #3 with NY winning by 7 (Even on spread) and O/U over 111. Based on the analysis I shared on Steve's site, it was winner again. All the professional expert handicappers were on San Antonio, so I went with NY half and game. As for O/U, it was split between over and under so basically no play if you go by the system. Let's see if NY covers the game. (We don't know what each of the pros selected on their clients' play - hope they won. However, based on their comp plays, if they were all on the same team to cover, going opposite always won so far. GL Hope you're doing well with this system. Make sure you share the pro handicappers' comp plays so we know which way to go in game #4. We can all try to win together!

If I had $80,000 I would buy every Steve Merrilโs pick until the money ran out. But the problem with that is, I would make more money by having Steve advise me. So I would never lose at all.

Steve you said you read the comments..I have been saying that SA does NOT have a CLOSER!! when the game is on the line who takes the shot?? The NYK have a veteran presence..KAT..Brundon..Hart or Annouby are comfortable...its not a knock on the spurs...this isn't a loss but an experience..they will be tough next year...and NO WAY NYK lose tonight...not playing ANY OF SA starters over

My opinion is 2.5 knicks is either easy money or Vegas getting ready to take all Knick ML bets tonight.
I think from a gambling perspective Knocks have to lose game 3 or 4 if not they are handing out easy money the next 2 games to a team every one knows has won 12:13 straight- get prepared because a 4-0 sweep I dont think happens

KAT plays Wemby well. Brunson is the more reliable star and excellent in clutch time. The defense intensity will be high. The under is historically better in the finals. I like the knicks, and the under.

In what other sport would you fade a 13 win streak? NFL, MLB, NHL, UFC, Boxing, Ping pong??
Spurs side seems like the right side to me too, but theyโve already failed at home twice! Knicks or no bet for me.

I appreciate the Knicks fans in the comments. However, MSG, celebrity, the president, the most security ever, etc. I agree with Steve that the Spurs might play looser. S.A. is just a bit too young, but I think they take this. The NBA desperately wants a 6 or 7 game series. Officiating may lean S.A. and, the Knicks have looked pedestrian at times. They certainly aren't a blowout powerhouse. I say S.A. 113-108
More User Perspectives
I actually like Harper under 19.5 P/R, I think bettors will see 19.5 and think "well he can OBVIOUSLY get 20+, he's done it 3 in a row." I also like Hart over 22.5 P/R/A, KAT under 29.5 P/R, and Wemby under 14.5/15.5 R/A (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
@paulweeldreyer7457Funny. You Atkinsoned the Spurs to being the better team despite blowing double digit leads. This is a Knicks team on a mission and Brunson is gonna go off at home
@jewald4387Knicks have played good in the Garden all Year !
@thomasbowe6822I didn't bet the spread last game because the spot favored the Spurs, but I'm not convinced that the Spurs are the superior team. I think we've seen that the experience/age factor has been VERY important, probably more than most of us thought they would be. A double digit lead only matters if the team has the maturity to finish. How does the young team handle a must win game?
If you like the Spurs tonight, betting them to win the series, then to hedge off of it, is probably the way to play it.
Youโre the best in the business Steve! Iโm 80% sure Iโm gonna buy your NFL package this season.
@robertandrews1781Knicks win game 3 and 4 Sweep em!!! ๐ฎ
@thomasbowe6822U zigged when we should have zagged
@MiguelLopez-zf7fuHeโs a great handicapper but this is the video of a man that can believe he was wrong and canโt let go.
@johndevine3955No way on 80,000. Watch on tv
@dennisk905Damn Steve they hating man hope we win tn
@JordanSmith-sj3frWith all the negative comments below I'm feeling really GREAT about the Spurs tonight!
@Tee-dg6fzThe Knicks are going to win the series but the spurs will win 2nite. With the circus itโs going to be with the high ticket prices and trump in the house I can see the spurs winning by a decent margin.

@BLew-pl1bflol,,' I THINK THE ZIG ZAG WORKS OFF BACK TO BACK LOSSES".......THANKS STEVE....AND Wemby IS 7;4..NOT 7;6....Stevo..cmon man, your praying for Spurs......im still taking Spurs, because too much money will be lost if its a sweep. Spurs cannot get swept, powers that be will not allow it.
@MilwRobKnicks will win tonight. They will lose game 4
@LamontJacksonSpurs
@elmago-ParlayKingSpurs could easily be up 2-0..I think they win next 2... i like spurs and champagnie over pts and mikal over pts
