I think this line is so fishy, I hope I'm wrong with what's on my mind right now.
Even if SMB is an underdog but they should not be +5.5, I wish we have some update on what's happening inside like the NBA where there's a lot of source of information.

A little update ,SMB is +4.5 now, maybe money are coming in from SMB faithful.

Terrence Jones can score at will and it seems nobody from the SMB side could stop him. No wonder that Houston Rockets is interested in his service once again. Expect a more physical game on game 2 and a low scoring ball game. My bet is under 200, either way.

He didn't play too much because TNT is playing a fast pace game, they can't win with Fajardo as the center, they need a faster center that can defend Jones, but unfortunately, there's no one from their team.

SMB just didn't play well last night, and because of that, I lose all my bets I shared here.
I like the situation of the SMB here that they are the underdog, and I don't think they will be sweep in this series so I will keep betting on them.

I am wondering what would be the line for game 2, SMB should be +5 or more, and I'll bet on the ML for that.

I don't think that they got lazy on the defensive end, it's just that the Katropa's design play click, those kick out pass for a triple and the two man game between Jones and Rosario really did damage on the SMB. If half of those 3's did not go in, SMB would still be in the game but unfortunately the TNT was raining 3's on them. Just as i have said earlier that game 2 would be physical to distract the focal point of the TNT's offense which is Jones.

They will adjust and improve in game 2, I don't see a blow out win again by TNT in case they can still win game 2 to take the series to 2-0.
SMB is a good team but Terrence Jones is a super Import with a real NBA caliber, they should focus on stopping him or minimize his contribution at least.

Terrence Jones made a big difference between this two teams, SMB needs to work with their defense as this import can fully dominates the game whoever guarding him, he's unstoppable indeed, the level of his skills showed higher than any players around him if SMB wanted to stay from this series the locals needs to step up and bring the game to their control they need to make a good defensive and offensive adjustments,.

Not valid any more since TNT is leading 1-0 now 
I will offer it again if it's tied though (and maybe figure out modified odds now that TNT is up 1-0)

No one dealt on my offered bet. BTC0.005 - BTC0.01 for TNT.

Since TNT already got the lead, I will offer +1 for SMB this series. They just need to win 3 games and you win.

Valid only today (until 11:59pm Forum time). I won't accept any deal after that. First come first serve or thinking risking up to 5 bettors. Whew.

Outside and perimeter shooting of TNT also destroys SMB's defense. The same way they did against Alaska on Quarterfinals.

The system is; Jones will penetrate the mid, 1 defender = go for the bucket, 2 defenders = either push for a bucket or find open teammates, 3 defenders = will leave their outside shooters uncontested. Jones also has the ability to fake pass that's why defender is confused on which he will pass the ball.

The only way SMB can slowdown TNT's offense are: 1) stop Jones at any cost 2) limit TNT's outside shooting.
