NBA Postseason Game of the Year

I understand how those who are not yet long-time clients to JDP would be cynical about us having a GOY in the most anticipated game in years. But not after you read the analysis and not after it wins. As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

Well, this is probably the most bounce back angles in one game since we nailed the Western Conference Postseason GOY. Among them has big playoff favorites off a big loss is 112-58, while a specific one off a blowout loss is a very impressive 82-38. There are others and of course many overlap, but in short, the better the team and the bigger the loss, the more likely teams are to bounce back.

Also home court advantage is worth about five points. Yet this line suggests that the teams are even. Oh I will go with the defending NBA champs off a record breaking season in the better conference. Oh home teams are 28-15 in Game 7s ATS and that is by 9.8 ppg.
