This years version brings some extra wine as Mike Brown revisits his Cavaliers haunting past when he faces the San Antonio Spurs in quest of his first coaching championship.

It was LeBron's maiden voyage and Tim Duncan and company said welcome to the lease with a 4-0 sweep some 16 years ago.

They bring that immature arrogant spirit returning to the second round wanting to illustrate they belong on this stage.  What these teams exude and execute on the floor are entirely two different realities.

Plenty of motivation right there huh ... well hopefully its enough for the Knicks to huff and puff and overcome the mighty fall of Eastern Conference teams own a

7-20 ATS off a Su Win 6 > Pts

The Western collection of championship candidates play with more confidence off big wins carrying the mojo onto Game 1 owning a 15-10 $ATS mark coming off wins of 6 or more points

So to break it down Game 41 ( Round 4 • Game 1 ) pits two teams both coming off above average wins and the execution has favored the West going 35-17 $ATS to ride with them in the Series opener.

Lets open a can of Whoop-ass on this Knicks who as a franchise struggle on the road in the Finals.  Continue enjoying the fragrance when you join the SportsData Magic Fun Bus and check in daily with the 2 Minutes SportsData NBA 2 Mins and 4 Core Winning Models.
