While the Hawks are certainly capable and worthy of our respect, I feel that Vancouver is likely to win this series.

After sweeping the Blues, the Canucks have had an extra long layoff. That can work both ways. On one hand, it can cause a little bit of early “rust.” On the other hand, it allows players some time to recover from any nagging bumps and bruises.

I expect the Canucks, who were as impressive as any team in the first round, to use the added rest to their advantage. They’re an outstanding 15-2 their last 17 home games (4-0 L4) and I look for them to start things off with a victory. Consider Vancouver for the game and the series.

Ben Burns only bet one one NBA game yesterday, a 91-78 winner on Orlando. Now 91-68 his L159 NBA releases, Ben is also UNDEFEATED in the Atlanta/Miami series. Today, he serves up the “correct call” from Game 5. It’s his latest MAIN EVENT. If you liked last Wednesday’s double-digit winner on the Magic ‘under,’ you’ll LOVE this BEAUTY!
