21 May 2013 Playoff 2nd day matches
Pick: Pinar Karsiyaka ML @ 1.70
Stake:10/10
Pinar Karsiyaka is more close to the quarter finals than they haven't been for more than 10 years, so they'll aim to finish it today. With the home court support, the painful season for Fenerbahce Ulker ends today. Full stakes.

20 May 2013 Playoff 2nd day matches
Pick: Besiktas First Half -2.5 @ 1.88
Stake: 8/10
The first match up between those teams occurred in a way such that either head coach tried hard to dedicate the victory to the other one. Both teams made so stupid mistakes that it was only the buzzer beater of Serkan Erdogan which determined the final result. Besiktas kept almost the entire game under control;however, they lost the game, thanks to poor management of head coach Erman Kunter.
In case of a loss, Besiktas is kicked out of the playoffs, so they better take everything more seriously from the first minute.
Pick: Under 158.5 @ 1.88
Stake: 8/10
Anadolu Efes suffered a shocking defeat. Similar to Besiktas, another loss means the end of the road for Anadolu Efes as this round of the playoffs are determined by 2 victories out of 3 possible games. I'm not sure about the spread as Ted Kolejliler is a team that's capable of scoring one way or another. Therefore, it has to be the other way around for Anadolu Efes to win this match up; defense. They need to limit Ted Kolejliler team on the offense because Anadolu Efes offensive qualities are heavily damaged due to the absences, mainly Jordan Farmar. Under is the best choice for this crucial game.

18 May 2013 Playoff 1st day matches
Pick: Galatasaray Medical Park First Half -7.5 @ 1.88
Stake: 10/10
Galatasaray is one of the favourites of this playoffs(along with Anadolu Efes) for winning the title. Their head coach Ergin Ataman is aiming to win his second straight league title as he won it last year with Besiktas Milangaz. His guys are very likely to have been motivated to show how competent they are already in the first game. I expect home side Galatasaray Medical Park to smash visiting Tofas team already at the first half.
Full stakes.
Pick: Pinar Karsiyaka +7.5 @ 1.88
Stake: 8/10
This is another even series besides Banvit-Besiktas one. There isn't such significant strength difference between Pinar Karsiyaka and Fenerbahce Ulker. During the regular season, Pinar Karsiyaka won both match ups. In a game where they even have a chance to win, the given spread is way too high. So, we better take advantage of it.
