Round 2 discussion thread

2daBank

Dan Dan, The Prop Man
You guys can change this or whatever/however ya wanna format but milw/Boston the only series I see up for discussion and I’m ready to talk bout this stuff!

Am I crazy or doesn’t several of these round 2 matchups have the feel of being conf finals quality?

defending champ bucks vs the new everyone’s fav to make the final Celtics! That has 7 written all over it!! Super physical, great defense, should be excellent chess matches along the way!!!

Heat/76ers the least interesting to me and it not exactly chopped liver!! Harden looked lot better tonight! Still hate him,

Dallas/suns I think another that gonna be a great one! Luka finally past round 1, think the battles with clippers has prepared him/mavs for this! Suns have some guys that can make it tough for luka but mavs bigs have the range to draw Ayton away from the rim. Suns won all the meetings but Dallas was leading going into 4th of them all I believe! Both teams can d up. When this series start? Sooner the better for mavs. Suns could use little time for book to heal up more.

Moved all the dates into 1st post. I didht put much thought into this when I started. I shoot 1st, think later!! Lol
 
assuming grizz finish wolves off either Friday or Sunday then all the seeds held in round 1. 1-4 and 2-3 in both conf,
 
I know one thing, griz get down against warriors the way they have fallen behind in pretty much every game this series they will be done in 5.
 
Feel like griz kinda matchup decently with GS the only reason I say they could win 2. Experience a real problem in that one tho!
 
Brooks and bane can kinda get up in klay and Poole kitchen, they got length and athletic, warriors got the brains tho.
 
Interesting series prop bet. Grayson Allen to make most 3s in milw/Boston is +500, Tatum is fav at -200, brown 3rd at +650. Allen worth a shot imo.

Series to go 6 games is +210, 7 games the fav at +175.

Boston -210/milw +175

Boston feels awful expensive,
 
Heat -175/76ers +145

6 games +200
7 games +160

Don’t see any kind of series scoring props yet. Or a price on series spread.
 
Suns -330/mavs +240

That all I see for this one as of now. Thinking might be decent numbers to take 6 and 7 games and mavs +1.5 games! Def gotta get some decent plus tho, 4-2 suns feels kinda right.
 
Booker played 32 minutes tonight, not much of a restriction! You would think come Monday he be just about his normal self without limits.
 
All the higher seeds won in the first round (#2 v #7 in the West pending).

No Middleton for the Mucks is pretty significant in the Boston series.

Would have been a hell of series if both teams were fully healthy.

That being said it's not going less than 6 games.
 
Looks like I’m alone on this but I took Boston -1.5 series +130. I initially felt this was going 7 for sure but I’m not sure I trust the bucks supporting cast here without Middleton. While I agree Brooklyn ended up being overrated, I also will say I’ve never seen KD shut down like that. Boston has been on another level since the asb
 
Horses, 1 week til Derby!

they have never really did it for me. i have maybe bet derby 5x in my life. i used to like going to local track few times a year and playing around but never interested me beyond that for some reason.
 
havnt even been to track since fanduel moved in but i dont think there been races since that happened due to rona, think i heard they coming back this year., i would like to go check out fanduel book anyways, it just way further away (like a 30 something min drive into illinios i think) compared to dk right across river.

That's where my buddy goes, said DK and Fanduel are same amount of drive time but has account with Fanduel and never tempted to go to the casino, think he just chills in the book

im def ok with giving boston credit for shitting on kd, just think defending bucks a lot more difficult as it not one of 2 guys taking ball and trying to score every trip,. they actually run offense. im really not sure i think middleton is a huge loss, sure it hurts a bit, mostly on defense and at end of games probably, i dont think replacing his overall production a problem, actually think they prob get more efficient offense without him, just lose the create own shot ability. i think bucks bring a physicality that gonna be a big change from last series where celtics were the bullies. end of day im not confident saying either wins but we def butting heads on that series spread, -145 feels awful cheap to get the defending champs +1.5 games!!

yea you mentioned that to me, if he lives in missouri im at a total loss how it the same drive, maybe if he lives like out in boonies south or something there a way to fanduel that wouldnt be much further but for life of me i cant figure out how? the horse track where fanduel at is a good 30 min drive into illinios out in middle of nowhere! and DK is right across river just 10 min north from where you would cross into illinios to go to fanduel,, i dunno, beats me.
 
Warriors -2 gm1 in memphis. Yes please. Normally I’d be all bout getting a win with the home dog but this one feels ripe for grizz to get smacked around. They gonna celebrate a little, they gonna get down like always, warriors won’t give the lead up, they wanna flip home court right out the box and establish dominate over the up and comers.
 
I’d bet one of these dogs will win their series:

Bucks
Grizz
Mavs

Which one though? Possible that 2 win? Ruling out 76ers beating the Heat with no Embiid

I think bucks and mavs both have pretty decent shot. I don’t think grizz take more than 2 off warriors for real.
 
All said and done I think it gonna be suns/dubs in west but I do think mavs will make it interesting.
 
If Booker reinjures his hamstring I could see Dallas in 7

And that’s a definite possibility. Battling a pulled hamstring for the last 4 months. Just when I think it’s better and I push myself a little harder on a sprint, bang it tweaks and we’re back to square one. So fucking frustrating!
 
I like mavs to take them 7 even with booker healthy. I think suns will win in 7 long as he good to go tho.
