BAW Nation NBA Playoffs...
- Thread starter B.A.R.
- Start date
Still some left in OT but the bucks are likely heading home for G6.
This team simply wanted it tonight much more. Hustle plays, offensive rebounds and a team effort. This wasn't all Giannis.
I'll likely have a pregame bet on Indiana for G6 but this was a very impressive game by Milwaukee. Easily their best performance.
The Pacers have mostly dominated all but one half till tonight. Bucks won over 3 quarters tonight.

Pretty much a regular
All Indy had to do was stop two people really and the game should have been bagged. Easiest game of the series and they came out napping. You let a team make 20 three pointers you deserve to be going home for the season.

Lol. Jesus what an insane game and crazy ending.
True.
And holy effin shlit!
Trent Jr both with an incredible overtime and brutal last 30 seconds.
Live --
Boston -4.5 -112
Hoping they get their heads out of their asses and I can turn into middles later.
Leaving a live play on LA Clippers.
Denver offense cannot play better than this, in a playoff setting.
As @Inspekdah says, the Denver D sucks.
I can play +5 or +5.5 but honestly want to see a few possessions to start the 2h.
I wouldn't hate anyone playing Clips -3 right now though...

Hate that I like both home favs tonight but they are on their home courts with their backs against the wall.

Fly, Eagles, Fly!
Can Pistons finally win a home playoff game and force a game 7…….?
I think so.

I’m rooting for them. Though a lot of trends against them tonight…
Talk to me trend wise...
Brunson is so unbearable. I genuinely don’t understand how he has any self-respect. For the worst things that Americans say about soccer players, this foul-baiting bitch is at least as bad.

Saw a couple things about home favs in the playoffs coming off a straight up win as a dog on the road. A couple others I’ll have to find. Plus, both of Detroits wins this series were on the road…
Jalen one of my favorite basketball players...
But this series has definitely made me put my fandom of him way on the back burner.
As for tonight...
I do think both home teams win the games. That doesn't mean that I am putting pregame money on either.
I'm more confident in the LAC in that regard. I think they might steamroll this game. Denver has shot extremely well for 7 of the last 8 quarters (it seems). There is a bit of regression due in my opinion. I honestly might change my mind later and lay the points or set up an open ML parlay. More likely is a live bet at some point.
I still believe that LA is the better overall team. The problem is Denver has Jokic and Bubble Murray is starting to appear as well. The forwards have played solid.
On the other end The Clippers can score pretty easily. What holds them back? Turnovers and frankly trying to fight back from deficits these last two games.
Fast start is essential tonight at home. I think we see that.
Detroit is more of a gut feel. This team is just different. They still lack that 2nd go-to guy but the defense keeps them in games late.
Now, we've seen many a road close out in G6 over the years and this could have all the trademarks of one. We'll see. This might be the first game that doesn't come down to the last few minutes though...
I do have a prop in this one. I think the Knicks continue to really focus on Cade -- more opportunities for a guy like Ausur to get into the dunk position and find opportunities on cuts. Foul trouble and bad FT shooting is the issue here...
But, I think we see a bit more tempo -- break opportunities and have to love young guys playing at home. Ausur feeding off a huge game #5
Ausur Thompson o9.5 points 2 units

Not going to look too much into SU record in Cade era (1-11) since the team was so bad -- but solid Knicks ref too.
Knicks 4-1 this year, Stons 0-3 I believe...

Bump. Set. Shuma!
Saw this little nugget today. Can't argue w/70%!
In Game 1, James Harden scored 32 points on 11-for-22 from the field. Since then, he has scored 20 points once and has one game above 45% from the field. Tonight, the Clippers face elimination, and it will need a big game from Harden to stay alive. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but one thing has been true in this series. As Harden's scoring goes down, his turnovers go up.
As a primary ballhandler with a 30% usage rate, Harden certainly is not immune to turning the ball over. In the regular season, he averaged 4.3 turnovers per game, and his career average is 3.7 per game. That has carried over to the playoffs as well, where he averages 3.4 turnovers in his postseason career. He has 26 playoff games with more turnovers than made field goals, including Tuesday night.
Denver does not have the stingiest defense, but it forces approximately eight steals and 12 turnovers per game, combining the regular season and playoffs. Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook, Jamal Murray, and Christian Braun have each averaged over a steal per game this season. The Nuggets have forced Harden into four turnovers in three of the last four games in this series and seven of the last nine meetings overall. He has cleared this line at a 70% clip this season, and I will certainly take those odds at +100.
Pick: James Harden Over 3.5 Turnovers (+105, Fanatics)

Denver +8.5 -105
I have my ML play.
For now, I'd rather not be stuck with a multi possession tariff. Simply put, Denver is too good on offense.
Maybe I'll dip back in on LAC after the next run.
divol
The Spurs can suck my manhood
Was actually writing same thing. I like Curry over Jimmie tonight as far as props go
I understand the matchups but I think their is a good effort tonight to get him going. I expect DD FTs as well.
I don't know what to think in Denver tomorrow night. I do know that the Clippers need to value the ball and to play defense like they did the last 6-7 mins of the game 6 third quarter in order to win.
I simply have the future pending here on LA Clippers. That's it.
I'd assume this one goes under, or there is a terrific angle within the game or on the live market.
I'll be back around 5:30 Eastern tomorrow cramming in any plays + Derby.
Plus, I have my Colorado Avalanche "sweat" for series bet simultaneously.
These leagues keep screwing over the Metropolitan Denver area fans with the games at the same time.

I didn't find the exact one I wanted, although AG is probably it.
Bubble Murray o22.5 points +110 2 units
He's simply been too solid. Might be a 28+ game.
It was Braun ..
Maybe Murray gets hot but I doubt her gets past 20 now. The role players eating and I even said that. I just picked the wrong game for a Murray prop. He's a big game player so I am pretty shocked.
Oh well, just win and he's happy I'm sure.
Not including in record but I did sneak this in... My point here is to be patient and get your number. I wanted 105.5 to 107.5 after the start of the quarter.
I'll be stalking more unders in 2h.

This is just for 1st round series bets + game bets + props.
Clippers future from regular season has expired.
Houston, New York and Indiana futures are still alive. That may be all over (likely) in the next two weeks.
Happy with my first round plays -- except the series bet on the Lakers.
