NBA In-Game Thread

So tomorrow GSW wins and we start the second round with 4 road wins? Wonder if that ever happened...

Books are seemingly getting their compensation for Overs flowing like water. 16-3 last 19 (depending on what line you got for the NY/Bos game, otherwise 15-3-1)

Edit: NHL 9-1 Over last 10 too. Anyone just blindly parlaying playoff overs across the 2 sports is setting themselves to retire before the big dances even start.

Do you remember the unders count the first 15-20 games of the NBA playoffs?

The West started out 10-0 to Under, I think the East had a slight Over bias but can't be sure didn't backtrack their results when I was creating the Elim thread.

All good, figured I'd check. I knew there was an under bias to start.

That will come back, soon. Tomorrow night very likely.

Any particular NBA team you root for?

Historically?

(I needed to ask all time b4 you say fuck the NBA)

I rooted for the MJ Bulls. Kept rooting for them for a little while after he left, but really lost complete interest in the NBA after the rigged Kings/Lakers playoff series when I was in college. Not sure why I've started watching the last week or so. Usually I would turn on a random MLB game instead.

I don't know... Young team, first time out there, no time outs and got transition three pointer? Can't see how they could have been ready for a set up play in 2.8 seconds. Maybe not grabbing the ball to start the 5 seconds that fast? But than Denver also gets time to set up defence.
Starting a play behind your basket with no timeout and 2.8 seconds left usually results in a miss

First time out there? Nah, this isn’t their first time and that shouldn’t be an excuse even if it were true. They’ve ALL played ball their entire lives and have been in those situations. They also almost definitely have a “go to” play for that situation and probably would have made mention of that situation during one of the many timeouts/stoppages at the end.

Such a great debate.

You draft Melo and receive a future HOF...

How many rings do you win the next 5 years with that team?

You perhaps stunt Tayshaun here and the Rasheed trade likely never comes to fruition.

No doubt it’s a difficult task. But you have to have a play ready in that situation other than A. Pass in. B. Hail Mary.

Young team? Yes, young for the NBA. But not young enough for coaches not to have a play for precisely that situation.

I don't know... I obviously never been in such spots and I'm sure no one here been. You have 5 seconds to make a decision, they got 3 pointer in transition, so they weren't set at all. How you can set anything remotely close to a play, when you have no TO and players are all over the court is beyond me, but I guess we each have are own opinion...

 

[jimmymo]

Only question is how much I am losing on the Cleve/Boston/OKC ML parlay at -124

 

[Gameover]

^ a lot bc i just played it too lol

 

[KJ]

Greg Anthony sounds like he's calling this game from Jupiter

 

[B.A.R.]

Great defense by Cleveland that quarter.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Cavaliers meaning business

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Greg Anthony sounds like he's calling this game from Jupiter

How do you distinguish whether it sounds like he's calling a game from Jupiter or Neptune?

 

[VirginiaCavs]

These second round games have been quite uniform so far...all upsets. I wonder if Cavs strong start is an indication of what will happen in other G2s

 

[KJ]

I was born this way

 

[KJ]

Turner is definitely not that guy. If he doesn't get a shot created for him he's a turnover waiting to happen.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Pacers in danger zone

 

[B.A.R.]

Pacers in danger zone

Kenny loggins agrees.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Turner is definitely not that guy. If he doesn't get a shot created for him he's a turnover waiting to happen.

He‘s a bit like Danny Wolf

 

[KJ]

TBruv in the hizzy now

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Bailed out Don with that foul, he had no chance of scoring there

 

[KJ]

Turner airballing a 5 footer is exactly what this needed

Greg from the Space Station seemed to agree

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Goodness brutal misses from Turner

 

[VirginiaCavs]

But they gave Strus the charge against Turner to cost him his point total over in G1 ffs

 

[KJ]

Seen so many dumb ass challenges in this postseason but how do you not challenge that one

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Lets see if Pacers can get within 5

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Pacers needed that

 

[VirginiaCavs]

How do you foul Don on that

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Huge from Strus wow

 

[VirginiaCavs]

That likely sealed it

 

[KJ]

One of the most unclutch dudes hitting a clutch shot is why this is crazy

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Wow Nesmith

 

[VirginiaCavs]

I think Don just wanted an excuse to rest lol

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Why does this need to be reviewed? It's clearly a legal basket

 

[VirginiaCavs]

This is a conspiracy to give Mitchell rest

 

[VirginiaCavs]

No shit the basket was good

 

[KJ]

So we just waited 5 minutes seeing replays so they could actually announce a review?

WTF were they doing those other minutes?

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Well Don got to hit Nesmith back lol

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Wow three-point game

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Wow are you kidding me

 

[B.A.R.]

Greatest playoffs in a decade!!

 

[The Farm]

O my

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Omg

 

[KJ]

LOL THIS SHIT is alive all over the sports world

 

[big_units]

the pedro cerrano marbles pose

 

[Inspekdah]

Cavs deserve to get swept. Allen doesn’t box out? He sucks

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Another dog wins to compensate for yet another easy Over.
