NBA Playoffs (Bubble Edition)...

[emkee]

That's it folks.

Gasol wants to leave the bubble.

 

[Inspekdah]

Spots dead in bubble. Better teams will just be better in a gym.

 

[emkee]

It was a case of shots falling for the Raps and they're not for the most part.

C's have better shot creators but Toronto is playing with tight assholes.

A 6 point or less deficit at the half would have been great, a 10 point deficit reduces the Raps chances dramatically especially mentally.

 

[emkee]

The FT shooting tells where the Raps heads are.

 

[emkee]

Craps 1-8 SU when trailing by 10 or more at the half this season.

0-2 SU vs the C's.

 

[Inspekdah]

Clawed back in. Did it with zone so maybe didn’t zap all the energy.

 

[Inspekdah]

Well. They had their shot. Up 4 before collapsing.

 

[Inspekdah]

Awful call there to let the block stand

 

[Botanical]

Vanfleet wants to go home

 

[Inspekdah]

Stevens going Phil Jackson and it’s worked every time. The runs halt quickly for Toronto.

 

[Inspekdah]

Stevens just took the throne

 

[Inspekdah]

Truly inspiring coaching, and not coaching at times

 

[Inspekdah]

Never in doubt. Nice hit

 

[emkee]

I'll take it. That pass by Lowry was incredibly crispy.

And that's why I advocate always taking the ML on faves of 3 or less and the points on dogs of 2 or less.

That shit happens a lot in this league.

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

Easy as pie

 

[Big daddy naught]

Wonder if this ignites Toronto or Boston just says we played like shit and should still be up 3-0 and makes light work

 

[emkee]

Definitely a shot of mojo for the Raps. Should get them one more win.

 

[emkee]

Playoff Bubble: 18-10 (+20.55)

Overall: 101-77-1 (+49.80)

adding...

Bucks -5 (2 units)

Have backed myself into a corner with this series.

Should have played the Meat in Game 1 based on the numbers but I didn't and backed the Mucks.

Chased a good spot for the Mucks in Game 2 and lost.

Am now forced to chase the Mucks in Game 3 in an even better spot. Had the Mucks won Game 2, I'd be playing the Meat.

Great spot but have zero faith in Budenholzer so keeping it a standard 'to win 2 units'.

:cheers3:

 

[Botanical]

Money line it...they could pull a rabbit out the hat like the craptors

 

[emkee]

Milwaukee should win big. Don't think the points matter here.

Lay or play dog ML. Mucks by 10+ or they lose straight-up.

Heat are very flawed, Bucks just aren't capitalizing because they're coached by an idiot.

Giannis the least talented MVP of all time doesn’t help.

 

[aplous]

MUCKS lets go

 

[Ryno14]

Got a bad number at -5.5. Hopefully it doesn’t matter

 

[emkee]

Could the Mucks get swept, sure can. Gambling on these dudes producing their best effort tonight.

They looked defeated after Game 2, so things could go very wrong.

Loyal to the spot though but quite concerned. The coaching mismatch is insanely large.

Janice needs to really step up and lead this team, like our guy Lowry last night.

Question is do they end up playing so tight that they lose themselves... they haven't showed too much heart so far, but I agree... this is a must play.

 

[emkee]

Bud a coach that will live or die by his philosophies.

He refuses to adjust, so I'm not expecting him to adjust tonight.

They really needed to keep Brogdon.

 

[emkee]

Scott Foster in the house.

 

[wizardofodd]

whats Foster mean?

 

[Inspekdah]

 

[Inspekdah]

whats Foster mean?

series extender

 

[emkee]

Frustrating.

 

[emkee]

Budenholzer, smh.

 

[Inspekdah]

It’s Janice man. He can’t run his offense with that goofball fumbling the ball and jacking 3s. They went on fire when he sat. More Dante needed

 

[Inspekdah]

He’s taken 6 3s. What a joke

 

[emkee]

Blowing a 12 point lead going into the 4th in a must-win game is special for a 1-seed.

 

[emkee]

Yep, that was really special by the Mucks.

 

[Inspekdah]

Heat toyed with them. A DD better team.

 

[Cgreen54]

Tin Man more heart than these losers

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

I have a feeling the Bucks can’t beat this team LOLLLLL

 

[emkee]

late add...

Rockets +7 (2 units)

:cheers3:

 

[OCD$]

any thoughts on the rockets pick my friend

 

[OCD$]

match up?

 

[OCD$]

:shake:

 

[emkee]

Match-ups. Old boys been resting too long.

Dogs of 7 or less off a Game 7 are 5-1 ATS last 6.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Ended game on a 35-9 run. 35-9. Against a team that was supposed to be desperate.

Vaginal, defined.

 

[Inspekdah]

Heat are built for bubble because they can 3D. Bucks can’t. Simple. Their elite defense is nowhere to be seen. Their offense is cringe.

 

[emkee]

Outscored 41-13 in the 4th quarter of a must-win game is probably the biggest choke I've seen.

Meat are no juggernaut either. Mucks a pussy team that got punched in the mouth and wilted.

 

[emkee]

Knew the risks with the Mucks play just didn't expect that.

I played this series as bad and as stubborn as Mike Budz.

 

[emkee]

Coach Mikey Budz on why he didn't play his All-Stars more in the Game 3 loss...

Grade-A idiot...

bring out the brooms. You don’t recover from a 4th w like that
