NBA Playoffs (Bubble Edition)...

[Smokeshow99]

No value on the Nuggets. 8 points isn’t 8 points when it crosses over PK, too. Not like it went from -4.5 to -12.5.

If you watched all 3 games the Nuggets had a solid 1h Game 1 and an awesome last 7 minutes in Game 1 with OT. Other than that they have been 50 points worse. 8 might not be enough.

Liking the jazz.
I’m having a hard time finding a reason to back the nuggets. They can’t play defense. They have limited scorers. They can only win if they hit 50%+ from three.

 

[emkee]

That was a terrible play by the Flippers.

 

[emkee]

I'll take some OT.

 

[Inspekdah]

Luka right behind MJ top 2 all time

 

[Inspekdah]

Best player I’ve seen in 25 years

 

[emkee]

Pandemic P strikes again.

 

[emkee]

Flips got what they deserved putting Reggie on him when they had two All Team Defense dudes on the floor.

 

[Ryno14]

Gotta think Kawhi is having second thoughts about choosing PG as his sidekick

Gotta think Kawhi is having second thoughts about choosing PG as his sidekick

The team would be much better with Shane G and the rest of the assets they gave up.

 

[Inspekdah]

Window for Clippers with an older PG is limited. Luka will take the reigns and not let it go for 10 years.

 

[Inspekdah]

Leonard only on a 2 year deal. He can find his way back to Toronto, in a year, I’m sure.

 

[emkee]

Labored start for the Canadians...

 

[emkee]

Lowry just rolled his ankle.

[Inspekdah]

Nets call a TO and Raps just quit on defense

 

[emkee]

Looking forward to this Raps v C's series. Very nice.

 

[DeadEyeDuckie]

Dancing with anything for Jazz/Nugs?

 

[emkee]

Got duped with the Flippers, they should have covered easily. Would bet it the same way every time. Was just an unfortunate turn of events.

Raps don't mess around. All good.

2nd Round the money round either way, maybe it's different in the bubble but I'll do my best.

Playoff Bubble: 9-7 (+8.55)

Overall: 92-74-1 (+37.80)

 

[Ryno14]

Late night Nugz?

 

[emkee]

Dancing with anything for Jazz/Nugs?

This game should be a good spot for them but I do not like what I've seen from the Nuggets, they look like they've checked out somewhat.

Gonna sit on it live and see if they've still got a pulse.

So yeah, lean Nuggets with zero confidence.

 

[emkee]

Raps drop 150 points in a regulation game.

 

[emkee]

How does the C's bench hang with the Canadian Pine ?

Hopefully Lowry has the same 'injury' Luka had.

 

[twinkie13]

Can’t lie. I wish Kawhi stayed a dinosaur

that team is fun, hard and awesome.

money aside I like watching them and Dallas best

And Dame

Which way you leaning in Baby Dinos vs Leprechauns?

 

[emkee]

Which way you leaning in Baby Dinos vs Leprechauns?

Lean Raps. Better, deeper team. No Hordon Gayward for the C's and their bench is shallow.

 

[emkee]

adding...

Bucks -13.5 (2 units)

:cheers3:

 

[emkee]

Spot calls for it.

Magic have put up a good fight for the most part but they’ll be getting worn down.

Should be a pretty convincing blowout.

Mucks need to wrap this shit up.

 

[Ryno14]

Dogs getting some steam today - specifically Thunder and Pacers.

 

[Hulu]

Bucks too now. Dropped a full point in the pst 10 mins. Of course right after I laid the 13.5

Yep. I saw it trending down and still took the 13.5. Smh. Hopefully doesn’t matter either way

 

[Knamelis]

Don’t recall exactly, but Bucks were 12-13 in previous games in series, right? ..can’t help but think either algo/numbers guys eating the 14 or books just playing games...I’m always hesitant when the line opened higher only to be bet back to same number in previous games...just a non-documented observation in my experience...is there a way to back test that, computer guys? Haha

 

[Ryno14]

Down to 12.5

 

[Inspekdah]

Bizarre

 

[Ryno14]

Back to 13 and 13.5

 

[Ryno14]

Rockets ML today?

 

[emkee]

My bad fellas.

Misread this Bucks game today. Credit to the Tragic.

Coach Bud must give the worst halftime speeches.

 

[Inspekdah]

Rockets in a perfect spot I feel like but the Dort #s are concerning for Harden. He’s literally awful when Dort guards him.

 

[emkee]

Dort no Kawhi.

Movement stinks but you generally have to fade lower seeds off OT wins on principle.

 

[Ryno14]

Mucks with a 15-2 run to start the 4th. Leggoo

 

[emkee]

Would be a Rockets ML play if there is one.

 

[emkee]

Mucks with a 15-2 run to start the 4th. Leggoo

Hopefully not a tease.

 

[emkee]

Tragic raining 3's. Mucks defense asleep.

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

Magic fouling down 14 with :20 LOLOLOLOL

 

[emkee]

Never in doubt.

 

[emkee]

late add...

Rockets ML -140 (2.8 to win 2)

:cheers3:

 

[emkee]

Probably regret the Rox play but it had to be done.

Underdogs off OT wins in the playoffs are 18-47 SU the next game.

 

[Ryno14]

Congrats @emkee on Brett Brown being gone

Congrats @emkee on Brett Brown being gone

That's great news.

Hopefully they drop Elton Brand as well.

 

[emkee]

Tony Brothers hates Jimmy.

 

[Ryno14]

Tony Brothers hates Jimmy.

I’m still feeling good about Rockets pulling this off
