NBA Plays (Bubble Edition)...

[emkee]

These “bubble” games have been INSAAAANE

A bit like March Madness 'NBA Style'.

Staggered start times and unlikely heroes.

 

[emkee]

adding...

Raptors ML -150 (3 to win 2)

:cheers3:

 

[emkee]

Had to go ML.

Fav spread at -3 or less, go moneyline.

Double-revenge and Meat perimeter defense.

Raps built for bubble ball.

Another play up in a bit.

 

[emkee]

ML could and probably will shorten once the Butler mess is resolved.

Figure dude just forgot his daily test.

ML could and probably will shorten once the Butler mess is resolved.

Figure dude just forgot his daily test.

Could be, but doesn’t look likely that he forgot a test or that it’s COVID related. The team has said they are aware and that his absence is excused. It’s also doubtful it’s about him having to take off the jersey with no name on it, but that’s also a possibility.

 

[Noles4life]

from beat writers down here was an inconclusive test but he is available and will play today

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

Heat so fucking pesky man

 

[emkee]

Freddie VV is a killer.

 

[emg2525]

Never a doubt!

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

Freddie VV is my daddy

 

[emkee]

late add...

Clippers -8.5 (2 units)

:cheers3:

 

[emkee]

Flippers beat the Suns on average by 11.5 points in recent times.

 

[Inspekdah]

Suns been playing hard wonder what the motivation is for Flippers

 

[emkee]

Flippers will get going at some point in this game.

The odds of the Suns making the playoffs are incredibly tiny.

I do like what Monty is doing in Phoenix though, got the kids being accountable.

Flippers motivation is chemistry and consistency going forward and obviously securing that 2 or 3 seed.

Also fading sub-5 teams off big comeback wins has been golden (at least outside of the bubble).

Will pay to see if it works in this weird setting.

 

[emkee]

Hearing the Clips may have put Pat Bev on ice for the rest of this game.

 

[Inspekdah]

I’m on Clippers. But there’s no motivation here.

 

[Ryno14]

Missed this pregame. Any value on Clips 2H without Pat Bev or is that a sign they’re gonna take it easy?

 

[Inspekdah]

They can’t defend without Beverly.

Suns wide open 3s

 

[Inspekdah]

Suns will cover the 8.5

 

[Inspekdah]

Magic looking sharp AF

 

[emkee]

Bubble Ball, man.

Not gonna call the 8.5 dead just yet.

Fairly strong 2nd half spread for the Flippers.

 

[Ryno14]

I got the 2H -8.5

 

[emkee]

Suns will cool off with the shooting.

At the half shooting over 51% as a team and over 60% from 3.

 

[emkee]

Rebounding poor by LAC.

 

[emkee]

Bubio hitting 3's, ruh-roh.

 

[DeadEyeDuckie]

yeah when pretty ricky is hitting 3s it gets a lot harder. especially when today's game is win if you make 3s and lose if you miss 3s. whenever those non shooter pricks decide to have a good shooting night it throws the entire thing off. still got time though and hopefully the clippers show some pride

 

[emkee]

It's defensively where the Flippers need to step up. Too passive r/n.

 

[emkee]

Kawhi has been terrible tonight on defense.

 

[DeadEyeDuckie]

watching a lot of these bubble games reminds me of watching g-league games, just in a sense guys are just running up and down the floor even less focused than in a regular nba game. i think we're seeing somewhat of an effect of having no fans. it looks more like pickup games now more than ever.

 

[Inspekdah]

The teams who weren't supposed to be in the bubble are ballllling

 

[Inspekdah]

+30 from 3 on roughly same amount of attempts, ugh

 

[emkee]

Flippers were in the penalty the most part of that 3rd quarter and settled for jump shots.

Their transition play has been awful.

 

[emkee]

The teams who weren't supposed to be in the bubble are ballllling

No fans, no pressure. It's glorified pick-up games.

 

[Inspekdah]

Quite the opposite of what people thought would happen in the bubble.

 

[Inspekdah]

Lou Williams -15

 

[Ryno14]

Can’t hit 3’s, can’t rebound, can’t defend - not a good recipe for a W

 

[emkee]

Fouls, man.

 

[Inspekdah]

Zubac +11. Only 18 mins?

 

[emkee]

Magic looking sharp AF

Nothing sharp in the bubble otherwise it would pop.

 

[emkee]

Wouldn't mind OT.

 

[emkee]

Booker says nope.

 

[emkee]

Meat 1-4 SU without Jimmy when dogged this season.

 

[emkee]

adding (live)...

Celtics ML -118 (2.36 to win 2)

 

[emkee]

Damn can get +160 right now.

 

[Inspekdah]

Nothing sharp in the bubble otherwise it would pop.

guess not lol

 

[emkee]

I don't think any of the 'contending' teams have put together 2 good games back to back other than the Raptors.

 

[Ryno14]

Still a whole 2H for Celtics to turn it around here

 

[emkee]

Smart fouled out.

Refs having a foul mukbang.

 

[emkee]

Now 5 fouls on Tatum.

 

[emkee]

Tony Brothers...
