[EL CAPO]

Nuggets -7
Sixers u 204.5
Cavs u 205


Hate lot of my series picks....think nuggets taking these guys out swiftly. Gap appears to be widening. Lakers others can't get going against these guys and they are the key. Was correct in my thinking Lakers would come out motivated should of played a first quarter play ....wolves handed business ....liking them in the series now as those wing defenders they have are elite....phx should still take it to 6 tho.

Magic offense is so bad. Series could end faster then thought. Spot for them is at home they are a proud home team and have some grit.

Sixers look dead but Knicks aren't gonna run away with the series but conference title wise they are dead. Contained brunson so well and still lose ....maxey is not a true number 2...embidd is hurt ...the remaining talent is so overrated. No idea how this team got so much hype and teams ducking them.

Bucks we may be getting the doc tax to give us major value... the market overreaction on doc team to play. Just clearly the most talented team on that side of bracket. I question the siakem trade. Pacers had a great fit with Bruce brown and flow for their style. Siakem is a slow pace offense guy. That said teams facing major injured stars on other side lacked intensity.

Agree the Magic probably have a old school game in them. Playoff spot game 3.

They just don't have a go to guy for playoffs. Banchero very good but he's not 'that' guy yet.

Indiana is so green here. And, lack of experience overall. Bucks win this series no doubt. Be interesting how they manage the Giannis injury if rolling along.

Oh yes don't like the magic roster....they have been nails at home and responded there all year.....but maybe they fall flat like cavs last year vs the Knicks and it's a sweep

Used to really follow the spurs playoff games .....recall so many series that would be absolute blowouts first 2 games followed by 2 blowouts the other way returning home.

couple thoughts - watching mcconnell play and then watching luka play is like man........this guy mcconnell exemplifies how to play basketball and luka is such a pussy complaining iso player who loafs - i think luka had 30 and he played pretty horrible to me. But thats cause the mavs supporting cast sucks. .......they need some other scorers.

pacers such an enjoyable team to watch - they play like they are a 12 seed mid major in the ncaa tourney - the energy is contagious. .........i've been loving the bucks but now i can totally see the pacers winning this series and making the conference finals

suns are complete soft and wolves are tough and grit. amazing this series was a tossup and people bit onto the suns hype.

with that said suns -4 - .......kind of thinking this is like suns nuggets last year , suns owned game 3 and then lost in 5........i think that plays out similarly

pelicans 7.5 - something telling me pelicans can compete in this series and maybe even win. matchups big time down low valuncionus can eat. pelicans have tall defenders who can bother sga. ............imo this team still pretty good without zion - darn good - we just saw a tossup game. why will that change ?
pacers -4
mavs -3.5

looks like i like all home teams in game 3 76ers, magic, pacers mavs suns.......only one i'm not on is lakers. ......nuggets had about 15 rim outs and everyone on lakers played well minus reaves.

 

[EL CAPO]

unders are like 11-3 in playoffs so far.........with officiating being changed drastically; not sure numbers have adjusted yet

the magic cavs series may be an army navy series that we look back and see it all went under.

magic chance to win can only be by them intensifying their defense even more

Didn’t cavs magic go over tonight?

 

[EL CAPO]

Didn’t cavs magic go over tonight?

been going under by like 20 points a game

 

[skanless13]

Lol. You’re right. Sorry. Was thinking of the Bucks game

 

[EL CAPO]

Adding
Lakers wolves u 214.5 ......Lakers I think know they need to win a slower pace game and not get in a track meet

Pelicans +1 vs thunder .....smackdown spot for pelicans.

 

[EL CAPO]

Obviously heavy on Minnesota futures ...hit the under there yesterday too.

Other series taking Mavs ..... I don't think dort can get under Lukas center of gravity the way he could Ingram. ...Luka is due for major positive regression scoring. Dallas can put physical the skin and bones chet with beef.

Game 1 Mavs okc u 216.....mavs current style is muck it up ...they win with defense. An assortment of long long defenders and rebounders. .....lean Mavs but not interested in backing kid in game 1 he does poorly

Magic cavs u 196
Wolves nuggets u 207.5 game 2 .....malone was brimming about his poor defense in game 1.
