Stretch Run April Discussion...

[B.A.R.]

Time to lock those seeds in and start avoiding potential matchups!

Out West, don't look for the Rockets to receive favorable treatment these last two weeks. The stakes for the league are too high to have their Lakers or Warriors not make the play-in round.

More thoughts from yours truly tonight.

[survive&advance]

Mavs suddenly a threat to win a series or two now?

They're the illegitimate #2 seed out West, only team that could take down every other playoff contender in the bracket...

 

[B.A.R.]

Mavs suddenly a threat to win a series or two now?

Eh, I dunno.

 

[emkee]

Embiid back soon, don't sleep on the Sixers.

Only threats are the C's and Mucks, Mazulla and Doc.

Advantage, Nick Nurse.

A Jokic v Embiid Finals would be pretty cool...

 

[KJ]

Eh, I dunno.

Bunch of teams with a bazillion holes and it's not just the West

Feels like Denver is it by process of elimination

 

[twinkie13]

Big boys playing ball now.

 

[emkee]

Embiid back tonight.

Sixers the 8th seed but would be the 3rd seed had Jo not gone down.

If you're gonna put a future in, today is the last day of value.

Getting a 3rd seed at an 8 seed price...

 

[B.A.R.]

Oh, JOJO is back?

I don't expect he makes it through the playoffs though.

With that being said, totally understand the value aspect.

Dude had 3-4 weeks of extra recovery time based on the injury for the playoffs, was a 6 week injury. Bro had 9 weeks recovery.

Sixers with a coach this season, only dudes in their way are Mazulla and Doc.

I expect the Meat to go out vs the Mucks in the 1st round thus cancelling Coach Spo...

Why would you expect the Bucks to suddenly exorcise their Heat demons?

This Bucks team is less of a threat than last season.

 

[B.A.R.]

I don't hate the future bet if he can play EVERY postseason game.

That's a big if.

I'm debating it very small.

They will and then die in the 2nd Round...

He was given extra time and extra conditioning precisely for the postseason.

I'm the most confident I've been in the Sixers playoff chances since the Jimmy season, more confident actually.

Already slapped the futures last week.

East Champ and Finals Champ.

Nothing crazy but enough to afford the ability to go underground for a decent amount of time when the Men in Black start looking for me.

Nuggets v Sixers exact matchup future is intriguing as well...

 

[emkee]

Anything over +1000 vs Mazulla and Doc is epic value, tbh...

 

[B.A.R.]

Nice comeback by the Sixers.

OKC was making winning plays but Oubre was determined.

Jojo with the huge steal late.

 

[B.A.R.]

Watching Kings and Knicks.

Shaping up as a good one.

Foxy came to play so far.

 

[twinkie13]

Just flipped on myself. No bets yet.

 

[B.A.R.]

Brunson and Fox with a great matchup so far.

Fun 1h at MSG.

 

[B.A.R.]

Maxey having a half in Miami.

 

[number2]

How u like Over 103 2H Philly game?

 

[emkee]

Sixers on that run.

Probably won't lose a game heading into the playoffs and potentially get themselves out of the play-in.

Final 5 opponents of the season...

at Grizz, at Spurs, v Pistons, v Magic, v Nets...

 

[B.A.R.]

13 game slate today while ncaam are off.

Should be some opportunities

Night off for NCAA tonight.

 

[B.A.R.]

I had a wild day betting yesterday. Ended up really good but part of that was the Sixers Spurs thriller.

 

[twinkie13]

I was running around and couldn’t even look at anything

Saw scores, checking boxes late AM

CJ and Zion great yesterday

Felt like the 8th Pels Suns game this year.

That’s a professional game ladies and gentlemen

 

[emkee]

Nike just dropped the Wembanyama logo (and a little subliminal messaging), can't beat these dudes at marketing.

Pretty dope, ngl...

Well done by Nike

 

[B.A.R.]

Suns down 58--22

Is this Game 7???

You can have him back

Would take in a heartbeat

Info on playing time isn't great for eliminated/bad teams.

Always like the C's backups at home to try and want the win. Guys like Pritchard and Kornet are always effective...

 

[Inspekdah]

Hopefully Hawks bench their starters down 14 at half in a meaningless game for my Pacers bet.

I’m also on C’s but even up 10 at half I’m not exactly loving it.

Should have just played them both 1h!

 

[KJ]

East Coast input is much appreciated today

 

[Inspekdah]

Criminal ending in Boston. Pushed. Up 21 under 6. Then 12 with 30 seconds left. C’s take a violation. Then the Wiz players want to dribble it out but the coach is jumping for them to run stuff. Sketchy as fuck. Why is he in game 82 jumping and screaming for them to drive the ball with 10 seconds left?

This is a terrible day to handicap. Liverpool and Arsenal both lose at home and my 74 year old mom is out chasing birds.

It's something we can't control
