If you are the Wizards, you absolutely want to fall back into the 7th spot, no question.

and the nets too lol

The blazing speed of OKC at Suns is very impressive.

 

[tuck321]

Memphis bettors came close.

 

[tuck321]

Did not study much today. Some of these games seem--very strange.

Houston game was completely insane. Pounding at half, down by 12 with 4 minutes left, rally, escape.

 

[tuck321]

Apparently Goran is a shooting guard tonight. Works for me. Go Suns

 

[tuck321]

Odd game. Suns up 9 and have taken 5 free throws. OKC 13 of 17

 

[tuck321]

Up by 3 spotting them 17 points on free throws.

 

[tuck321]

OKC was actually very unlucky. Having to play the Suns on the road on Sunday when they are playing on 1 days rest is really very unlucky. I am assuming the Suns can hang on to a 9 point lead with 22 seconds left.
Of course betting on Memphis was probably more fun.

Suns won the bench battle 46 to 29. Now the Spurs can really let go. Hello Spurs, just some Suns come to visit.

 

[tuck321]

i really have to say, this is pretty good for a team I bet over 22 wins.

I'm not sure what Spurs have done. They either eliminated one of the harder rivals from the playoffs or made sure they will be meeting them in first round already.
With all the respect to Dallas and Phoenix, I'm sure Spurs would prefer to meet them than the Grizzlies...

 

[nbafan88]

I don't think the spurs give two shits who they play. All they want to do is make sure they're playing their game perfectly. That is all.

 

[divol]

Yeah... and why should Pop care if Parker got injured...
As long as he won and covered another regular season game...

Not sure if you believe that the Spurs would prefer to meet Dallas or Suns why you bet on Memphis.

 

[tuck321]

By the way I doubt Spurs care. Memphis 3-7 last 10 ATS as a road dog--who cares. If I had been the Spurs I would have tried to play them.

Because I expected Pop to try to lose to them and make Thunder play them in the first round. If Spurs have lost, Memphis had really great chance to finish 7th. Now, they probably finish 8th and Dallas/ Suns 7th (I believe it will be Dallas) and while Thunder go easily 4 - 1 in the first round, Spurs will just say thank you if they make it out of Round 1, against Memphis.

But nevermind, what's done is done.

I do hope Memphis makes it in, I don't care if it's at Dallas or Phoenix expense, because I really believe they are the better team out of the three and I would like to see good playoff series.
