Ruling out the Thunder is crazy. It's like a 95% chance them or Boston will win the title. Giving Denver a 5% chance out of respect for Jokic.

Can I have the rest of the field at 100-1?

95% chance is 20-1, which I assume you know.

Hes including Denver which made it 100%.

And the answer is no. You can make fun of me for being wrong if I am, which is enough of a reward.

Luka with 10 points through 6 min and looking to shoot every time he touches the ball.

You forgot to add in Denver at 5%. Which makes it infinity to 1. I assume you know this.

Indeed, which is why none of your math made sense…..

WTF??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Yes, please disregard the team that's 10 games up on anyone else despite missing their best big for 80% of the season.

Boston is the overwhelming favorite in the East. OKC is just the favorite in the West. And I know it's just one regular season game, but the Wolves put a clinic on them in the 4th erasing a 25 point lead.

I love them, I want them to win the thing, but they might not be quite ready.

Overwhelming favorite? They are currently 6 games behind Cleveland. If anything, I would say OKC is more of a favorite than Boston.

Boston -125 to win the East. OKC +100 in the West. So I guess they are also overwhelming in the West.

Do you really know it was just one regular season game cause it sure doesn't seem like it? Where was Chet in that game???


And what happened in the game the night before between OKC and MIN when Chet did play?


Just cause you lost money doesn't mean you need to come here the next day and post like a clown.

It does appear losing money gets the best of me... OKC, a bunch of cocksuckers who gagged, is the overwhelming favorite in the West.

you are right in that they might not be quite ready, but that's just due to inexperience. They will still be the overwhelming favorite to come out of the West.

Edit: will also be interesting to see how OKC handles the last 2 months of the season when they are so far ahead they have nothing to play for except waiting for the playoffs to start. Easy to lose a lot of momentum in that scenario.

No team gets a trophy for winning the regular season. They'll now have won back-to-back regular seasons. Good for them. I still think they need another guy for May and June. Step up Jalen Williams.

+100 on OKC isn't great value. You could grab 3 other teams and split up the bet and feel pretty good about it. Den +600 LAL +750 Minn +2000. Not a GS believer, like not at all.

Or OKC could walk through it like the odds say.

Yet it was an atrocity on the part of Dallas to trade for AD. Who (win healthy) is a better player than either of those 2.

It's not an atrocity if Davis can play. It's a bad trade though simply because of the age.

I see no improvement in the Lakers to date. Luka is both a momentum killer and a momentum extender. He's a great player, a HOFer, but the intangible of basketball instinct is sometimes not there. Being with LeBron and Redick should help him in that area and if it does help, the trade will turn into an atrocity.

Boston demonstrated last season why expecting to win with Luka as your best player is problematic to say the least. And if you pay him that sort of money then forget it.

Interesting that supposedly Dallas contacted Minnesota about Ant Man and the TWolves turned them down

Supposedly doing a lot of work there.

All the post trade commentary was that Pelinka convinced Nico to keep it quiet. After he gets criticism for not running it out in the open, there’s a “oh yeah, I totally called Minnesota” report.

How gullible do you have to be to believe this happened and everybody stayed quiet about it on both sides until well after the trade? Nico himself said the opposite and got roasted by the entire basketball universe.

How gullible do you have to be in order to believe that Minnesota was offered Luka, turned it down and still believe that people are lying when the story was released?
