boston to win the east is still only at -165. none of these 3 teams is going to beat a healthy boston. i might wait to see if the knicks somehow steal game one and then bet boston to win the east.

im surprised to see the nuggets are +1100 to win the conference and Thunder are -240. I may place a wager on the nuggets to hedge my thunder title future.

+500 on the series is plenty. It's worth a couple bucks. But I think game #1, OKC has that locked up with 10 days rest as opposed the Denver's tough 7 games and one day off. Likely will put another couple bucks down at +550 or 600 on a game 1 loss. That being said, every teammate has to have a great series to beat OKC. Have to be better than good.

Thankful to have some nice futures on the Warriors (+3300 on February 4th), Timberwolves (+5500 on March 3rd), and Nuggets (+600 on March 8th) to win the West.

I'm going to keep throwing money on the Celtics to win the whole thing.

I also can see the Thunder losing this one tonight after not playing for so long. The Nuggets might've played their best game of the playoffs 2 days ago. They were firing on all cylinders. Maybe I'm an idiot, though.

The Knicks ML looks like a good bet. 89-86 in the 4th.

I put in a +10.5 bet early in the game, then boston ballooned it to a 20 pt lead. Fuck. Amazingly the Knicks came back and should win me that one.

I actually think OKC wins this one tonight, and even covers. Then Denver will cover game 2.

that was a nice one . when they were down early i saw it at around +800 but figured i didn't need to double down on something like that.
My Wolves bet has a positive cash out offer now too before their series even starts :lol:

but that Nuggets win was huge . Its going 6-7 for sure so let them beat the shit out of each other while the Wolves take care of business vs. GS

Until JDub shows up in the playoffs he will be nothing more than a regular season star/playoff bum. He was awful last year vs Dallas and he was awful last night.

TWolves should feast on the Warriors. That Wolves-Warriors Game 7 was really a matchup of 2 weak teams, playoff-speaking.

But u never know with Curry, never count him out.

all 4 games have been won by road teams so far, that's kinda crazy.

but yea the Wolves are brutal. i take slight solace in that i don't think GS really played that well, it's just Wolves couldn't hit the side of a barn. I know Curry was out but they still only scored 99, Wolves defense was still good . they'll recover .

awful finish by OKC Monday night. This is the second year in a row that JDub has disappeared in the second round. Was horrible vs Dallas last year as well. 5-20 vs Denver in game 1.

Chet had a horrendous final 5 minutes to finish the game with a missed dunk, badly missed 3 and then bricking 2 FT's in the final 20 seconds.


Then the coach screwed up with a terrible foul strategyu in final 15 seconds.

This fouling to prevent 3pt attempts has to stop. It's a loser's attitude.

agreed, play some f-ing defense.

It's one thing if you have fouls to give and you are trying to kill clock, but what OKC was doing was just pure idiocy. Coach owned up to it afterwards and took the blame as he should.

this feels like mid to late 90s Bulls playoff basketball. Both teams in the high 80s/low-ass 90s.

MGM has a 1st half odds boost for Wolves-GS, either over or under 97.5 is +100

that is just insane to me . i get Curry is out, and 187 total was scored last game. But my god if you can't even get to 98 in a half for a 2nd straight game .

If Boston maintains a 25 pt lead going into the 4th, will Thibs pull his starters. They don't have it today and look fatigued.

Edwards is mildly disappointing. He looks tentative and weak tonight, which are two things I never thought I’d see from him.

I really thought he'd be NEXT. This after I thought Doncic would be NEXT. I'm not very good at NEXT.
