OT - NBA

[jacobkdoyle]

Predictions?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Raptors win the East, then get swept by GS.

Vegas set the Warriors losses in the playoffs at 5.5 and it got bet up to 6. No way I'd take the over there.

Wow. I'm taking the Pacers to upset the Raptors.

Taking the Under at 48 points in the first quarter was the easiest decision all year...LOL

The Raptors can only choke so many times, right? Or maybe they're just the Bengals of the NBA.

You can't win when your two best players are volume scorers that don't make threes. The Pacers are awful on offense, but are good enough defensively (3rd in PPP allowed) to slow them down.

I got blinded by how much I want Cleveland to lose.

Pacers take game 1 by 10. George took the game over in the second half.

James harden is my least favorite player in the league. He scores 30 every game but probably gives up 50. Embarrassing defense. I would not want him on my team

Poor Dirk. Mavs down 40 in game one. Can we just skip to the west second round? Golden State vs the Clippers and Spurs vs. Thunder are going to be great series. Also just put Cleveland in the Finals and spare us from these awful match ups on the eastern side.

The West 1st round is such a waste of time. In the East though, I'm excited for Miami vs Charlotte.

Snooze fest. Doesn't mean some of the games won't be entertaining though, just that the outcomes of who's going to win really will never been in doubt.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Still holding out hope for the Raptors.

And I can't tell if the Thunder are kidding or not? Maybe Carlisle vs Donovan is more important than I thought. The Mavericks have been imposing this style on teams for a while now.

OKC lost like Cincy tonight. Hand, ball, buzzer, loss.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Raptors have really responded well. Maybe Game 1 was just a fluke.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Raptors finish the choke job today?

I think so, I picked Pacers in 6 but they had their own choke job in game 5. Think Paul George will be too much tonight.

The Raptors did it!

Escaped is a better word. Almost blew a 16 point fourth quarter lead running the Mick Cronin stand at half court until there are 6 seconds on the shot clock offense.

Ha I had Toronto -6. Ugh. On the bright side, Zach Lowe said he is leaning Raptors in 7 over Miami. The dream is still alive!

I had Pacers +6 didn't have the heart to take them on the ML but still worked out.
