NBA Season - now 24/25

I can’t go past the Bucks either but the Celts cause them real issues.
Suns could be anything, I’m writing the Nuggets off just cos
Can’t see the Lakers going 4 rounds

@voodoo If Karl Anthony Towns's calf injury is not bad enough to stop him from playing today, the Lakers might be lucky to even get past my Timberwolves.

You can get $4.30 on that at the TAB mate, good luck to you!

ESPN's NBA experts, all 17 of them, picked the Heat to beat the Hawks in the play-in game today. And guess who won?
Good news if you are a T-Wolves fan then!
@Bovidae And it almost was too but somehow my guys managed to blow a ten point lead in the last to lose it by six in overtime, still the $1.90 for the eight point start went someway toward softening the blow. The Timberwolves have another shot at the eighth spot in the Western Conference taking on the winner of New Orleans v Oklahoma City for that last qualifying position.

Heat blew it at home. They were always under the pump at down by 20PTS during game.

@Higgins LAL made tremendously hard work of that by the look's of things, people were predicting a cakewalk with Gobert out. Ant shot horribly and they still nearly won it. Lakers just can't put teams away.

The T’Wolves offence in the final 5 minutes plus the OT period was just appalling. KAT was either injured or just choked. Antman was shooting jumpers. They should not have lost their lead let alone the game.
I’m surprised all the ‘experts’ went all in on the Heat. It seemed a lazy “they’ve got playoff experience” pick and failed to realise that the Hawks length and rebounding was always going to trouble them. Hawks aren’t a great side by any stretch but giving them countless second chance opportunities will bite.
Tomorrow I have Bulls in an upset (of sorts) and Pelicans just getting the W against OKC, even though I’ll be cheering for SGA and Giddey.
-
I messaged a mate who loves a punt this morning saying Atlanta at $2.90 seems nuts! He responded with some nonsense about Butler being too good and length and some other shit, so I pussied out and didn’t bet.
Damn.
I also like the Bulls tmrw, and it appears a genuine bookies upset @ACT-Crusader , they’re paying $2.80.
I don’t even mind a double with OKC @ $8.58
-
What a comeback by the Bulls. Down 19 points and came back to win.
These play in games are fun.

Loved the Bulls defensive pressure in that 4th when they went with that small lineup of Vuch, DeRozan, LaVine, Caruso, Beverley.
LaVine was cooking too.
-
Woohoo, OKC get the win. Very happy about that with SGA and Giddey both coming up big.
A what could’ve been season for the Pelicans. With Zion in the lineup they were a top 2-3 side in the West. Without they are a middle of the pack.
T’Wolves v OKC matchup is intriguing. KAT has a slight injury and their defensive stopper McDaniels is unlikely. SGA or Giddey are a tough cover for Mike Conley.
-
upset day!
-
oh and Torrey Craig with 22 points in a play off game

Westbrook coming up clutch in the playoffs - what a world.
And his ex-team had a convincing win

No Adams and potentially no Ja, the Grizzlies are cooked.

the Warriors dynasty is dead
Even if they now go home and get it back to 2-2, they aren't progressing far.
It's time. With a couple of shrewd moves they may get one more run at it with Curry. But if they keep all of the current pieces they'll go nowhere.
To win four rings in the LeBron era is an incredible return. But all good things come to an end.

Lakers win game 3 comfortably on the back of a big defensive effort and aggressive offense in the first half. Dylan Brooks falls into the Quade Cooper trap, draws the ire of the crowd right from the start, gets ejected when he plays whack a mole with LBJ's groin in the 3rd. Bonus for LA is LBJ had a light load, sitting for much of the the 3rd and 4th quarters
