    Biggest game of the season for okc too. They actually have a much better chance to get in than indiana does. But since they're not yet mathematically eliminated, indiana will probably give it everything yeah. Don't think motivation will be a problem for either team.

      Wizards-2.5 -208 (5dimes) (risking 3.24x to win 3x)

      Looks like I shoulda waited a bit for the line to move...

        Suns ml +1800 (5dimes) (risking 0.3x to win 5.4x)

        Sort of like the nets. Doubt I'll touch any of the other games.

          Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll, Paul Millsap (shoulder) and Al Horford will all be rested vs. the Wizards on Sunday.

            If the Wizards lose now they're going to enter LA Clipper-territory of always pissing me off.

            Thankfully didn't take the Nets.

              That game was Bucks or no play, NEVER Nets.

                  The Nets have been fairly solid lately. But every time they look like they're getting it going this kind of thing happens.

                  Honestly I'd like to see Indiana make it over Brooklyn but I might need them to lose that final game in Memphis which is obviously a greater priority.

                    Lucky you got -2.5. The wizards were giving me heart attack the last few minutes.

                      I wouldn't have taken it at -8 or 9. Just caught a break with Atlanta sitting their guys. I think Washington would've won anyway but I'm not gonna complain about getting an easier win.

                          The better team is just taking over the game. The Pelicans are a good squad with some nice pieces, but let's be real, they aren't in the same class as the 7 teams above them.

                          Still plenty of time though. This could easily get close again.

                                Pelicans gagged. I guess somebody told them the Thunder lost.

                                  The Suns are 1-10 from 3. Where is that magic they had late last year?

                                    They got a major blow, after trading Dragic and Thompson, and B. Knight only played 1 game (i think).

                                    J. Smith (Houston) thinks he is a MVP LOL

                                      Westbrook is suspended too apparently. Didn't see the T so idk if it's anything they would rescind. The Pelicans might clinch tomorrow. That would be disastrous for me, I need them to need to win that final game. Hopefully Portland rests everyone.

                                        I'm kidding. I know they're banged up. Thought they might have a random good performance and catch the Spurs sleepwalking but it wasn't to be. I can live with losing 30 bucks.

                                                That's awesome. Not many people are able to survive the full nba season and end up in the green (or whatever color it is). Are you going to take any futures for the playoffs?

                                                  I hate my season tbh. Way too many ups and downs and I didn't finish in the green counting futures, but I'm not even very happy with my record in this thread. I had a way better regular season last year.

                                                  Last year was my first ever losing playoffs though, I'm counting on doing way better this year so hopefully this season can end up being much better than last year.

                                                  Took the Bulls to win the East +775/+785 on a couple books recently. Have Mavs to win it all +5000 pending from the offseason, don't believe in it much anymore but I have decent odds so we'll see. I'm not giving up on it quite yet.

                                                    Explained my reasoning in Wizzle's thread. Really feel like this is a good play.

                                                        Looks like I got a decent line on Toronto. Felt like this could happen. The Nets' loss yesterday completely changes this game's outlook.

                                                          Last year was my first ever losing playoffs though, I'm counting on doing way better this year so hopefully this season can end up being much better than last year.

                                                          Took the Bulls to win the East +775/+785 on a couple books recently. Have Mavs to win it all +5000 pending from the offseason, don't believe in it much anymore but I have decent odds so we'll see. I'm not giving up on it quite yet.
                                                          I give your Mavs future almost no chance, especially if they get matched up with Spurs. But with those odds it's worth a shot. Those are good odds on the Bulls, I think they can give Cleveland a series. Chicago finally has some offensive firepower.

                                                          Lanscape in the West has changed a lot the past few weeks. Before it looked like 6 or 7 teams could possibly come out the West, now I think it's a 3 team race between GS, SA and Clippers. Portland, Memphis and Houston are just too banged up to compete in a 7 game series right now.

                                                            nice line on Toronto - good vibes going into the playoffs man.

                                                                I wouldn't bet it now but it's been there since July or August so I just have to live with it. At those odds I don't hate it either. Just need guys to play better (Chandler to play like the 1st half of the season, Dirk to play like he's 36 and not 56, Parsons to be healthy, Rondo to play like he did for Boston in the playoffs), and getting good matchups wouldn't hurt. Not like anyone gave this team a shot in 2011 either.

                                                                I'm not sure whether to hope Chicago gets #3 or #4. Since I have Toronto tonight I guess I'm rooting for Chicago to be #4. I definitely feel like if they can finally have a run of health they are the best team in the East.

                                                                Yeah it sucks. You can't write off those teams just because they're banged up though, but it certainly raises some doubts over whether they can make a run or not. Clippers are still losers in my book. I wouldn't guarantee they won't make it out of the West but I'd honestly be very surprised if they do.
