Hey guys -- as you know, T Wizzle is my babe and brother, and I love him dearly. Best poster on the board by a large margin, with very few even coming close. Goat Milk and BigdaddyHQ are the only ones who come to mind immediately.
Wizzle found a boo-boo in my original tally. I accidentally had a -1.6 units for Sunday, but it was really +1.6.
As you know, this changes everything. My reality has been shattered. Just to make sure I'm 100% transparent and honest here, I'd like for someone to go back through and make sure I tallied everything correctly.
Here are T Wizzle's (my brother's) plays for the 2018 NBA Playoffs, with total W/L and +/- units for each day, and of course, a grand total at the bottom:
First Round Futures
Celtics to win Series 4-0 +1200 (0.5x)
Celtics to win Series 4-1 +500 (0.5x)
Thunder Series Price +270 (1x)
Total: 0-3, -2.00
Second Round Futures
(Here is where the refs totally SCREWED my babe T Wizz… we all know the Raptors were free money in this series, but books just couldn’t take the loss. Wizzle nailed this matchup from top to bottom.)
Raptors -210 series price is free money. Don’t even worry about the juice. I rarely say that but it’s worth laying here. I just can’t see this Cavs team getting it done.
Raptors Series Price -200 (6x) Raptors Series Price +115 (2x)
This Cavs team is dead. They’re totally spent. LeBron himself said he’s burnt. He’s going to do everything he can but he just doesn’t have enough around him. Kevin Love doesn’t look 100% to me. When he’s playing his best, he’s still more than just a spacer on offense. You can throw it to him in the post on a mismatch and he’ll score pretty much every time. He’s not doing that now. James not only had to score 45, he had to come up with every big defensive play down the stretch. I like the Pacers but they aren’t that good. They’re solid but nothing special and they still took Cleveland the distance. This Toronto team is much deeper and more complete. They defend 1-5, space the floor better than they ever have, and have a legitimate inside presence on both their starting unit and bench unit.
It’s finally Toronto’s time and there’s nothing this version of LeBron’s Cavs can do about it. Frankly it will probably be a relief for him to just end this shit once and for all.

(Note: At this point, my babe and brother Wizzle confidently posted that he was 8-2 +6.86 units thus far in the playoffs. If you count the two Heat +6.5 bets as individual picks, like real handicappers do (including Billy Walters), then that is correct. If you count them as just one pick (like the trolls and haters are prone to do), he was 7-2 +6.86 units.)
