it was just a setup for the "big 4th q" to win but no chance of covering original spread... 2h was a gift

Well I didn't mean it in that manner. Just that the market always seems to know.

He said he was happy there recently. They've always had a great fan base. I'm with you I think he misses CA. He's no good in the playoffs in any case... if they lose tonight it will just save disappointment a week from now.

A week into the playoffs is only one game per team . They get 4 days off between games.

asiagambler · 04-09-19, 09:38 PM

Suns down 30 at halftime and threatening to cover. Could be very bad beat if you're on Dallas.

Is Denver trying tonight?

JIBBBY · 04-10-19, 11:22 AM

I'm trying Memphis today at home.. Warriors gonna only play the bench.. Grizz will try to end the season at home on a winning note I believe..

Denver is beat up.. Played a ton games in this past week and many players are banged up..

Can't touch this game even though they need the win.. T-Pups have been playing well down the stretch too... I think it's gonna be a tough game for Denver.. They'll probably win but they might not cover..

These teams have reason to play for.

Detroit, win and they are in.

Blazers can secure the 3 seed with a win today. Would move Rockets to a 4 seed.

Nuggets can clinch a 2 seed with a win today.

Not sure who owns tie breakers, but games are important for Clippers, Spurs and OKC.

shadymcgrady · 04-10-19, 11:53 AM

Spurs don't want to face the warriors in the first round

Nuggets want the 2 seed

The lines reflect that, no room for any angles

The only thing that matters is getting to the playoffs. Seeding and homecouurt is overrated because it's not a one game series. At the end of the day to be NBA champions you will have to win games on the road.

I think 1st and 2nd have value, they are played to keep.
It's not the same as getting a bye but it's a lot easier going against weakest opp.

thats right it's already all reflected in the lines
this is the big time now with legal sportsbetting.

Of course seeding matters. Nobody wants to play GS.

It's only one extra game at home if the series goes to 7 games. The top teams in the East and the West know they have to have to win some road games to be champions.

If you're coming out of the West you have to go through Golden State. When you play them doesn't matter if you're not good enough to beat them.

If you can avoid them til the conference finals maybe someone else beats them in the first or second round.

Looks like Blazers want to lose on purpose to avoid OKC in the first round. Lillard and McCollum are resting. They look content with the 4 seed and playing Utah in the first round.

I believe you

TheMoneyShot · 04-10-19, 05:47 PM

Doesn't seem like anyone is trying. The last 10 games... just cancel the damn season. Just plain dumb. You can't wager on this junk.

asiagambler · 04-10-19, 08:07 PM

Warriors allowed 86 points to the Grizzlies........ in the 1st half
