Who you got? I'm guessing most will be on the bucks.

I think the value is with Toronto, its a big advantage they don't have to play game 1 until Wednesday while Portland has to play on Tuesday - very little travel to Milwaukee too. Toronto has the size and length to cover Giannis and Giannis's weakness is he's not a great closer because of his shooting, Toronto should have the advantage in close games with Leonard.Comment -
Game 1 bucks are-6.5. I think if Tor gets a split up there they will be in good shapeComment -
Should we be looking at Raps, Laker?Comment -
Agree but Milwaukee lost game 1 last series, usually when a team loses game 1 at home in a series they remember that the next series and are sharper, I think Toronto's best chance will be game 2Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
I think so. I think they have the length that will bother the bucks.Originally posted by JayLAComment -
Does the NBA want Canada represented in the Finals? No need to even cap. Yes or No?Comment -
Toronto. doesn’t have the offense of firepower to win this series
Too much LeonardComment -
Don't start with this bullshit. Did they want Tor in the east finals? Too many conspiracy theories with you pal. The better team will winOriginally posted by TheMoneyShotComment -
Bucks in 6... never would I put money on a team with Kyle Lowry... ever. Bledsoe is going to own himComment -
lol I'm just saying.... years and years and years the NBA never wanted Toronto to move on. If it wasn't for that lucky bounce.... Toronto would of probably lost in OT. Proof is in the pudding.Originally posted by lakerboy
So like I said.... does the NBA want to welcome Canada or not???Comment -
I think James might have had something to do with that. DeRozan is goneOriginally posted by TheMoneyShotComment -
Lol there is no conspiracy. Toronto was owned by LeBron and they had one of the biggest playoff chokers. Wouldn’t NBA prefer Toronto instead of Milwaukee anyways? Toronto is the much bigger market, but best team will win.Comment -
No, the NBA wants Giannis to be the face of the league with Lebron getting old, Giannis is getting all the calls right now, the NBA doesn't value the Toronto market and Kawhi you can't market Kawhi with his personalityOriginally posted by KRITComment -
Not much difference between a guy who doesn't talk much vs a guy who can't speak English. On top of that it's Milwaukee. Your favorite poster is from there.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -
Personally.... Toronto is the better "coached" team. Now, whether the players respond is a different story....
I think Milwaukee has the better athleticism.... but not that much experience.Comment -
No you're missing the point, Giannis has been marketed aggressively, he's probably winning the MVP, and he speaks english fine. Lebron is 34 and not likely to get to the finals anytime soon, the NBA sees Giannis as the future of face of the league, he's on the highlight film a lot, Kawhi is much more of a jump shooter.Originally posted by lakerboy
The NBA is about players much more than markets, why teams like OKC always got the calls. The NBA wants Lebron in the finals no matter what market he is in, same with Giannis.Comment -
Bucks clearly more defensive. Have been for the short time I've watched NBA....Originally posted by TheMoneyShotComment -
Giannis does have that aura about him....tough series, in this inexperienced NBA bettor's eyes.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -
The books have far more exposure on Milwaukee than Toronto - no one who knows basketball thinks Milwaukee should be -280, Boston and Detroit were a joke, this is their first real series.Originally posted by JayLAComment -
They never wanted Toronto. If Bucks need help, they would create one.Originally posted by TheMoneyShotComment -
50/50 series value with raptors
bucks are a deeper team, both have a star and are both very defensive minded
toronto has the veterans and it will come down to role players hitting open shotsComment -
Agreed. Books fully expect the bucks to win. They would be pretty happy if Tor winsOriginally posted by thomorinoComment -
I expect Toronto to win. I think they have all the right pieces to slow down Giannis. Look at what they did to Philly. They locked them down the last few possessions and philly couldn’t get a shot off. They made Joel not want to play down low ever. I think they are going to take every player out of their game and giannis will get his 30 but it won’t matter. Toronto has very playoff hardened players(leonard, gasol, green, lowry, Ibaka) The bucks have one with that level of playoff experience I think(George hill when he was with the spurs). This is an absolute Toronto series bet for meComment -
Simmons is the most similar player to Giannis and he struggled. Toronto is built to stop him especially when they go bigComment -
bucks babyComment -
Hill played a lot of playoff games as a Pacer not a Spur really. They do have Gasol though.Originally posted by godukeComment -
Pau doesn’t play though. And yes hill played more with the pacers but I thought he played in the finals with the spurs maybe I’m wrong. Either way my point was Toronto just has very battle tested players, this should help in this series alotOriginally posted by rm18Comment -
No he got traded for Kawai. I didnt realize Gasol was out for the year that news broke recently.Originally posted by godukeComment -

boston got beat down 4 in a row so now people just say they are a joke when plenty figured they had the best shot to win the East all year no matter how they looked in regular season gamesOriginally posted by thomorino
i know a ton about how the nba works and bucks are winning the series thus the price, won't be easy for people to make a few "bucks" off the bucks unless they just keep on covering spreadsComment -
Parlay Bucks and Dubs for their series at -160. I think Denver would have been a tougher matchup for Warriors & Bucks depth will be key as they win in 6 games.Comment -

True and probably the reason Kawhi won't stay in TorontoComment -
exactly, now people want to backtrack on boston people always get amnesia this time of year. few days ago I said bucks could win this whole thing Ill stick to that if Im wrong Im wrong, overall longball efficiency may doom them in the end with dubs though I sure was wrong with saying uva had no chance before the tourney and was wrong saying the same thing about nova when they won the first of two a few years ago. but I do think they should get past toronto could be wrong game 1 will help some in evaluating that one or at least taking a look at some matchups.Originally posted by ThaTopMoronboston got beat down 4 in a row so now people just say they are a joke when plenty figured they had the best shot to win the East all year no matter how they looked in regular season games
