Things setting up nicely for the lakers

[IBetYou]

Mavs can lose here and still get that 5th seed. Just need the Lakers to take care of the Pels.

[Goat Milk]

Well they r not a good defense team

but donk can go on a tear

Mavs roster. Doncic Hardaway Porzingis Finney-Smith Jaylen Brunson Klieba

Probably the worst rotation in the playoffs in both the eastern and western conference

[thomorino]

Yeah the Clippers are smart they rested rested starters to get Dallas and avoid Portland.

I bet Phoenix to get swept in the first round at +220 and +160, I see them playing the Lakers in the first round.

Phx to get swept and you only got +220?? Huh?? Makes no sense.

[thomorino]

No the bet is Phoenix to lose on the first round of the playoffs not get swept.

[gauchojake]

KOD

The bet is Phoenix to lose in the first round of the playoffs, that’s it, it doesn’t matter if it’s a sweep.

Oh, I see. Pretty good odds if they end up playing LA.

Portland won’t lose tonight and they have the tiebreaker against the Lakers. Lakers should be fable to roll a Warrior team with no center and Oubre likely still out.

There's only 3 good teams in the west. Clippers, Lakers, and Portland. Never bet against Dame Lillard in a must win game.

Utah is good too, I agree those are the top 3. The Powell addition was the best move anyone made at the deadline, Portland’s bench is still weak though.

Melo Kanter are the best 2 guys coming off the bench in the NBA today. I'll take Carmelo Anthony over Jordan Clarkson in an nba playoff series any day of the week. He's hungry to get a ring, he's gonna play real well. Kanter can get 10 and 10 in 10 minutes. He's a monster bench center.

Yeah utah is good too, forgot about them.

Lillard is not gonna be denied this year I feel. He's the 2nd best player in the west after Lebron imo. Straight deadly. Closest mentality in the league now to Kobe.

Mavs are a dark horse. Pay attention. I got them+4500 to win the West ages ago. Bro you need to stop watching games. It affects your ability to cap. Look at lines and try to decipher.

What exactly has lillard won? He just lost to the suns in a must win game two days ago. Guy is most overrated player in the NBA.

[IBetYou]

Hmm Lakers aren't winning this game.

[lakerboy]

Hmm Lakers aren't winning this game. Clippers need to try and win now LOL.

Nice try guy. Clippers were never losing this game. Okc has been tanking for months. They would have left the arena instead of trying to win.

That wasn’t a must win game, that game was irrelevant to Portland, as long as they win tonight they are in the playoffs, they have the tiebreaker against the Lakers.

If they won that game would they need to win tonight?

Kanter can’t play defense, Anthony is solid, but Portlands bench is still a weakness.

[thomorino]

You said that game was a must win game, if you can win 1 of the next 2 games the first game isn’t a must win game. Portland was also on the second night of a back to back, on the road, and they still had Phoenix best before the refs bailed the Suns out.

Oh the good old refs again. Portland lost barely because lillard doesn't get it done like usual. If he was so great he would have willed them to a win and had the night off tonight. That's why he isn't as great as some people think. Why not win when you can instead of being in a position where you have no choice?

I see Lillard as a top 10 but not too 5 player, but he dominated the 4th quarter against Phoenix, you obviously didn’t see the game.

You are correct I didn't see the game. I saw the score. He lost like he usually does vs a good team.

Eh?! Down 6 with 9mins to go. Got the Thunder right where they want 'em???

[IBetYou]

They lost to the Rockets just last game FFS. Those same Rockets that just got waxed by a depleted team in Atlanta. Ty Lue doesn't want to face James in teh 2nd round. He wants conference finals because his job might depend on it.

[IBetYou]

Probably drawing up losing plays.

[JIBBBY]

Lakers need to gel in a hurry.. Especially on defense. Lebron still has a bitchy sore ankle as well. I don't think they are primed to win it this year. AD will make it interesting though.

Well they did a little when it became obv lakers were 7

i really think lakers nets matchup coming up

East vs west

stars vs stars

[JIBBBY]

^^I'm a Laker fan and I'll be watching. Hard to just turn on that switch instantly come playoff time when you've been on IR list and out for months. Lebron and AD..

[lakerboy]

Good call.

[IBetYou]

Got Yogi Ferrell guarding Pokusevski

...and down they go. 117-112

[IBetYou]

So if Lakers hold on, Mavs get a 2nd crack at the Clippers. Blazers get the Murray-less Nuggets.

No Barton either, Portland should win this series in 6 or less.
