Kevin Durant lost to Giannis

[goduke]

Lebron lost to the warriors in what, 2015, when irving and love got hurt. Did he choke?

That was the nba finals. And lebron took a horrible Cavs team to the finals with garbage players early in his career. Durant lost in the second round of the playoffs not to the best team in the nba.

[jjgold]

Giannis had way better players

Miracle nets stayed with them

[Hman]

Duran tried to do too much.

17-36 from the field.

By the way ...

He lost to the guy he more or less called trash in an interview and sarcastically said never compare him to in Giannis

bucks will be favored over any other remaining team

Well if refs wanted brooklyn to win, rest assured, they would have. It was a matter of one call at the end of the game, and brooklyn wins. So that's why I always disagreed with these rigged theories. Brooklyn is the big market team, everyone wants to watch Durant, they don't want to watch Giannis and the Bucks, so why didn't SIlver place the call in to the refs?

Because there's no such thing anymore as rigging basketball games. Sure it might've happened in the past with one ref, but it doesn't exist anymore.

game doesn't have to be "rigged" for it to be slightly biased... no sport at any level is totally immune from shadiness

Last possession of ot was a microcosm of the whole game. Harden gave Durant the ball like 35 feet from the basket and said go ahead after he played 53 straight minutes. The airball was the perfect ending. Harden was also off the court before anyone else. What a clown

Amazing or ironic that a guy that played and showed up out of shaped in Houston could not get a healthy clearance in the playoffs for the Nets and was slowed by a hamstring. A wasted year for Harden, KD, and Kyrie. Now they are all a year older and proven to be winded in the playoffs because of such a disdain for the regular season teachings of learning how to be a team with toughness and desire versus a rag tag bunch of mercenaries gunning for a title.

Middleton won the series not Giannis. Injuries are excuses, man up and take the results. In an organization as large as the NBA if you don't think corruption is prevalent to some degree then you are living in a bubble

[homie1975]

they will NOT be favored over the sixers on the series price (assuming sixers win today and embid is not ruled out of any game(s) in the conference finals).

sixers have home court in the east and suns have it in the west

suns have home court through the finals due to best record of all the teams remaining.

second best record remaining is the sixers

Are you drunk again? Mil will be-135 minimum. Have you not been paying attention?

Btw did the number one seed in the west lose? Thank you.

[jjgold]

Like I said bucks heavy chalk to win title

They are tough and big

[homie1975]

barring injury or covid protocol (ie some bullshit), SUNS favored in West and SIXERS will be favored in the EAST.

after the SIXERS win tonight, they will open as favorite over the Bucks in the ECF unless unless unless a key guy like Embid is ruled out.

HOME COURT ADVANTAGE THE DECIDING FACTOR in the series price.

SIXERS have a final game to play before they advance to the ECF so that is built into those odds you just posted.

we will see what happens after tonight's SIXERs win and if Embid is deemed "healthy".

SIXERS OVER BUCKS in ECF in 7 games

Yes, I once believed that, too. But with video cameras recording every inch of each player, or every coach, for 180 minutes out of 180 minutes, I know longer believe they can pull something off without being caught red-handed?

I remember last year's football season, college and pro, while thinking, how can you be behind by 28 at the half and roar back in the second half to win the game, sometimes rather handily? I think it happened many times last football season.
Did they cheat? I simply do not see how they could pull that off?

Too many people in the stands, millions of TV viewers, and those same video cameras humming along while recording every inch of the stadium.
This isn't the Pete Rose era.

yeah it's built in, but the bucks aren't going from -225 to + anything

bucks -180 vs 76ers
bucks -350 vs hawks

and yet the super bowl can have a power outage

also a mysterious power outage at badgers/unlv football game

plenty of stuff can happen, whether there are cameras or not... why do you think mlb has to now check for illegal substances by pitchers? cameras don't catch everything or care... how did the astros cheat for years, when there are all the cameras and fans!! lolol

[stevenash]

I get that too. I'm a big Aaron Rodgers fan and I'm surprised he even played last year. I would've told them to penetrate off after trading up to draft a QB with their first pick. He's the most talented QB ever and should have 3 rings atleast if they put a defense and more then 1 big name WR around him.

I have been paying attention to the Rodgers v. Packers organization 'pissing contest' (or call it "the hold your breath until the other side turns blue grudge standoff', or you can call it "the who ever blinks first wins first debacle') call it what you want but believe me when I say there is plenty of blame to go around on that topic.

Ever since the Packers drafted Love and Rodgers started telling the mass media and the general population just exactly how he felt about that a coupe of years ago I really started to pay attention.

When I first started playing ball as an 8 year old playing against other snot nosed 8 year old kids hitting a ball off a tee all the way up until I was 20 or 21 when I stopped playing organized team sports for those dozen plus years between the ages of 8 and 20 we were led to believe that the very gifted ball player will always have no fair chance against the unfair almost evil team owner or team ownership group.

The history books are littered with all sorts of different cases.
Jackie Robinson the famous black athlete with talent on loan from God against the unfair MLB front offices.
Curt Flood who many say started the whole free agency movement (and Catfish Hunter to a lesser degree)

I would like to think I know a thing or two about a thing or two, I'm a geek nerd that actually enjoys reading up on past history and I enjoy doing research, like I said I am a nerd but when I was a kid and teenager we were lead to believe all team owners are bad because that's the way past history presents them to be.

Only later after I turned 21 have I begun to realize that all owners and ownership are not bad and all individual mega superstars are not 100 percent super holy and pure either.

The Packers are not 100 percent wrong here and Rodgers isn't 100 percent right either.

After collecting all the data from both sides of this issue I still side with Aaron some but his argument from where I sit is not completely valid.

Oh sure I still think the gifted athlete has a disadvantage in a 'million dollar player vs. billion dollar business' standoff but like I say there is always two sides of an argument.

Actually there are three sides to this argument, player, team management, and the truth.

i don't

he's acting like a spoiled little bitch... the thought these players are repressed while making the kind of money they make now is ridiculous

show up for work, shut up, and play ball... not a hard concept

[lonegambler23]

Lebron lost to the warriors in what, 2015, when irving and love got hurt. Did he choke?

need me some klove on a good squad again, hes gettin straight direspected

[shadymcgrady]

Middleton was the best player for Milwaukee this series, his stepbacks, turnarounds and decision making in big games were more clutch than giannis or harden ever were in their careers. His defense on Durant was better than tucker as well. Tucker reminded me of those over the hill try hards in league play or even pickup that think they are better than they rly are simply bc they are going all out. He wasn't doing sht to slowdown durant at all that series
