Who is actually motivated to have shot to play Denver or Milwaukee

A lot of good thoughts thank you

**Nate rasta** · 04-12-23, 06:03 PM

There's still professionals most still want to play hard and win. They might have bonuses in their contract if they make the playoffs. Try to recognize who has checked out and ready for the off season. Anthony Edwards looks like he's checked out after D'Angelo Russell got traded

Lol it was meant to get discussion around the two games last night but since SBR is a graveyard it didn’t.

**gauchojake** · 04-13-23, 05:15 PM

Who has more motivation the clippers or whoever gets the 8 in either the west or east??

**IBetYou** · 04-13-23, 05:33 PM

Have to wonder about the HEAT being motivated to play the Bucks...

These games tonight and Friday how do you find the edge? Other sports like hockey, players truly believe they just got to get into the playoffs and then there’s a chance. But in the nba most of the players don’t give a shit. They look at denver or the bucks and know they have zero chance. So with that basis what teams actually want to win just to be a placeholder 8th seed first round loss in the history books?
Want to hear your thoughts…

I do not know.

Come on. Both teams want to win tonight. If anything, Bulls should be even less motivated to lose to their division rival, yet again. Giannis owns the Bulls.

PHX > Denver

Porter Jr will be a brick laying machine

**Git Lo** · 04-15-23, 06:48 PM

**Nate rasta** · 04-16-23, 05:45 PM

The Heat are!!!

That's irrelevant to what I posted.

So you will bet Twolves. Books arent so generic in their line setting that they go ok Denver is going to lose we will make the line lower than other 1 seed matchups and just announce to the world that Denver is going to lose. It doesnt work like that

**BuckyOne** · 04-16-23, 09:18 PM

Dogs are barking today. Blood in the water / they can play /we will see the next game if people like Bucks and Grizzlies meet the intensity their opponent is bringing?

don't really know what you're getting at but
wolves really lost a lot when Reid was hurt. edwards isn't playoff ready. but the line tells me the books don't think the nuggets are playing their best ball lately which is my thoughts on them.

They wont need to they still wont lose the first round. Thats the point of it. The books know they cant win this, so they have two options, juice the line to the moon or play mind games with people and price it weird. They chose to price it weird because their data said that will draw more money on Twolves than the other way.
My point is the way the line is set isnt as low level thinking as you think

End of day Minnesota will win one or 2
They can't win the series. They screw around with peoples heads.

Wolves look out of sorts tonight. Gobert soft. Maybe it's because he's French. Wolves -16 with him on the floor

Wearing a knee brace maybe he's just cautious.

He's not soft. He & Towns just don't know how to play together. Kyle Anderson is soft... his reputation has gone way down this season. Getting into a bitch fight with Braun last night because Braun didn't allow him to shoot on a dead ball. SOmething every day with him.

Last night they certainly didn't play together. -28 with Gobert in the game, worst on the team by far, next guy Conley at -18.

Anderson didn't look good. prince 0-4 no rebounds in 21 minutes.

They stunk it up. Wildly inconsistent team.

uh oh... is Denver in trouble?

if Porter could contribute more Den would be up 3-1 after a 50+ pt Jokic game
