Huge game this week: 4/10 MINN @Denver.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
1* MINN Twolves to win the WESTERN Conf (9.42). 1 to win 8.42.
...Huge game in Denver. The Division pretty much tilts on that game:
*If Minn wins that game, their win% goes way up. I'd rate them as at least 25% if they lock up the 1-seed.
*And I still think they can win the West w/o the 1-seed. I don't view Denver as hungry after last season.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

Yes Chuck wolves a sharp play
mavs have no center or inside presence
u want a deep sleeper in the west dubs or lakers
i kinda doubt it tho since they r 9 and 10Comment -
Looked at games today found a few value's.
memphis/+18.5=6.5 pov(points of value)
toronto/+11.5=3.5
san antonio/+17/=10
clippers/+9.5/=5.5
my take the good teams are not really playing for anything, why risk injury.Comment -

Twolves have no pedigree. Good luckComment -
If suns somehow lose tonight it could open door for lakers 8 seedComment -
Thx to Veri and Johnny. Appreciate the discussion, men.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
1) Twolves go down. Not gonna lie. Now looks like a daunting task, as the West goes thru Denver.
...How does someone solve Jokic?
...Still like my chances. In a strange way, this eliminates DALL potentially playing MINN in the Western Semi-Finals.
2) Dallas now likely to be the 5-seed. I'm convinced they can beat the Clips.
...What sort of team will the Clips field? Will any guys still be banged up?
Sunk cost. Think both have potential.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
You could be right, Laker. But people could have said the same thing about DENVER going into last year.
I actually think that kept Denver's odds DOWN. When they were clearly the best team in the West.
That loss last nite has to put a damper on MINN. How does Gobert defend Jokic? If Jokic pulls him out of the paint, you lose a great rim-protector.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Laker, I think this playoffs is great for divergent opinions. I think it's very tough. My thoughts:
1) I don't think Denver will be as focused as last year. Maybe they prove me wrong.
2) Clippers have a lot of big names. I think them securing HCA over Dallas is significant.
3) I chimed in with the two teams I like: Min/Dall. But I've been wrong 100x in the L30 days.
...IMHO, OKC/NewOrl are at least a year away.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
*Bucks get two big wins. Look to be the 2-seed. They looked better in L2 games.
*Knicks have won some games. Have now flipped ORL.
*PHI currently a 7-seed. Considering the games Embiid missed, Sixers are going to be so much lower than expected.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
I like the play-in. But the Bulls/Hawks are going to be some of the scrubbiest playoff teams in memory.
That said, I think they're live. Could see them being live dogs in the play-in games.
Take note about how much lighter the Eastern bubble was compared to the Western bubble.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Not saying that I'm playing this. But BOSTOn 1.53 to win the East might be value.
Who is going to beat them in 7 games? Knicks could challenge them, but hard to see winning 4 of 7.
BOS bench has been very good. So, they're not in danger of tilting on one injury.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
2* BOSTON: to Win the Eastern Conf (1.54). 2 to win 1.08.
...This is going to look square. Backing the Favorite. Will get > +50% return if they win.
...Feel like the balance was tilted to the West. A team like PHX would probably be the 2-seed if they played in the East.
...The gap from Boston to anyone else in the East is massive. Built a big lead and coasted the L6 weeks.
...Deep roster. Their bench played great. Team is not subject to injury risk of any one guy going down.
...I like PHI lining up with the Knicks. Given the Giannis injury, I can't fathom anyone challenging Boston other than the Phi/NYK winner.
...And if the Eastern Finals = Bos vs Phi/NYK, Boston would be > 80% to win a 7-game series.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
yeah just had a conversation about Boston winning the East. I had pretty much the same arguments you had. Great price and they've been dominating.
-180 looks enticing, or what you had 2 to win 1.08
But they have as indicated a weakness at center. Porzingis is not going to stop Giannis or Embiid. He doesn't have the strength.
When they shoot the 3 they're unbeatable. But when they aren't anybody can beat them. Tatum has in the past disappeared at crucial moments in the playoffs, and Brown has a way of continually shooting the ball when he's shooting bricks.
I'm not saying it won't happen, thought about it myself, but pass.Comment -
MIA - Butler ruled out. Another reason to like BOSTON.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Could be. I'd counter that Edwards is now on commercials. One of the top 5 faces in the league.
The one that someone needs to investigate is the 0-2 Homer. I'm convinced that the refs are instructed to "Gift-wrap the 1st Half to the Homer. Let the 2nd half play out honestly."
...Think about how much $$ the NBA loses for each game that's not played. 5-game MIN in most series.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

This my friend! All about the $$$Comment -
Also, on THIS ROUND:
*The NBA is doing much much better by Phi/NYK and Mil/Ind going to 6+ games.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment
