OK. What is the urban dictionary definition for "socketed"?

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-19-25, 07:03 PM

Juan, GL on the Lakers. Will see how they do.

My one obscure angle on this series: *The Eiffel Tower really didn't like Luka talking junk to him last year. Rudy would love to get some payback.

This game reminds me of the first Bulls game when Coby White and Mathew Mazhulis scored 50 points apiece, and the Australian kid with hair like my College GF had a triple double.

Lakers just can't defend a real NBA offense. They are one, but they can't defend one.

True, you did. But MINN looks pretty good. They're getting so many open 3's.

I really havent watched enough of this lakers team post luka trade but they have no real center, lebron is 40 and the criticisms of luka are still valid. That being said they were a 2 seed late in the season but playoffs are a whole different game. They have a bunch of role players surrounding bron-reaves-luka but its just meh.

Good news for Johnny. Magic and Kareem will be suiting up for Game Two.

It's just one game. But MINN looked so comfortable.

Balanced team. They don't need Edwards to go crazy to win.

The coach quickly, smartly realized he needed to limit Gobert’s minutes. He’s almost unplayable in this series.

timbs are too tall and rebound too well. might even get swept . Fire coach, then hire j kidd

Detroit basketball. I may parlay them with Clippers ML. Definitely taking the points.

Ironic, I just hit the Pistons +6.5 ten minutes before reading this post.
NYK (IMO) aren't all that.

Got lucky and had to work for the past 4.5 hours. So after placing my Pistons +7 bet I got back to gambling at halftime, and bet Knicks ML at +125.

I won't shed a tear if the Pistons win the game (I also have +450 series) but it's a good looking middle!

Anybody watching this thievery in New York? Refs are calling EVERYTHING on Detroit. Bickerstaff needs to punch one of these refs.

Honest to God, I thought I was the only one who thought Detroit was getting jobbed all game.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 04-21-25, 09:29 PM

Whew, they barely survived that one. Need the Clippers to come through.

How many cash envelopes handed over to the refs for Gm2 in the MINN-Laker series? NBA brass can't risk the Lakers getting swept out.

I think the refs called the game like the NBA wants. Remember NBA makes more money in 6-7 game series. They hate sweeps and will tell the refs to make sure the series are extended. I always have this in mind when I bet. They would not let a team win back to back if they have a say.

Got to keep that in mind…
