2* GoldSt (gm2) +10.5 1.95: 2 to win 1.90
...Curry expected to miss. Think the adjustment is too big.

I do, John. I think their rotations will look pretty good. Payton and Looney should log more minutes.

Back when I was betting more, I would play this game as 2* on the spread and maybe 0.5* on the longshot Moneyline.

No worries, pal. Variance in sports-betting. Par for the course.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 05-09-25, 03:58 PM

1* DEN (gm3) +5.5 1.96: 1 to win .96
...My confidence is luke-warm at best. Just think this is the spot for DEN.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 05-09-25, 09:38 PM

Nuggets been having slow starts. They need to defend the paint. Not sure I like their zone. BOL Chucky.

2* GOLD ST +5.5 1.94: 2 to win 1.88
...Curry out again. He's good. But this isn't ideal-age Curry.
...GoldSt was run out last game. Makes them that much harder to back here. Should be good value.

The old DUE THEORY?

I can tell you this about the Due Theory. Go back in history and point out the teams in Must-Win situations. A lot of those players can be seen chipping-and-putting seven days later.

Sometimes but not always chuck

Will see, John. I was expecting better.

Maybe you can have a word with Kerr. Give him some coaching pointers.

2* NY KNICKS (gm4) +7 1.80: 2 to win 1.60
...Bought a half-pt. Feel better about the Knicks hanging the +7.
...Home-court should be value in MSG. Especially after such a subpar showing.
...One personnel note: Knicks need Mitchell Robinson to be better to win this series. Not sure that he's 100%.
...Looks like a value Home Dog. Should be a huge Knicks effort. They know this is the pivotal game.

...Knicks win SU. Big story will be Tatum's health going fwd.

1* OKC (gm5) -10 1.91: 1 to win .91
...OKC hasn't played their best yet. By far.
...Series has been close, 2-2. They're on alert. I expect a sharp performance.
...Feel like Denver's best chance to win another game = Game 6 back @Denver.

Easy to say now. Maybe the Celtics were the play!

1) I've made this comment about name-players sometimes being overrated. Tatum may apply.
2) Long way to go, but this has to be encouraging for the Kelts. Pressure back on the Knicks.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 2025-05-16T17:10:39+00:00

5* Boston (gm6) +2.5 1.93: 5 to win 4.65
...Injury displacement for Tatum is way too much. I should have been on the Celts last game.
...Consider the players who will be sucking up Tatum's minutes. Going back to last year, Celts had a good bench.
...Compared to other teams, the dropoff from Starter to Bench player isn't nearly as big for Boston.
...I know the season is on the line. That really isn't part of my handicap. I just think the # is absurd.

Jokic has been tremendous this season. He’s clearly the MVP but they’ll give it to SGA. Murray may not be healthy and that will be huge in this series. Kawhi came back and looks healthy. A healthy Kawhi is scary and Harden is playing very well. To see the Nuggets come out as favorites and now their dogs tells me that LAC is the play. BOL bro, it’s going to be a crazy playoffs. Might be the best NBA playoffs ever. A lot of parity in the league.

for me anyone you eliminates the other in this series deserves the MVP cause Shia has also been really good you might argue that jokic is better but still...

i genuinely NYC knicks would have still won even though TAtum never got injured
