    I'm guessing fading the Suns in the 1st round will be a popular play?

    what do you think their 1st round price will be?

    I think they lost tonight semi on purpose...better control of who they play in the first round, i.e. not the Lakers.

    7 is the most likely spot for Lakers unless they going to lose all the way to 3rd.

    Yep. Conceivable, they lose the next three and Clippers win the next three.

    I don't see why this would be a popular play, Suns are on auto pilot... Last two games the Suns have been playing teams fighting for their playoff lives. I don't think Phoenix is throwing games, but they haven't matched the motivation/desperation of the teams with their backs against the wall (Lakers/Warriors).

    at this point, Suns might as well tank their last 3 games so they slip to the 3 seed and play Portland instead of the Lakers. that would also likely mean a Lakers-Clippers matchup.

    I think the Clippers win the west. But the Suns should win a round or 2.

    depends on match up.

    i think the warriors and lakers being low seeds this year create interesting betting lines.

    Tonight's Suns/ Blazers matchup is a big one.

    Blazers win and they're likely getting a dream matchup vs the Murray-less Nuggets. Pretty much shapes the West playoff picture with the Mavs & Lakers getting knocked down.

    Key thing is who finishes 4th. That mean you don't play the Lakers until the conference finals.

    i haven't bet anything friend and probably won't. for all i know this could end up being one of those popular underdog plays that go up in a blaze of glory.

    crazy how it works out where you rather be 4th than 1st or 2nd this year.

    you think the jazz or suns want to play the warriors or lakers in rd 1?

    Doesn't bother you that Paul is 36yo? Playoffs require endurance.

    Yes but I would think he has enough in the tank for the first round at least

    I was thinking the back end of a 7 game series. That's where fatigue comes in for older players.

    Blazers seem to be the worst of the top 7 in the West. Lotta great European centres in the NBA but Nurkic aint one of them. Weak link on the Blazers. Inefficient. Has his moments on the defensive end but generally not good in that regard either. Kanter can't defend either.

    so you would trust the Mavs more than the Blazers, for example?

    Yes, I like the Mavs. Doncic is a bad boy ;p ...I like the fact they made a sub of Richardson last game. He's got good competitive spirit but he's a bum. Hardaway much more talented.

    Thriller! Looked like a clear foul to me -can't put your arm on someone's hip when they're shooting. Mavs in pole position for that coveted 5 spot.

    they don't call stuff 5x worse than that throughout every game so don't call it to decide a game

    i hit big on blazers yesterday but just wanted to watch 4th q to see if blazers still fighting big time ... looks like they might have a nice last season game vs Nuggets at home who now pretty much have no shot to pass Clippers since Clips last 2 games are vs Hou and OKC... so Nuggets won't care about the last game.
