Pacer series price is nuts at -176.

They've over adjusted for Lillard whose likely to play some.

The series price started dropping when the Lillard news broke, he's out for game 1 but expected back at some point in the series

After trading for Anthony Davis, Maverick GM Nico Harrison says defense wins championships.

Guess who is last in defense since the trade?

To be fair, AD got hurt his first game with Dallas, and they were without their other two bigs in Gafford and Lively, given their injury situation it's understandable their defensive struggles

Lillard is expecting to see some minutes for GM 2 or GM3.

I doubt it matters.

So much for MILW winning 3 out of 4 in reg season.

Bucks fizzle out, Giannis gets frustrated and wants out, he ends up taking his talents to South Beach, one can dream

If you watch Ben Simmons on YouTube in pickup games, he's got some serious offensive skills. In a game, scared to shoot.

This was Denver at their worst playing like they forgot how to hoop. Clippers had a 17-point lead in the first quarter nuggs defense was nowhere to be found. MPJ was a ghost out there. Jamal Murray struggled going 7 for 20. Nikola Jokić missed two free throws and got a technical foul handing the Clippers a free point. He also went 1 for 4 from three which is rare for him. Russell Westbrook was rough missing five layups and shooting 5 for 17. The Nuggets let the Clippers run wild early. Really an overall garbage showing. I'm really not sure if they could have played worse. Play like hot garbage still won.

I mean honestly if you're a clippers fan or even just bet on them you have to feel absolutely deflated. I mean what happens if just one of those guys has a good game. 2 out 3? If three all 3 of them are on? I don't see Joker missing four bunnies again either.

I think the series will be a long one, the Nuggets bench is as thin as the Denver air, it's tough when you only play 7 guys, but realistically only trust 6, as the series wears on I think their lack of a bench will become a factor, not easy to play every starter 40+ a night

Huh? Did you watch the game? The Nuggets came back from a 17-point deficit playing like hot garbage. Clippers don't even belong in the same arena. Like I stated early on I see this being a 4-1 series and would not be surprised at a sweep. Nuggets notoriously play better as a series goes on. Their net rating always goes up as a series goes on. They're winning percentage in close games is out of this world. Did you see how they tried to play them to avoid the Joker Murray two-man game? That's not going to work. 😂

I didn't watch the entire game, but the times I saw them defend Jokic/Murray was to double Jokic and leave Westbrook open, considering he's not a good shooter it seems like a pretty good strategy to me, if Westbrook can knock down open jumpers, then the Clippers tip their caps and move on

Yes playing like shit, every team that gets down 17 is playing like shit, if they weren't they wouldn't get down 17, the NBA is a game of runs, 17 means very little, especially on the road against a good team

Yeah as far as the seven man rotation goes in the playoffs. Zero issues with that. No back-to-backs two off days in between travel games. People forget that this team is still young. Every single one of them besides Westbrook is either peeking are ascending. FWIW they 100% have trust in PWat.

I wasn't talking about how they got down 17 That's pretty f****** obvious. Read what I wrote They Came back WHILE they were playing like s***. 😂🤣
Jamal was 2/9 in the first half somehow they're only down by four?

At the end of the game they were sending three guys out at Joker and Murray 38 ft out leaving a three on two for Westy Braun and Gordon. That's not going to work. They are going to eat that up.

And that's if Westbrook is even in the game. If MPJ's having a good game he will definitely be closing out games. If he disappears again then he won't.

Denver's Bench Has Sucked , Since The Year After Their Championship Season.

Case Closed.

Denver got all the 50/50 balls late, most critical offensive rebounds and 3 pointers. Let's see what happens going forward without all the above cluster luck, and still all out to win by 2 at home

I said it before, Lakers were more of a playoff team with AD. They have zero length to guard guys like McDaniel and Reid.

Luka took DAL to Finals because they had length and agility in the likes of Gabbard and Lively and team had interchangeable parts to guard these guys on the perimeter.

The only question is will Lakers get swept?
