Forget the Lakers and Clippers, we need to pay attention to...

no

 

I lost $1000 cuz I bet them when Kawhi was first ruled out and the odds were still a 1.81x payout

Crushing loss to say the least. Did not think Portland would drop this one given their playoff chase.

Luckily I was working so didn’t see the game but still....tough loss on my part.

 

Am I missing something here? Did they even make the playoffs yet ?

 

Let's hope we face them in the second round then.

 

Blazers have consistently been the most disappointing team all season long. I don’t know how anyone can think they will somehow be any different.

8th place Grizzlies have lost every single game in the bubble and face Raptors, Celtics, and Bucks to close out the season. Yet, my gut tells me Grizzlies will somehow win a game or two to put a dagger in the Blazers season.

 

The only team I'm really concerned with are the 3 zebras.

 

Barkley is never right. I'm glad he liked Portland and not us.

 

I would trade Westbrook for Dame all day anyday!

 

Because his skills are good fit next to Harden. But not because he is the better player.

Russ intangibles and pace setting are so underrated.

 

That sucks!

 

shane

 

It does. But when you bet as much as I do you have to expect it to happen. It is really hard to accept that it’s not personal bad luck when stuff like Dame missing two free throws happens, on top of losing a must win against a short handed team, haha; but I’ve won enough on dumb luck as well.

 

I'm not worried about Portland since we likely won't play them. I'm worried about OKC.

 

Lillard would be perfect next to Harden, but we have enough, and Russ has been averaging over 10 trips to the line in the bubble. He is changing the formula. It's nice that Russ does something we desperately need more than any other team in the league - which is to radically accelerate the pace when Harden is not at his iso best.

It is the first time I can say we have a legitimate plan B that forces the opponent defense to stretch itself. How many teams can deal with elite iso and elite transition offense? I say Clippers and Bucks only.

 

I say no team can do it for 7 games.
