Bad officiating can decide games though.

Fortunately, the Dubs did enough to withstand it.

And I should clarify that I don't believe there's an agenda by the NBA to make sure the Grizzlies win the series.

With that said, I still think they wanted the Grizzlies to take Sunday night's game.

But it's okay, maybe that's just me. I love my tin foil hat, I might put it on tonight

Wow, Smart is OUT.

Payton Prichard legacy game?

And, as mentioned to TJ, the Grizzlies never should've had the ball in the final few seconds to begin with. But the refs missed that call, how surprising?!

Except the most obvious one at the end of the game.

Celtics - without Marcus Smart

Bucks - without Khris Middleton

I'm liking the Bucks chances.

ninjacookies · 05-03-2022, 06:06 PM

Vegas knows things.

Smart was deplorable offensively in game 1.

I'm not saying Celts will win. I'm just saying I wouldn't place money against them.

KD stans close your eyes for this one:

RAPTOR, like all impact metrics, should be taken with a huge helping of salt in small sample sizes. But it's still fun to look at.

Top five players so far, minimum 150 minutes:

Chris Paul, +13.7
Luka Doncic, +13.1

you really don't have to be so sensitive. I keep buying Trae despite him being right there at #3 worst. Difference is I'm more impartial than y'all who can't admit when ya boy is terri-bad.

I don't bet often, but whenever Vegas defies conventional logic, I stay the hell away.

Boston looking like a different team to start this one.

Ok .. I'm soooo sensitive. I'm not sitting here worried about your boy. Could really careless.. Just stick to your little video game.. Nobody cares about Joke-er

Ferg1945 · 05-03-2022, 06:20 PM

might be time to sit the starters.

tjforce · 05-03-2022, 06:21 PM

What am I watching here?

This is like two totally different teams compared to game 1.

Nba needs some series to go the distance.. No game 7s in round 1. Should go back to best of 5 round 1 imo

It's a trap.

Oddsmakers go deep. Personal lives, infidelity, this morning's breakfast...all that. I'm not a fan of betting against the house, either.

Teams seem to rally around a key player getting injured (see Bucks with Middleton in 1st round).

Not too worried yet. Have seen this before against the Bucks with teams starting out hot from 3 and then cooling off a bit as the game goes on.

I'd still go to the live on the app. And take the bucks.. Win or lose, they won't get completely blown out

ninjacookies · 05-03-2022, 06:26 PM

Welp. Bucks closed that quick.

JB unconscious.

BRob1 · 05-03-2022, 06:28 PM

Media vote/ aka narrative vote.. You can have regular season medals sir. I'm not even gonna bring up the 2 final mvps, but I did. I not pointing out joke- ers flaws, but you are waaay quick to throw kd under the bus, even though joke-er has never felt the steering wheel. Js

Ultimately, down 11 with Brown having the quarter of his life and playing all 12 minutes isn't the end of the world.

Was looking like it could be much worse there for a bit.
