Dillon Brooks leads the Grizzlies out of a 17 point deficit in the 4th to tie the game, then fouls out when it was 91-91. Warriors go on a 18-6 run, oof.

Despite going 1-7 in games without Curry the Warriors got the 8th seed. Most of you sub room temperature IQ dunces said they wouldn't even make the playin.

How does my ass taste?

what excuse? I said that the emergent 2nd round team was stronger. their preseason championship odds were +625 and the Knicks were +50000 and made no significant trade deadline moves

also keep in mind that the Celtics were +625 in a year where the juggernaut Warriors existed
9
the Knicks were +50000 in a year where there is a much more open field for contention. Knicks o/u 31 wins and Atlanta o/u 34 wins, Boston was projected for 59 wins

Okay so championship betting odds mean absolutely nothing in this convo, just an FYI. They're set based on betting volume, i hate when people use that in their argument as to who is better. It's literally all about the books getting even money, that's it.

Also, yeah of course nobody saw the Knicks being this good lol. 41 wins (in a 72 game season) and a top 4 defense in the league. They're not a contender in my eyes, but they're a good team for sure and obviously far exceeded expectations.



Anyways, the luxury of the #1 seed. The same way the #3 seed Sixers had to face the eventual NBA champions Toronto Raptors in the second round two years ago, the #3 seed Bucks now have to face a juggernaut like the Nets in the second round. That's why the #1 seed is extremely valuable (in addition to the home court advantage) so don't get all angry now because you're not the #1 seed lol. Times have changed

When will people stop predicting Portland will miss the playoffs in the Lillard Era?

Time to eliminate the nuggets again.

Putting money on both Sixers and Bucks because of the value. To win the conference, as well as win it all.

Both are at +300 to win the Eastern Conference

Championship odds: Sixers at +700 and Bucks at +800.

Took the Sixers previously when they were +1100 but that shit has now dropped quickly. Didn't put enough down though.

The Clippers finished the season with the highest three-point percentage and the highest free-throw percentage in franchise history. Their 83.9% from the free-throw line is the highest in league history.

very quietly strong this year
