Parlay the 1. Make playoffs and 2. Lose in first round bet now. If you can.

Yeah, that number feels more appropriate for the assumption that the Nets will be intact during the playoffs. That team isn't a some crowned champion. Their S-tier offense is still paired with a question marks on the other side. But once you get past declaring them modest favorites, the Nets roster is dependent on older players with extensive injury histories and combustible personalities. I wouldn't feel comfortable laying money down on that coming through. I'm not even sure how I'd feel about betting on even odds for all of Harden, Durant, and Irving having had meaningful playing time together in the regular season and being fully healthy throughout the playoffs.

Forbes going back to Spurs

I bet you never thought you would live in a world where a guy plays for the Spurs, goes to the Milwaukee Bucks for a season to win a championship. Then goes back to the Spurs.

We're basically the new Spurs... It's more like he's going back to our g league team.

Yeah great. However the Bucks were averaging 120 points per game all year, and yet in that series it went down to 101.9.
So whatever question marks there are about the Nets defense, I don't know how I don't know why, but they somehow answered them when it mattered. And pretty convincingly too.

Bucks at +950 looks very attractive

What’s the average ppg for the last four games after Giannis stopped being a high volume three point shooter? Also what’s the points per 100 possessions? I doubt the Bucks were playing the same pace as the regular season in the games they played like six guys.

Nets and LAL signed/traded for a bunch of guys that may or may not fit. Everyone is ignoring Kyrie and AD get injured all the time and LeBron is 36.

So the bench for now looks like it will be

C Portis
PF Ojeleye
SF Hood
SG Conaughton
PG Hill

I think that’s deeper than last year actually.

Bucks used to always play up to the Spurs, split or take season series. It was bound to happen.

I like it a lot more than the start of last season. Augustin was bleh

Probably need another big man, right? Ed Davis or Tony Bradley maybe

theFireBlanket · Post #1378 » by **theFireBlanket** » Wed Aug 4, 2021 9:02 am

Augustin? Don't remind me.

Forbes is going to lead San Antonio back to the top of the conference. That's what he's doing.

I live in San Antonio and couldn’t figure this out right away. That is Tony Snell levels of invisibility.
