Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

by John Wilmes

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

How long is the season this year? Are we back to 82 games?

I like Detroit, Wizards, and Raptors for the over, and Sixers and Clippers for the Under.

The line attempts to balance betting on both sides, not to predict final outcome. If you don't understand this statement, please don't throw your money away.

Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Yeah, my point with the top WC teams, and I was thinking more the Lakers, is strictly because of this reason. I imagine far more money would come in on the over because of their changes, fan confidence, size of fanbase, proximity to Vegas, etc.

Not that I personally am confident they will be over because of health and I am not sure Westbrook helps as much as people think, and I think them losing role players (Schroder, KCP, Caruso, Harrell, and Kuzma) and replacing them with worse role players will help at all. KCP and Caruso were their best 3 pt shooters and best perimeter defenders.

It's so hard for me to predict anything this year without knowing if half the league is going to start dropping like flies again. I think I'm a little traumatized by last season haha.
