Get hyped for the colossal duel tonight between the two worst defenses in the league! Will my Bulls or the Gandalfs allow more than 140 points? Who knows! I've been told that the part of the Cup floor paint tonight will be a hopscotch court so that Giddey, Vucevic and any Wizards can play that instead of actually walking to the defensive end of their court.

Hmm...I'll guess: Bulls, Heat, Rockets, Spurs, Suns

Always love seeing LeBron vs. KD. You're probably talking at most 5-6 matchups between the two remaining.

The over (CHI/WAS) is 245, which is 10+ every other game, and the nearest is LA/PHX, the rest are in the 220s lol, you're on to something here.

Buzelis vs Valančiūnas, woo!!!!!!!!! can't wait, they don't pay my boys for the defense.

Those each look interesting. Spurs should probably walk Utah, but the Jazz are f***in huge.
