It seems like a really easy win right?(Betting that they won't make it)

If OKC's bum *** was in the top side of that Bracket they'd be done ASAP, but they got blessed by the Ball Gods with that Bracket setup.
You want the bet?
It's a good bet, for you...on paper.
Don't do it though. It's not a good bet.
Let's not do it, my Girl giving me hella side eye right now, she's thinks I don't care or value Money.
Just told her, yea....I guess.
1:1 on OKC not making WCF? I'd probably be down to take that for a rack

Don't even care if they make it. Way too much value to not take that if you're giving me those odds
 
Not sure if you can count on OKC shooting this well again next game, even if role players shoot better at home. If they don't get home cooking next game they honestly might lose in 5. Crazy to think about
This is kinda backwards from my POV.

Game 1/2
Port shoots 44% and 43% from #3pt
OKC shoots 15% and 17% from 3pt

SHould be, you don't expect them to shoot 16% from 3pt for every game of a 7 game Series. Even if OKC doesn't shoot 50% from 3pt next game, all they have to do is NOT SHOOT 16%
Portland is dead.

If Kanter isn't giving you 5-7 Offensive Boards and 7-10 Defensive, he's a loss out there.......Adjustments were made.
Portland won't win another Game, until next year.

(not because OKC is Good but because OKC is better than them)

Kanter was buns in game 2 and they still won by 20. I'd argue it's more likely for Portland to shoot well than it is for OKC to shoot well. And they have homecourt, where role players often perform better. OKC got an obscene amount of homecooking tonight and didn't really pull out the win until late.

I'm probably down if you are, if you're giving me those odds. You're extremely confident, I like it. I don't believe in Portland that much but I'm even more down on OKC

Kanter is an outlier, but he CAN win a team a game.
If he’s killing on Boards like he can, Portland is ALOT more dangerous. The fact he’s only done well 1/3 games leaves me as you said “extremely confident”

I think he won us the series vs Spurs in 16’ even though he was a -negative in +\- and that’s because Offensive Boards But, if he’s not doing Big things, My point was Portland is dead, because OKC will not shoot 16% again(math)

Side note: I legit think Russ would watch Barry Tramell burn to death in a car before he put water on the fire.
 
This is real old school NBA playoffs, animosity on both sides, trash talk, neither one backing down. Need 7 games of this.
I think CJ getting clowned by KD on his own Podcast last Summer gave Portland an extra battery. KD hit hard with that one.

No such thing as an easy win or easy money. Know what you mean though. Wifey always keeping me in check too in good ways.

I’m down to do it for $100 to $200. Let me know.
 
Westbrook and Dame are my 2 (now that Kobe and Wade are gone, Lebron, Kyrie and D. Rose) favorite players, for this current generation which is why I didn't want them to meet so early in the Playoffs!

Funny many of y'all clowin Westbrook and Dame when everyone knows damn well they are easily top 4 point guards in the NBA. If Steph was averaging a triple double for half of a season people would be talking about how great he is. Bottom line people hate on Westbrook especially like T.O. because they don't conform. Funny most hated on Jordan, Kobe and Iverson, but yet wish they were still around and now respect their game when they are gone.
