That was definitely one of the goofiest takes from last night

When you bet on a series do they do the .5’s too? 5.5 games?

Nugs in 6 tho

They do, for degenerates like me who want better than Nuggets series moneyline at -240

I’m surprised so many people are so gung-hi about the nuggets beating the Wolves. Wolves are better imo, I’m just not ready to pick against Jokic yet.

KAT the x-factor to me this series. If he plays well, I think the Nuggets don’t have an answer for the firepower that the Wolves will have.

Seems like the most pointless thing to do lol

To be fair, it’s all pointless.

Guy has to be one of the most deluded players in the league.

What leverage?

That Mickey Mouse ring was the worst thing to happen to MLGA.

Ham is going to get canned soon enough. 4 coaches, 4 systems, 6 years. No type of continuity or consistency. They just keep throwing **** at the wall and hoping something will stick all the under the guise of maybe being a contender.

Blow It Up!

Yeah whoever wins Den/Minny going to the finals. I can’t call it either way right now, it really comes down to KAT and the Nuggets bench.

 

[WASHED KING]

Lakers just wasting Bron's greatness.

Firmly rooting for Ant and Minnesota.

The #16 offense in the league is going to gun the defending champs off the floor?

It’ll be a rockfight if anything

It went 6 last year right? Definitely think they can take it to 7

They never should've gone away from that bubble core, that lack of continuity + subpar coaching after firing Vogel really killed their chances

4-1 with the 1 loss coming in OT to prevent a sweep.

3 of the 4 by 9+ points

Ingram was incredible against Bridges, Crowder and Phoenix in his first ever series. Scoring, passing, defense, he put it all together.

Had a strong individual finish to last season, leading up to team USA and i still don’t understand why the wheels fell off so violently. He was awful, not doing anything.

Then this year he missed 3 weeks and came back for game #82. Tough situation, but then again he always gets hurt at some point.

I’d imagine the front office is frustrated and will probably make a move.

Even when Ingram is good, the pairing of him and Zion just doesn’t work as well as it needs to and, of the two, I think you have chose Zion, injuries and all. (And it’s not like Ingram is Mr. Durable himself).

And I would think moving off Ingram would give them the best path to keeping both Murphy and Jones long-term.

I think LA had a foul to give on that last possession as well. Could've used it and forced Denver to inbound again. Also, buy some time for a quick talk. Either way, heck of a shot by Murray.

I agree, I never said anything about them gunning them off the court. It’s just that I think Minnesota is by far the best defensive team, so if they get a healthy KAT shooting well, I don’t see anyone beating them. All I was trying to say.

Leverage is Lakers don’t have any cap space to replace him.

And him leaving would be a huge hassle for the Lakers. Because then they’re trading Rui and draft stuff to replace him, and likely downgrading as well.

 

[Brownstone]

He’s played in 5 games though, little
Misleading

While we may find it amusing, I can't fault LeBron in the slightest for attempting to secure a job for his son. Moreover, as much as I may dislike LeBron as a basketball player, I can't deny that this would be an incredible experience. Playing with your son at the highest level is the ultimate aspiration. I won't fault him for having that ambition. However, regarding everything else, it's a different story.

 

[Platinum State]

I wouldnt be suprised if Minnesota, Denver, OKC or Boston win the chip
