    Your conclusion was that the Pacers would win round 1, same as every person you muted.

    Yeah, but you didn't pick it. After saying you saw everything nobody else saw and everyone else is dumb because they didn't see it, you still picked like everyone else

    Because I decided to go out on a limb and pick an upset. Not all the favorites are going to win.

    Well you do know you don't get to choose who the favorites are right? The favorite is according to odds, and the upset is according to that too.

    So you wanted to pick an upset, so you picked the 1 seed to beat the 8 seed.

    Yep, that makes sense.

    I didnt pick the 1 seed to beat the 8 seed, I picked the "Pacers" to beat the "Hawks". Seeding doesnt translate to who is better, it only translates to who won more games.

    You picked the 1 to beat the 8. The 1 is ALWAYS a big favorite over the 8. Has been every year.

    The only time it could ever be different would be if the 1 seed lost its best players to injury right before the playoffs. I'm pretty sure no 8 in the past 20 years has ever been favored to take the opening round series, and that probably is true for the entire history of the current playoff system.

    FYI, a bet on Indiana to beat Atlanta would've required you to risk 6 to win 1. Some "upset".

    Ehhhhhhhh the way they are trying to protect people in the air and the way Mo really didn't get any ball, I can see the reason they called a flagrant.

    As usual, I would have said common foul

    Oh no, Lillard is hurt. Pat Beverly went by and kind of stood by him as POR called TO. Wes Matthews wasn't a fan of him doing that. Gave him a look
