    Heat vs Pacers ECF.

    At least the Pacers made it an interesting path to get to the expected destination.

    No, the Pacers and Heat were not favorites to reach the ECF :p

    Are you sure the Wizards and Nets aren't meeting up in the ECF? Because our NBA expert said they would.

    It makes sense, but I'd much rather just do the parlay, and look over the risk to win amount, before deciding. haha.

    Thanks though Yis. I got a calculator out, and tried to follow. When doing such, it made sense. I knew what you meant. It wasn't hard to learn how to bet when I first started. My whole life, lines were hard to figure out as a kid, and teen, but once I did my research it became very easy. Parlays are a whole different story however. Anyway game is on, done posting for a bit.

    I'm honestly shocked you didn't win more on that open parlay. It was 4 bets, and you barely reached the +.

    it ended up being the equivalent of a +132 bet.

    A lot of chalk, as I knew it would be (I didn't mind because I was pretty confident Miami and Indiana would meet). Miami over Charlotte adds almost nothing because they were 1 to 20 favorites.

    I'm going to keep complaining and say it is brutal that it's 12:05 AM EST and the second half has not started. 9:45 EST start time is solid, I don't care about the other time zones :D

    EDT ;)

    It was only 11:05 PM EST

    That sounds more like it.



    Ibaka limping to the locker room.

    Yeah Ibaka is limped off. If it's serious Thunder could win today, but hurts their chances big time against SAS

    calf injury, they're saying he won't return tonight, questionable for Game 7 if necessary

    It's kind of ridiculous how bad Clippers are when CP3 is off the court:
    -13.8 rating when he is off the court!

    EDIT: that's for the whole playoffs. For the 5 games of this series, Clippers -38.4 net rating when he is off the court. Offense stagnates big time.

    Durant caught fire after the really slow start. It's not great offense game plan, but it doesn't have to be when the guy can pull up 5 feet behind the 3 point line and drain it

    The Clippers offense in the first 5 games without him is 81.8 rating. That's ridiculously bad. And the defense gets worse, close to 120.

    Heh

    Royce Young ‏@royceyoung 5s
    Can OKC keep executing? Thing is, with Durant feeling it, he can fix even the most horrible, awful offense with just a pretty jumper.
