    Cavs over Celtics in 7 is bold, very bold. Hah, tbh I can't be bothered to fill out a whole bracket. The NBA playoffs are long and boring and only a few series matter. I'm only interested in a couple. OKC vs SA, SA vs GSW, and GSW vs CLE. So I think it's going to be SA over OKC in 6, GSW over SA in 7, and CLE over GSW in 6.

    I also bet Cavs at +240 to win the Finals when I was drunk the other night. I'm banking on LeBron being out of his mind again, this time with a little bit more support. We shall see.

    It's not a bad bet. They're pretty safe bets to get back to the finals, and they're healthy this year.

    About my prediction, I just think the Cavs will almost blow it in a series before the finals.

    In the words of Kobe, he's a bitch ass n!gga.

    He is seriously one of the biggest bitches in the history of the league, and his height has nothing to do with it.

    wtf

    +240? Should've been more like +500

    they'll probably be +200 or more against GS or SA

    it's a horrible bet. You could just wait until the finals and take them then, and then you wouldn't be risking them losing in the East.

    Portland conceded defeat, taking out their starters down 20 with under three to play.

    Clippers leave in Griffin, Paul, and Redick, to shoot threes and run up the score.


    Doc learned this from LeBron, I suppose.

    The NBA really needs to do something about the parody of their league. These playoff games are an absolute joke!

    unfortunately Memphis' injuries hurt the situation.

    lol, well I found out I had a little bit of money left on a book that no longer takes USA players. I basically had a co-worker sign up for me and I would funnel money via him and I would use his country's location via VPNs. It was really a pain in the ass. Anyway I bet that small amount of money on the Cavs and I still like the Cavs but not the price, you are right, it's all about prices. But it was +240 at this book lol.

    When I checked before the playoffs the odds were something like this:

    I just feel bad for Memphis at this point. They are getting gassed in the 3rd quarter, I think they only had a 9 player rotation.

    Now, back to your regularly scheduled gambling discussion.

    The 2nd round is sure to be better than this. Almost every single game has been a blowout.

    too many teams make the playoffs

    it got especially ugly with Memphis somehow getting in despite missing their two best players

    San Antonio got a bye to the second round

    Maybe the NBA should think twice before allowing undeveloped 19 year olds into the league when their first round of the draft is basically 5 good players and a bunch of D-league prospects.

    Well time for the seemingly yearly series against the Spurs.

    Uh. Of course.
