NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

You dont want Miami. Spo >>>>> Mazzula. Honestly its prolly infinity+1 >’s.

And Heat play dirty and look to injury players (this a known fact) so you can win the series but one of your main guys is done for 2-3-4 weeks.

Celts -1800

-235 to win in 5 or less

wonder what line wouldve been w/ butler...i think around celts -450...Little higher than Denver

I know Spo is great and all, but that "5 games or fewer" line seems like Floyd v. McGregor levels of free money

Kings getting 6-0'd by the Pels is hilarious

Has there ever been a more pointless, less interesting 4v5 than CLE v ORL?

Thunder 4-3 vs Pels (think this goes long, although not sure on Zion status)
Nuggs 4-2 vs Lakers (most seem to be picking 4-1 or sweep, think personnel wise nuggs a little worse w/o Brown vs Lakers than last yr)
Suns 4-2 vs Wolves (bet this at -115 when it came out...KD seems brutal matchup for a 2 big team)
Mavs 4-2 vs Clippers (no clue on Kawhi status but I liked Mavs anyway)

Mavs 4-3 vs Thunder (I'm going Mavs, Luka > SGA)
Nuggs 4-2 Suns (prob similar to last year, KD/Book shoot themselves into some wins but ultimately having Nurk and basically no backup C isn't enough)

Nuggs 4-2 Mavs (lot of scoring, not much to add)

Celts 4-0 vs Heat....shrug
Philly 4-2 vs Knicks (this one I was most conflicted about, I'm just gonna default to lolknicks and thib teams being overrated in the playoffs but Playoff Embiid has left a lot to be desired)
Cavs 4-2 vs Magic (This series seems gross but Magic probably will just suck offensively)
Pacers 4-3 vs Bucks (If Giannis is reasonably healthy I think Bucks win but feels like he isn't and rest of team is slow olds)

Celts 4-1 vs Cavs
Philly 4-2 vs Pacers

Celts 4-2 vs Philly (The East sucks so much I don't even have much to add after the first 1 rd)

Nuggs 4-2 over Celts in finals (Obv Celts clearly have the most equity because of their road but think SU I'd favor Nuggs for now)

there ya have it

Oh come on.

Strongly like DAL > LAC and MIL > IND
Weak lean PHI > NYC and PHX > MIN
Wouldn't be surprised if the two #1s don't drop a game between them
DEN v LAL will probably have some real good games but can't see Jokic not ending up on top

Keon Ellis going from 15 points on 8 shots to 0 points on 5 shots, and Murray going from 32 points on 20 shots to 11 points on 12 shots between the Warriors game and the Pels game hurts a lot.

wait for heat to win g1 and get 5 or fewer +175

Every year there is 1 series like this in the east

Hockey playoffs start today so come to the NHL thread and watch a real sport😆

**** your mother.

Hockey is an inferior sport.

I'd take a dump on the ice if I ever got the chance.

That is my Spirit Dog

This is mean

Accurate

But mean

everyone and their mother on PHX and sleeping on legit wolves. gonna be ant's coming out party licking kd's ancient tears

suns settling for midrange shots + twolves dominating the boards could be a problem. one of the more interesting series on paper, will be interesting to see how it plays out

refs trying to make the suns happen

all those reviews while there's another actually exciting game meant to start.. come on man

ok looks like ESPN is just going to wait for garbage time to start knicks sixers, money wins I guess

Knacks looking a little rough to start. Shots just aren't falling

Monster game looks like Knicks gonna take it
