2018 NBA Playoffs

[DarthFed]

I'm not totally convinced the Cavs take the Raps this time. Toronto has more firepower and experience than Indy but I don't think they have the same speed. Pacers closed out on LeBron's pawns as well as anyone I've seen and that's why they all struggled. If Raps duplicate that at all they'll win for sure.

I got the Celtics game right yesterday but only put $12 on it to win $18. I got $15 on the Raps covering a 7 point spread tonight to win $13.75 and I got $25 on Utah tomorrow to cover 11.5 spread to win about $22.

Figured Celtics would come out strong, a loss in game 1 would have been close to the end given how handicapped they are. And every team that's off more than 3-4 days in the playoffs has a big disadvantage in game 1. That extra time off is a bad thing.

Cleveland will be tired as heck tonight and Raps should jump all over them. Game 2 will be the war and if they win that then the LeBrons may be in trouble. I saw a bunch of ESPN analysts pick Toronto in 7...that isn't happening. LeBron will destroy them himself if it is winner takes all game 7, Raps will have to win in 6 or less.

I hate it when Bron gets reputation calls...as if the guy needs it.
If I am Raps, I am letting Bron do all the work. No doubles, nothing. Shot everyone else down, let Bron win by himself. he is tired. Can he do it all by himself? I doubt it this year but the guy is not human so...
Good start by Raps so far.

No. Definitely a tank or a cyborg...

 

[DarthFed]

Not a good sign for Raps that this is close with LeBron having a pretty poor game so far. They got to win this game or their chances are really bad.

 

[DarthFed]

They play every other day the first 4 games, nice edge for Raps but if it is 2-2 heading back to Toronto it's probably LeBron beating them.

 

[DarthFed]

Raps really losing their heads right now.

 

[DarthFed]

I can't believe that's a foul. I mean what is a defender supposed to do there, Ibaka jumped forward and landed on LeBron's foot

Defence is still working but offense became stagnant.

Putting the feet under where a shooter can land is a foul , no? Even maybe called a flagrant. I am sure more people have been hurt from that move than other moves. Remember Bruce Bowen?

 

[DarthFed]

Lol they missed 10 travels on Love

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Derozan takes one on the chin for the team . That has to hurt.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Seriously !

Yeah but the problem is Ibaka jumped forward, totally different scenario if the defender runs past the shooter and gives him no chance to land.

 

[DarthFed]

Tough shot there to tie it. Raps have missed 7 straight and many of them good looks

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Cavs first lead might be the game winner. One of those days.
Raps miss 10 put back opportunities.

 

[DarthFed]

Jesus how did they miss all those. The Kardashian baby-daddy is getting abused on the glass out there too.

 

[DarthFed]

He had a decent look, I thought that one might drop.

 

[DarthFed]

Bron killing them with passing tonight, Raps not able to close out like Indy was.

 

[DarthFed]

Thought Bron got away with a foul there on the board. I can tell he's gassed, not getting much lift in the paint.
