2018 NBA playoffs

[tlance]

We clearly need one of these.

Sticky please @trojanfan12!

I obviously love the playoffs, but I haven't been this excited about NBA playoffs in a long time. So much uncertainty this year. Going to be epic!

I hope so. Last year was such a disaster. The only series i enjoyed was the wizards/celtics

As they should.

They are both beatable at the moment, but nobody else is in their class.

Yup.

However no way would I touch the Rockets or Warriors are their current odds(5-4 and 6-5 respectively).

Jazz at 25-1, Sixers at 15-1 and Thunder at 50-1 seem like great value bets. Particularly the Thunder.

I'm really looking forward to competitive series this year. Obviously I'm pulling for the Warriors, but I'm also just a big basketball fan. Can't wait.

I’d love to see a Rockets-76ers Finals. Would certainly be more interesting to me than seeing Cleveland in it again.

Yep, if I were a gambler, I'd put a few bucks on the Thunder at 50-1. They definitely have the talent to make a run if they can all get on the same page.

The Warriors still need to prove that their recent dip in form was purely due to a lack of interest. The Rockets still need to prove that Harden/Paul/D'Antoni aren't huge choke artists. Harden in particular.

Cavs +800

76ers listed as 25-1 on that link. I’ll take it.

Never before has the talent gap for seeds 3-8 been this miniscule.

Wouldn't surprise me if 3 beats 6 in either conference.

Isn’t the 3 supposed to beat the 6?

Uh.....

If he pissed dirty, what is there to defend?

Was he on prescribed medication?

Can't you get a waiver for that?

Even if it was an accidental failure to disclose, he still gets suspended for taking it.

....unless he is claiming he was roofied.

Oh Shit...lol

6 beat 3.
