No excuse then not to take Miami -6.5

How much you want at 6.5?

I would put a $1M ML on the Heat to win tonight if I had the money. Yes I would risk that for less bc I am that confident in the shitty Lakers to lose

I would put a $1M ML on the Heat to win tonight if I had the money. Yes I would risk a lot more than $1M bc I am that confident in the shitty Lakers to lose

You would win about $300k

Worth it

You'd do it and it'd be the one night that Westbrook goes vintage OKC and puts up 40-20-15 in a Lakers win

The line is -8.5

Yep probably. I have bad luck

Im also a Dame and Luka supporter. Doesn't make me a blazers/mavs fan.

I made it no secret on here for years now that Dame is my fav non Heat player.

No Embiid tonight. Myles Turner breathes a sigh of relief.

Shhhh

Heard the same thing. Second most points accounted for in a game since of course Wilt.

This is what I find very strange though.

So Mitchell had that 71 point game. The 70 point mark has been broken multiple times. And the league drug tested Mitchell.

Yet Luka did something no player has ever done, a 60/20/10 game but isn't tested?

To me that's a bad look for the league. Why test a player for a great performance but not test the other for doing something nobody has ever done?

From what I heard, after Mitchell's 71, the entire team was tested.

Not sure what the leagues policies are, but I assume entire teams are tested periodically...so it could be coincidental.

It wasn't.

Both sports tend to do this.

Cam Jordan for the Saints get tested anytime he records 3 sacks in a game

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Cavs scored 33 points in the first half? That's a quarter in this era of no defense basketball.

LOL.

[DJ Fieri]

And the Suns +4.5.

I was more talking about the coincidental part. Wasn't disputing that his teammates were tested as well

 

[Shanemansj13]

Could not have played a worse half

Yep saw that, figured it was just a common thing that happened to be right after that historic game

LOL.

All it takes it one 2-15 from 3. I have seen them play a couple halves this bad this year. It’s the NBA.

The Thunder beat the C’s by 30 w/o Shai. Down by 17 to the Magic with Shai
