[NBA] Unofficial Discussion Thread

I am expecting another shock from Pacers to be fair. Wolves shocked the world by beating Nuggets, which was awesome of course and I do not think that anyone expected that, even though Wolves had an epic regular season. Next up, I think Pacers have what it takes to beat Celtics as well, Boston Celtics has been doing the same thing for a long time and that means while they are talented and even if you know what they will do, just out of sheer talent they can still win, if you are good enough then you can prevent them because people are ready and expecting their system, and Pacers might be good enough for that.

It's good to see a new face to win the championship this year. Out of the four teams remaining, I think Tatum and the Celtics deserves it the most but I have no problem if Luka's Mavs gets it. Anyway, how do you plan on betting in game 1 of the EC Finals? Are you going to skip it to see how they will match up?

Betting for the Pacers +9.5 @2.01 as this game is like a getting to know each other game hehe so i think even if the Celtics win game 1 they will not cover the spread. But i would love to see the Pacers upset the Celtics in the East Finals as i have a bet on them @15.0, very juicy to think that the Celtics is a beatable team.

Looking at the odds now, +10.5 is still very attractive @1.84 so I'm taking this one. This is going to be a close one, usually the Celtics started slow in the first two games of the series. And so this first game, specially coming from a rest, might put them at a disadvantage. Plus the Pacer are high in momentum right now after that big win against the Knicks and it shows their character.

@yahoo62278 - yeah, the Over might be a good bet too as both can score and averages 120++ in the regular season. So this could be a run and gun game for both good shooting team as well.

Congrats to us bro hehe, it was indeed a close and exciting game. The Pacers almost took that one if one for that costly error by the Pacers in the dying seconds which lead to a three point shot by Jalen Brown that tied the game and went into overtime. The game was also a high scoring one so congrats also to those who bet for the "over 230.5" before the started.

Good win for the handicap bettors Let's hope bookies will give us attractive odds like that for the rest of the series.

For game 1, there are a lot of players that played good but it was Jrue Holiday was a huge surprise to me. Being a widely known defensive player, he wasn't expected to score that many.

As expected for these 2 teams, the score is quite high as they're the top 2 teams in the regular season in terms of offensive ratings.

TBH, I'm shocked with how the Pacers played in Game 1. If only Brown's 3-point shot didn't go in, we might've seen an upset in Game 1. I didn't expect that the game will end up in a close one. Well, I guess I underestimated the Pacers so much knowing how good the Celtics are. Coming into Game 2, the Celtics have a curse where in their first 2 series, they lost in both Game 2's on their home. Will we see it in Game 2 as well?

Yeah, I thought that the Pacers are going to steal this one, and I have no doubt that we are going to win our bet, hehehe. But it was really exciting first game. Next game will be close again in my opinion, and the odds might not be as big as this one, but still we will get go and bet on the handicap for the Pacers.

The Over as well it a hit as the game went into OT. So at least there's a lot of NBA bettors who might get this first game and win.

Next game, Wolves vs Mavs - I will be on the Wolves bandwagon at -3.5 @1.82.
