[NBA] Unofficial Discussion Thread

[Zed0X]

I skip betting on this game and probably on the West game 4. I've been losing on both series I might as well save a bit and bet bigger on the Finals.

I also skipped betting on the winner but bet on the total score and fortunately my bet won hehe.

Indiana had a chance to win in both game 3 and game 4 but they choked on the dying minutes, failed to defend when it mattered the most.

Well, congrats to those who bet for the Celtics to win in this series, though the odds is not so attractive but if you are a whale then you might have won big also.

Well done. I was actually contemplating on betting on Celtics -2.5 @1.85 during halftime but I still didn't pull the trigger. I would have recovered some of my previous losses. Well, it is what it is and I'll just wait for the Finals. Hopefully, we get a more interesting match up and longer series on Celtics vs. Mavs.

Great bet, congrats, I was also watching the game live but didn't bet as I have the opportunity to go for the Celtics in the last 10 minutes. I was waiting for them to be t he underdog. But unfortunately, the odds still favor them even if the Pacers is leading 4 points and that was really strange. But I guess the odd makers is correct.

Next is the Mavs vs Wolves, although Luka is not 100%,  I think the Mavs are going to close this game out as well and score a clean sweep. ML for Mavs is @1.82 currently. That is a great bet in my opinion.

I have betted for the Mavs on this game bro and right now we have an exciting game with a tie score at the end of the first half. The good thing for the Mavs is that the big 3 of the Wolves got 3 fouls each and this might affect their game in the second half.

Unfortunately, even if the big 3 of the Wolves was in foul trouble, they were able to escape with a big win as they hit clutch after clutch. And it looks like KAT and ANT took it personally in this game as they goes back to their old self, first time in the series.

Luka though has that 3 plus a foul. But he blunder the free throw that supposedly cut the lead into 2 and they will have to foul and force the Wolves to hit 2 to secure the win. So we are back to the Wolves homecourt next and so we will have to wait who will go to the finals against the Celtics. Although statistically, no one has come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs in the NBA. But let's see what the Wolves can bring in the next game.

Those 2 big 3' by Towns killed the Mavs hope of a sweep. Now that the series will be back to Minnesota, there might be a chance that this series will end in seven. I hope that Lively will be back in game 5 as the Mavs were really struggling defending the bigs of the Wolves without him.

He already did it twice. Once against the Thunder and once against the Timberwolves. He missed 2 crucial free throws in the whole playoffs that could've change everything.

I really thought that he will destroy his jersey again like what he was always doing in the past to release his frustration to himself. Luckily, he didn't, but I know the feeling of you have an opportunity to decrease the lead, but your free throw didn't go in. D Anyway, I'll just think that even though he will sink that free throw, the lead will cut down to 2, then Minnesota will make those 2 free throws to increase their lead by 4 and its game over, so I guess hitting or missing that free throw will not matter that much.

If the Timberwolves will lose on this one, it will be Gobert's fault . Kidding aside, I hope that the Wolves will force this into a Game 7.

Another game that's decided in the last minute but it's good to see how the Wolves did not fold this time.

The win makes the Mavs as the underdog for game 5 @2.55. The Wolves probably feels more confident now but I still think it will be the last game of this series. I expect another close one that's why I'll take Mavs +4.5 @1.90 I know I said I'll skip until the Finals but I can't pass this up.

Yes, I thought that there will be another meltdown like KAT fouling out or ANT throwing an errand pass and then automatic turnover and Mavs scoring as the defense of the Wolves fall apart. But it's a different Minnesota team that shows in this game. They have poised, although they are in foul trouble, KAT made clutch's 3 and ANT also not missing that many shots.

They are the underdog because the game will be held at Wolves homecourt, so that is a big advantage for them, although they've lost the first 2 games here. But they needed this game to stay alive in this series or even make history as the first team to make a comeback from 0-3 deficit and win. So that will be a big chance for them, so another close game and it's really hard to predict who's going to win. Still the key here for Wolves is not to get into foul trouble and play good defense, take away the ball from Luka.

Yup, game decided in the last minute and lucky for the Wolves that the breaks of the game favors them. You have a good bet mate as game 5 will once again be a close one with Lively back in the roster. I'll do a live betting as i've and wait for the Wolves to lead by double digit before betting for the Mavs so that i can get a high spread hehe.

I passed betting this season because none of my favorite teams goes to  this level and I may  consider in the next one .

Just drop by here mate to wish you all luck in your bets guys I know that some of you are trying to make money and advantage in this finals but try not to fell in over betting as how we do in some days before.

Many felt that the Wolves' win in Game 4 is a momentum shifter on the series already, but I might be wrong.

As per ESPN, Lively is still questionable for Game 5 and we know how impactful he is not only for this series, but for the whole playoffs. Doncic is questionable but we know that he will play - same with Conley. Anyway, betting on the Wolves on this one might be attractive knowing that it's their home, but the Wolves have a record of 3-4 on their home this playoff (lost twice on Denver, and Dallas both in Game's 1 & 2).

It's a small sample size though, but I always believe that whoever has a clutch player on their team wins, and with this one, I believe the Mavericks have it hence, they will win in Game 5 and will upset the Timberwolves on their own home.

Thanks for the reminder bro but it is fun to bet in basketball especially in the NBA. This is gambling and we already know the drill, don't fall in love with it hehe.

@LogitechMouse, agree with you mate that game 4 was a game changer but with regards to history that no one has ever come back from that 0-3 hole then i think Dallas would finish this series in 5 or 6, just my speculation though.

This series was over the minute that Dallas took a 3-0 lead. No team has ever come back from being down 3-0 in the history of the NBA and I don't think Minnesota is the team that can win 4 in a row. They're good, but not good enough.

I look for dalls to close this series out in Minnesota game 5.

The last time I checked, ML was around 1.50 but I already lost confidence in in their capacity to beat the Mavs at home. They might win but I don't find the odds as attractive and I don't think it's wise to bet on them on a - handicap.

I look for dalls to close this series out in Minnesota game 5.

The numbers is really against the Wolves here, they really have a big chance in this series to make it at least, but they blow the first two games and I think that is the final nail in the coffin for them. Although they won the last game, recovering from a 0-3 hasn't been done before by any team in the NBA. The best thing they can do is to force a game 7, but then the Luka will not let this team down and doesn't want to be the first team in history to blow a 3-1 lead and lost. There are reports that Lively will be back in the line up, so that will be a big problem on the Wolves as Lively contributes big in this series with his rebounds and those easy points in the paid because of Luka or Kyrie's lob pass which is un stoppable.
