Big upset. Raps looking good so far.
Yep. By the looks of the score and remaining time, seems like a straight forward win for the Raps. Meanwhile, my palms are sweating watching the Bucks vs Wizards game...

I need the Pacers to win tonight. Thought it was a cakewalk against the Pistons but it’s pretty close.

You got the win. I'm still in it too, still 1 strike. @Undisciplined got his win too from the Raps. Waiting on the Warriors vs Spurs game and the Clips vs Pels game to see if I'll have some company in the 1 strike club.
But what a night of upsets. First the Celtics fell, then the Heat lost to the Knicks in a close game, and the Nuggets lost to the Rockets. That West Group B is looking hella interesting, especially if the Clips beat the Pels tonight. If that does happen, so many teams will be 2-2, and it comes down to next Tuesday's Rockets vs Mavs game.

The Heat game was ridiculous. Complete blow out in the 3rd and then complete collapse in the 4th.

I watched the end of that game after the Raptors game ended. Disappointing finish for the Heat but since I have already used them I don't mind if they get ousted from the tournament.
reply
I feel good about using them already, too. The big mistake I made was using the Lakers instead of Denver. I knew Jokic wouldn't care about this tournament, but I thought Denver was so much better than everyone else that it wouldn't matter, and I failed to consider how much LeBron would want to be the winner of the first tournament, just in case it catches on and ends up mattering to people.

Yes, I am beginning to regret my Lakers pick and saving teams like the Nuggets, Bucks, Celtics, Warriors. I guess the Bucks are probably getting in.
reply
I also regret saving the Nuggets, but they did lose 2 games, so it could cost you a strike if you had pick them to win over the Rockets or the Pels, which are legit picks.
Still can pick the Celtics to win over the Bulls on Tuesday, which is what I'm leaning towards. My only concern is they make it to the playoffs as a wildcard, and proceed to do well. Will need to consider the chances of the Celtics making it to the playoffs.
I didn't catch that one. Seems like the Heat and the Bucks will battle it out Tuesday for top spot in their group; while the Knicks might be able to sneak into top spot with a win over the Hornets, plus a Heat win over the Bucks, plus good point differential.
Currently watching Spurs vs Warriors. Close game so far, let's see what the second half brings.
