NBA Emirates Cup Survivor Pool: Round 3 Picks

1292 sats \ 34 comments \ @Undisciplined 17 Nov Stacker_Sports

We continue on having lost one of our contestants and two others hanging on by a thread.

Round 3 Games

Cavs @ Boston
Hornets @ Nets
Nuggets @ Grizzlies
Pelicans @ Mavs
Thunder @ Spurs
Jazz @ Lakers

We don't have odds for these games yet and there are injuries galore, so proceed with caution. I'm leaning towards the Mavs, who should make easy work of the Pelicans.

Picks due by tip-off on Tuesday.

Prize

Let's say 50k, since I know we'll get there soon.

I’m going Mavs!

I’ll happily do the same pick as @Undisciplined, but no way I’d do the same pick as @grayruby if he picked my precious Lakers.

I will join you in your Lakers fandom for one night.

Obviously, you need to save your Lakers for their title defense.

Sweet. But yea since @grayruby is betting on the Lakers it means he’s jinxed them and Jazz will win!

Better hope @realBitcoinDog's wrong about them.

In what sense? Did he say they were going to win the Cup?

40 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 17 Nov

Of course he did

Lakers aren't winning the cup. They will lose in the first round of the playoffs.

I initially mentioned them in my post, but then I looked at their remaining group play opponents and they could easily sweep.

14 sats \ 4 replies \ @grayruby 17 Nov

You think they will beat the Thunder? I expect Thunder to win that group and Lakers to finish second.

I expect OKC to win, but the size mismatch is extreme. Unlike most teams, Bron and AD know how to play bully ball.
