Wild 2nd Round of NBA Playoffs

464 sats \ 15 comments \ @grayruby 7 May Stacker_Sports

Thus far, the second round of the NBA Playoffs has not been boring.

5 games. 4 comeback victories. 5 underdog wins. 5 road team wins.

Will this trend continue tonight or will Boston and OKC right the ship?

I expect both Boston and OKC to win tonight, but then again I expected the Cavs to win last night.

If Boston's injuries keep mounting, I could see them losing again. I'm pretty confident that OKC will make some significant adjustments and play a better game.

OKC needs to not be morons and foul guys after 1 second while Jokic is on the bench. That should at least solve the losing part. Then they can make a couple more adjustments and likely win the game without much drama.

That was unbelievably stupid. Without Jokic on the court, Denver is the worst team in the league and they needed a crunch-time three against a historically elite OKC defense.

All that really changed by fouling there, since both teams will trade free throws, is that they now have to stop the best team in the league (Denver w/Jokic) from making that crunch-time shot.

They fouled with 10 seconds left and then Chet missed his FTs that gave Denver more than enough time to get down court and get a decent look for 3. If they had even waited a few more seconds to foul Denver has to take a rushed three.

For sure. It went as poorly for them as it could have, but even ex ante it was a really bad choice to foul at all, and a completely indefensible one to foul so early and so far from the hoop.

Good point. They fouled them in the backcourt. Haha

I am kind of regretting taking Nuggets +23.5 when the lead was 26.

That's a blunder! I sold all my Yes Nuggets shares when it 37-18

But it's not over until it's over. Be hopeful. Maybe a dramatic turnaround

I doubled down. Just bet Nuggets +32.5. Just need Nuggets to go on a bit of a run in 2nd half and I should be able to close both out for a small profit.
