Why not both?
Thanks to Hield's sharp shooting, Warriors made 3's at about the same % as Houston made 2's. Sengun and Thompson took half the Rockets shots, pretty much all 2 pointers, and both shot well under 50%. You cant play like that and score enough points if the Warriors have even a decent 3 point shooting night.
Betting note: I actually bet Podz O1.5 3's -190 odds when I got the Payton scratch news. He pretty much played the whole game despite not shooting well. So I was "right" but lost anyways because he went 1-7 on 3's.
Even though Gordon was probably fouled there, not kicking the ball back out to let Jokic or Murray have a chance to win the game and to have some hope in the series is lol.
And rofl. He redeems himself.
i will try this here since no response elsewhere...
so i only follow and typically only bet football. following a recommendation of someone off the site, i made a prop bet on the cavs to win it all.
so i guess i need to see if i should cover or let it ride. but my site isn't offering current odds. does anyone know what they are/any advice on what to do with this ticket now - it's not a lot of $ so inclination is to let it play out unless they are unlikely to make it to the end.
TIA

Odds to win 2024-25 NBA Championship
Cleveland Cavaliers +1000
$100 $1,000
Bovada has Cavs +625 to win championship so at this point I'd just stand pat.
As I remarked when I was watching a few Pacers/Bucks games, the Pacers really looked excellent. I know the Bucks were a mess, but the Pacers didn't just seem to be a product of a bad opponent.Hell of a game overall. May have short changed Pacers, thought Bucks were that bad.

Wouldn't surprise me to see them go all the way this year. You can get +3300 right now on BOL for it.
If anything was proven over the last 2 days, it's that no team is unstoppable this year. Maybe I'll throw a hundred on them.
Knicks had a really good comeback vs boston, The denver game was also entertaining. Thks for sharing you pick druff
Saw a stat, Mitchell with the Cavs, 9 games now (including last game) that he has attempted 30 shots, Cavs are 3-6 in them. 2 wins were in OT.
When chatting with friends that also used to play, we'll do the ole joke of "he's on your team". Superstars obviously everyone wants. For the middle guys. Everyone wants Draymond or the Thompson twins on their team. Everyone wants Jordan Poole or Jalen Green on the other team. Mitchell is quite the divider. When he's right, you want him, but when he's not.....

Yeah he has given lip service all year and actually played completely unselfish, and then it gets in a pinch, and he starts chucking. I get it, no Garland and it felt like they were hitting
every step back 3 they tried, and you feel that need to catch up, but really it wasn’t needed.
Despite all of it it was basically tied.
I’ll give him a pass for a game he’s been so good, but they defend the 3, that’s what the Pacers do. You should have 11 assists in a game like that. They are long and no need to keep chucking up contested 3s. They are a cocky bunch the Pacers. Talk a lot of trash. I think he gets into that mindset where he’s going to shut them up to the detriment of the team.
I think it’s why he plays so great against Boston. They aren’t assholes despite being really good. White, Tatum, even Jaylen aren’t really dicks. He always plays within himself and waits for his shot because it doesn’t get personal for him. At the end of the day, he’s a short dude. Long wingspan, but short. You can’t carry a team being his size. Curry couldn’t even with how he shoots. The only get on my back guys are the 6’6-6’9 wings who can do it all on both sides.
Preaching to the choir, as someone who watched Dame try as hard as he could, only to be subjected to playing during an era with a better version of himself in Curry.

Not a Celtics hater like many are but man, 15/60 on threes is a tough fucking hang.
Credit to Knicks for gutting one out but they won't miss at that clip again and Thibs already logging massive minutes on his starters.

Tough one BCR! I was reading to my son and scared the shit out of him by yelling when that shot hit.
Not really sure what even happened yet but what a game to blow when it looked like they had it in the bag with Mobley/Garland out.

Should've bet on Indy but forgot.
Their +3300 championship odds just went to +1400.
They still have a lot to get through (the Celtics and whomever comes out of the West), and maybe they blow it against the Cavs. But they're really looking strong.
Honestly I was shocked they were even ahead after finding out Mobley and Hunter were out with multi game injuries in addition to Garland. They can’t miss 2 all stars including their easily best defender and a 3rd guy who averaged 18. They are deep but no one is that deep. They should have won that one, but the season essentially ended in game 1 and I just didn’t know it.
Crappy end to a great year. I hate these seasons when shit is defined by guys getting hurt all playoffs. Reminds me of the year the Raptors won. Same way Pacers advanced last year.
I didn’t think we’d get by Boston anyway, but I wanted to see the series. Now not happening.
Boston gave up another 20 point lead? Giving up driving the lane for taking contested 3’s?
I’m supposed to take the Knicks in NY +5.5 amirite? NY will be insane
-signed
haven’t watched a game all year
This has been baffling, but that Knicks team literally couldn’t beat a single top 4 team all year. Like 0-10. Boston is on the wrong end of variance for a few games. I wouldn’t take the Knicks +15. For real. I wouldn’t lay 15 either. But the Knicks aren’t good. Boston has just shit the bed twice. Celtics best road team in the league this year though. 33-8 on the road. Worse record at home.
All Boston does is shoot 3's. Worked last year. But now, facing some actual defense, its falling apart.
Celtics will probably have 1 game here where they catch fire, but i wouldn't be surprised to see a Knicks sweep either. Or Boston wins in six.
Who knows anymore. One of the most random NBA postseasons in awhile.
Wanted to check price to see if Celtics had value and it's just -106, lol.All Boston does is shoot 3's. Worked last year. But now, facing some actual defense, its falling apart.

As (I think) BCR noted, the Knicks routinely got blown out by better teams throughout the year and Boston especially just wasted them. Thought the Pistons and Thibs minutes on starters would make this a cake walk for Boston.
The books are taking this and 3PA variance into play, but really hard to see the Celtics winning the next two in MSG, that crowd will be fucking nuts.
Bizarro playoffs indeed; only real bummer is the Cavs getting injured and Curry being hurt. Still think the Warriors could win that series though.

Thanks boys. I’ll pass.
Boston sports talk should be precious though.
