Foget about it! 2) Barring an injury, the Clippers are winning the title. Don’t waste money on Laker futures. Without Avery Bradley, against a healthy Clippers team, they don’t have a shot. Clippers at +275 is a great price.  3) The Bucks are the class of the East but they won’t beat the Clippers and there is chance they don’t get there because coach Bud is a bit of a choker. 4) The NBA can’t afford to mess around with these series. Covid is rampant and one positive test can derail the playoffs. I expect quick series in the first few rounds (with maybe one or two exceptions) with the best team taking care of business and advancing. The goal here is to get to the finals without a hitch, not to extend series when there is no money to be made off box office sales. 5) Upsets in the first round: OKC and possibly Indiana (though I doubt it). 6) Best series moneyline in the first round: Denver at -200. Utah is a joke. 7) I think Celtics will beat the Raptors and lose to the Bucks in the East. But if Raptors advance, they have a shot against the Bucks. Yes first class back to LA all by themselves Why didn’t you bump this thread when Clippers were up 3-1 with a 16 point halftime time lead in game 5?! There were many hedging opportunities for those who took the Clippers to win the West or the Championship, though I’m sure not many did. If you could see this team folding the way they did (up 3-1 up 16 at the half in the closeout game) then you, my friend, are Nostradamus.
