1. The Celtics covering was due to opponent miscues & star players on sixers going invisible in the 4th & down the stretch. 2. The above does not apply to the Lakers. The lakers role players will be ready & Lebron’s leadership + experience plays a pivotal role on why this will stand true. 3. Warriors have shuffled line ups non-stop and have not figured out a solid game plan. 4. Jordan Poole has been horrendous this series & he’s mentally out of it. Another huge sticking point why Dubs are continuing to struggle and haven’t looked as prolific as previous years 5. The only hope that remains with the Warriors is if AD is not 100%! |

Question Force…why not wait till after G1 to take Raptors Series price if you like Philly for G1? Price move will be in your favor? |

Big divisional showdown this week!! Titans coming off impressive wins, while Colts are doing their best to stay alive. I think the Colts may have LB’s that can SLIGHTLY contain/tackle Henry but he will get his. These teams played few weeks back with the Titans winning. Short turnaround in a game Colts need more but Titans have momentum. Thoughts? |

@Tyler2834 Kittle is doubtful bud. Really liked 49ers if he was 100% playing. |

The rotation on defense was the issue (tied to doubling/focusing on Leonard) and the coaches spoke on this as well. They were lazy/slow rotating on Gasol early, and they paid for it throughout the game as he got comfortable. Gasol is way past his prime, however this is a smart player who can still get it done - especially on the stage that he chased so hard in Memphis and continuously came up short to get to.

CJ & Dame could handle the pressure and were comfortable and in command of their offense - this is the biggest difference.
I think Begginners point is mainly that Denver's primary ball handlers / setup guys (Murray / Joker) really were not driving plays or calling certain sets in crucial moments which lead to bad shots/turnovers or shots again a winding clock. Coach can alleviate this for his guys for sure, but the players definitely have to be held accountable as well. Jokic makes one extra free throw we're possibly looking at 5 OT's then who knows ..

This could be a better strategy betting game by game versus taking series price upfront. Also, I think the dubs are just as eager to play the rockets. The rockets have been very vocal and they are hungry but be careful what you wish for. |

If you like HOU you will get good ML odds for each game. |

Sixers have not impressed me outside the 51 point 3rd quarter. Chemistry is lacking and Simmons being a liability doesn’t help. I don’t see him getting the calls or being as comfortable on the road.
Nets are a well coached team, and sixers May have trouble keeping up on the road as I expect Nets to shoot well from 3 at home.

I’m with you Force. Sixers are my squad but have left me so unimpressed and the G1 slip is a direct reflection of where this team is. Outside of the 51 point 3rd quarter, they haven’t shown me much aside from getting some home cooking and foul calls. Nets are a well coached bunch and this home game will serve them well. |

Sixers starters I imagine only play partial minutes - and that bench is not that deep at all, might be a game where you see guys like Justin Patton, Zhaire Smith, Bolden, etc get some looks. Might be better to take Sixers 1H if anything.

Regardless if Jazz get matched up with Rockets - I think Clippers can still take out Portland. Out East I don’t see any first round upsets occurring - Embiid is healthy and Sixers just wants him 110% for playoffs. Brooklyn will make it interesting if they match up with Philly, but won’t take the series. |

Next man up mentality? Premier player goes down...we’ve seen it before. My only thing is I don’t see Auburn shooting lights out from 3 again. I also believe the game against UNC was their chip. |

I've got to imagine this is just a roll of the dice on some good odds? I do think P.G can help them with closing games out, but for some reason I don't think they have any answers when teams double. Surprised you don't have your Blazers instead! Unless you already took them....do like those guys, if Nurkic can get consistent that team has some good depth.

LC doesn't force you guys to enter his thread, or follow his plays...that's a personal choice you make at your own risk, very simple.

Raptors have the bigs to match up with Capela/Nene on the pick/roll plays, in addition to making it tough on Harden to drive to the lane, or on switches. Good rebounding team as well to eliminate second chance points. I’m rolling with the Raptors. |

We can use 15 out of Dray but we won’t need necessarily need that from him just another regular season loss for us Bingo Trey. Kerr knows when he needs to put his foot on the gas. The regular seasons game don't mean much when they know they can beat any team with or without HCA in playoffs. This team doesn't need to give 100% effort even night in the reg season, we'll get that in the playoffs.
