The playoffs are wide open this year

[tlongII]

Who would have thought this at the beginning of the year? With the health issues on the elite teams I think anybody could win it all.

Top teams that got 50 wins early are all running out of gas....gotta love it...much rather be sucking early in the season and peaking at playoff time.

We need another playoff thread.

 

[tlongII]

We need another playoff thread.

Agreed.

Can't wait to hear Nurkic's finals MVP interview

I mean, GSW/SA are looking weak rn but I think the best we do in that series is 6/7 games and out. UNLESS SA is without LA for the rest of the season including playoffs, then I think we could beat SA but GS still has so many weapons without Durant that it'd be a stretch.

There will be 14 teams that have no chance of winning the championship.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So playoffs is code for Lillards opponents?

 

[tlongII]

I'm saying we have a shot.

So I take it you are off the tank bandwagon then?

I'm a bit surprised to see Portland 4th from the bottom (as of Feb 27).



Since I'm not a betting man, I had to look up what these numbers mean:

Moneyline odds are favoured by American bookmakers. The figure quoted is either positive or negative.

• When moneyline odds are positive, the figure indicates how much money will be won on a $100 wager (this is done for an outcome that is considered less likely to happen than not). For example, a net payout of 4/1 would be quoted as +400.
• When moneyline odds are negative, the figure indicates how much money must be wagered to win $100 (this is done for an outcome is considered more likely to happen than not). For example, a net payout of 1/4 would be quoted as -400.

Moneyline odds are often referred to as American odds. Moneyline refers to odds on the straight-up outcome of a game with no consideration to a point spread. The favorite will have negative moneyline odds (less payoff for a safer bet) and the underdog will have positive moneyline odds (more payoff for a risky bet).

Alright. I'm into the delusion. Aminu will start playing like Rodman. Meyers will turn into Dirk. Nurkic has singlehandedly turned our team into the '96 Bulls. And which one of you soccer moms is bring the orange slices?

Yep. Things are always fluid.

It means that, if you bet $3M on the Blazers to win it all (and they do), you can buy out Uncle Paul, grab the stadium with it and rename it Rose Garden again while untilting the pinwheel.

Got it. Step 1. Get $3M. I'm on it!

This is why you play for the playoffs and not a pick. You never know what is going to happen in a season.

Pelicans have better odds than us??
