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.

I could have bumped this thread when Clips were 2-2 against an injured Dallas team. I never agreed with this thread when you posted it originally. That 2017 Warriors team was as loaded as it gets 16-1 playoff record and that was only 3 years ago? So I thought to myself maybe you haven't been watching NBA long enough to come up with those 3 ridiculous statements. I never thought this clip team were as good as people made it seemed. Agree with the depth, they do have talent but didn't seem as they were ever in sync as some of those more dominate teams in the past. PG said this season wasn't championship or bust and Lou Will said it was. This team clearly were never on the same page. Sometimes a championship team takes more than just talent and depth
