This is an absolute blood bath.  Ruud can’t even get a point on serve.  Looks like Drago might of done more PEDs on the 3 month layoff.  This is like man vs boy.  

Anyone think Ruud can give him a big test today?  He’s played a lot of tennis lately.  Might have some heavy legs.  But he’s also taking on some very good opponents and knocking them right down. 

This one is tough because the styles of play are hard to contrast.  Musetti just saw a bomb dropper at altitude server in Diallo yesterday and handled it well.  But Draper’s left handed bombs are not seen often.  Musetti has so many different bag of tricks to toss at you.  These are 2 of my favorite players on tour.  Gun to my head slight lean on Musetti.  

De Minuar serve sucks so guys who are good at returning give him problems.  He’s one of the best on tour at returning, and Musetti is a great server and returner.  This is just a bad matchup for him.  Demon is a top 10 player by ranking, but his game has little dimension to compete with the more dynamic players on tour.  

Well they better get use to them.  They could easily win the west.  They have every component you need from a team.  Star power, outside shooting, defense, rebounding, great bench, good coach.  

Knicks don’t have a bench.  So it puts a lot of stress on the starters to play a lot of minutes night in, and night out.  Knicks needed a quality bench player to make this team a contender.  This will end up being a wasted window for a team that could have been a title contender with another decent move.  You are also seeing the value of a Divencenzio.  He was a vital cog for them last year.  And now he’s been a huge lift for the T-Wolves.  

Denver has a proven closer in Jamal Murray, the Clippers have a stone cold loser in James Harden.  You could tell immediately when Harden missed both FTs in the first few minutes of the game that it would be the typical no show performance he’s had virtually his entire career in 50-50 series defining games.  Clippers will go as far as Kawhi can take them.  Ben Simmons being a rotation hilarious though.  4 foot step back floater and he couldn’t even hit rim.  Clippers bench is horrific also.  Derrick Jones doesn’t even get guarded and can’t hit, Bogdanovic is good for 3-4 travels in a 10 min span + bricks + defensive lapses.  Not sure why Vegas thinks the Clippers are a decent margin better than the Nuggets.  At worst these teams are =.

Good luck Mac!  Those were my initial leans too as I was going through the lines this morning.  

I’ll be honest tank, sometimes your posts are amusing.  But there’s not a bats chance in hell I can understand anything you’re saying here.  Put down the four lokos before posting next time.  

Title is meant to read -275*

Thought this guy hated clay?  He beat Francisco’s tomato can brother who’s still very raw, and now he’s anointed a heavy fav?  Feels like a trap line.  I’ll pay a small price to see Nakashima off an impressive win over Cobolli.  Nakashima probably wins handily or blown out.  Guess we will find out soon!

He did just win gold last summer which I think was one last major thing he wanted to achieve.  But he’s dangerously flirting with that line of hanging around too long.  He’s one of the greatest competitors in the history of pro sports though, guys like him are built differently and will hang around far longer than they should.  I will say though, I’ve made a decent amount of money fading him lately.  His lines are still juiced up.  Books haven’t come close to adjusting.  

It is, his service return has basically fallen off a Cliff.  The other components of his game are still decent with ground strokes, ball placement and shot construction.  But everything involving the service, return and on serve, are at very alarming levels.  

They are a live dog for sure.  Big game Hellebuyck has been a joke in his career.  He’s 4-9 his last 13 playoff games with a sub .870 save %.  It’s been ugly.  And on the flipside Binnington has had many huge games in the playoffs in his career.  Fittingly these guys were both in net in the recent USA - CANADA battle.  

It’s getting sad watching the goat out there.  How much longer do you think he’ll play?  He’s getting slaughtered by tomato cans now.  That run in Miami might of sapped the last gas out of him.  

Tatum in, Holiday out.

Lol 0 for 7 on power plays.  Florida has tried to give this game.  They can’t even get shots on them either.  Team is a mess.  

Probably the worst 4 minute power play I’ve ever seen.  Good thing they had 3:30 after intermission to strategize it.  Dallas had more short handed scoring chances than Colorado had.  Makar played one of the worst games I’ve ever seen from him.  They’ll probably have a much different effort in game 4.

Blood bath.  Worst sorcial teams I’ve seen in the playoffs so far.

Nice hits.  Cobolli played excellent.  Very impressed with his mental game.  He was pushed and kept battling back.  Played extremely well in tight points.
