Hopefully missing game 1 means he'll be healthy the rest of the series

I definitely need sabonis to drop 40 on him

 

[spizike231]

I have a feeling Dray gonna be extra corny today with his bs / antics

 

[B Sox]

7 PNR possessions for booker
3 for KD
7 for CP3

That’s pathetic

Gonna have to get Monty out the paint I think.

Rooting for the kings but on high alert as far as officiating goes. I gotta imagine the league wants warriors vs lakers

HP had this stat coming into the game:

“The Suns ran the most isolation plays of any team in the playoffs in the first round.”

Which ok, it’s understandable. But when you’re playing a team like the nuggets- there’s zero reason why you iso as much as you did last night

It’s way easier to make that tweak rather than start spamming 3’s but both of those factors aren’t math’ing. Putting yourself at a disadvantage for no reason

7 PNR possessions for booker
3 for KD
7 for CP3

That’s exactly what it felt like

Biggest issue is Denver getting up 20 more shots than them due to the rebounds and turnovers.

Concerning for Phoenix because:

KD’s handle hasn’t looked championship-ready since that Boston series.

Denver is spamming pick and roll so you’re gonna have forwards boxing out Jokic.

I’m not even really mad at the ISO’s. They’re just going to ignore Okogie/Craig in the corner & wait for Ayton in the restricted area. So you’d just be exposing another Phoenix weakness

 

[dman14]

denver putting cp in every action. he isn't getting any breaks or allowing to slack off on defense. do not think you can hide him this series

 

[ballinsam23]

Thought Randle would be a go based on him walking and shooting on it just a day after. Hopefully this is precautionary

Dray bailed them out in G5 but the Warriors offense has looked awful when Poole has struggled.

Kings defense is supposed to be a weakness but the Warriors have two games in this series with a poverty offensive rating…. Which is why we’re here

If Poole is off, the refs cannot save them. Steph or Klay gonna have to put that cape on again.

 

[Blue Mamba]

I want the Nuggets to win the series, but it’s funny how many people declare a series over after 1 game

 

[dman14]

for the degenerates
line opened at warriors -2.5 and now kings -1.5

league not messing around

 

[Brownstone]

Hammered the heat money line baby

 

[allergic2broke]

Lol I thought randle was good. Yall be capping.

 

[pdino]

I like Knicks in 7. NY got a much deeper team and can give Jimmy different looks defensively. Gonna need Randle though

 

[don ramon]

whys that funny?

 

[B Sox]

Think I’m gonna stay away from betting the outcome of GS/Kangz. Maybe just stick to player props.

Have such a hard time believing GS could look like trash in 2 straight games, especially given the circumstances, but they have been bad on road all year.

 

[sohi 23]

Lol I thought randle was good. Yall be capping.

I still can’t tell if Knicks fans like Randle or not

sure, might be premature, but the nuggets really dominated both ends of the court. suns got dismantled

[toneboi76]

Got a weird feeling about the Knicks/Heat series. Think the Knicks have the better team but the Heat are so disciplined and well coached.
