Hawks 55 - Pacers 23 at the half.

Watching the Pacer implosion has been one of the most bizarre events I have seen in a very long time of viewing the NBA

Right now that 3rd seed in the East is geting important as you would face Washington then Pacers vs Broolyn and Heat. Got to believe Indiana will get it turned around though

Interesting fact for you gamblers

The Pacers are 4-25-1 against the spread over last 30 games. Wow

I think it's a combination of Paul George's personal problems and chemistry problems since Turner was brought in. Watching the Pacers you can tell certain players don't get along at all.

You are James, Wade, or Bosh. Pat Riley comes to you and says if all three of you pot out and re-sign for $10 million, I can get Pau Gasol or Carmelo Anthony in here. What do you say?

Wade and Bosh should be a slam dunk yes. Its a shame whats happening with Wade. If healthy, right now still he is a top 5 players. Bosh might be 22-10 somewhere else, but he is still soft and moist and wants to bomb 3's and not play inside. I think if they win it this year, they stay together. If Wade cant play or they just get beat straight up I think Lebron leaves. We shall see.

The number of games literally means nothing. Im betting the series, I already have locked in at the prices I list.

San Antonio, but Dallas gets 2. No bet here as the Spurs are minus 900. Actually if I had to bet it I would take Dallas at plus 640. Again no bet here, Spurs in 6.

Memphis in 7. Clearly OKC can win, but I dont love the way they finished the season. Ill stab $100 on Memphis plus 330

Golden State in 7. Not as confident as I would be with Bogut being out. But I cant jump ship now. Golden St for $200 at plus 320.

Houston. I like them in 6. I was hoping this series would be close to even. But Houston is to much a chalk for me to wager.

Miami in 5.

Indiana in 5. No bets straight up on either

Toronto in 7. Value at plus 140. Toronto for $100 at plus 140

Wizards in 7. Value at plus 175 IMO. Washington for $100 at plus 175

My finals prediction is Miami vs either Houston, Golden St or LA. My only strong opinion in the West is that I dont think either of the top 2 seeds gets to the Finals.

NBA would never approve the contracts.

Us as them would say sure but Bosh doesnt exactly have a whole bunch of endorsements lined up like James to be giving up 10 million a year during the end of his prime earning years and Wade is a big players union guy who wouldn't sell them out that badly I don't believe.

[King Glorious]

I agree on all points. The question would be how can you force guys to take more money if they agree to less? As you said, Wade is a union guy and James is too so they would not do it. Would be an interesting idea though. I wonder what's going to happen down there. If I were James and Wade and Bosh opt in like they are expected to, I would seriously consider leaving. But that would do serious damage to his reputation again.

It's the Andrew Bynum effect.

These NBA playoffs have been incredible so far. It's unfortunate that Al Jefferson got hurt during the first game against Miami, he's still tough for the Heat to defend even on one leg.

It's unreal how ****ed up the Pacers are.

As far as the West goes...it still looks like it's wide open and anyones for the taking.
