Last 1:32 of game time took 32 minutes LOL. That was brutal, refs sucked life out of a great game.

I'll be honest the Suns are the first thing in the NBA to get my attention in many years. Not sure why I consider them such an underdog but I do. Not a great team the last decade or so and Chris Paul has been written off by seemingly every team in the league at this point. I could get behind them

The Thunder rehabilitated his image, which took a hit because of chunky Harden not wanting to work hard and that didn't sit well with Paul. Same thing with Westbrook. Say what you will about his play, nobody works harder than that guy and Harden didn't want any part of that. I found it very fitting Harden couldn't get through the season because he came in out of shape and kept getting hurt.
With Paul, you could see the transformation last year. He didn't miss a game and was super fit after adopting a vegan lifestyle. Lot of skepticism about that but the proof was in the pudding. I need to get back to that myself, best I've ever felt in my life. I just like meat too much so far to make it stick.

The NBA needs to take a good hard look at some of their rules & applications of those rules some of which took place last night. Take the Booker / Beverley situation. The way the rule is stated that call was correct but should it be?
The free time outs during replays/reviews are freaking ridiculous. If a team doesn't have a time out should they be allowed to gather around their coaches to draw up a play?

You could always try Keto or No Sugar, No Grain. I have done so and drop 60 lbs. Feeling great at 55 yo. Cutting sugar was the best thing I did. No pasta, bread, rice, etc.

Never cared for Harden much, I have always liked Westbrook.

It's hard for me to watch Giannis 'back out' only to then charge into the lane to either an uncontested dunk, or - if a defender actually presents a chest+raised-hands, to watch him take another step across the defender as he 'gathers, and get a layup attempt.
Good entertainment, and occasionally some good betting games.

last night's Clippers Suns game had the angle of "League Benefits from extending" (Clippers were down 0-2 in the WCF).
It didn't have (to my knowledge) a "Line Movement (or lack)" angle.
a couple earlier Playoff series games had both the LeagueIncentive & LineMovement models on the same game, and happened to be winning plays.
Clippers happened to win last night, to bring the series to '1-2'.
May very well have had no influence from the angle.
Was a game in the Play-In? series earlier this year, where Golden State looked to provide the NBA incentive should they have won, but they lost. Was a losing game vs these models.
The line movement model is the same one I look at in NFL games, and the league $ model is one for the playoffs.
No long-term records, just for entertainment purposes

triple (double) post
help me out RR , who is in the Finals?
/sorry for the triple post guys
-Tonight you have another "Line Movement" game
- ATL opens +7.5
- ATL takes $$
- ATL gets yet another 1/2 point to '+8' (rather than comes down to ~6)
If I was already wanting to bet Milwaukee -8, then I would be happy or even nudged off the fence.

Phoenix Suns win Game 6 over the LA Clippers and advance to the NBA Finals.
Patrick Beverley of the Clippers kind of lost it towards the end.
Watch Patrick Beverley push Chris Paul in back during timeout, get ejected (video):

Just the NBA doing what it does...which is sad. The ratings are what they are...and stuff like this is one of the reasons.

Chris Paul 16 yrs in NBA and finally makes it to the finals. I heard that on radio. Also heard he played the game of his life to get them there.
That’s a story I could follow

Future bet still alive with the Suns which I got +750 vs the price today of -175 (Bet365)
Praying that they make it happen in the NBA Finals!

You are looking good, they definitely won the war of attrition and got hot at the right time. I doubt Milwaukee has any chance without Giannis.
