Maybe "smashed"is an overstatement, but losing 4-2 means you lost twice as many games as you won. Still, there are many 4-2 series that are very competitive, and that was one of them.

Maybe smashed was to strong but they where in ferm control and never in trouble . Also I think 2 of those win where in Utah because Utah had home court

We are the 6th biggest market by some estimates. We got most the country behind one fucking great team.

Still, it will be a three point shooting contest and thrilling as hell. No one gives a shit about the East. What are the odds? Put a few grand on your beloved Raptors. If they let you bet sports in Canada, I really don't know.

Curry's ankles are fucked, as usual. Klay is out with a fractured thumb and now KD has a fractured rib. I'm pretty sure Draymond is hurt too. The team is pretty average without at least one of them on the floor...

Wishful thinking though I get your point. Even not at full strength they have enough against the East but Houston, you are giving me doubts. As I am a gambler but do my research and it's the only thing I win most of the time at the casino so doubt spreads across my mind.
Would be great though if Toronto took it all. I know with their record it wouldn't seem like a massive upset and I think they will glide through the East besides Cleveland. But win that series. Time of year when things get interesting in the NBA.

Yeah, due respect. What he expects from his teammates and how he ups their game. Record is poor yet would still take them if healthy over Toronto. Writing as a basketball fan not a better. Though I have never lost on him.
My hometown team is the Jazz. Should be interesting if they match up with Portland in the first round. Two cities with one franchise.
IMO the West is all that matters and it will be G.S. against Houston and whoever wins that gets the championship.

i may be wrong about the warriors since it looks like they wont be fully healthy.
Rockets may actually get to the finals, but i wouldnt bet on it
Cleveland will win the east, that is for certain. The NBA isnt ready to let the celtics or the raptors in the finals yet. I still believe the NBA is crooked as hell besides when its a game 7 in the finals and they have 2 teams they wanted in there. like the cleveland and warriors finals when the warriors won 73 games...i dont believe that was fixed because either outcome would have been okay for the NBA.
Want clear cut rigged series? The kings vs lakers in 02 and the mavs vs heat in 06. Both clearly 100% fixed.

I think there might be something to that. Those aren't the only two by any stretch. Second Bulls/Jazz was kinda messed up too. I was there. Shot clock violation call on a 3 in game 6 changed the outcome in the final :30. No one knows about that.

For sure theres more, you're right.
im just speaking on the series that i know 100% for certain, no doubt, were rigged.
you can tell just by watching plus that ref tim donaughy or whatever his name is admitted to it. i want to read his book im sure theres a lot more damning information in there about rigged series.

I didn't know a ref admitted it, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah, it was really rampant in the 90s and 00s. I guess it's still happening, but I don't really have a horse in the race so I don't notice.

you didnt hear about the Tim Donaughy scandal?! You MUST check it out. He gambled on games and fixed them and went to federal prison for it and wrote a book about it
Wikipedia him ASAP
