That 3 at the end was so close. But yes. Summer league is the right term yet even then you had fans. But like every sport would you rather they don't play at all? I will take this over nothing. And I am glad that 3 to win it rimmed out.
Feel all sports will be known as Covid year with whatever happens. Just glad they are playing.

This bubble environment is showing the skill gap between superstars and everyone else. Look at the numbers giannis and harden put up after such a long break. Now look at the pels just chucking up missed threes like its a charity game. Paul George is on fire right now and we don't have an answer for him.
We won't be making the 8 if this is how they play.

"The Jazz were bad offensively in falling behind 29-15 after one quarter and 66-42 at halftime, and they never mounted a rally. Yes, the Thunder played very well defensively, but Utah played with very little flow and also missed a ton of shots. At intermission, the Jazz were 18-of-44 overall, including 3-of-15 from behind the 3-point line."
That is D-League play. Conley and his two years of 30 million I hate it. Still trying to figure out what the playoff format is. If they get the Rockets I really don't like their chances. 4 seed Houston to 5 seed SLC. Was looking forward to it before the new normal of the earth.
They never beat OKC, ever. Whether Westbrook was on the team or not or Harden for that matter way back when. OKC management is idiotic as hell but they definitely know how to beat the Jazz. That was horrid.
Houston and the Bucks should be interesting. Pissed me off that the announcer said the 30 win Blazers were better than the Jazz. Right. Actually wouldn't mind seeing that matchup in the finals. With Bog out for the season Jazz don't have a chance. Would like to see the Bucks win honestly since MVP man will go to a big market of course down the road. But would be some good basketball.
Have no clue how to bet this NBA season. Or MLB for that matter. Still, heading to Nevada for my birthday. Hope it brings me luck. Should be a good game tonight on ABC.

Lakers news. They won. Seedings Rockets 6th, behind OKC. Schedule lets up. Time for the real games to start. God we need Boj. Still, GET ON WITH IT IN THE FUCKING BUBBLE AND THIS TRAVESTY OF A SEASON AND SUMMER! Was amusing seeing Paul Pierce looking bored as hell even in a close game and one knows they had to pay him to sit through it. Still, with that kind of money why he would, I do not know.
Are they going to pump in 20,000 viritual fans for the NBA on their home screens for the Finals? Lakers easy.
Just ban all sports till next season and hope. MLB players are starting to drop like flies and the NFL is a petri dish. Made me laugh G.B. head coach got it and all the players opting out because it doesn't count on a year on their contracts. NFLPA got a sweatheart deal so players don't have to play in their prime and I could go more into it but won't.
What to do with the rest of my Summer? Heading to the mountains. Let me know who gets the championship and if it is the Rockets will send you a 100 dollar bill. Holy shit I have all this money but there is nothing to spend it on. Fuck it, going gambling. At least I can bet on sports and hike some nearby mountains and drink and smoke and other things if I choose for some kind of birthday.
500 on a game, don't have the balls for a grand. Just going to bet on teams that have something to play for. Lakers clinched the top spot in the West today. Sad time in America when extra money only thing one can do is sports bet and I hate these fucking masks.

Why don't you invest in a facemask company with all that spare money barns?
So the hunt for the 8th seed just got interesting. Grizz, portland and spurs drop a game while pels finally get a win. And suns on a roll though its a lot of ground for them to make up.

Thought that was only in China. Bad Omen to them and maybe to a different curse on your from your native population. There are a lot here in the States but not snow. Lot of hauntings and cursed lands though.
Think I will put 500 on the Jazz against the Grizz today. What is the Loonies to the dollar? Don't know. Researched it. And oh yes, it is my my birthday. I find the running joke amusing. No one gives a shit if it is your birthday and when one is over teen years, who gives a fuck? And I don't mean it sexually. Aging brings the ultimate outcome of death. Get why, especially with women they don't like to bring it up.
Boj is out and Grizz lost someone good so spread or money line? Choices one has to make. If Ja goes off but I doubt it with Mitchell. On to tomorrow and Nevada. Won't bet on cricket. Guessing that is the national pastime of the Aussies but most likely soccer/football/rugby. Who the fuck knows? Basically a pick um or -2.5 Jazz. Will see when I wake up.

Good luck man. Griz are 0 from 3 so not a good sign for them. Jazz look good. I suck at gambling so don't take my advice though.

Was actually -5.5 and they only won it by making free throws at the end as it was at 4 points with 19 seconds left. But that is gambling.
Trying to figure out if the adrenaline is worth it, the highs and lows. For some reason like my brother I usually bet on games that come down to the wire.
For those that take esoterics is strange everything going through ones mind before making a bet and it doesn't matter if it is sports or the next hand of blackjack. Instinct and fear. Strange.
I like blackjack and usually lose but win on sports as my habit is playing it and drinking and smoking until the second half or late innings. Think the secret is being able to take a loss. I win more than lose but still one wants to win all the time which is impossible of course. Hellish game. I prefer blowouts.
Everything is weird with sports this year. Like betting red or black on roulette. But at least you don't get the greens. They added a second double green which really pissed me off.
But as this is not a gambling thread but an NBA one. Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. Everyone else is subpar and don't say the Clippers will challenge or the Bucks. 2 against them at best in my expert opinion, lol. Always beware of greed.

Wouldn't the new season start like next month? I'm failing to understand the point of them playing right now.

The playoffs start Aug ~17 -- with the finals being in mid to late Sept I believe. The next season won't start until Decemberish, IIRC

But normally the season starts in October, right?
Just accept that we lost a year and wait for that.
