I think it should be between Siakam and Allen, no disrespect to Brown.
Can't really go wrong with either guy, but Allen has played 7 more games than Siakam and Cleveland is 3 games ahead of Toronto in the East. My vote would go to Allen.

Ya I just threw brown on there because I saw people mentioning him. Jrue Holiday and Miles Bridges too. I lean Pascal, but I have no problem with it being Allen.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 12:27 pmI think it should be between Siakam and Allen, no disrespect to Brown.

Their bubble title probably didn't have a parade. I'd look it up by I think my AD Block prevents that Google search.

Typical Bron though, looking to find a way to be part of the Convo
Not as if he likes attention or anything

How are the Lakers even with the Grizzlies? Do people not realize the Nets just had an 11-game losing streak?

Re: Around the League Week 17 (2/7 - 2/13)
The thing to always remember with future odds (and all odds in general) is the purpose is for the bookmaker to make money.
I don't think the Lakers can win the title with the team they have right now, but casual NBA fans just know LeBron, AD, and Westbrook. There are a whole lot of casual NBA fans for whom +2000 might look great to, so why should the bookmaker set their line closer to reality and unnecessarily increase their risk? The same thing can be said for a lot of teams with "superstar" players, and why the Knicks aren't down there with the Wizards.

Exactly this. Book odds aren't what is likeliest to happen; they are what people are likeliest to bet on happening.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 6:57 amThe thing to always remember with future odds (and all odds in general) is the purpose is for the bookmaker to make money.

How does Boston beat Philadelphia by 48 on the road and then turn around and lose to Detroit at home?

X-rays were negative on his ankle, but he'd definitely going to miss some time. Does Mikal get into the All-Star game if both AD and Paul are out?
