Donezo.

Clippers in 5.
Ah... Music to my ears. You and Barkley.

Suns in 6.
Did Barkley also call Clips in 5?

Bad match up to start with. Without CP3? Impossible.
Keep 'em coming, Worm!
Really Work? Jeesh. Forever the optimist. I mean, they don't have Kawhi Leonard and you still want to call it impossible if CP3 is out?
Barkley has made his bookie a lot of money. When he calls anything you can almost always go the other way and be right.

I talked to Richard Dreyfus about the series, and he told me Wormie was one of his filters..."Who do you like in the WCFs?" Answer...response..."LOSER"

You mentioned that she was a big time gymnast when we met like...20 years ago? I can see why she was unhappy, I was about two tiers down from the national team in a club sport about two years ago and the people who were more or less pros just had much better connections, etc.

How are you feeling today?
I am feeling a lot better than I thought I would at this stage of the game. They did a new nerve blocker thing at my foot long scar site they said similar to what they use on pregnant women. I have felt zero pain from the scar. Pretty amazing the things they do nowadays.
Fantastic to hear

Latest odds.

Championship:
 +170 (35.1%) Bucks
 +275 (25.2%) Suns
 +425 (18.0%) Clippers
 +425 (18.0%) 76ers
+2500 ( 3.6%) Hawks

EC Championship:
 -200 (63.0%) Bucks
 +200 (31.5%) 76ers
+1600 ( 5.6%) Hawks

WC Championship:
 -200 (63.9%) Suns
 +165 (36.1%) Clippers

WCF Game 1:
 -175 (60.9%) Suns
 +145 (39.1%) Clippers
Interesting that the betting markets give us a much better chance in the WCF than in the Finals. I actually feel more comfortable about the Finals, due to the CP3 situation.

What excuse can they possibly have for favoring the Bucks over the Suns? We had the better record, we have homecourt advantage, and we beat them 2-0 in the regular season. I don't get it.

Does it matter?
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Based on the betting market and a lot of people saw the Nets and bucks series as the real finals

People don't understand that the betting lines aren't based on the best teams but on who's betting on them. Their goal is to get as close to an equal amount on both sides as possible.

But why are more people betting on the Bucks? They must be thinking Chris Paul won't be 100% after Covid.

I mean the bucks are really good and they have the best remaining basketball player left. I don’t think we should be obvious favorites over them. Ya we beat them twice, but once without Jrue and the other at the buzzer thanks to some free throws.

Who do you think wins in a hypothetical finals match up? Suns or bucks?
