At least we're getting closer. 3 days away.

I think I found my bet for the Finals.  Celts are getting + money at -1.5 games.

So this means you are betting Celtics in 5 or less games?  Or does this mean 6 or less games?

Any update on Porzingus?? Mine bet is if he doesn’t play first 2 games, he’s not playing at all

Been seeing a lot of Laker Nation on social media forming alliances with the Dallas Mavericks nation, even turning the Mavs logo into purple/gold lol. I don't recall that much hate coming from the Celtics when it was Heat/Lakers back in 2020 lol.

Seems the Laker and Heat fan bases hate the Celtics the most. Heat fans might be the worst in the league.

Odds at a glance:
Dallas Mavericks to Win:           +184
Boston Celtics to Win:            -220
Dallas Mavericks in 4 Games: +2,300
Boston Celtics in 4 Games:       +900
Dallas Mavericks in 5 Games: +1,300
Boston Celtics in 5 Games:   +320
Dallas Mavericks in 6 Games:   +500
Boston Celtics in 6 Games:       +460
Dallas Mavericks in 7 Games:   +750
Boston Celtics in 7 Games:   +330

This is what I found on one site.  The Favorite bet is BOS to win out right, but you don't win much with that bet.  The next shortest odds bets are BOS in 5 and BOS in 7.

 I did a little cross sport future parlay last week.

Both Celtics & Oilers to win titles.  +372.  I'm sure its dropped since EDM won last night.

The Boston in 6 odds is very tantalizing, paired with the Oilers winning

pair it with Tatum as Finals MVP if they let you (can't always parlay those type of bets)

6 or less.  They need to win the series by 2 or more games.  Basically any winning result that isn't a 7 game series.

I'll see if I can, but yeah that would be my FMVP pick as well.

I won't risk jinx'ing it by offering an opinion, but I can say I hope you win that bet.

Who said he isn’t playing first 2 games?

[Moranis]

Tatum winning Finals MVP is much better odds than the Celtics winning.  And yes I realize Brown just won ECF MVP, but he did so when Tatum averaged more points, more rebounds, and more assists.  I just don't see that happening again. If Bsoton wins, Tatum will be Finals MVP. Same with Luka if Mavs win (he has only slightly better odds than the Mavs though making that not as good of value).

How  have we made it through a full season and to the NBA championship round and people are still spelling KRISTAPS PORZINGIS wrong? I left out the diacritics because I don’t expect people to go the extra step to be 100% correct, but can we at least try to respect a key member of the team enough to spell his name correctly?

And while I am at it: PAYTON PRITCHARD. Peyton is a place.
