Boston Celtics look favourite according to the odds now. However I don't trust Jayson Tatum in the playoffs much. He can really play very badly from time to time. I see Dallas Mavericks as the favourite in the final series in the lead of Doncic and Irving.
When Irving joined last year I really had doubts about whether he would be a coherent duo with Doncic. You know how much Irving likes to play individually too. But they have made a great duo.
Well, no surprise because many expected the Celtics to win it all this season hence, the odds are favoring them.
On Stake, the odds-on Celtics to win in Game 1 is 1.40 while the Mavericks has 3.05. For me, it is very attractive especially if you are a Mavericks fan.
Historically speaking, if the winner of Game 1 is the home team, they win the whole series around 77%-80% of the time. Now if the road team wins in Game 1, historically speaking, there's a 55% chance of them winning the whole series. It's quite high TBH, so this Game 1 is a good start to build their momentum all throughout the series. Just for context and I just saw it on Facebook. Irving is 0-10 ever since stomping on the infamous "Lucky" logo on Boston. Anybody who remembers that incident back when he's still a net?
The Pelicans deferring taking the Los Angeles Lakers first round draft pick to next year from the Anthony Davis trade in order to try and bait the Lakers into drafting Bronny in the first round is pretty funny. It takes away any excuse the Lakers might have had for not drafting him to keep LeBron happy. Sabotage level petty.
If that happens, it means Le-GM will stay as a Laker then... or not
I watched a video on YouTube referring Laker fans who hate Lebron because of how manipulative he is. I mean it's true because he's the main reason why the 2020 Laker roster got separated only just because they got swept by the Suns in first round. The question now is, will the Lakers really pursue Le-GM, or they will move on from him and will let him go.
