Thought I would create a thread for the NBA 1st round previews, tips, discussion for all matches. Will try to follow a few games here and there starting this week.
Eastern Conference Cleveland V Indiana Milwaukee V Toronto Atlanta V Washington Chicago V Boston
Western Conference Memphis V San Antonio Utah V LA Clippers Portland V Golden State Oklahoma City v Houston
NBA OUTRIGHTS Golden State 1.56 Cleveland 5.70 San Antonio 12 Toronto 40 Houston 46 LA Clippers 65 Washington 85 Utah 130 OKC 210 Milwaukee 230 Atlanta 230 Portland 340 Indiana 410 Chicago 410 Memphis 570
I don't know about you guys Im not sold on Cleveland winning the Eastern Conference side.
I think the odds on GSW are a bit short but that said, Cleveland have not looked convincing to me. Yes there is "playoff Le Bron" but even that does not compensate for how the rest of the team have been playing. I think Cleveland deliberately tanked to get 2nd spot to avoid Bulls in 1st round. They should get past pacers but from there I am not so sure. Time will tell.

Can't really go past the Warriors though in the other side, cannot see anyone beating them in a best of 7. Spurs Grizzlies may be interesting whilst Rockets should beat Thunder and Clippers for me just over Jazz. My roughy if you could call it that is the Bucks to beat the Raptors in 7 :)

Raptors at odds against seems worth a pop: better team after traditional slow start in play-offs versus best player in series, Giannis.
Cavs at slightly better than 4/5 might look ridiculous if Cleveland's big three play anywhere near up to snuff.
Outright, in the East, Washington nicely placed for decent run and might give the Cavs a game if Wall continues to step up.

That Spurs Grizzlies series is starting to shape up to be interesting. A few sweaty Spurs fans about now I feel. Yeah the Bucks got overawed. Whoever wins this series may just pose the Cavs a few problems. Cavs for me have not played well, Indiana was poor in regular season.

Utah Jazz level the series 2-2 with the LA Clippers. Got to give credit to the Jazz , I watched the 2nd half of that game 4 and they did it without their best player, Hayward. I fancy Utah to turn them over in LA and win the series now.

With the series 2-2. Market to win 1st round series:
Utah Jazz 1.98 v 1.96 LA Clippers
With Hayward back and Griffin still out for the rest of the series, I do think Utah could even wrap up back on their home court in Game 6.

The winner of this series though, will be lucky to pinch 1 game against Golden State. Pretty the Warriors to easily account for either of these sides 4-0 or 4-1.

Toronto v Milwaukee (which is currently tied at 2-2)
Toronto 1.45 v 3.20 Milwaukee
I think the experience of the Raptors will hold them steady here.
I'll be following game 5 tomorrow between Toronto v Milwaukee (which is currently tied at 2-2)Toronto 1.45 v 3.20 MilwaukeeI think the experience of the Raptors will hold them steady here.
