I didn’t make any picks for game 1 and it might have cost myself at least a month’s rent. I am addicted to overs, and of course the one time I don’t place anything every player on both teams catch fire like it’s NBA jam. As a Lakers (Lebron) fan, that was the most frustrating game I’ve ever watched. I swear to God I didn’t see the Nuggets miss a single shot for 20 minutes at a time. No matter what they threw at the goal, open or contested, that ball was going in. I’m not saying NBA Rigged but it sure felt like there was some shady shit going on last night. When the most unathletic superstar of all-time in Jokic turns into Steph Curry and starts hitting step-back buzzer-beater 3s, we have a fucking problem. Let’s see if shooting those dirty Nuggets can keep up >55% from the field and >50% from 3.
Anthony Davis O25.5 Points
- I’ve bet the over on AD’s points so many times, and I regret it almost 100% of the time. He fucked me on 3 seprate bets by a combined 1.5 points. He dropped 40 last night so thay must mean we’re in for a 12 point stinker, but I’m here to place my money on the over anyway. I’m just holding onto the hope that Jokic really is a dog shit defender. Defense isn’t exactly the Nuggets calling card as a whole anyway. Jokic was fucking amazing on the offensive side but AD still walked all over the Nugs. If the Lakers want any chance in this series they need AD to keep up the ADominance.
D’Angelo Russell O13.5 Points
- Wow this is a riskkkyyyyy fucking pick. I read a story the other day that D’Angelo Russell’s major at Ohio State was Inconsistency. I’m more likely to finish off a night of boozing with Jessica Alba in my bed than DLo is to be great two games in a row. I am drinking the kool-aid after watching him jack up some shots in full uniform after his performance yesterday. That’s the kind of shit I like to see.
Michael Porter Jr U15.5 Points
- I’ve hated Michael Porter Jr. ever since I saw he was dating the love of my life, Madison Pettis, back in high school. Watching him make bullshit 3 after bullshit 3 yesterday really sent me into a dangerous headspace. He still didn’t even hit this mark in game 1 even with all that nonsense, so I’m gonna need that to hold flat. Tomorrow he’ll show the world why Madison Pettis left his dumbass.
Lakers MONEYLINE (+188) @ Denver
- Look, I don’t really know who is going to win tomorrow, but I know it’s going to be a blowout. If I was on Denver this game, I’d hammer the -5.5 because I don’t care about the spread. Both of these teams were RIDICULOUSLY hot in game 1, so it’s only right that one of them goes completely cold and we get a shit game 2. It could easily be the Lakers, and honestly probably will be, but my boiling hatred for the Nuggets right now won’t let me pick them. I really don’t want to see LA go down 0-2 because I don’t think they can come back against this team. Jokic is making me look like an absolute FOOL for preferring Embiid over him. I was fooled by his negative muscle tone and incredible lack of athletic ability. He really is the greatest YMCA-NBA player who ever lived. I sure hope the Lakers bring their gym bags and goggles.
