You are making a factual statement there, the Suns are likely to beat a Lakers team if AD and LBJ are struggling.

I assume you mean 4-2 or better right. Wouldn't be my kind of bet but I wouldn't say it's unlikely. In fact the Vegas spread for the series is Lakers -1.5..

Really good start to the playoffs last night. Performance of the night was Lillard for me, Luka was brilliant also.

It never ceases to amaze me how easy Durant puts up points. Was watching him last night without paying much attention to the box score and figured he was having a terrible game by his standard. Look after the game and he is 34/10 or something similar.

Ok, I don’t think, in my opinion that the Suns are going to eliminate the Lakers. I don’t think they have an answer for AD, if fit. I think while the first half of the GSW game showed how weak they can be, the second half showed how they can ramp up.

Yes I think Boston get swept. Perhaps a gentleman’s sweep at which stage my bet is dead anyway, but that’s why I took almost 7/1, it’s not a sure thing. I shouldn’t have been factual.

Lakers / Suns is a really difficult series to analyse because we don’t know how healthy Davis and LeBron are (Schroeder coming back from covid too, which may affect him).

If they get past the Suns we’ll have more info to go in for the conference semis.

I'd nearly wait and hope Lakers win game 1 and then lump on the Suns to win the series. I just can't see LeBron not tweeking something again with so many intense games in quick succession.

I read Schroeder didn’t actually have Covid but was out because he was a close contact. There’s a huge difference physically if he had v hadn’t.

Chris Herring has joined the Open Floor as co-host (though technically intrigued as “a co-host”). He’s a very good analyst and writer, but might be a bit too serious or nerdy for some. He’s very different to Sharp, Golliver, or Pina for example.

Tobias Harris continuing to look a different player under Doc. That contract might end up being alright in time to come.

Seems like CP3 is done.

Brenty

Only just saw on PP free €5 bet builder on any 1st round game. Any ideas?

LuckyLloyd

Getting a glimpse into LeBron’s future if he hangs on another few years. Injury clearly limiting his athleticism here, so he’s just looking for jump shots and trying to take up good positions on defense.

Suns have this series, maybe in 5.

Have to agree, looks well off the pace although he looks in prime form compared to Davis who has been tragic.

CP3 is clearly hurt but his presence on the court is invaluable.

Nothing I didn’t expect there. Lakers still rusty. Suns win this.

Corvo

Also, what pictures of Frank Vogel does Andre Drummond have? Must be damaging

ButtersSuki

Mark Jackson please STFU.

LuckyLloyd

Davis with a nothing performance

Reckon the Lakers will pack it in here. They aren’t going to get healthy in two days so there’s not much to be looking forward to.

I absolutely hate his constant "If I'm ____" comments.

Ffs LeBron again with the over-acting.

It’s the stating the complete obvious too, he’s almost as bad as Magic.

A beaut right this second, "If I'm Frank Vogel I'm challenging this call".

ButtersSuki

As long as he doesn’t say “‘Mama....there goes that man”....

Corvo

Was it him for the GSW game the other night? He drove me mental 😂

Coneygree

A damn shame Booker has had to wait until now to play in the playoffs.

LuckyLloyd

Davis just horrendous
Like hilariously inept

More Anthony Bennett than Davis tonight for sure.

Corvo

He dropped 42 on them not too long ago. I’ve faith in him.

This is nothing to do with LeBron and AD’s ability. They’re both injured.

ButtersSuki

Good win for Phoenix. I predicted them to win this series and I haven’t seen anything to change my mind tonight - assuming of course Chris Paul isn’t injured.

GoldFour4

Happy with that for Phoenix. They’re clearly a fairly well rounded team with Booker being a star. CP3 should be fine with the days rest you’d imagine which will make it more difficult for the lakers to double team Booker successfully.

LeBron gets off with it but AD doesn’t in my opinion. Needs to be better

Carcharodon

AD is one soft ass ...., and LeBron again with antics in my opinion. Please let them get eliminated
