No it is not happening. You are 100% making it up to draw action to your site. Prediction markets are not like normal books, they don't win or lose. They are more like stockbrokers and just collect a commission on each trade/bet.

One thing that concerns me for game #2. Most felt they would put Mobley on Ausar so he could roam and spy on Cade. With Allen in foul trouble all game they weren't really able to do that since Mobley had to guard Duren while Allen was out. They still handled Cade fine. I wonder if that gave them enough confidence in their ability to guard Cade without Mobley spying on him. If so, they could take Mobley off of Ausar and have him guard Harris instead. Going from Harden guarding you to a former DPOY winner guarding you is a big change. Harden guarding Ausar would likely see Thompson go crazy on the offensive glass. Harden is 5 inches smaller and can't jump like Thompson. But I doubt Thompson can do much scoring wise to hurt Cleveland, just get Detroit extra possessions.

This plus 10 of his 19 shots were 3PTAs.

Speaking of Harris. Harden was the primary defender on Harris for the most possessions last night at 27. Harris had an EFG% of 83% in those possessions. Pistons need to exploit that matchup even more in game #2.

According to Cavs fans. Find refs that don't cheat and Cleveland wins 4-1

I mean, not many teams are going to beat OKC in the playoffs. Maybe San Antonio but they are so young and inexperienced. I didn't think OKC played all that well last night either. You hold SGA to 18 points you better win. That was the first game this season he failed to score at least 20 points.

135 shots to score 171 points is brutal. You give most NBA players that many shots and they will produce. The worst NBA player is still better than 99.99% of the population. He is 12-43 from three for a scorching 27%. He has 10 assists in 8 games His TS% is 55% which is below league average. A volume chucker is not considered a good player. Like I said, Cleveland is a bad overall team and with a bad defense. His numbers should improve.

Mexico City needs to be on the NBA list. Possibly as high as #3.

This season where Detroit takes equal or more shots than their opponent, they are 49-15 for a 76.5% win rate. Taking less shots they are 20-10 66.6% win rate.

I see a lot of Cavs fans complaining about the free throw discrepancy. Cleveland attempted 80 field goals for the game. 38 of them were 3PTAs. You are not going to the line when half of your shots are 26+ feet from the basket, it's simple. Detroit took 84 field goals and only 26 3PTAs.

I mean, after Duren, Harris is the biggest reason Orlando went to 7. He was a turd sandwich for six of those seven games. One of the worst players on the court. Shot something like 18% from three the first six games. TS% of 48% the first six games. We used to clown on Stanley Johnson and Killian when they were at 55%. Props for coming through in game 7 though, that was huge. Should be easier for him this series. Cleveland is a bad defensive team and nobody of any consequence will be guarding him. Mobley is also pretty easy for him to guard since he doesn't really use his size. He was still really inefficient last night, especially from three (1-5) so hopefully he can pick it up a bit. As far as contracts go. Nobody is giving him more than $15 million a year.

We really need a downvote button.

It even impressed his brother

4 minutes for Ausar in the 4th is criminal.

He didn't score much. But that was a good all around game from Duren

These lineups. Is the extension signed yet?

Harris cooked him

Three

Cade gets Duren two consecutive dunks

Jenkins isn't good enough to play 20+ minutes in a playoff game
