Message: [QUOTE="john_entony, post: 7315383, member: 1020707"] NBA Philadelphia 76ers @ New York Knicks: [B]Philadelphia 76ers (+ 8.5) /// 1.70 Last bet won.[/B] Even though Donovan Mitchell played terribly again, the rest of the team performed incredibly well. Yes, especially Jarrett Allen! A monster game from Cleveland’s center! He completely dominated in the paint, both on defense (11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 3 blocks) and on offense (22 points in 33 minutes and 8 rebounds). But for me, it’s clear that the Pistons will be the favorites in the 2nd round in the series between Cleveland and Detroit. Toronto had too many problems, but Cleveland suffered for so long. My betting score is MLB 210-196 in favor of successful, NBA 218-234 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 8-12 in favor of unsuccessful. [B]New bet: [/B]Philadelphia 76ers on the road will not lose to New York Knicks by more than 8 points in the 1st game of the series. I waited until the late evening to see if Joel Embiid would play. And, it looks like he will. Without a doubt, if Joel Embiid weren’t playing, we’d see a repeat of what happened with Atlanta, which had no one to defend the paint from the 4th to 6th games of the series. Yes, of course, I analyzed every game where Philadelphia played with Joel Embiid over the past 6 seasons (there were 11 such games). And yes, Philadelphia did not lose by more than 8 points in 7 of them. But we’re talking about the regular season here. As for the Playoff games, Philadelphia and New York played against each other in a 6-game series in the 1st round of the 2023/2024 season. And the Knicks couldn’t win any game by more than 7 points. Joel Embiid played in all 6 games of that series. Yes, we could talk a long time about the fact that Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges weren’t on the Knicks’ roster back then (though Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein played for New York in that series), but Philadelphia also didn’t have players like Paul George and VJ Edgecombe, who, in my opinion, are much more effective than 38-year-old Kyle Lowry and Tobias Harris. Bet? Sure! :cool:;) [/QUOTE]
