That’s more then twice as much as the next closest series .

You have to bet $2500 to win $100

I guess this would be the biggest upset in NBA playoff history

I think the biggest upset will always be the first, 1994 when the 8 seed Nuggets beat the 1 seed SuperSonics. 8 seeds winning was pretty much inconceivable back then.

is that the only time it happened? We’re 10 games below .500 and the Suns had the NBAs best record by almost 10 games. If we win the series it’d have to be the biggest upset in nba playoff history.

We have no shot at beating them


Unless Zion returns *key dramatic Batman music

The good news is that this team won’t be intimated - they’ve also basically been in playoff mode for the last 3 weeks. The Suns have been locked into the #1 seed for months.

If we want to have any smidgen of chance, Game 1 is our best shot to push the series to 5/6 games.

It’s happened 4 or 5 times iirc. I remember Golden State beating Dallas convincingly about 15 years ago.

No. The Warriors upset one of the Dirk Mavs teams in the mid 2000s, which was a 7 game series by then, but that Mavs team was a weak 1 seed and the Warriors just got blazing hot at home. I think the Knicks also did it in the lockout season as well.

To me, this would be the biggest upset because not only did we make it in with a below .500 record going through the play-in, but we’d also have to do it in a 7 game series instead of 5 like the Nugs and Knicks.

If everything stays the same, I don’t think we have a shot. But if I told you CP3 would miss a couple games with an injury and Zion returns game 3, would it really be that crazy if we pulled it off? Both of those things are not inconceivable.

I firmly believe pelicans have been a top 3 team in the western conference after the all star break behind the suns and grizzlies

Wow I’d take the Pels at +2500. They’ve been as hot as any team since February. That seems like a bad oddsmaker. Even if they’re not likely to win, that number is too good to not throw some money at

Someone remind me what the Pels Record is with CJ and BI both playing. I'll hang up and listen.

The Pels are over 0.500 since the 1-12 start. They added CJ after all of that and have had growth with Herb, Trey, and Jose. Then if Zion potentially came back coming off the bench the Pels would be one of the scarier teams. The Pels record does not tell the story of how much of a playoff threat they are.

We have the worst playoff record for a western conference team in over 25 years lol. Pretty sure this would be the biggest upset ever in nba history.

Also Brandon Ingram looks driven right now. He has thrown down some thunderous two handed dunks lately going to the basket. He just looks to be playing with a ton of drive and emotion lately.

Unfortunately it don’t work like that .
There is a huge spread gap between taking the fav and the dog .

Suns are -2500 but the pelicans are only +1000

So a 100 bet only plays $1000 on the pelicans .

Never wish an injury on anybody but, wonder what a KEY turned ankle would do to those odds? CP3 is SO important to that team.
