NBA Emirates Cup Discussion Thread: Group Play Round 4
525 sats \ 59 comments \ @Undisciplined 23 Nov 2024 Stacker_Sports
More exciting basketball and this time we can live bet one of the matches.
Predyx has a prediction market for the Sixers/Nets game. One of you maniacs picked the Nets. Good luck!
I would have been excited about that Mavs/Nuggets game later, but I don't know if Jokic is even playing and Luka definitely isn't. That probably leaves Bucks/Pacers as the game of the night.

On chauffeur duty driving my daughter to and from rock climbing. So won't be able to catch the games until I get home later tonight.

We'll just have to make fun of Embiid on our own.

Didn't expect Bulls to kick the Hawks' ass like that. I thought the game would be closer, that's why I didn't pick the Bulls.

@supercyclone nailed this pick. I thought it was a mistake.

You east coast guys still awake? Just got back, catching the end of the Nuggets Mavs game. Looks like a close one.

I went to bed. It was looking like a blowout at the time.

Denver's court should come with a warning label.
How is the pool looking? Any eliminations?

Catching the last bits of the Nuggies Mavs game now. Saw how Joker single handedly helped them get the lead. Close game and fun to watch.

Joker was hot at that missed call.

Yes, looked like he was going to eat the ref alive. I was hoping to see that intentional miss and a Jokic rebound + put back, but Murray ruined it.

@gnilma and I were talking about how brutal the yellow courts are this year. They need to rein in the color pallet for future tournaments.

I don't mind yellow but tone it down a bit.

I beg to differ. I really mind the yellow.

Unfortunately, my game options until the Warriors vs Pelicans starts are Nets vs 76ers and Celtics vs Wizards. So, I can watch two teams I don't want to watch or watch the Celtics bludgeon the Wizards on a disturbingly bright court.

Bad news for @Carresan, it looks like Embiid is taking the night off. The 76ers might actually be competitive.

True, I knew that it was going to be a risky pick. No problems, ready to rebuy when you ask for it!

If it makes you feel any better, @grayruby might have lost more money than you betting on the Nets.

Haha, not happy for others misfortunes. At least I am glad that someone else was betting for Nets.

That should give you some Embiid ammo for later.

I mean the fact that the team is way better without a former MVP is pretty wild. I think that's discussion worthy. KAT corner may be on hiatus for awhile.

Looks like that heart to heart his teammates had with him really sunk in. Haha.

I put some more money on the 76ers, when I saw he was out. Ewing Theory for the win!

I need Pascal 15+ Lillard 15+ Giannis 20+ in the Pacers vs Bucks game.
Warriors vs Pelicans about to start. I actually don't mind the Pelicans court.

Just got home and turned on the Pacer Bucks game. Looks like you already hit your parlay. Congrats on the win!

Yes. It has been a good week for me betting. But not really on predyx. I keep losing sats there.

Some of the early games were surprisingly close.

I'm looking at the scores of the games. The Warriors Pels game seem unreasonably close. Still under a minute left, maybe I should tune-in to catch the final minute.

Damn, I have to drive my wife to deliver some stuff. Chauffer duty always seem to call on NBA Cup nights. Have fun watching guys, I'll try to join back in when I can. Hopefully I'll still have some live basketball left to watch by then.
Happy to see Giannis on monster mode again.

The Wizards are up on the Celtics, almost to halftime.

Celtics are probably blinded by that stupid court.

Predyx definitely not ready for live betting. Keep trying to buy and sell shares and just get please wait.

That's a pretty nice parlay. I guess the concern is that Giannis shuts down Siakam.

I bought some shares on the Nets since you were doubting their ability to beat the 30th ranked team in the league.
