Recap

We almost made it through unscathed, but the Nets couldn't pull off the win over superstar-less 76ers. The Ewing Theory is very much in play with Joel Embiid.

The Warriors game came right down to the wire and was unreasonably close throughout.

The Rockets demonstrated why most of us picked them.

Easily the pick of the night was @supercyclone's Bulls. I thought he was a dead man walking with that pick, but that's why we play the games. Great pick!

The Wizards and Nuggets did their best to keep us from watching, with their horrific court designs.

Are the Bucks back on track or are the Pacers just that bad?

I'm glad I didn't take the Kings.

Prize: 50 kilosats!

I know, I was tempted to go the other way and place the bet on favourites. However considering I had the option of a rebuy, which can’t be used in play offs, I wanted to try it

Good point! I forgot my own rebuy restriction. I'll have to take some bigger swings.

It would have been better to use it later though I couldn’t. No safety net from now on!

Sometimes, you have to take a step backwards to later take two steps forward.

Other than blok’s bad beat this pool is running much more smoothly in terms of expected outcomes than the NFL pool did.

And much more smoothly than last year.

I'm starting to worry about the picks being too good.

Are the Bucks back on track or are the Pacers just that bad?

I think it's both.

Giannis is Giannis, never missed a beat, but Dame finally playing better, and the supporting casts finally chipping in. Both Trent Jr. and Portis Jr. had a great game scoring in the high teens. Hopefully this trend holds. I love seeing the east be more competitive.

In terms of Pacers being bad, I think Siakam is playing at expected levels, and Mathurin is probably performing above expectations. But for the Pacers to be competitive, Haliburton needs to be better. He needs to get back to last season's numbers or better, but it seems he's currently in a slump. Hopefully it's temporary.
