1. Golden State ML
(YTD 56-57-1 Ats) 1 game pending
Here we go... Are the NBA Playoffs going to be without LeBron, Luka and Steph Curry I mean almost everybody when the playoffs started Thought it was going to be Lakers versus Golden State second round. Super high television ratings. Well it could be the total opposite Minnesota versus Houston but I don't think the story's going to end like that.
Golden State is 16-8-1 Ats with Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Brandin Podziemski in the lineup. ( I'm not counting the game on March 6 against Brooklyn where Brandin played one minute then got injured. Or the game on March 20 against Toronto when Curry got injured in the second Half or Game 2 of the playoffs against Houston where Butler got injured in the first half)
Some of y'all want to know exactly what games Golden State Big 4 have played in:
1. From February 8 through February 27 Golden State BIG 4 played 8 games together....they went 7-1 Ats.
2. March 1 Jimmy Butler didn't play.
3. March 3rd and 4th BIG 4 played... Golden State went 2-0 Ats.
4. March 6 Bradin Podziemski got injured and played 1 minute... This game doesn't count. Podziemski was out from March 6 thru March 17...March 18 Curry didn't play.
At this point Golden State was 9-1 Ats with The Big 4 in the lineup. Let's continue...
5. Curry comes back March 20th but gets injured against Toronto so that game doesn't count... He would also miss the next two games after that.
6. BIG 4 is back together from March 28 through April 13...they went 6-3-1 Ats. That's 15-4-1 Ats at the end of the regular season.
Playoffs including play in game Big 4 is 1-4 Ats. Jimmy Butler didn't play in Game 3 only played 8 minutes in Game 2... Both of those games don't count...
That's how we get 16-8-1 Ats...we take 15-4-1 Ats at The end of the regular season and add that to the horrible 1-4 Ats playoff/ playin Record. Hopefully that explains it to everybody.
I truly believe we're going to get an awesome game tonight.
Final score 102-99.
Let's have a winning evening everybody.
