Either of the 2 will not "fit" with lesser roles, lesser minutes.
Can't play both at same time.
They had to choose one.

This series is making me go into the basement and bringing back up that dead horse to beat it over and over and over. |
Imagine we had Brook, Randle, DLO, jc and Nance all back together! Oh wait, we had that and they sucked...badly....worst laker teams ever. I don’t know why this revisionist BS keeps popping up. If we could have even made the playoffs with them, they’d all still be here. |
Because we still suck?

We bet $2.00 per game during the season. I'm $125.00 ahead for the season.This will add to the coffers. |
Did he at least have odds, or was it just a straight bet? |
Straight bet.
I have the advantage on bets. The way it works, I look at the days schedules, choose the teams I think will win that day, choose all games. He looks at my choices and from those he chooses the ones he thinks I got wrong. I tried to give him the option to make the first choices, he didn't want to. He's a real friend and I wanted to be fair. He turned me down so I don't feel bad. It's not a lot of money, $2.00 season games $3.00 playoffs $25.00 Larry O'Brien. During the season we make side bets. I lost $25.00 on the Lakers. I bet they'd make the playoffs. I though I had a lock, NOT!!!🤬 Bet $10.00 on the Houston series. Dubs came through. I usually end up winning around $150.00. Most I've won was $180.00. Been at this for 5 years.
We have a $25.00 bet on now. He says the Dubs win 4 straight over the Blazers. I didn't ask for this, he offered it. I jumped on it quick, fast and in a hurry.

I'm going Milwaukee in 6. They've been the best team in the east the entire season + postseason and Giannis looks like he's on a mission.
Toronto has a great defense but Milwaukee does too and they have more fire power. |
Bucks in 7, Dubs in 5.

I agree and the players and former players all referenced it after the game.
That type of loss is tough to take, honestly the Raptors controlled the game and should have won but I give Milwaukee credit for grinding it out. Not every playoff game is an easy trek as Giannis referenced after the game, it is tough to win at this point.

Lmao hindsight is funny sometimes. This is the same guy that carried Davidson and made them relevant. And he only averaged 25ppg in college shooting 41% from 3 on 10 attempts per... 60+TS% all 3 years lol |

| Blazers really need this one. KD won't be reevaluated until after game 5. If they steal this one and protect home court they could be up 3-1 going into game 5 without Durant. Not saying it's likely, but Blazers aren't getting a better opportunity than this. Rockets didn't take advantage. Blazers may have the last chance to take advantage if Durant is back for the finals. |

I don't think KD will be playing anytime soon. It wouldn't surprise me if he's done for the season.

| As long as GS is within a reasonable number, they can easily make a push in the last 5 minutes to win this one. |

Portland sure knows how to pick them. They picked Greg O[l]den at #1 over Durant, we all know how that turned out. They’re also known for picking Sam Bowie at #2 over Michael Jordan (to be fair they got Clyde Drexler from the prior year). |

Greg Oden was a medical disappointment. He had the talent to be a force.

Same with Bowie, he was projected to be a great player and certainly looked the part when he was on the court.
Taking him over Jordan at the time was not overly criticized until later when national hindsight became 20/20
