That was weird. I said it in my last blog that this has been the weirdest playoffs I can recall. Game five was even stranger. The KD injury. The Kawhai takeover. The Nick Nurse timeout. The Splash Brothers hitting those threes. The Dray turnover. The Boogie bungles. Most of that occurred in the final five minutes of the game. All amazing, memorable and very strange. The Warriors last three possessions, offensive goal tending, over, and back turnover, offensive foul. They won.
To say the Warriors comeback cost me money would be correct. The good news is we get to bet the Raptors in game six. I will be taking them. I had the Raptors are different spreads last night, -1, Pick, +1. I had live bet the Raptors at +150 and +250 during the game. Everything was in place, up six with three minutes left and had the ball. The Warriors were reeling and it felt like about to crumble. Time out Raptors.
WAIT WHAT?!
The Crowd was on fire, the Warriors looked done, Kawhai was killing them and Nick Nurse called timeout. Running 24 seconds off and throwing the ball at the rim would have been better. The crowd got quiet and the Raptors got tight. You already know what happened next. No analytics in the world can quantify the momentum and energy of that moment. Nurse should have let it all play out and trust his veteran team as he had done the entire playoffs. If the Raptors lose this series somehow that will be the moment of what if we all look back on. Nevertheless, for now, on to game six.
The next golf major start this week and I threw down some small wagers on people who I hope can hit it big. As long as one of these three makes the top 20, I do not lose much at all. I am betting three people to make the top 20 and win outright. I have listed their top 20 odds below too!
