Any ref with the stones to toss Draymond Green from a game for his antics rather than, like most refs, giving him extra leeway not afforded to others because “that’s just the way he is” gets a pass from me. Dude treats refs like they’re subhuman.

I had 150 in bonus funds and decided to bet it all on the bet below (todays' 76ers @ Heat game):
'Bam Adebayo, 20 pts or more" x "PJ Tucker, 7 or more rebounds" x "Tyler Herro, 3 or more three-pointers" @ 13/1^^^
^^^: This is because I used "bonus funds", if I used "real money" I would have received 14/1***.
***: Boosted Odds (original / un-boosted odds were 10/1)
Lastly, after a quick look at the "retail site odds", I would estimate that the chance is somewhere around 8% (assuming no "+ or -" correlation).

Yesterday, the Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 101-98 in their playoff game by taking the lead — and scoring their final 11 points — on free throws.
My exhaustive 10 seconds of searching did not find an answer to my question: What is the NBA record for consecutive points scored on free throws to end a game?

Don't have an opinion*** on which teams will win tonight, but I had the "Multi-bet" below:
1000 @ $2.89^^^ (+189) on "Celtics x Warriors" (both must win)
***: Just using the current "pinnacle odds" as a guide.
^^^: "Boosted odds" promo (they gave me the equivalent of $1.70 per team).
Note: I know RW III is out for the Celtics.

wow - the Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 39 last night in Memphis - they were up by 55 in the 3rd quarter
not many would have guessed that could happen

Would be great if 76ers can come back and win (by 7 or less) because:
a) I have a teaser going with the Heat @ +7.5 and
b) I have an "odds boost all up", on the 76ers and Suns, that I have converted to a "conditional Suns single*** "
***: I got $3450 @ +257 on the "odds boost", but I "over-betted" on purpose so that I can fully hedge by backing the Heat in the 1st leg (I will partially hedge the 2nd leg, so that my liability is less than $1,000^^^).
^^^: If 76ers win the 1st leg, it will then be the equivalent of $6,450 @ -110 on the Suns, before any planned hedging on the Mavericks (to reduce the liability to about $1000).
----
TLDR:
Looks like Heat are going to win###, so after all that work, I will probably "break-even".
###: Heat-76ers are 68-52, at the time of this post.

Mavs / Suns is looking a bit like a "good team vs average team - college game### " (I stopped watching partway through the 2nd quarter^^^).
###: I know at least one Suns player was way below expectations, probably through "injury / and or tiredness", according to the commentators.
^^^: Just had a look, and the score was 92-50 at the start of the final quarter.
Had $700 @ +235 on the Mavs***, because I was looking at the odds just before the game and that looked "a bit too high compared to the prices I could see everywhere else" (+220 was the next best price, with the average price about +210, with the Books that I look at).
***: This was a "hedge" on the last leg of a three-team teaser, so unless the Suns can win by 1 (or more) then I will only win ~$140, overall (from this bet, and the related teaser bet).

yesterday, the Reds gave up no hits - as in zero - and still lost to the Pirates
it's only the 6th time since 1901 this has happened in MLB
a rookie pitcher for the Reds, Hunter Greene, struck out 9 batters and allowed no hits thru 7 innings but gave up 5 walks
