Sports and Betting: First Casualties of the NBA Playoffs

So far so good. That has been the perfect description for the 2013 NBA Playoffs. There are some very competitive series between teams that really roughed it up on the floor. Betting for sports is more exciting when you have matchups like the Memphis Grizzlies against Los Angeles Clippers.

However, in terms of the competitive nature that is in line with sports and betting, there are some teams with very unexciting runs that makes those who are into betting for sports kind of glad that their seasons are over.

Anyone who’s into sports and betting already knows about the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers being swept out of the playoffs by the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, respectively.

Milwaukee Bucks is the First Team Out

Everybody knows it. Even their fans know that the Bucks team is the least interesting NBA club to watch in the 2013 playoffs. A team that has made the playoffs despite a losing record, and having a style of play that is deserving of it, it’s really not a surprise why more people are excited about the Bucks getting knocked off earliest in the playoffs.

The team is inconsistent and even against worse opponents, you can still bet on the team to mess it all up and end up losing. That is why the series against the Heat was no surprise. If you think that they played competitively in some parts of the game, what you saw was just an illusion. If you look at how the ball moves and the plays they make on both ends of the floor, you’d be confused on what they are exactly trying to do.

Los Angeles Lakes Follows with a Disappointing Performance

Another team with an ugly season finally coming to a close is the Los Angeles Lakers team that seemed to have garnered the worst of luck this year. Riddled with injuries to start the early season, the team always had a key player on the team bothered by injuries. Dwight Howard was still recovering when the team signed him and Steve Nash was blindsided by a broken leg that took him out for a long period of time and when he did return, he was far from being a hundred percent. Then Kobe Bryant got injured just when the team was making improvements. To punctuate it all, the three guards of the team are all out of the fourth and last game of the series against the Spurs.

The Hollywood team was terminal and the Spurs did sports and betting a favor by finishing off the Lakers quickly.
