That was a great night of basketball!
The Steph-Klay reunion easily met expectations and was another reminder of just how great Steph Curry is. It also cemented the Warriors as legit contenders this season.
We also had three big upsets, with Boston, Miami, and Minnesota all losing to likely lottery teams. Boston and Miami cost @siggy47, @BlokchainB, and @supercyclone their first strike (Let me know in the comments if you want to buy-back in).
The Miami loss had to be the craziest, as no one expects Spoelstra to pull a Webber and try to call a timeout he doesn't have.
Boston's loss was quite embarrassing in it's own right, though, since all they needed to do is complete a wide open in-bounds pass. This team still seems to have some issue performing under pressure.
What were your impressions of last night's games and the Emirates Cup so far?
Prize
Still about 30k, but will be 45k if last night's losers buy back in (C'mon guys, it was just an off night. You've got this!).
I'll get the round 2 picks post up later today.
