Nick's pie is interesting when you think about it in East vs West Terms. He believes a Western conference team has a 59% chance to win the Finals, whereas Boston only has a 30% chance, dominating the East's 41% chance of taking the LOB. I'm afraid I have to disagree with some aspects of how the west is split, but the East and its chance to win the finals, as well as Boston's 30% is perfect.

I agree, boston had a east heavy schedule and smoked everyone, so they should have no problem to the finals. And for the west, everyone is so good that whoever makes the finals, if anyone besides boston makes finals they'll get smoked too. Boston has a way better record but the best teams in the west are absolutely stacked. Also i would probably flip denver/dallas on his pie maybe evn add some points in for denver 😅

The Nuggets disrespect is atrocious. Nick said Jokic was like the seventh best player in the league and the worst MVP since Dave Cowens. He admitted he was wrong. He picked the Lakers AND Heat to beat the Nuggets last year. He was proven wrong. Does he believe this, or is this for TV? The teams in the first two rounds of their bracket (LAL, PHX, MIN) are all teams they beat handily last season.

Cherry picking the 3pt percentage in the clutch for the Jays feels odd, especially when Brown specifically has made a hard effort to go to the rack when he sees the opportunity. The team as a whole is 6th in the league in clutch time, I think that's still pretty darn good.

Okc 8% is actually disgusting how does a team that’s never been to the playoffs with this specific roster not the 2020 team with Chris Paul and shai and Dort there were alot of other players that were on that team that aren’t there anymore have more of a slice than the clippers or suns?

There needs to be an actual pie next time. Different flavors. I'd be happy with pizza with different toppings.
Nick, this is a gross tasting pie. Nobody wants to hear it but Boston is absolutely over hyped until they actually do it.
The Lakers having anything higher than 5% is wild. The Mavs and Celtics should share 15% and the Nuggets should have 35%. They absolutely own the Lakers so they should sweep them. They likely play the Suns and beat them in 4-5 games as well. The biggest nightmare for the Nuggets in the WCF would be Luka and the Mavs which im sure the Nuggets win in 6. The Celtics, and Bucks both would have to have the best series of their lives as teams to beat the Nuggets and Jokic in the finals.
