And I was 5 points from winning $107,000 on one of my $25 bets.  That was a wild night.

I could've cashed out early and got $10K, but I wanted to see what it felt like to be in the running to get the $100K

 

I'll lose the $1,700 tonight though.

I had Hawks, Grizzlies, and Mavs all big.  But instead of taking the Nuggets, I took the under 221.5 in that game vs the Knicks

Bad move. Knicks decided to play no defense tonight.  Gave up 83 poits in the half to the Nuggets, and they have 143 total at halftime.

So it's no way they cover that under 221.5, unless Jokie sprains a thumb and is out for the rest of the game.

Nobody was complaining about it but they need more consistency.

I complained about them giving up Orebs all throughout the game thread.....about 6 posts.

Miserable? Im playing with my dogs.. lol

You called me a homer and you the one over here talking about losing the 4th quarter with our third string in the game after we were up 30.

How is that contributing to an insightful game thread? Why were you upset about losing the 4th quarter? 

Is this analysis supposed to make us smarter basket ball fans? 

What was the point?

We need a green font or something for joking/sarcasm.

Where do you play?

Never sports gambled but Im retired with alot of  time on my hands.. lol

Might as well try to win some $

Sounds like fun.....

 

BetMGM . . . since sports betting is legal in Tennessee.  I may also start playing at FanDuel.

The one thing gambling does is make you really follow these games.  The NBA is easy to pick outright winners, but hard to pick them by the spread.

Everybody is up in arms about it but most of us wants to keep everybody together but that does not work in concept (Braves can vouch for that).  I think I will do a longer post about it after the deadline.

Speaking of Testy....did anyone think the team wasn't as 'happy' tonight?  usually when we are up big, they are yucking it up, lots of high five etc...they seemed a little subdued tonight.  I think the Trade deadline is weighing heavy on them.

Is that realistic? Third string vs third string you may lose the quarter.  Generally teams up 30 through three no matter who plays looses the 4th quarter.

I just want any trade we make to make sense from a player and cap management perspective....and I'm good with whatevs.

Well my apologies if that was the case. 

I get triggered when I see complaints about things that are not realistic.

I just set my expectations in that manner.
