Robert Horry is The Man.

Again. Unbelievable.

Talk about Clark Kent ! The guy folds up his walker, tucks it away in his locker then goes out and tears out the heart of his opponent. Just one of a myriad of mistakes made by Mitch- Er- Kobe the GM of the Lakers.

fooledagain1, you are amazing, you laid off on game 3, and the way you bet the spurs, you would have lost, put some units up on game 4, lost your ass, but put up more units on game 5, and came out a winner. nice play.

Thank You, Big Shot Bob !!!!!!!! Spurs should of won in regulation, geez, can`t take many more games like that, will die a young death. Not likely Det can win back to back games in SA, Spurs just to good at home.

Thanks Bullit, I needed that win for my next trip.

NBA Finals, game 6 - Will pass on tonights game, could see either team winning, if Det wins obviously I will like the Spurs in game 7.

Fooledagain

Can you lend me your crystal ball for a few weeks ??

Most of the "experts " gave Detroit little or no chance in this game. I'm impressed once again.

LET'S GO SPURS, LET'S GO SPURS!!! Since I'm pulling for them, it's probably their kiss of death (a la St. Louis Cardinals)...

I WANT THE SPURS TO WIN, but if they don't I won't be majorly pissed, because even though I don't like the Pistons, it's hard to find anything or anybody on their team to hate. They play good, tough professional basketball, no assholes, no real primadonnas, just good blue collar ball. If they win, good for them. But still pulling for the Spurs as an ex San Antonio resident...

NBA Finals game 7 - Spurs should win the title tonight, will pass on the game but side with Spurs covering the spread, will cash a nice futures bet if Spurs win so wouldn`t make any sense to lay points when all I need is a win for a nice score.


Futures Bet still alive -
Spurs to win the title (+185) - 8 units to win 14.8 units

Possible 2cd half bet if Spurs trail at halftime

Wow! What a great game! Anybody game with 8 minutes left in game 7! It does not get much better than this! Go Spurs!!

basketball has become such a lame sport I opted to watch the E special on Linsey Lohan ...

Football, baseball, and hockey, and funny football (soccer)... then voooshhh off the map. You heard it here.

YES SIR, SPURS DO IT !!!!!! Will have to tip my hat to Det, that team is one tough out. They played much better throughout the postseason then I thought they would.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words throughout the playoffs, I`ll be back again next playoff season and try and make it 3 consecutive winning years.

Congrats

I should have bet and blindly followed your pics as I could have used even 5% of your winnings right now.

I look forward to footbal season.

DM

You mean the " no hands " football ? Sort of like the no hands restaurants in Thailand - except in the football game they do not get a BJ until they get back in the locker room with the "guys".

The mark of a true Larry Bird fan:

Kobe scores 81 points? 55 in the second half? THAT and a 300 point NBA game might get me going out of my way to watch NBA games again.

Fooledagain1 lights it up on opening weekend of NBA Playoffs, goes 5-1 and 1-0 in parlays, scores 10.5 units, $100 per unit bettor now up $1050 after 1st weekend. Hey now !!!

So how many more hot streaks like this do you need to make up for the heavy NFL losses this year?

Your blowing your own horn is like a bad parody of "Two for the Money". Makes you sound like a dope, and I really doubt you're a dope.

fooledagain-- there is help... get is before your in financial ruin ;)

Let`s see now, I`ve won 262.04 units throughout the 2004 &2005 playoffs with picks posted on site coming into 2006 NFL Playoffs, $100 per unit bettor has won $26,204.

Maybe I`m missing something but seems to me I don`t need to make-up for any heavy losses in NFL Playoffs, yes I did have fairly substansial losses in 1 playoff of 14 playoffs bet in to, 1 out of 14 , what am I missing here,. I`ve produced winning records in 11 of 14 playoff (78.6%), and am still up over 200 units to date,

just in case you can`t add that`s over $20,000 won to date.

Maybe in all your wisdom you can explain to me where these losses are.

Anyone who can bet into 14 different playoffs and have just 1 substansial losing playoff and be up over $20,000 is a very amazing run in the world of sports betting.

It`s not just a good run , it`s a very, very impressive run.

The point of my post is - I`m doing it again !!!! I could be on my way to winning in 12 of 15 playoffs.

You won`t find a better 2 plus year run by anyone anywhere in the world of sports betting.

You want to keep bringing up my 1 losing playoff or you want to bring up any time I lose, but fail to mention my 11 winning playoffs and the fact I`m well up with the picks I`ve posted throughout playoffs on the site, kind of makes you sound like a dope yourself.

Yes, I will lose games and I will win games, now, any dope can focus only on the losses and any dope can focus only on the wins, to put it in proper perspective one will have to look at wins - losses = net units won, of which I`m far and away ahead on the site in the playoff run I`ve had.

Now, when I make a post as I`ve done, I`m not just refering to the 5-1 start I`ve had but the entire run I`ve had on the site, which if you know anything about sports betting is as impressive aq run as you`ll ever find in the world of sports betting, and I`m damn happy about it.

Anybody who picks the NFL as poorly as you did this year better have stashed that previous money in a safe or go into hiding when the bad guys come looking for you, because if you bet real 'units', you probably went homeless and have zippo money to bet real units on the NBA playoffs.

And, again, am happy for you if you're winning with these picks, but you sound like a dope blowing your own horn. ESPECIALLY in light of your horrible NFL record this year.

2 team parlay --- 1 unit to win 2.6 units

I am so happy to see my Mavs make it to the finals finally. I think we stand well against the Heat and feel we will prevail int he championship this ear.

Go Mavericks!

Congratulations to Pheonix for an excelllent season. They are going to be brutal next year with Amare back and healthy.....

Hmmmm
!!!I am so happy to see my Mavs make it to the finals finally.


I thought Mark Cuban owned the Mavs and it now turns out I was just last year sitting in Morning Night Bar in Bangkok with the real owner !!

Actually next year -- look out for "my" Lakers !!!
MUUAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I am from Miami, we are calling this place "WADE COUNTY AS IN DADE COUNTY." Miami is rockin right now as it gives another reason to party on South Beach. All the hot Latinas are out and about...

Ummm....Miami Heat will be a force in the finals.

I hope so, and here's to all those hot latinas!

I would like to officially thank the Miami Heat for participating in this years playoffs.

Goodnight Now !!

49 points in the last three quarters of a playoff game ????

The Mavs' star players are very unlikely to have another off shooting night like that, and the Heat still lose by 10 !!

Couldn't happen to 2 nicer guys -- Big Judas and Little Judas. Shaq and Riles. Karma baby !

I'm lovin this.

Bullshit. Antwain, what happened to you since u left the celtics????? U are shit. Riley will come up with a plan next game... Riley rules. Shaq dominates. Wade is smoother than butter.

I doubt Miami will win more than a game this series.

Shaq can't hit the ocean from the free throw line once again.

Mavs too young, too athletic, and too deep for the Warmth .

DM

I looked really hard for Riley's plan and have yet to figure it out. He's a way overrated coach in my opinion.

Who did Shaq dominate?
Wade smooth as "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"
Antwain Who ?

Mavs in 5 .

Well I did pick the mavs and said Miami doesn't match up well vs. them if u recall. However, I was hoping for Miami to make a series out of it... Up to now, it's a joke. Yes, unless something drastic happens, Dallas in 5.

The series is now 2 - 1. Does anyone still think its a 5 game series?

Yup -- It's only one game. You seem to believe the Heat showed some kind of heart ??
Wade got hot in the final quarter . The rest of the team played like crap. Miami was lucky to barely pull this one out of the fire and avoid a sweep.

Mavs in 5 most likely-- 6 at most.

Explorer, yes it looks like 5, possibly 6 to me. How many games do you think Wade will play outa his gord?

It was very nice to see as I think Wade is a very classy player in this day and age.

I wish I knew more about basketball, so I would have a better idea about the probable outcomes of these series.

Wow... what a game.

KM, is it parkay or butter now?

Perhaps most entertaining is watching the mav's get more unraveled by the hour. There was a couple borderline calls (that last one being one of them), but still... The Mav's certainly don't have the swagger nor mindset of world champions of late.

So, will it be 5 games or 6 games?

The tide has turned from the end of game two. No doubt.

Y'all counting your chickens already ?? How may games have the Heat won in Dallas as of now ?? The series should be over already. There was only one game that the Heat really dominated - other than that they're lucky to still be playing.

Wade was totally bailed out with a fantom foul call at the end of that last game. No way a call that close should have been made with 2 seconds left in the game. One of the biggest home town calls I can remember.

However, when you're surrounded by hundreds of available pussies, basketball just does not seem quite so important. I got nothing invested in this series except a true dislike of the " Big Judas". My only interest is to hope that he does not get another ring. Other than that I have much more interesting pursuits right now.

Enjoy games 6 AND 7 guys. I'll be too wrapped up in the arms of some sweet lil Pinay.

He's better than little judas-- Kobe.

Enjoy the puki!

ta da! gratz to Miami and fans!

(Message edited by donmarco on June 20, 2006)

The puki is fine ! BTW I keep running into our mutual old friend even though she no longer works in the bars. The bargirl network alerted her to my presence the day I arrived .She seems to hang out on Fields then acts surprised when she sees me. Still a lil sweetheart though. I might just do her once or twice for old time's sake before I leave. She's certainly very anxious to please me -- not a bad thing eh ??

So she's a freelancer now? More than likely on the payroll. Enjoy-- wish I could be there-- it would make for interesting times on fields

Was just lurking Field's to find me so she says. I changed my SIM card and she got frustrated getting no service recordings.
Says she's working as a housemaid and going to school at night to become a caretaker - pretty easy Visa right now I hear. I think she wants to move to Boston. hehe

She's off on Sunday and I'll catch up on old times then. I'll give her your best !!

good-- my room is quite messy! It and my cock need a good cleaning

http://www.nba.com/features/draft2007.html

GAME FUCKING OVER! Barring major injuires, ring after ring after ring...etc.

Roy, Aldridge and Oden is certainly one helluva nucleus.

Unless they pull another "Sam Bowie" pick!

Or Mychal Thompson

Or Larue Martin.

If there's ANY team that could screw up this pick, IT'S PORTLAND!

and Martell Webster, Sergio Rodriguez, Jarett Jack, Travis Outlaw and dont forget one of the better PF in the league in Zach Randolph. I still think they need some veteran presence but the sky is the limit.

The sky MAY be the limit --If they can stay out of prison .

As Porker points out It is PORTLAND and they're not the called Trailgangsters for nothing.

For all of the NBA's international marketing efforts, the NBA Finals were not broadcast AT ALL in Mexico. There was 0 coverage of the Eastern Conference Finals also. In years past some games were on PPV and/or tape delayed. This year? NADA. Nice job!

My minor error: NBA finals were supposedly shown on some minor cable network unavailable in most of the the country. Again, nice job!

you didn't miss anything.

the lowest rated finals EVER!!!
(slightly exagerated)

Kind of reminded me of the #1 vs. #16 matchups in the NCAA tournament. Overmatched.

NBA not so FANTASTIC

I was down in Tampico for game one of the finals and it was nowhere to be found. In years past I've always been able to watch NBA finals in Mexico on my June trips. Kinda weird especially considering San Antonio's historic ties to Mexico that THEY wouldn't be shown...

Ok did I miss a thread or something?

Not a single comment about the Celtics total ass whipping of the Lakers?

Don Marco
Are you not a BBall fan ?
I will say this is the one and only time I was and ever will be rooting for a team from Boston

I just dislike the LAkers with a passion due to living in LA and having to deal with bandwagon fans.

Blazers
Tell the person of the same name
my condolences and sorry to see his team get annihilated.

Fuck the Fakers!!
Boston is back baby and will Kobe get a ring post Shak?
I see another Boston Lakers rematch

From what I saw on Chinese internet feeds, Lakers' defense was horrific. I'm sure those Euro dudes they had are decent putting the ball in the hole, but I felt like yelling "OLE" every time they tried to guard somebody!

LOL..

Watch 60 Minutes tonight.

Oliver Stone has wet dreams of the conspiracy theories that Tim Donaghy exposes as NBA reality!

Interesting that the NBA declined interviews regarding the allegations that many ref's have grudges against certain players, coaches, and owners. I have no compassion for Donaghy, but his stories regarding the inside track on some issues certainly seems plausible.

He sounds a lot like Jose Canseco did back earlier this decade when he first started talking about how many players were juicing up. No one believed him at first, now it's apparent he was pretty much 100% telling the truth. Ok, maybe just 95%, but still, pretty straight.

As much as the NBA lives and breaths by it's players, much more so than other sports, it doesn't surprise me that favoritism is rampant. Football, it's all about the violence and the teams. I'm a lifelong Redskins fan and I probably wouldn't recognize half of this year's squad if I walked by them. Baseball sells the nostalgia, the teams and the overall experience. Hockey sells the action and violence. Basketball, it's all about the players. Of course the NBA wants the top stars to go deep in the playoffs every year. It sells more gear and provides better TV ratings.

I didn't see the 60 Minutes piece, but, when Donaghy's allegations and proposed book deal were revealed about 2 months ago, Phil Jackson readily admitted in an interview that stars get favorable treatment and said it's always been that way.

Don't know if he was fined or told to shut the f*ck up by David Stern, but he refused to discuss it any more after the initial comments.

NBA sure keen on "1st year all stars" this year. Most are JOKES!

LeBron James is a joke. Ship him off to Indianapolis. He couldn't carry Bob Cousy's jock.

Or Robert Horry's.

LOSER!!!

Footypjman
He was fined $35,000. Telling the truth is frowned on in the NBA it seems.

Lebron is the NBA's version of AFraud....sadly....sooner or later he will find an owner will buy him a title. That is why both MLB and the NBA are more like pro wrestling than being a real sports anymore. They are all about marketing and perception!

Nice job, zebras, slapping Kobe with 5 fouls in 2 1/2 quarters. LOVED Phil's reaction on the phantom 4th: "COME ON". How will the script play out? This is frigg'n BEYOND soap opera stuff!

Will one sentence of the game stories mention Ray Allen sitting all game 1 because of the zebras, or kobe sitting in game 2 for same reason.

Minutes played: Allen 43:30, Bryant 34.

Series 1-1.

Anybody wanna bet Boston loses game 3?

WWF is more puzzling...

Wait a minute, the Celtics were getting insane calls against them all night, especially against Garnett. Any time Kobe touches the ball, the whistle gets blown. So many phantom calls against Boston, I dont know where to begin. The worst is Derek Flopper...how does that third rate player still get away with his antics...worse then Divac.

(Message edited by blazers on June 07, 2010)

Whoa, whoda thunk it? WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED that the NBA script would have had Boston up 3-2 heading back to LA, and OMG, the Lakers valiantly rose up and fended off the visitors to force a game 7.

Jeez, I mean, IMAGINE THAT?

The ONE thing that separates the NBA from the WWF is that in game 7 teams supposedly are allowed to tear up the script and fight it out.

OOOOH, I JUST can't WAIT!!!

http://www.nba.com/features/draft2007.html GAME FUCKING OVER! Barring major injuires, ring after ring after ring...etc.

and Martell Webster, Sergio Rodriguez, Jarett Jack, Travis Outlaw and dont forget one of the better PF in the league in Zach Randolph. I still think they need some veteran presence but the sky is the limit.

Nice to know Blazers sports genius extends beyond the NFL and fantasy baseball. He's truly a renaissance man?

Or maybe he was calling for Durant to win "ring after ring"?

Phil Jackson said it all in game 5: "They know how to lose!"

So Lebron to Miami.

I am betting Pat Riley will be the coach again soon...

Porker said it best [see above], "Lebron James is a joke".........

ditto that. While I never liked the Cav's, I would love to see them win a championship without the bum.

I was joking about LeBron. Sounds like Beachman is your true idol re: James.

Cavs owner is a low class loser and his team resumes being the Original Clippers Joke of a Franchise.

James will never get his due by cherry picking his championship cast, though. Oh well...

He got his due last year...his ass kicked by the Celtics so that he quit 1/2 way through the series. For an elite athlete, that spells "low class loser" in my book.

It wasn't his shining moment. Hard WINNING as a one man team, though, isn't it?

Well, I take that back... Shaq's got count for 1/4 of a real player!

So a 1 1/4 man team?

While falling short is excusable, quitting is not.

Philly up THIRTY EIGHT POINTS mid-3rd quarter AT ATL?

Reason # 11,412 not to bet on sports...

Hey, although I am pretty much not doing anything I still like this site and check in often. So now that its 2-2 with Miami and San Antonio, what do you guys pick? I just made a bet and got SA +1 1/2 for Sundays game. Although it isn't for me (its for my mom). Anyone think she's gonna go 18 large for a $20 bet?

I'm pulling for and picking the Spurs tonite. It's time for Manu Ginobili to break out of his funk and turn back the clock. I like your pick...
