2012-13 NBA Picks

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 09:19 PM

The 76ers had a lead and then they just kept jacking three pointers until the lost.

Stupid basketball. How do you go the final three minutes and not get 1 point?

**No coincidences** · 01-28-13, 09:20 PM

One of those nights. I knew it was coming.

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 09:25 PM

Went 1-3 with the early plays. For some reason I knew the Raptors would cover the first half and lose by double digits.

Hopefully the Kings hold on but of course Evans misses a free throw.

But I wanna know are you actually serious when you say stuff like this? Like yea I get it, it's a gambling forum we're all degens but dude ... you can't seriously be micro-analyzing games that much can you?

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 09:30 PM

Thank god. Had that gone to overtime I'm sure they would have lost by 8.

When you have a 1H bet, every minute counts -- so yeah, when there are seven points in 40 seconds, that matters.

Notice it went over by 2 points.

**No coincidences** · 01-28-13, 09:49 PM

Man, the totals were way off tonight.

MEM/PHI, DEN/IND, SAC/WAS, GS/TOR, ORL/BROOK -- numbers and movement weren't even close.

Ok didn't know you were on the first half over, just figured it was an over bet. But still. When will you realize that this stuff happens in basketball?

Where did I say it doesn't happen?

You clearly don't understand the concept of runs in basketball. Or that the pace of play varies throughout the game.

**No coincidences** · 01-28-13, 09:56 PM

DEN/IND under 206.5 live (3.3U to win 3)

If both of these teams keep shooting 50-55% and it goes over, so be it.

I was just getting frustrated and posting about it -- I never said it didn't happen. Big difference.

Dude, why are you so obsessed with coming into my thread and nitpicking my comments? It's getting to be weird.

**2014millionaire** · 01-28-13, 10:01 PM

Hey no coincidences what is your record for NBA picks this season so far? I also had philly tonight, no bueno!

Refs going whistle crazy here.

It's not like I come into your threads that often. I pop in maybe once or twice a week. Why are you getting so sensitive again?

Why does it baffle you when a team scores, say, 17 points in 5 minutes? Or 4 points in 5 minutes. I feel like you think the game should be 2 points for each team each minute. That's not how it works.

Where am I "baffled" by this? I was just venting -- not saying it doesn't happen.

Again, you're exaggerating to make your point, whatever your point is. Why you're wasting your time (again) trying to make it, I have no idea.

Oh ok so you deny making those kinds of posts night after night. Righttttt.

**No coincidences** · 01-28-13, 10:10 PM

Have a bad feeling the Pacers are cooked.

They needed to play a solid defensive game and set the tempo in this one, and in the 2Q, they didn't do either. The fact that it's 55-53 at half and Denver's making them run doesn't bode well for the rest of the game.

I just looked through your recent posts. Control F the word "points." Just go through the first few pages. Case closed.

**Nomadik** · 01-28-13, 10:15 PM

Got ref fcked the last minute of that half. Had a dime on Nuggs -3. #fml

Again, you're confusing complaining or being frustrated by me acting like it's unprecedented (unless it is, like the Northern Illinois game). There is a difference, but you would rather sit here and nit-pick, unprovoked, over semantics. Again.

Have a great night, t-wizz. I'm sorry you feel such a strong need to waste your time with this, but apparently it satisfies something for you. Glad I can be of service. Can't wait for tomorrow's worthless/pointless go-round.

It's not about me no coin - it's about you. Don't worry we won't have a go-round tomorrow.

**t-wizzle** · 01-28-13, 10:22 PM

By the way you didn't see me getting all upset when you popped in my college thread to disagree about Indiana.

I can actually carry a discussion without letting my feelings get hurt. No reason to take things so personal on a gambling forum with people you don't even know.

Thank you. You mean you're finally just going to ignore my posts? Because that would be great. The sooner the better. I've wasted more time responding to you over semantics than anyone else over the past two months.

That's because I'm not putting words in your mouth.

And neither am I. My disagreement with you is over your views on the game. It surprises you when a certain amount of points are scored over a certain amount of time. You disagree with me about coaching. I'd be happy to have either conversation with you because that's why I come to this place.

Unfortunately when I attempt to start a conversation, you take it personal for whatever reason.

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 10:27 PM

I have under 90.5 2nd half in this Bulls game. The Bobcats started fouling down 9 in the final minute. I'm going to get screwed here....

Yep -- 29 point 3Q and it's going to go over.

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 10:29 PM

I already know what's going to happen. They're going to miss a shot and then foul down by 8 points under 10 seconds to go.

Both free throws will be made. I'll lose by .5....

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 10:31 PM

Wow. Down 8 with 15 seconds left, you're fouling like crazy, and you keep calling plays to set up a layups. Thank god they didn't call a foul there.

I don't understand the logic. Get a layup, foul, get a layup, foul...stay down 8.....Geez.

You post at me like I'm a child or a dummy who doesn't understand how basketball works, just because I like to bitch about runs in a game. Again, I never said they don't happen or that I'm baffled by it. You are putting words in my mouth. Period.

This is my last post to you about this or anything else. I'm just wasting more and more time. Apparently you know what I'm thinking or seeing and I don't.

**No coincidences** · 01-28-13, 10:33 PM

What a horrible gameplan by the Pacers tonight.

**BigDofBA** · 01-28-13, 10:34 PM

What's the point about bitching about some else bitching?

In other news, I have under 205 in the Nugget game and though I got a good number by waiting but neither team can miss. The books were way off on totals tonight.
