Good Luck cheme82,

I hope the system goes undefeated.
You got guts taking this game, I'll give you that.

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 06:55 PM

Thanks bro, hopefully it hits. I took Toronto big about 3 weeks ago when they came to town to play the Rockets. That game was cardiac to say the least.

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 06:56 PM

cheme82, I'll be rooting for all you guys that are playing the "C" bet but I personally just took the losses from the previous two games. I don't have that much faith in the Clippers. When they lost to the Pistons without Iverson, Stuckey, Hamilton, and Wallace, and then get blown out by the Craptors, I knew there was no way that I could take them in the third game no matter what the spread was. Again, good luck.

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 07:03 PM

I hear you bro, they have been terrible on this road trip, don't blame you for the lack of faith.

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 07:08 PM

31-18 first quarter. Good thing neither Allen nor Pierce have gotten involved yet. Garnett should not play more than 20 minutes in this game and hopefully that scrawny little **** Rondo cools down a little bit.

Besides that, they are covering right now.

natelli1 · 03-23-09, 07:10 PM

listen i wish you the best of luck being that you have 6k on the clippers tonight .. but i dont agree with that decision especially after the clippers lost by 24 to toronto yesterday, and boston is like ...hmmmm 60x better than the raps and lets see .. ill be nice and say 149x better than the clips ....
i took the celts first half and game (and -6 in a 10pt tease)but not for anywhere near 6k so if i lose i wont be mad because then i know that you just hit for 6k .... good luck pal

Clippers down 1? I hope the Celtics wake up at half time...

italiano22 · 03-23-09, 07:26 PM

CLIPPPPPERSSS gl man i hope you cash in

nickmanning214 · 03-23-09, 07:29 PM

Cmon celtics wtf i got $14 on this game damnit!!!

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 07:29 PM

Nice run Clips!!!!!!!! The Celtic's bench is supposed to be good but they gave up all the lead and then some. I knew they had to cool down, they shot 68% on the first quarter, that's bullshit, no way they could keep that up.

What hurts their bench is when Rondo is out too, they should sit Rondo only when Allen and pierce are in the game. But hopefully they keep it up.

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 07:31 PM

cheme, I think the Celtics bench is garbage. I really don't think signing Marbury and Moore will help them. Their bench was weak to begin with and I think it's still a weakness that they'll have to deal with the rest of the season and into the playoffs. As you just saw, they gave up a 13 point lead within minutes to the Clippers.

SportsTerminator · 03-23-09, 07:32 PM

Clippers will fail as usual l0l... Expect Boston to lay the smackdown in the 2nd half...
Cmon Boston -7.

italiano22 · 03-23-09, 07:34 PM

cheme wats your spread?

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 07:43 PM

44-42 at halftime. Much better than I had hoped for, any single digits would have been good by halftime after that first quarter. I think the main problem the Boston bench has is at point, Garnett sat all the second quarter and I only expect him to play about 10 more minutes in the secold half.

Here comes the scary part, the freaking 3rd. quarter. If they go into the 4th. quarter down by 8 or less, they have a really good chance of covering.

Italiano, I am getting 18.5 for the game (with a 3-point buy).

therber2 · 03-23-09, 07:44 PM

cheme you should lay down boston for the 2nd. Win em both.

That's what I just did.

hi-rez · 03-23-09, 07:45 PM

Hit celts 1Q, just put the winnings on celts 2H -8.5. Also have celts -15 for the game, hopefully they can repeat the first q

cartytay · 03-23-09, 07:47 PM

wow sikk 2 quarter> i cant believe this is even close. I was hoping to be down 10 at half and hope like hell boston didnt show up after halftime. now its gonna be close cuz they may actually have to play the whole game. but go clippers. 6k!!!!!

Ticon18 · 03-23-09, 08:04 PM

what the f Boston. Need them by 8 or more

SportsTerminator · 03-23-09, 08:09 PM

this is unbelievable, cmon Boston start blowing them out l0l

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 08:14 PM

Come on Clips, hang in there. Down by 8 or less at the end of the 3rd. is good. Rondo has 4 fouls and they took him off of Davis now. Soon they'll have to sit Garnett and Rondo too so it's looking good.

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 08:14 PM

The Clippers should roll over and die. They need to start acting and playing like the Clippers. I really want to know how you can get blown out by 24 by the Raptors and then come to Boston and stay within striking distance? I'm still rooting for you cheme, but I got Boston at -15 so a win by 16 points would be nice.

rowdy08 · 03-23-09, 08:15 PM

yall believe this shit, the celts are beating the clips!!

SportsTerminator · 03-23-09, 08:15 PM

Watch Baron Davis hit a three at the end so all the Celtics backers won't cover l0l.

...

Yes Celtics are heating up...Clippers are going back to themselves...4th quarter brake down for the clipps here we come

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 08:21 PM

Ok 70-60 going into the 4th. Another bullshit shooting % by the Celtics so they are about to go shoot 7 of 17 in the fourth and win it by 8. Hopefully Rondo sits out the first 5 of the 4th. and the Clips go on a little run. Garnett is probably done for the night.

I need some 3's by Novak!!!!!!!!!

Syrax · 03-23-09, 08:21 PM

I was lucky to get +18 on the clips, go clips!!!

cartytay · 03-23-09, 08:21 PM

sports terminator how much you got on this game?

You had to say something l0l

The_Kid · 03-23-09, 08:24 PM

Guys, I honestly think that your +18 or whatever is safe. I don't think Doc will put out his starters out much longer if they have a big lead.

SportsTerminator · 03-23-09, 08:26 PM

All In... I would have took Clippers +18 but I thought the Clipps would lose more than that... -7 Just seemed like the safer pick...

cartytay · 03-23-09, 08:30 PM

-7? how did u get that line? teaser???

SportsTerminator · 03-23-09, 08:31 PM

Yeah Celtics!!!

Yea... Teaser.

...

4th quarter break down Clipps

Cheme82 · 03-23-09, 08:32 PM

Oh shit! Here they come!!!!!

cartytay · 03-23-09, 08:33 PM

well we are down 18 with 7 mins. ****
