2015/16 NBA Thread

[Seto]

Derek Fisher has to be the worst coach in NBA history.

Here's the lineup he has out there:

Jerian Grant
Sasha Vujacic
Lance Thomas
Kyle O'Quinn
Kevin Seraphin

And he has played them for about 2 or 3 minutes and I don't know if any of them has even been able to hit the rim. Ever consider trying to have 1 offensive player on the court?

And now he's bringing in Lou Admundson jeez.

[Seto]

I've never seen uglier offense than the first 15 minutes of this game. Never.

[freeeze]

A random person taken from the street could walk in without knowing any of the players and pick out better lineups than Fisher. The last few mins have been absolutely horrible.

[1Time!]

Knicks bench is shooting a combined 13% over last game and this game.... how is that even possible?!

[Seto]

I have seen Kyle O'Quinn, Kevin Seraphin and Lou Admundson trying to iso in the post in the same game. I give up.

If Fisher were smart he'd make his rotations work so as to always have 2 starters in the game. But clearly he's an idiot.

[Seto]

I said earlier in the season about a Celtics/Pacers game that it might have been the worst NBA game I've ever seen.

Compared to this that was an NBA Finals game. What an unbelievable shitfest. Prime example of bad coaching, players having a too high opinion of their own offense (basically every Knicks big man)

Melo has only attempted 7 shots. That's absolutely criminal. In this team he should average a minimum of 20 shots per game.

[Seto]

Remains to be seen because the games are far from over but I feel like my overall grasp on my plays has really decreased over the last 4-5 days or so. Feels like every night halfway through it I'm thinking "if I break even that'll be considered a win". This is the kind of periods that ruined my regular season last year cause I was unable to do any damage control.

Thing is I know I'll have the huge winning runs, it's just a matter of avoiding the huge losing runs as much as possible. So far it hasn't been that bad but it could bet real bad tonight. Let's hope it doesn't.

[freeeze]

I've seen teams go scoreless for 8 minutes straight and still play much better offensively over a whole half than the garbage these Knicks fukks just put up.

[Shark]

thought they were okay when they cut it to 6, but nope right back to 11

[freeeze]

Here we go again... Seraphin comes in the game and straight away gets an iso post up.

Awesome night

[RavensFan2k3]

Rockets stinking it up smh, aslong as Philly ML hits I'll be okay

[RavensFan2k3]

Rockets stinking it up smh, aslong as Philly ML hits I'll be okay

And they lose, happy thanks giving y'all

[mikmik]

Just a penetrating great night. Unreal.

[Seto]

I took Boston live with 3 minutes to go +205 and won that.

About the only play I won tonight. Total burial. Added some on Houston live and lost that too. Unreal.

I will never understand the Memphis Grizzlies. The minute I have them pegged as frauds, they start playing like a contender. The minute I have them pegged as a contender, they start playing like frauds. I haven't lost nearly as much money betting their games as with the Clippers but they fall into that category of teams that puzzle me.

[Seto]

Today: 1-6, -19x
Total: 28-41-1, -2.04x

This just confirms what I was saying earlier. There have been signs over the last 4-5 days that I was starting to struggle and this is what I was hoping wouldn't happen.

Back to the drawing board. I'll probably get hot again soon. It's just frustrating. Same shit as last season. Opened the season winning 2700 in a couple days, then lost 2400 over the next couple days, then was really hot over the next couple weeks and won 6000, and now I've lost 3500 in 4-5 days. This never happened in the 2013/14 season too. Odd.

Freaking Knicks played like crap the last 2 games. And Hou is just a lost cause at this point. Truly disappointing.

I saw they added M. Barnes and Chalmers in the team, so they will compete...

[jeep summit]

Welcome to the club. Got buried a week ago by the one and only Memphis. Bustards. Back again soon I hope. Tryna convince wife not to leave till season over.

[Seto]

Barnes has been on the team all year. And he sucks.

But yeah, since they traded for Chalmers they're 6-1. He's been a godsend for them. Who the fukk knew.

I actually like them tomorrow so hopefully they continue this and don't become an embarrassment again.

I'm just gonna avoid Houston from here on out cause they remind me of my soccer team and I know the pit is bottomless. It might be weeks or even months before they start ressembling last year's team. I might actually give Sixers ml a shot against them tomorrow.

[Seto]

Knicks+2 -110 (bet365) (risking 3.3x to win 3x)
Grizzlies-3 -110 (betcris) (risking 5.5x to win 5x)

Let's try to get back on track.

[Seto]

Sixers ml +550 (paddy power) (risking 1x to win 5.5x)

[Seto]

Wizards+3.5 -110 (betcris) (risking 3.3x to win 3x)
Wizards-10.5 +650 (paddy power) (risking 1x to win 6.5x)

[Seto]

Hornets+4 -110 (betcris) (risking 3.3x to win 3x)
Hornets ml +155 (betcris) (risking 1x to win 1.55x)

[t-wizzle]

Good luck tonight bro.

[Seto]

Good luck tonight bro.

Thanks bro. You take anything yet?

[Seto]

Great 4th quarter by Charlotte.

[Seto]

5 second violation

Comical execution down the stretch. Another fukking burial type day coming.

[Seto]

Unreal. Cleveland turns it back over and Charlotte missed another 2 shots that would've given the cover.

They must have shot like 10% in the last 7 or 8 minutes of the game.

Just can't catch a break atm. Most of this bad run has been me making bad plays but this stresses why I was bitching so much about the bad beats I had earlier this season when I could've won even more when I was hot. You want to win the close games when you're hot, cause you sure almost never win them when you're cold...

[greally311]

Yea tough run here. Real unlucky with these games tbh. Going from up 20 units to down near 20 units. Hopefully it starts turning our way

[hedgejob]

Like u said be4, manage it when ur cold.

[Seto]

Like u said be4, manage it when ur cold.

There's no such thing as "managing it". It's just about hoping you'll get hot again soon. There's no magic formula, it's just variance. Shit comes and goes.

Now obviously if you mean "don't go on tilt" then yes, I agree. I haven't gone on tilt in about a year and a half though so hopefully I've turned that page for good.

[Seto]

So the Sixers are down 3 with 28 seconds to go. They decide not to foul, probably the right call, gives you about 4-5 seconds to get the game-tying 3, should you manage to get a stop and a rebound.

But then, following a bit of a scramble and a jump ball, they decide with 9 seconds to go that now they ARE fouling? it's like they thought the clock reset after the jump ball which is 100% incorrect. Reminiscent of Westbrook's boneheaded play in game 4 of the 2012 Finals. Pure stupidity. But then again, this is the NBA. I'm used to it by now.
