IMHO, if people fade you two days in a row, it's at their own peril.

Denver didnt lose a home playoff game last year until the lakers series. This isnt a very good team. They will be lucky to escape this series and will be out next round.

I'm not sure Denver gets through this series, even with Okur out.

The "first game without a star player" theory worked tonight with Okur -- does it cash for Boston tomorrow as well?

I think Denver started going downhill after they won that game in L.A. back 2 or 3 months ago. I'm not saying they won't win this series, but they aren't good enough to contend in the west.

As for Billups and his boys, they seemed awfully passive/tentative once they got up by 3, eh?

They pretty much lost their confidence when Mello fouled out, and they all expected Billups to bail them out at the end. These guys need to get smacked around by a guy like Carl to knock some sense into them,

LakerBoy,

if you like the jazz in this series I'll take Denver for like 30 sbr points

**HenPrivilege** · 04-20-10, 12:58 AM

Hey atleast no one here put 15 dimes on Nuggets ML like supposedly someone did.

**rvfrank** · 04-20-10, 12:58 AM

Jizz is a much stronger team imo

**Goat Milk** · 04-20-10, 12:59 AM

Anyone that likes Utah to win this series, I'll take Denver, we can but SBR points on it, just let me know.

I said Denver will be lucky to win the series and i still think they could pull it off. All they gotta do is win one in utah and they have the homecourt back. It took a miracle game from the jazz tonight to win. I dont think the jazz will win the series but denver isnt the same team as last year.

It's pretty sad when a relatively laid-back guy like Karl needs to "knock some sense" into them. That shows how much of a ghost Dantley is.

I think this team gets pummeled in Game 3, which puts them in the danger zone for the series.

**t-wizzle** · 04-20-10, 01:01 AM

The main reason Denver started going downhill isn't because of the Martin injury or Karl's cancer... they started going downhill a couple months ago when Billups began to show his age. He isn't the same player he was in January - it's not even close. He's lost his legs. Billups is the reason they got so much better last season and he's the reason they aren't as good as they were last year now because he's flat out old.

I hear ya but I just don't see it happening. I feel very sure that kobe won't go off... perhaps durant will if he's past the first game jitters but still I see a similar game to game 1. Kinda low-scoring, but maybe I'm way off here.

yeah its a tough one

**No coincidences** · 04-20-10, 01:02 AM

This loss is on Carmelo. He can't go 9 for 25 and foul out against a team like Utah, who has no one to guard him.

Billups stunk tonight, too.

I'd love to put my entire 'roll on Utah - whatever in Game 3, but Carmelo's holding me back. He could -- and might -- g for 50 and keep Denver in it. No excuses for the way he played tonight.

**Goat Milk** · 04-20-10, 01:05 AM

come on, all the people saying Utah is a better team and they'll win the series. rvfrank? Here's your chance to make some easy points!

**lakerboy** · 04-20-10, 01:06 AM

Nah i like the nuggets in game 3. The jazz are full of themselves right now. The problem with nba is that these fukks get too many days off and that really affects the way one can bet because they are all fully ready to go. if it was a 1 day break i would take nuggets large in game 3. stern is a genius like that he cant even make the betting easy.

Not with Okur and AK out, but I do think it's a total toss-up at this point and if Denver gets pummeled in Game 3, they're going to be on the brink.

Like I said, after tonight's performance, a good bet might be Carmelo north of whatever points they set it at for Game 3. I'll have to consult Laker Crazy on that one, but my guess is he has at least 35-40.

alright we'll see how that pans out. If Utah win game 3, I still take Denver to win the series.

BTW, Durant will go off for 30+ tomorrow. Artest thinks he did a good job on him? Durant missed shots that he normally makes, and was actually getting to his spots on the court effi competitive ciently, he wasn't dominating the ball and playing off the ball which will be a central key for the thunder to keep this series ocmpetative, artest is nothing he doesn't phase durant.

**jnickell100** · 04-20-10, 01:11 AM

I dont care what the line is game 3 im taking the nuggets for a couple units

**shari91** · 04-20-10, 01:13 AM

I swear the books were laughing when they saw this playoff matchup. It's going to be a frigging money maker for them all the way through, I'm sure. Doesn't matter what side we're on with these fukks, we seem to get sunk more times than not.

What's worse is it's taken til now to dawn on me that I keep getting stuck betting on Denver when I want action because of the damn time difference here. By the time I wake up, half the time they're one of the only games left unless I want to put my bets on the night before.

LB - it seems most people had a fukked day on here. Beginning with that Boston game where people got screwed left and right (not talking about those who followed Agios). It seems the majority of people have either lost today or stayed away, so I think it's just one of those correction days in the gambling universe. Tomorrow y'all will get back everything you lost and then some!!

Durant may go off for 30+, but who's going to score the other 60-70?

I think the Thunder get trounced tomorrow and limp back to OKC, where they win Game 3.

I don't think I'm going to touch this series again. 0-2 is enough.

I feel the same way about DAL/SA. Teams are too evenly-matched to mess with trying to figure these games out IMHO.

**keijo32** · 04-20-10, 01:15 AM

it's all in the mindset with the nuggets...lakers can afford it with there talent but nuggets can't just turn it on and off.
that's what makes nuggets so dangerous in game 3 since they will be motivated again

**MrTwiz** · 04-20-10, 01:15 AM

Im currently 31/32 in handy capping contest. I am by no means a stud top teir guy, but I can hold my own. To start these playoffs in that thread Im 0-7! LOL I never go 0-7, shits just funny his first weekend. BOL to all in the future

its the law of avg. How come the lakers have held king durant to 25 ppg this year while he scores 30 ppg overall. Dont fool yourself goat , Artest is still a solid defender.

I think the Thunder get trounced tomorrow and limp back to OKC, where they win Game 3.

Durant on his game will open up the whole court for everyone else; they were pretty much able to neutralize him with 1 guy (Artest in the last game) and LA played zones at time, but that's not going to work this time. Westbrook is already a massive mismatch for pg LA has, these two guys will create and get open shots for everyone else. The points will come.

**MarkHammond** · 04-20-10, 01:18 AM

LA also kills OKC on the boards. who gonna rebound for OKC?

I am just hoping you are on my side of the plays tomorrow, I'll tell you that. You will bounce back. I started 0-5 in the playoffs and now I am at 6-6-1. I am liking PHX 1H, OKC +6.5, Heat Team Total OVER and Heat 1H PK. Still debating Heat +1 for the game.

Artest is a good defender but good offense is going to beat good defense tomorrow IMO. Vegas seems to think so also as they dropped the line 2 points from the 8.5 it was in the 1st game. Actually this is the LEAST number of points they've been given ever between the two teams and the public is pounding LA. OKC beat LAL by 6 points in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters combined. They just had a horrible 1Q because of the jitters it being their first playoff game. Durant played horrendous game1 and OKC still covered.

I just think OKC's one man short of seriously contending. Durant and Westbrook are outstanding players, but unless Green gets back on track and they get something big out of Harden or Kristic (who combined for what, 8 the first game?), I just can't see them covering tomorrow. LAL is too big for them now that Bynum is back.

Of course artest is solid, he's still a top 10 1 on 1 defender in this league, but he's no match for Durant- he really cannot phase Durant, watching that game, Durant missed sooo many shots that they should have made. And not just shots off the dribble, he got into the paint for open shots off the ball and he got perfect entry passes and just missed easy 12 ft jumpshots. That first game was all the Phil factor.

Lakers have held Durant to 25 because they have great team defense. Whenever they play LA, Kobe just roams around on defense.

I'll hold you to this if you hold me to it. I'm fukking serious. We can still cheer these guys on but save our sanity. You need to be a brave soul to bet the Nuggets anything other than ML for the rest of these games I think.

I said a week ago I'm not betting on these games after the Nuggets stung most people in here. Instead, I bet game 1 and pushed. Said in here after game 1 I'm happy with my push and staying away from game 2. Instead I bet this game, had to wheel and deal my ass off between 2 books to try to save my Denver -6 bet and end up down $20. If that's not a sign from the friggin universe for me to stay away from this team, nothing is because realistically I could've been down a huge chunk if most of my 2H, 3Q bets didn't pan out.

**shari91** · 04-20-10, 01:33 AM

Goat - I jumped on the Nuggets -6, Nuggets 2H, Nuggets 3Q and the 2H over. Remember, I don't have an account with live betting and really want to stay away from that although I'm debating it hard.

Yeah I only lost $20 measly bucks in the end but it's the fact that I had so much in play on this game that makes me sick. Not on this team.
