    NC what about Spurs and Suns in the first round ??
    They can make Spurs sweat, and have a shot to go to the next round, they are true believers
    My kind of people

    What in god's name are you talking about?

    Like I said earlier - the king of the box score without ever even watching the game.

    They made sure of it.

    Did you watch the last three minutes? It was beyond obvious.

    At least I didn't lose money on the game like you did. Let me guess -- you took OKC because The Greek wouldn't move off the 3? LOL.

    So now you're an Internet troll.

    I could care less about losing on Thunder but you were obviously checking in on my picks, probably hoping I'd lose. Unfortunately I'm killing the nba as usual so your attempts to bring me down are useless.

    Only you would think the Thunder tanked. Just pure comedy you are.

    So let me get this straight: you say "Like I said earlier - the king of the box score without ever even watching the game" but I'm being the troll.

    OK.

    Honest question: were you watching the game?

    And to be honest, I couldn't care less if you win or lose. Your picks are irrelevant to me.

    Why on earth would the Thunder throw this game? You make it so obvious that you never played a sport in your life. Just a typical armchair quarterback who likes to bash athletes and call coaches idiots without ever offering any ideas to the table as to what you think the coach should have done. Seriously, doesn't it get old?

    And you clearly do care about my picks because you knew I was on Thunder. Be honest - it brought you a little joy that I lost there. It probably brought you a little joy when my college picks lost yesterday too. I can sense it in your posts. You wouldn't even know what it's like to bet on some games with house money because you're so stuck in your ways. That's why you quit after losing an $80 play.

    You aren't even close to being right, but whatever fits your angry agenda. Again, did you watch the game?

    Do you even bother checking my threads? I could link them here if you'd like. I "wouldn't even know what it's like to bet on some games with house money"? Wow, now there's another desperate, inaccurate statement. I see you've just resorted to throwing shit against the wall to see if it will stick now.

    I think Oklahoma City wants Phoenix in the first round (I don't blame them -- who wouldn't?) Tonight's loss made that closer to reality.

    Winning $400 or whatever you are up in your threads over the course of an entire season is not "house money." It's small dribs and drabs of profit that you admitted didn't even make the entire thing worth it in the first place. Diminishing returns right bud?

    Lol you even have another thread whining about the Suns winning too much. Probably lost $60 on one of their games and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. From that point on, it has annoyed you whenever the Suns shoot the lights out even though we're talking about a team that's almost 20 games over .500 with only a few games remaining. Give it up - just accept that they are a decent team.

    So are you saying they lost because they'd rather play Dallas or Memphis in the 1st round and let the Spurs deal with Phoenix?

    Well now let's get our facts straight for argument's sake. In the last calendar year, here are my in-season threads:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/nba-basket...l#post21584594

    +29.72U in the NBA

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/nfl-bettin...picks-p17.html

    +81.8U in the NFL (+45U last year)

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/college-fo...hread-p12.html

    -17.55U in college football

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/ncaa-baske...hread-p13.html

    -8.79U in college hoops.

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/baseball-b...iends-p13.html

    +4.37U in MLB (+95U last year)

    So that's +89.55U total in the last eight months alone, or a little under $1,800 profit for me at $20 per unit. Not bad for a hobby, which is all this is to me.

    I find it ironic that, on a site where people literally hemorrhage money with bad picks, chase bets, etc., you choose to attack me even though I have no trouble grinding out a profit in nearly every sport, every year, with little to no risk.

    Lol you even have another thread whining about the Suns winning too much. Probably lost $60 on one of their games and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. From that point on, it has annoyed you whenever the Suns shoot the lights out even though we're talking about a team that's almost 20 games over .500 with only a few games remaining. Give it up - just accept that they are a decent team.
    Now this one's really rich. You've been bashing the Suns all season, you bet against them tonight, yet just to try and win an argument here, you are suddenly going to defend them? I've heard it all now.

    Phoenix loses tonight, they're tied with Memphis for the No. 8 seed and then they go on the road (which means they'd be all but out of the playoff picture). By winning tonight, they stayed alive not only for the playoffs, but for the No. 7 seed, which is likely who OKC will be facing.

    I'd say the Spurs, Thunder and/or Clippers would love to see the Suns in round one.

    The Suns are a good team

    No one wants the Suns in the first round. They are smart, athletic, and very well coached. Only thing they lack is size which can hurt them against certain teams in the playoffs but they are so good at making the bigs play defensively out on the perimeter it won't be a factor.

    Horn is the best rookie coach maybe I've seen in 20 years of watching the nba.

    Parenthetically,

    I watched the game and had the suns winning. I went on to hedge some of my bet when OKC was down 10 and they were 2.6 to 1 on 5 dimes. I saw PHX playing with too much emtion, which I don't like. I like cold blood.

    OKC spent a lot of energy getting back into the game. Secondly, Durant was having to work very hard for buckets against PJ Tucker. 3rd Westbrook wasn't giving him the ball at the end when he was calling for it. Westbrook was getting caught cheating defensively too a lot of plays and Gerald Green torched him.

    The Suns were clearly playing with a lot more desperation and hunger.
