        Yes sir!!! Now, that's what I am talking about. Way to go my friend. You were about the only one that had the brains and cashed Utah last nite and a few others. The minority wins. I lost on the Thuggets. My last time to lose with them.

        I am very happy to see you are doing do well this playoff season. Continued success my friend.

                Your welcome. Your success is well deserved as you have been grinding and grinding in the game for awhile now. Gambling ain't easy. It takes many things that most will never have.


                As far as Denver.. Yea, they might, or should get it done but if they had any aspirations of winning the series they needed last nite. I think Denver has there eye's set on a pool party at acting coach Adrian Dantley's house to smoke some bud and break out the O/E 40's. Maybe they will postpone the party until coach Karl feels well enough to join them. I can see coach Dantley working that Barbecue grill right now sipping on some O/E with JR. Smith helping


                I think I will fade Denver until Utah closes it out. They are the better BASKETBALL team and have the coach to boot. There is a reason Sloan has been in Utah for a quarter of a century and all that time has had one loosing season. If he had some hardware he would go down as one of the best coaches maybe top 5 the league has ever seen.

                  I'm definitely with you on the Magic tonight Dexter and perhaps the Bucks as well. I don't think I can side with Portland on the road though. GL to you tonight

                      thats exactly my strategy with portland over phx.

                      im so pissed that i never played the spurs and portland with series bets. i felt strongly both would win and never pulled the trigger.

                        I like these a lot, Dex. I love what the Cats have done this year, and I really want them to avoid the sweep, but I think you're probably right about the Magic. Time to put their foot down and send a message to everyone else in the league. Not going to play it though.

                        What are your thoughts on the Bucks series price? I put a unit on it at +760 because I think at worst the Bucks will take one more game in the series. If that happens tonight, the ATL series price will drop. Either way, game 5 could be a very profitable game...

                          its worth a shot - i could see that buffoon woodson screwing up in a big spot.

                          hawks are just physically tons better then milw. heart can carry the bucks so far, but at 8/1 its not a bad shot to take.

                              I hate to sound like a racist on this forum but black folks are really not cut out for coaching. Yea, they beat the white man like crazy playing, but don't have the mental aptitude to make crucial decisons and seem to always have less control over the players. Your right Woodson is a buffoon and you are also right Atlanta is physically tons better.


                              I have seen Scott Skiles coach in-game and make decisions in the heat of battle and he is so smooth. He is probably the best game manager in the NBA in a close game down the stretch. If Skiles ever gets some real players he will be a beast. You can tell Skiles has that PG in him how he manages the game. Probably, the reason he was a player for quite awhile because talent wise the parks and rec centers are full of thugs that had more than him.

                                Come on, lyon. You're better than that.

                                If you want to make that argument for Woodson vs. Skiles, do it. Just don't throw a blanket statement and make this so "black and white" -- it's not.

                                  Well, from my experience it is what it is! Sorry to have offended you are anybody else. It is fine to say the black man makes a way better basketball player than the white man. We all know that and can agree on that. The door however swings both ways. It's true, if you were starting an NBA franchise how many white players would you be scouring the earth looking for? Probably not many are any for that manner. The funny thing is the best white skin players in the league are not even American's. NBA basketball is not for the white man. White man does not have the athletic ability to compete with the black man we all know this. It's the same thing with coaching just the other way around.

                                    I'm not sure about mental aptitude as I think this is racist, but a coach's race MAY have something to do with how the players (predominately black) respond to the coaching and leadership of a coach.

                                        Maybe it's because generally in poorer areas they don't have lacrosse fields, golf fields, baseball fields, etc. Some poorer areas don't even have basketball courts, but it isn't hard to put up a box on a pole and make a basketball court. Generally in these poorer urban areas the population is heavily black, so if you grow up in this area you're going to be better at playing basketball.

                                        I haven't done any kind of studies on the numbers of NBA players coming from poor urban environments, and whether where they grew up contributed to their skill in basketball so I put a maybe in my statement. I'm sure you haven't done any studies on black people across the board and basketball skill or white people across all socio-economic levels and basketball skill so you probably shouldn't say that blacks are just better than whites at basketball inherently. Same with the coaching thing.

                                        For the record I'm Asian, wasn't offended by what you say, but just saying that there's probably some outliers in the data you're not looking at.

                                        Also I live in East Baltimore neighborhood is 80 percent black, mostly working class or on public assistance, and we have a couple basketball courts around. Have never seen a baseball field or football field or any other field cuz we don't got the space in this area.

                                          I apologize to Dexter for messing up his thread or anybody else reading this. It wasn't my intent to start a shit storm today over a simple comment that is an opinion of mine and only that. Please accept my apology and I will move on from this. Did not mean to come off as a racist here. It's sad however the double standards here. Rather the people reading this thread is white/black/brown/green or whatever if I had just came out and said... "The black man makes a much more gifted basketball player than the white man" Most would have been or no shit sherlock. However, the flip side of this argument is not recognized or accepted but looked down upon as taboo. It is what it is and I should have known better.

                                            Dex, why the bucks? say it aint so!

                                            I love the other two, I'm just bummed out to see you on a hot roll and going against ATL.

                                            GL anyways.

                                                              i dont recall saying that im fading the nuggets - in salt lake....yes.

                                                              bottom line - i will continue playing the home team in each game of this series. (3-1 thus far)

                                                              that high line should be a signal for you. the books have given their hint.
