Wow that really blows.

There is something fishy with these Minnesota finishes. Remember that Nets game a few weeks ago? Nets -7 and up 9 just dribbling out the clock, For some reason, while everyone else was ready to shake hands, Minny player sneaks up from behind and steals the ball. They hit a three and lose by 6, getting the cover.

yea but that would mean the entire t wolves team is in on it if the recent finish tonight was rigged, whereas only the player who stole the ball in the nets finish

andyman009 · 02-29-08, 10:55 PM

i believe they were down 7, then the 3 made it 4

diogee · 02-29-08, 10:58 PM

They gamble as a team

LT Profits · 02-29-08, 10:59 PM

Same difference.

Just unreal that these two whacky endings were Minny covers is all.

lol i dont think any bookie can afford to pay them ...these guys are millionaires....

i always thought how easy it would be for a football coach to rig one of those player props of how many rushes a rb will get...sh1t u throw a coach 50grand to make sure so and so runs for more then the bet says, and u cash in

You can say that again! That lakers/bucks game is the reason i dont watch games im betting on. i just check back when the game is over, too stressful 2 watch.

rake922 · 03-01-08, 12:55 AM

I had under 196.5 in Sonics/Heat today.....

Final score 103-93

diogee · 03-01-08, 01:00 AM

gotta love the NBA

Blame Lebron for this one I watch the ending Lebron gets the rebound cavs up 90-75 with 1:02 to play one of his teammates falls down under the base line.

So Lebron with ball in hand reaches his other hand up to help his fallen player up only thing is the other player is out of bounds so that made Ledron out of bounds when he touched him.

So Minny gets ball back and hits a 3 and the rest of the story plays out.

If Lebron lets his teammate get up on his own the cavs would have had ball with 1:02 left and dribble out most the clock I doubt Minny would have covered.
