    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

    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

    I had a same situation happen to me. About 2 months ago had the lakers in 2 teasers. -6.5 in 1 teaser and -8(6teamer) in the other. all teams covered need only the lakers. They are up 11 with 15 secs left against the bucks.

    Bell 3pt Shot: Made (8 PTS) Assist: Bogut (5 AST) 0:11 [MIL 102-110]
    Yi Foul:Personal (3 PF) 0:10
    0:10 Farmar Free Throw 1 of 2 missed
    0:10 Team Rebound
    0:10 Bryant Substitution replaced by Karl
    0:10 Farmar Free Throw 2 of 2 missed
    Yi Rebound (Off:0 Def:6) 0:09
    Yi 3pt Shot: Made (13 PTS)Assist: Williams (6 AST) 0:02
    [MIL 105-110]

    Farmer went 2-6 from the line in the last 28 secs.

    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.

    I was just about sick. Cleveland was my big play of the day and I actually doubled my normal bet on them. Just sick.
