GOLDENGREEK's 2011 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD

[goldengreek]

Cash money. How are you doing overall in the playoffs? Are you positive on units yet?

way above !!!!!!!

my guess 40-60 units +

[Vreston]

Great win for you gg! I liked that play from the start but couldn't go online to place it. Too bad. Things are not going to be easy in the next round I think.

[Vulcan300]

get money

[StevoS]

Nice going GG

[phillybadboy]

i know golden greek's strategy for success

[somachino1]

Greek, if you were me and had the thunder to win the series would you try and "middle" the bet with grizz +7 as a way to hedge or very possibly win on both sides?

Thanks In advance.

[DrAwInGdEaD]

if u want a lock..go to a hardware store

I was actually jinxing okc gg, I tailed u last nite..

that would probably also depend on how much you have on it imo...

i know golden greek's strategy for success

do tell...

[Str8cashBitch]

OKC 2morrow?

[HR Paperstacks]

Game 7 have to roll with the under right?

[heriobliss]

OKC 2morrow?

Yes.

[FindTheLock]

I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but after watching the thunder cave in the 2nd half last game I have to think the grizz have a fighting chance to cover the spread. They won't win most likely, but I personally have a hard time thinking they get blown out by double digits in a close out game.

[TheJames]

I also dont see grizzlies getting blown out here, they always show up for these games

[ringemup]

I have to like the Thunder to win, the home court edge will pay off.

[squid44]

waiting on your pick GG, great job so far !!!

[gushman]

GL today gg. Bulls series play coming?

[goldengreek]

PLZ READ CAUSE THIS MAY BE A BIT CONFUSING !!!!

I HAVE THESE PENDING WAGERS:

$ 600 ON OK CITY TO WIN THE SERIES
$ 400 ON OK CITY TO WIN IN 7 GAMES ( + 135 ) ..PLAYED THIS RIGHT B4 GAMES 6

SO... IM PLAYING MEMPHIS + 7 AS A HEDGE BET AND ALSO TRY TO MIDDLE ALL BETS

BUT !!!!!

IF I DIDNT HAVE THE PENDING WAGERS I WOULD PLAY

5* OK CITY - 7


AS FAR AS THE TOTAL....

6* UNDER 193


gl

[FindTheLock]

good picks you're going to win either way! I'm scared of betting against the grizz though, so I am laying off this game. GL even though you don't need it with that hedge!

[gushman]

How much are you putting to hedge?

[skyscrapers]

Line is up to 194. I took the under.

[HR Paperstacks]

Line is up to 194. I took the under.

Same here.

[soldier1047]

Good luck!

thanks for explaing

[goldengreek]

20* BULLS TO WIN THE SERIES + 165

FIRST OF..NOT A HOMER PLAY..I WOULD BET AGAINST A FAMILY MEMBER IF IT MEANT WINNING A WAGER

THIS IS HOW I SEE THE SERIES:

FIRST OFF ..NO ONE CAN GUARD ROSE 1 ON 1..NO ONE.. NOT ONE PERSON IN THE LEAGUE...SO ONCE HE BEATS HIS GUY OR THE DOUBLE TEAM ITS UP TO THE BIG GUYS IN THE PAINT TO STOP HIM , BLOCK HIS SHOTS, AND KNOCK HIM DOWN

IF HE DIDNT HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING TO THE RIM AGAINST ATLANTA WHO HAD : JOSH SMITH , HORFORD PACHULIA , COLLINS....HOW IS MIAMI GOING TO STOP THEM ??

WHO DO THEY HAVE IN THE PAINT ? JOEL ANTHONY , BOSH AND BIG Z WHO COULD ROTATE IN TIME TO STOP MY 5 YR OLD NIECE ??

ANOTHER REASON I LIKE THE BULLS...THEY WILL DOMINATE INSIDE AND ON THE BOARDS

THEY HAVE: NOAH , BOOZER , ASHIK , TAJ GIBSON , AND EVEN THE OLD MAN KURT THOMAS ... THE FIRST 4 GUYS I MENTIONED COULD GRAN 10-14 REBOUNDS A GAME !!
AS A MATER OF FACT IF YOU PRO RATED MINUTES ASHIK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LEADING REBOUNDER IN THE NBA

BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE SITUATION , THIS MEANS LEBRON AND WADE WILL HAVE TO CRASH THE BOARDS HARD... THIS WILL WEAR ON THEM AND TIRE THEM OUT AS THE SERIES PROGRESSES

THE BULLS YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS ARE NOT THE REAL BULLS TEAM THAT PLAYED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ALL NBA TEAMS GO THRU GOOD STREAKS WHERE THEY PLAY GREAT OR STREAKS WHERE THEY PLAY BAD..USUALLY LASTS 5-10 GAMES. THERE WAS A 10 GAME PERIOD IN MARCH WERE THEY BULLS WERE BEATING EVERYONE BY 20-30 POINTS A GAME....IM NOT SAYING THEY ARE THAT GOOD OR THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT AGAINST MIAMI....BUT I THINK THE BULLS WERE CAUGHT PLAYING SOME BAD BASKETBALL AND WERE ON A BAD STREAK IN THE LAST 2 ROUNDS OF THE PLAYOFFS...AND THEY STILL WON THEIR SERIES EASILY

FINALLY PRESSURE... DID YOU SEE HOW MIAMI CELEBRATED WHEN THEY BEAT THE CELTICS... ARE THEY CONTENT WITH THAT ? SEEMED TO ME THE EXHALED AND WERE PLAYING WITH ALOT OF PRESSURE AND WEIGHT ON THEIR SHOULDERS. THIS WONT CHANGE. NOBODY EXPECTED THE BULLS TO WIN OVER 50 GAMES THIS YR.. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND PLAY AS A TEAM...UNTIL MIAMI WINS AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP THEY WILL HAVE ALL THE PRESSURE IN THE WORLD ON THEM

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING MIAMI HAS 3 OF THE TOP 20 PLAYERS IN THE NBA AND 2 OF THE TOP 5...WHERE THE BULLS ONLY HAVE ROSE....MY ANSWER IS DID YOU SEE THE TEAMS JORDAN WON CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH..OTHER THAN PIPPEN , AND GRANT THE TEAM TALENTLESS... SOME OF THE WORST ROSTERS 1-12 TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP... AND THEY WON 6 OF THEM


SO IN CLOSING...

1) THERE IS NOT A MAN ALIVE THAT CAN GUARD ROSE AND MIAMI DOESN'T HAVE THE BIGS IN THE LANE TO STOP HIM WHEN HE ATTACKS THE RIM

2) HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THE BULLS INSIDE

3) HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THE BULLS REBOUNDING

4) NO PRESSURE ON THE BULLS AND ALL THE PRESSURE IN THE WORLD ON MIAMI

5) PUBLIC PERCEPTION.... BULLS LOOKED LIKE SHIT SO FAR IN THE PLAYOFFS STRUGGLING AGAINST INDIANA AND ATLANTA...MIAMI BEAT BOSTON IN 5 = VALUE !!!

6) MIAMI PLAYS GREAT "D" BUT THE BULLS PLAY BETTER "D"

7) MUCH DEEPER AND BETTER BENCH

8) LEBRON AND WADE WILL WEAR DOWN HAVING TO PLAY D AND REBOUND

DON'T BE SCARED PULL THE TRIGGER

[FindTheLock]

wow. GL man!! that's a big man bet right there.

[mp5070]

GG,

Bulls ML Tonight?

[dume walker]

Unbelievable that we lost that under! 65 points in a garbage time 4Q. Nevertheless, thanks for the strong calls, GG.

[goldengreek]

WHAT A FUK JOB ON THAT TOTAL


65 points in the 4th

119 in 2nd half

55 points in the last 7:39

20 points in the last 1:47

WOW...AND OUCH !!!!

[Nova0387]

Any opinion on the 1q of the bulls game?

[ringemup]

Im with your thinking on the bulls evry1 is so bent up on the heat beating the celtics they r too stupid to realize the Cs had no defense in the paint, daniels was lost for the yr who was one of their better perimeter defenders out there and that is a big reason the Cs could not keep up with miami and the athleticism of lebron n wade. The bulls though have sum talented and long defenders like brewer, bogans, deng to keep them in check at least. The bulls will have a healthy PG running the show not like rondo who had one good arm left.

[solid152]

Charles Barkley picked the Bulls for the series too..looks like your golden now

[goldengreek]

GAME 1

7* BULLS - 2

gl

[Vreston]

Hey GG nice to hear you're on the Bulls too. Thanks for analysing the reasons behind your pick.

You have them for the series, but what do you think about tonight's game?

I'm taking them -2 and hoping for the best. I grew up with the Bulls and they are the team of my heart, but I wouldn't make a play on them if I didn't think they would win.

[amac38]

good pick gg, tailed that one. thanks!

When you say Jordan's teams, did you forget Dennis Rodman? Maybe the best rebounder in NBA history?
