GOLDENGREEK's 2011 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD

[SexyMit]

It goes from OKC favored in Dallas by 3 last time they played, won and covered. And now Dallas is -6, you have balls for doing 20 units. I definately wouldn't do 20, I wouldn't be surprised if OKC gets blown out in my opinion. But good luck I'm on the total not the side

[Erwright]

OKC is not the same as the lakers. I like your bet GG.

[WesJeffery]

Greek thanks for the input, but OKC would not have been able to beat LA or San Antonio, they got help. Plus everyone thought Portland will beat Dallas and against Lakers no body gave them a chance, they were +350 to win the series.

Also Dallas dind't celebrate ANY WHATSOEVER after beating sweeping the Lakers, thats some statement in it self. They know the mission. I wish you good luck but won't be able to pull trigger on this one. You may very well be right, but time will tell.

As always, keep up the gr8 work.

[JR007]

Luck to all tonight.....

ANY TEAM OTHER THAN NEW ORLEANS WOULD HAVE BEAT THE LAKERS THIS YEAR IN A SERIES

OK CITY WOULD HAVE CRUSHED THEM

SA ??? THEY LOST TO MEMPHIS !!

HOW DID THEY GET HELP

[goldengreek]

ADDING:

8* UNDER 194.5 OK CITY

[F.Lucena]

Good luck tonight Greek!!!

Lets cash the thunder +6

[Rainricva]

Let's get this! Cheers Greek.

[JamalCrawford]

wow they are not letting anyone lay a finger on dirk... this is bullshit

[somachino1]

No answer whatsoever for dirk. The thunder don't have a prayer.

[hogfan]

Dirk is getting every damn call... this is making me sick!

[chevy6]

I lost 70% of my money fml

[king9]

it was so clear the thunder couldn't guard dirk. any capper worth his salt knew this

[UpsetSpecial09]

I lost 70% of my money fml

Please tell me you didn't actually put 70% of your bankroll on this game! If so that is HORRIBLE money management. I know GG lost big on this game but based on his amazing record I doubt he had that much of his bankroll on it even with it being a 20 unit play for him. I don't care how much $ you have in your bankroll, you should NEVER be putting 70% of it on one game, I don't care who is playing. We see guys doing this on here all the time and I never get it. Lesson learned for you hopefully but I will never understand why people go ALL IN. The best thing I have ever read about sports betting is...It's a marathon not a sprint! Remember this when it comes to money management and you have a chance to come out ahead. Its hard enough to win beating the juice but you will never be a winner just throwing 70% of your bankroll on a random playoff game, especially without an angle. And saying that Dallas might be out of it after such a long layoff between the series if not anywhere near a good enough angle to do something like this.

everyone loses big bets. it's the nature of the beast. this doesn't mean the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Who could've predicted a monster game like that from dirty dirk??

golden greek is the best in nba,

I tried to warn you!

Anyone. Dirk is a matchup nightmare for OKC -- much like Durant is for Dallas.

Now whether or not that directly affects the side is debatable. The fact that Dirk went nuts is not surprising, though.

[No coincidences]

Dirk didn't play in that last matchup.

whatever dude

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Exactly.

haha so ANYONE could have predicted dirk to break the FT record and get 48 tonight? I will let you carry on with that non sense. I know Dirk is going to get his 28-34 points on any given night, but 48 isn't done that often. You can't just call a big night like that predictable without catching some shit. that's a point a minute

Dirk has averaged ~ a point per minute against OKC this year. Try again.

He was even better (overall) against them last year.

Yes, 48 points is high. But he was always going to have a very big series.

[FindTheLock]

haha the point is when you're handicapping a basketball game you're not accounting for 100 percent FT shooting and a point a minute production from a player. If you do then you're either a genius or you lose a lot of bets. So you try again considering his average as u call it was a sample size of a few quarters. the spread here was +6 and the mavs only covered by 3. 100 percent FT shooting and 48 points on 13 shots definitely played a factor in the outcome of this wager. TRY AGAIN! what a laugher.

[FindTheLock]

I can guarantee if GG thought dirk was going to score more than 35 points he would've lowered his stakes on that bet. The guy just had one of the most ridiculous nights of any shooter in NBA history and you guys are trying to act like it was no big deal and can be duplicated at any given moment. That game was one for the memory, so I hope u kids were paying attention.

[somachino1]

Damn. 35 units gone in a night. This'll take a while to recover from.

No that's not the point. We are not discussing handicapping the game. (Though, if you disregard the entire last two years of data for a player/team in your handicapping because the sample size is too small you must be terrible. What could you possibly use then?).

It is well known that Dirk has very BIG games against OKC. That is the point.

If you bothered to read the second point I quoted from NoCoin:

"Now whether or not that directly affects the side is debatable."

On the more important note:

Too bad on OKC GG*
The unshakeable 20* had to have a defeat sometime. You scared me off Dallas pre-game with it though.
CHI looking good to make it up to you and I with some +money.

your arrogance and failure to admit you are wrong is funny to me. I am not going to waste any more time with it. You are trying to tell me what my point was? you're simply not capable of doing anything but forming an opinion, be it wrong or right, and sticking to that opinion at all costs. That isn't a sign of intelligence. I will not waste any more time with you. GL trying to teach people what points they are trying to make. Show me another game where dirk shot 100 percent from the FT line and made 48 points to cover the spread by 3 points? you're simply a fool for even trying to further this debate. Work on your reading comprehension.

You are right.

Mindless accusations (against someone you can not possibly know anything about) certainly disprove all the points I made above without even addressing one of them.

I bow to the superior mind

I can show you plenty of games where Dirk shot 100% of his free throws and this should be expected. He hit 68 consecutive freethrows breaking his own franchise record. Its not anything new that the man can easily get to the line any time he wants to hes an animal at drawing fouls. The last 5 out of 6 games he hit 100% of his FT.
before he got injured he played OKC and hit 14-15 FT and got 34 points .600 FG%. He always plays great against OKC.

[FindTheLock]

Spend some time reading and comprehending. I have not seen any points that you have made whatsoever. You're really not able to understand are you? Which may or may not be your fault. I am not trying to make fun of you or belittle you. I just don't get how you can not comprehend what has been said here. The very idea of arguing with me because I said No one could have predicted that monster game from dirk, and then to have you and someone else say that ANYONE could have predicted it is just inconceivable to me. Dirk only took about 13 shots from the field and had 48 points. He went 24 for 24 from the free throw line. Are you up to date with all of this? Now let's take a look at the spread. -6 right? Dallas won the game by 9 did they not? So with dirk having a monster game shooting an unprecedented 100 percent on 24 free throw attempts which is a record, you expect me to concede that ANYONE could have predicted that? And you also expect me to concede that MY point, which was that no one could have calculated Dirk having said MONSTER night in their handicapping, which actually set a record, meaning that it has never been done before, was not in fact my point? Now you want me to exchange words with you about some type of point that you allegedly made? I think that my assumptions about you are right where they need to be. Until you can prove to me that you're just not able to understand do to English being your second language or something, I will carry on, and I suggest you do the same.

ok going 14-15 or getting 35 isn't the same as going 24-24 FT line with 48 points. I am not saying dirk doesn't get his on the regular. I am simply saying that tonight he had an epic night which set a record, and that the spread was only covered by 3 points even after that.

Oh no i agree he definitely had an epic night and played like a fcuking beast and should be commended for that. But he does tend to hit all of his FT and he is great at drawing fouls plus no one can really guard him on OKC its a real mismatch. Im just thinking to take dallas for the next one to because since RW had such a horrible game and when this happens hell try to play hero the next game and try to take over. This usually means KD gives up and RW loses the game for the team, we've seen it over and over again. Im going to look into it more, and i dont expect Dirk to have that many FT or points but he will score atleast 30 and his team will pick up the slack imo.
