GOLDENGREEK's 2011 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD

[FindTheLock]

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.

I agree this one might be a sweep too. Dallas, and especially dirk, is playing on another planet right now.

[WesJeffery]

Guys I respect GG and have made over 5k in last month because of him. Thanks GG. But I expressed my concerned to him about his 20* play. I live in Dallas and know this team inside out. They were amazing at start of the season then injuries came then Peja came, and they started peaking at the right time.

I don't see Okc winning more then 1 game in this series, Dallas has too mch firepower. Our bench is beast. Nowitzki ONLY took 15 shots for his 48 points, Peja missed a ton. Point being you can't outscore Dallas, we got Terry Jj Dirk Peja. If the line stays the same, then pound Dallas again.

[JR007]

Greek you will bounce back...you know your stuff

[M.W.]

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

OKC came into the game with the idea that they didn't want to get beat by the Mavs' three-point shooters. That meant not doubling on Dirk, with the result that there was a good chance that Dirk might score more than the 34 points he usually scores against OKC.

great day in bases yesterday which was wiped out with the nba plays

not gonna talk about that game cause i will come off sounding like an angry bitter sore loser

ill say this..since when is dirk micheal jordon ? 24 free throw attempts ? ..and I can accept that

if he was shooting / driving most of the time when the fouls were called ..fine.. But some of those where he was

just posting up and not moving... What the fuk ? You arent allowed to breath on the guy ?

The loss ultimately came when ok city went on a run only to be answered ny jj barreas 12 points in a row for dallas... If that dosent happen i believe ok city covers the game

shit .. We were a 3 pointer away from a push on the last possession

lets just say i wasnt happy with the refs at all last night[/COLOR]

[t-wizzle]

I was on Dallas and will admit I was fortunate to get that cover. Not going to re-iterate everything you just said Greek, but i hear ya.

[Townie33]

I can remember one foul that was absolutely terrible. As usual Dirk was at the free throw line posted up w/ Serge defending him. Their shirts touched and they called a foul. Obviously i had OKC , but yea the FT's were crazy. Just seeing how that game was ref'd scares me , i mean those calls were so one sided its not funny. ( * BIG SIGH * ) Its over now , just gotta let it go. Thats exactly what the books want us to do , is stay bitter/pissed so it'll mess up our next plays. Were w/ ya GG lets get it.

[WesJeffery]

I was at the game, some of the calls went OKC way also. Some out of bound balls, being called foul, jump ball being called foul. Anyways the games finished. Greek get the books in BASES today,

Dude, Played and coached the game for 20 years and unlike most who barely know how tall the rim is, you are exactly right... 24 FT's (Which he hit ALL of them, credit to him as I actually like the Mavs), but last night OKC gave everything they had, and actually had much more than a chance to cover, but as mentioned mini me Barea and Dirk just would not miss... the worst foul by far in my opinion was the foul on Ibaka when he semi jumped but landed straight up in the 4Q and dirk drew "contact" but faded away... Is it a call.. clearly... Is it a call in the Laker series... Not a chance... My personal belief is that the refs wanted him to get the record... Not a "rig" per say, but and half ass call was GOING to be a call until he missed in my opinion... but when the fk do you see a fadeaway get so much charity love? as you said.. I come off as bitter, which I am, but Dallas just rolled with the fact that they got EVERY call, and the ball kept going on, so hats off to them for exploiting it...

Even J. Kidd, open off of doubles or not Hit everything in site... jet Terry, who Phil Jackson said during the regular season once "We are letting Terry shoot" hit EVERYTHING... (We know where the Lakers ended up anyhow)

And off of a week long rest yet... anyhow... Dallas played great, but they played out of their freeking minds last nght, and it's hard to think they are going to get all those calls tomorrow...

[twelvejewelz]

I agree with you guys that dirk got wayy to many calls himself but do you realize that OKC actually had more FT than the mavs?

[Santo4osu]

GG who is your pick or lean for tonight?

[goldengreek]

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

Not when they call a foul if you breath on Dirk or look at him the wrong way

[goldengreek]

tail SJ imo

I got respect for SJ

BUT HE HIT 60 % PICKING 100 GAMES THIS YR... I HIT 60 % PICKING 1000 GAMES..WHICH DO YOU THING IS HARDER TO DO ?

AND I DONT BUY 2-3 POINTS AND LAY -160 JUICE

[t-wizzle]

What are you leaning tonight GG? I'm taking Heat and the under.

under for sure....leaning bulls

[goldengreek]

guys i respect gg and have made over 5k in last month because of him. Thanks gg. But i expressed my concerned to him about his 20* play. I live in dallas and know this team inside out. They were amazing at start of the season then injuries came then peja came, and they started peaking at the right time.

carefull with that...i have no idea who im gonna take in game 2... But consider this:

1) dirk had the game of his life ( 12 of 15 fg / 24 of 24 at the line )

2) dallas got all the "important" calls at the "important" times

3) westbrook played like shit

4) they werent letting anyone breath on dirk without a foul being called... Dude isnt jordan...not like he was driving thru the lane and getting hacked... They were calling those fouls on post ups when dallas was in the bonus ( hmmmmmm ) and on fade away jumpers

5) when ok city when on their run... Barrea scored 12 points in a row for dallas

6) last 3-4 minutes with the spread undecided...ok city had 3 chances for an and 1 and missed all three lay ups

7) westbrook missed 2 of 4 ft in the last 2 minutes

8) dirk should have been called for a flagrant on kd which would have meant 2 free throws and the ball


all that and ok city came within 3 points of a push... And had a legit chance to cover in the last 5 mins of the game

so..im not sure why you would "pound" dallas the next game

[RoagBettor]

Correction: I see the line opened up at 5.5, interesting. I will probably take OKC in that case.

finally someone in here with some common sense discussing that game. 2 other guys were in here talking about how ANYONE could see that 24 for 24 100 percent record setting FT night, tacked on by 48 points in total on 15 shots from the field. Just another day at the office I suppose, that's why this is the first time it's ever been done??? Spread covered by 3 after all of that went down. Tough to see that coming at the start of the game unless you have that back to the future sports illustrated.

[GGRIF82]

damn,let it go g.g. you lost
dallas again,dont make the same mistake again

[king9]

this is just all excuses for being wrong. everyone knew okc couldn't guard dirk and thats exactly what happened any good capper could've seen this

[goldengreek]

this is just all excuses for being wrong. everyone knew okc couldn't guard dirk and thats exactly what happened any good capper could've seen this

gl

[goldengreek]

this is just all excuses for being wrong. Everyone knew okc couldn't guard dirk and thats exactly what happened any good capper could've seen this

also... Do you even realise the spread was determined on the last 2 possesion of the game

dallas up 6 with 28 seconds and terry inexplicably shoots a 3

he missed and okcity most likely covers...

Even so, okcity was down 9 on the last posession ..they hit a three and its a push

you talk like dallas won this game by 30 points

[king9]

dallas up 6 with 28 seconds and terry inexplicably shoots a 3

LOL a jason terry 3 is inexpicable? DO YOU EVEN WATCH DALLAS all jason terry does is rain 3s at a 50% clip this playoffs

he missed and okcity most likely covers...

no! if he misses okc could still miss a shot and even if they make it they have to continue fouling

Even so, okcity was down 9 on the last posession ..they hit a three and its a push

DUDE YOU LOST. IF YOU MISS THE SPREAD BY 3 POINTS YOU CANT JUST SAY WELL I WAS ONLY A BUCKET AWAY THEREFORE IT WAS AN OK BET. it wasn't, you had it wrong, dirk is unguardable and that was the theme of the game

edit: I have begun to fade your 20* star nba picks starting with the in game over. lookin good buddy thanks!

[NBA_Brosuf]

I Love what you do for me.......

and for those who are skeptical about GG's picking, just wait till he loses a 20* and if he bets another 20*, ride with him.

Hot hands don't tend to lose hot bets on a back to back like this. Believe...we just got to believe.

[twelvejewelz]

LOL a jason terry 3 is inexpicable? DO YOU EVEN WATCH DALLAS all jason terry does is rain 3s at a 50% clip this playoffs no! if he misses okc could still miss a shot and even if they make it they have to continue fouling DUDE YOU LOST.

Looks like you're 0-1 so far... hope you're putting 20 units on these fades

[HR Paperstacks]

Nice bounce back GG, I had even more on the under tonight than I did on OKC and the under combined last night so instead of being down 440 Im actually up 60 now.

[LordCC]

Great call on the UNDER Greek, glad I saw it before the game started.

[nickos86]

1) Do NOT mess with GG 20*
