LOL at the end of the Boston game

I managed to get on 176 when the line moved to 174.5, wrote it off after the 3rd quarter and then it was magically on again with a few minutes left. Last few fouls were bit nerve racking and I thought the unders were going to be done.

Not complaining but that is ridiculous.

and we all still keep paying money to watch the games and give the bookies our money on top of that. I had over 174., lucky it lands on that. How can 1 explain an NBA team scoring 8 points in a Q?

I've stopped wagering on NBA until further notice. It's a complete joke anymore.

Bro, this happens every night. The under was going to hit no matter what. It started at 176. If you had 174 you just got a bad line but it was still the right side.

27 point leads are nothing in the NBA.

Orlando scores 60 in the first half and 25 in the second half.

did you not realize Orlando scored 56 in an entire game this week? Why is this suprising? Instead of crying rigged maybe you should, you know, do some research?

I was on the under.......

I actually made a thread about my reasons for being on the under and that was one of them. Likewise, I never said this game was fixed. I'm just pointing out some of the "amazing" things that happen in the NBA. It's almost a daily occurrence.

Oh, my mistake then. Thought you were one of "those guys"..

Just think it's funny everyone is acting like it's a shock Orlando played terrible in the 2nd half, maybe everyone missed the first game against Boston

8 is an embarassment

yeah, i agree. it took some misses by orlando and makes by boston to get the margin smaller, but once that happened you could see the boston's defensive intensity double, and that's when they tend to own orlando --that's no fluke, it's a trend. was just a matter of if enough shots would fall to give them that spark, or if the lead would get in the 30s and boston would give up. when the celtics play the magic with defensive intensity (i.e. especially in the playoffs) it's usually either a close game or a strong celtics win. i know rondo being out makes it a bit different, but bottom line is the celtics as a team (and doc as a coach) know how to play the magic tough

not trying to say boston was the easy bet, i'm just saying it largely depended on their energy and motivation, which yes they nearly lost in the 1st half. but even when orlando was up by ~20 i figured it would only take one decent run for boston to get fired up and cover (did not expect the win though, and i'm a magic fan so that hurt!)
