hmm all the experts like golden state but maybe they havent read that. Im not big into betting bad teams due to their inconsistencies but i think ellis is also out and with crawford not playing there running a little thin in the talent department

love the b-cats tonight

The experts like GS and HAVE read it - Jim Feist is banking on GS mainly on the fact that the young GS players will be out to prove something.
"Take "(876) GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS"
Charlotte is a long way from home, playing their 4th straight game out West. This team lacks offense and can't keep pace with uptempo attacks, as in a 10-point loss at Phoenix. Charlotte is on a 1-3 SU/ATS run. They take on a Golden State team that is going with the kids. "I'm going to give Jamal Crawford a day off against Charlotte so I can play some of the younger guys," coach Don Nelson said. The immediate beneficiaries figure to be second-year guards Marco Belinelli and C.J. Watson. Young kids are hungry to play hard, as they are fighting for a job and more minutes. The Warriors are on a 4-2 SU/ATS run and have far more offensive punch than the road weary visitors. Play the Warriors."

i wouldnt be so sure crawford sits
regardless, ill take gsw as a home dog here
if they can beat boston, port, and utah, then they can handle char

if GS makes a run from start to finish. Bobcats will have a hard time looking for points

Fiasco · 02-28-09, 01:14 AM

Bobcats are 3 back from the bucks for the 8th spot...

Bobcats rewarded for being stupid. Diaw intentionally fouls with under 20 seconds left in a tie game and S-Jax makes both FTs. Warriors would have had the last shot and at worst went to OT. Instead, Diaw hits a 3 for the win.

bobcats played better, and you're missing the fact that the warriors had the ball at the halfcourt with 2.9 seconds left and turned it over in a 1pt game which allowed the bobcats to squeak by with the W....

imo both teams played poorly down the road (refs were even poorer for both sides) yet the warriors were the stupid ones...

I mean you can't throw the ball away with 2.9 seconds left...

GSW should have intentionally fouled Okafor at the end.

rjt721 · 02-28-09, 01:23 AM

GS didn't deserve to win, I agree. Couldn't grab a rebound or loose ball all night. Just funny that Diaw ends up being the hero after making such a bonehead play.

Dark Horse · 02-28-09, 01:24 AM

That wasn't the end.

Diaw hits the 3 for 110-109 lead, and GS take a time-out with 2.6 seconds left. Bets on GS +1.5 should be good. They either hit the shot or miss it. No time to foul.

But... they throw the ball out of bounds! (Zebra Salvatore did his best to give the ball back to GS after that, but was overruled). The Warriors fouled with 1.9 seconds on the clock, and two FT's later the game ends 112-109 and a bad loss.

Fiasco · 02-28-09, 01:25 AM

yeah when he did foul jackson I was extremely pissed, even when he let go of the shot at the end... (until it went in...)

diaw didn't play well all night imo and shouldn't be taking that shot even though it worked out...

I was thinking of all the early GS backers who had +1.5 when the bobcats were up 1 (I had bobcats -1) and they turned it over... that was just brutal

I know. I'm not complaining, because I've been doing well, but some of the losses have been comical. Earlier this week the other former Sun - Raja Bell - hit a three in another 5 pt turnaround, in the closing seconds, that decided the (1H) spread.
After a CHA basket with 6 seconds left, Nash, of all people, was dribbling the ball up the court for a final shot. But while throwing up a prayer, with 3 seconds left (?), he stepped out of bounds. Bobcats get ball back and Bell hits a quick three.

Some of it is just luck, or bad luck. I had two miracle comebacks by DEN, for 1H covers this week, but that was skill.

how did u do?

Dark Horse · 02-28-09, 02:06 AM

Full game results 5-2. I keep record here, because it can't be altered, as at SBR:
