the nets loss: how hard is it to blow a 3 point lead in 10.3 seconds

Fiasco · 03-16-09, 01:37 AM

clippers lead the whole game

I was banging my head that the I bet the clippers (system play) and that they had screwed up yet again

I'll never learn

Fiasco · 03-16-09, 01:38 AM

and someone on the nets missed 2 free throws which set up the game winner

ryan I feel your pain I lost on the same game as you, but buddy its over get over it...watch a movie, smoke a blunt, drink a beer. If your letting the games get to you this much your betting to much money.

I wonder if Frank actually instructed them to foul. Even if the players were smart enough, why do it? Why foul when you're up? This reminds me of the Arizona/UAB game though that was probably one of the most idiotic things I saw too. Fouling while you're tied and fouling while you're ahead is both pretty stupid.

Ryan you've got 20k posts and have been a member for less time than I have, I thought 5k posts in 13 1/2 months was insane, but 20k in less time, you sir are an absolute degenerate, I will take your sports betting advice for now on

no, im not mad about it, i still won 100 bucks today bc of korea
i am asking a serious question. how does that happen. is the coach that dumb? i watched it happen and couldnt believe he fouled. even before the missed fts
i dont let games get to me, that stopped a long time ago.

i had uab that game by the way, kid

I was thinking the same thing when Denver lost by half a point against OKC the other day

bettilimbroke999 · 03-16-09, 01:53 AM

Yet people still fault Calipari for not fouling during the final 10 secs of the national championship, kind of a double edged sword

When they make the 3 and you lose in OT, how can you let them shoot that 3?

When you foul and blow the FTs then they make the buzzer beater to win, why did you foul that guy?

ryanXL977 · 03-16-09, 01:55 AM

but that was different. there was less time in the ncaa game. its one thing if there are 5 secs left, its a totally different thing with 10 secs left

and frostno, i swear to go that okc game was weird. i had okc+14 so i was happy, but unless you think kyle weaver has the magical ability to nail any open three he takes, i dont know if i buy it. but it was incredible, he HAD to foul chauncey to get the ball back, and then he HAD to take a three. unreal

These guys will hit an opened three almost all the time if no ones on the court guarding a jump shooter. Why I know. Because I've been to an NBA game and seen these bench warmers that flat out suck in the real game, nail 20 three's in a row during shooting warm up.

ESPN.com has Jarvis Hayes missing both FTs at the :05 mark, not exactly much time left, sometimes u just gotta give the guy credit, Novak buried the buzzer beater 3 after Hayes choked off the FTs, thats really my feeling about the national championship game as well, they foul that guy he buries both FTs then they foul Memphis who shot 40% percent FTs that game, they would've missed either one or both, then he buries that 3 and wins the game or you foul and he either has to hit both to win or tie, Im sure Calipari didnt want to decide the game at the FT line with the squad he had so he just figured let em put up a 3 and 60%+ of the time he wins 40% or less it goes to OT

ryanXL977 · 03-16-09, 02:03 AM

in the memphis game, wasnt it like 5 secs left
here there were 10
thats a significant difference because you dont get the ball at halfcourt in ncaa

bettilimbroke999 · 03-16-09, 02:05 AM

ESPN.com has Hayes fouled at the :05 mark, there wasn't 10 secs left, they had a foul to give at :10, then fouled again at :07 to put Davis at the line, swish, swish, Hayes was fouled at :05, brick, brick, then Novak slams a 3 at :01

thread full-o stress

bettilimbroke999 · 03-16-09, 02:12 AM

Every close basketball loss can be scrutinized, there's always a wtf how can they leave that guy open, how can they not foul, how can they turn the ball over, how can that coach keep his job, its really pretty much when your team wins its fine, when it doesnt ppl search for a reason, sometimes the real reason is in an athletic game sometimes it just comes down to who steps up or who blows it, that Kansas kid buried my Tigers national championship hopes but to his credit that was one hell of a shot

Fiasco · 03-16-09, 02:16 AM

that kansas kid is playing for the heat right now...

it was no fluke (but when he hit it I felt serious pain)

bettilimbroke999 · 03-16-09, 02:23 AM

Relive those last 16 secs, Memphis drives to the basket for a layin and pretty much gets intentionally fouled, he misses BOTH FTS with a 2 pt lead that would've iced the game, THEN THEY GET THE REBOUND, he makes 1 of 2, then the Kansas kid nails the 3, clearly this was just a case of hey make 2 out of 4 FTs and win the national championship, if u choke and make 1 out of 4 Kansas still has to nail an extremely high pressure 3 and beat you in OT (which they did of course), Memphis choked at the line, Kansas nailed the 3, thats just how that shit goes sometimes, fuked my Memphis bet, fuked Memphis/Calipari finally winning a nat championship, in hindsight its a miracle that Shaq like FT team was even able to be in that position, just shows you how athletically gifted they were to have a team of 40% FT shooters be 3 up with 10 secs left in the nat championship

Fiasco · 03-16-09, 02:27 AM

brings back memories...

haha funny thing was I was sick when that game happened and really didn't even care if I won or lost until I lost in that way...
