NBA is the dumbest league there is

[unde0087]

OKC turns the ball over, no timeouts left and no one is even going to foul but Harden throws the ball ahead gets a dunk to put the game away yet then after the dunk, when the Thunder had already appeared to quit, then for some unknown reason OKC continues to foul with zero chance of winning, in a spot where 99.9999% of teams would have just given up and ran the time out, but instead does just enough to make sure the game goes over the total. Not to mention Houston gives up 3 offensive rebounds straight to give OKC layups after they hold them to fade away 3 pointers.

Another day in the NBA, I find myself wondering once again why I ever put a dime on these scripted fake ass games, rant over, that is all.

[t-wizzle]

What is the problem here exactly? Houston made the plays to win the game. They deserved the W.

Ya, I know, they did. Not talking about Houston didn't deserve to win. I am talking about why OKC continues to foul with 20 seconds left down 8 with no timeouts to bring the ball to mid court, extending the game for no apparent reason

Games need to be speed up some how they take nearly 2 hours 45 minutes to complete a 48 minute game, maybe less time outs.

[JMon]

Oklahoma City will never win with Westbrook

He has great games but there's something about him

Don't worry, I only bet $20 on the total just for some action. I would never put anything on this weak ass league. Just fukin pisses me off how stupid half these games end.

How else were they going to screw my +7 teaser Fukr's were down 6 with 5 seconds left and foul. Blown more games when leading entering the 4th than any team in the league. Announcers calling them a great team. I don't think so.

[unde0087]

JMon, if you still need people tomorrow I will get in. I will have a big chunk of points coming from ncaa contests after the championship game.

[pavyracer]

This.is why most people hate basketball. The unnecessary fouling at the end to screw a gambler's under bet.

Yes...we have a solid group of cappers in the contest (small) but solid, will be a challenge to win. Would like you to join for sure!

That is exactly what I am talking about man. You put them in the same situation 100 times the other 99 they just would have quit but no let's continue to foul for no reason. As their dumbass coach stands there looking like a fukin dipshit when he could just tell them to back off. Fukin league full of big headed clowns.

I'm sure you have seen on my last couple of PT NBA posts... getting buried by final second threes. Sucks, but won more than I have lost this year. Bases is my sport and have nice BR going in this year!!

Appreciate the offer Jmon but I suck @ bases. I screw around with a few total teasers (blame DaManster) for action, that's about it. Thanks anyway.

Edit: Just saw your post above. Start a thread with your bases picks, maybe I'll learn something

I will join JMon...I dont bet too many bases but WTF else am I going to do with my points..fukk pizza

[Booya711]

I am used to all the BS that goes on in an NBA game so nothing surprises me at all...

I had the Cavs earlier and just knew they would blow the 7 point spread....but somehow managed a 9 point win

[iloseagain]

not to bring this up again, but i had spurs u194.5 last night. 19 pts in last 37 seconds to go over by 2. I also had OKC u222 today.. We know how that went.. Also had clips -6. Up 7 with 10 sec. Wash jacks up two 3s, gets both Orebs, lays it up with 1 sec to lose by 5.. I get screwed constantly in NBA, without ever getting lucky on the other side.. I dont even know why I bet NBA anymore, seriously

[daneblazer]

I wish they didn't have the playoffs. Just have golden state, San Antonio best of 11

If you guys watched the games you would realize that these teams come back from double digit deficits late in the game. 6 points is manageable in 10 or less seconds. Again if you watched the game you would know a team has a shot of still winning a game down several points in under 24 seconds.

Agreed, I haven't been surprised by a sporting event or result since figuring out how it works. I suppose when you understand why things happen like they do, it just becomes commonplace.

I can't fault others, however, for still viewing the game through rose colored glasses and then getting "surprised" when the results come in, after all it's a form of entertainment for many.

I get that, and I did watch the end of OKC/Houston. Down 6, no timeouts, 5 seconds left. Ball already inbounded, half the team walking around not even playing defense, Westbrook wraps up Michael Beasley. And he'd already conceded defeat, could see it in his reaction. That's the shit I'm speaking of. Small wager, no biggee, annoying nonetheless.

Yes...nothing really fazes me any more. Been at too long. Yes it stings a bit, but it comes your way also and we forget about those more than we forget about the stingers. I rarely watch games anymore. Just box scores in the morning when I wake up. I say "shit" or "sweet" and the wife knows if I lost or won. On too the next day. A line of coke without the rush.

[KVB]

I'm in the MLB contest Jmon, this time I'll pay more attention and try not to get DQ'd.

If I watched the game? I watched the game dik nut, why the fuk you think I was so pissed? Do me a favor, think just for a second before you post some gay shit like this. Did they still have a chance with 5 seconds when they fouled still down multiple baskets? Fuk you pal

[Pack Ya Bags]

Why would you take the under between Houston and OKC anyways ? That's basically a coin flip situation . Put yourself in the best situations possible when gambling

Thought I'd ask sworder . Ya MLB should be the only sport I bet, but I'm a degen Only hoping to improve on other sports.

I'm anti- season long threads....it's a burial in the making when on a bad run. Noobs don't understand a bad run on this forum. They want immediate gratification. I will post spots every once in a while like it do now...cheers.

Kraken, I am on edge. Never took loosing $20 so hard. I think it could be I am trying to slowly quit smoking.

Ya, if you're weaning down, you're most definitely irritable

This has nothing to do with the game, nor the $20, you know you have to quit smoking and it won't be fun nor easy.

I have the pleasure of meeting ex-smokers every day of my life, and for some time I always asked the same question "do you feel different now, do you feel better? and are you glad you quit smoking?"

The answer was ALWAYS the same "hell ya I feel ALOT better, and hell ya I'm glad I quit"

You're going through tough times but there is a huge payoff at the end
