Your parrot still loves you.

We all screw up. You can always hedge your series bet.

Sorry for the loss LT...as a Nuggets fan I was extremely disappointed in their play in the 4th qtr. One of the worst 4th qtrs that I have saw them play at home all year. Horrible shooting performance all around and 5 of 24 on 3 balls doesn't happen often to them. Too many bad/random shots taken. They had a great chance to take control of the series and let it slip away again. Still think they take game 4 though...should come out focused and determined knowing that they played one of their worst games at home all year and were still right there in the end. The bad part is that in order to take the series they will have to win another game in LA...don't like the chances of that happening especially if it goes to game 7 at Staples.

I don't know if you saw this LT but based on these trends this was no time to lay a big bet on Denver:

I took the Lakers at halftime but I parlayed it with the over. We all screw up!

If they could have inbounded the ball to Anthony with 37 seconds left, I think it was going overtime and the over was gonna cash.

What was the deal with that over the head the pass? It sailed over Anthony's head. Worst inbound pass I've ever seen.

out off all the gamblers on here i believe you can get it back lt.it aint over until the fat lady sings.

True...that is 2 games they have f*cked up with a bad inbounds pass towards the end of the game. I don't understand why the f*ck Karl doesn't have Billups tossing it in during critical situations.

As for the all time trends...they are not something I honestly use. Teams change as time goes on and this Denver team is no where near the team they have been in the past. About as far back as I go for the nba these days is to the prior season to see how teams have played each others as long as personnel/style of play are very similar. Looks like the trend came through though...no way I could have expected such a terrible 4th out of the Nuggets with them being a great 2h team at home all year.

The problem this deep into the NBA playoffs is that most people expect to see greatness. At least one of the teams has to rise to a level of greatness, right?

Wrong.

The four remaining teams are very flawed. There is no super team. Anybody can beat anybody on anybody's floor.

i give you props for admitting and standing by a loss without running and hiding. i do the same, and it shows legitness (word?) to be a man like that. very few around here do that.

jjgold · 05-24-09, 06:42 AM

Denver could of won by 15 very easily, they could not hit shots and had great looks. I think Denver wins by 20 the next game.

yisman · 05-24-09, 11:32 AM

no picks today, LT?

The question is how many games will they lose at home now.

Still think they take game 4 though

Agreed. They should.

You're nuts.

Would you like to bet?

j0hnnyv · 05-24-09, 11:42 AM

denver takes game 4 to go back to LA 2-2. thats a given.

Mac4Lyfe · 05-24-09, 11:45 AM

I still don't know how Denver lost this game?? For some reason LA just kept hanging around. In the first quarter and first half it seemed like Denver should have been up by like 20, same for the 3rd quarter then here came the 4th quarter and it seemed like the Denver players choked. I thought LA were going to fade in the high altitude but Denver looked like the more tired team.

Once again betting a Laker's game your not going to get the first and second half. It's always a flip flop. Stupid me I went with Denver 2nd half expecting LA to tire

a repeat of game one blooper with a different cast.

i still believe in your sound judgement LT

BatemanPatrickl · 05-24-09, 01:33 PM

Keep your head up LT. You are the most honorable poster here on SBR and one of the best cappers.

LT Profits · 05-24-09, 01:47 PM

Thanks Guys,

No NBA or NHL. I did post 5 MLB Unders.

Oh and had a +185 tennis winner.

yisman · 05-24-09, 02:13 PM

yeah, but you waited until 12:54 to post!

Too late for me.

frostno98 · 05-24-09, 02:26 PM

Denver will win the next 3 games and win the series if. Carmelo can get close to 30 points every game and JR Smith quit missing them WIDE OPEN freaking 3's.

suckatmyjob · 05-24-09, 03:44 PM

this will be a good match but i still think it be la laker vs cleveland in the championship game ---- who's going to let president obama down

plus if those the 2 match up then nba makes more money who really wants to watch Denver vs Orlando?

...and take the abuse.

Even though I lost my biggest bet (based on % of bankroll) in nine years last night, and it is compounded by what is now probably a losing series bet.

Sorry for the loss but you seem to have your head screwed on straight so I'm not worried about you.

Just out of curiosity what percentage of your BR did you lose?
