Lol how can u think it rigged after a tip in w .1 seconds???

Johnny, so far so good:

*I'm still surprised the Celtics were +1.5 in Gm4. There was too much weight given to that 150-0 stat. Celts should have still been a small Fav in that game.

*Great win in Gm6. Props to White for following the play in. It is hard to believe he got that off in time, but he did.

*Still have to win Gm7 to cash your ticket. Good Luck, pal.

Watch this clip:

Stan Van Gundy said to look out for White on the PASS-BACK. He didn't mention the put-back possibility. Strus was a little slow on the block-out lane against White.

Strus' job was to deny Tatum the ball -would have been impossible to cover that much ground for any player. Another thing to note; what a stupid penetrating shot by Smart. Thinks he's a super-star. Should have passed it back to White but wanted the glory for himself.

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-28-23, 09:01 AM

White shot number one in sc top 10

i love watching the crowd after the miss then make

That was the play Boston drew up during the timeout.

The BEST coaches review this stuff to the 1/10th of a second. After all the Mazzulla-bashing, if he knew there was enough time to put back a miss, then props to him.

In post 152, I give props to Stan Van Gundy. Stan's comments foretell how this play might work out. Only difference is that Stan thought it might be pass-and-return to White (who might have been open). Instead wound up being a Shot + Putback.

**stevenash** · 05-28-23, 11:25 AM

Smart had a good look, and made a good shot, rimmed off to White for the gamer.
It was a good thought out play drawn up.

Good point that smart needed a good miss

if he bricks it no way it gets put back

He didn't have a good look, and he obviously didn't make it. It was a fadeaway 3PA going to his weak shoulder. Did well to hit the rim.

**IBetYou** · 05-28-23, 02:54 PM

Spoelstra hit the nail on the head when he said there was one spot the rim could have come off of for a Celtics rebound and that was where it went. Good thought out play... yeh coaches run plays for ugly shots in the hope of a putback

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 05-28-23, 04:01 PM

Good look? He was the 3rd option at best and just threw it up and prayed.

Boston I think have lost 5 home games in the playoffs already & losing a 10 point lead with 2 minutes left is troublesome. With that being said, would love to see Miami pull off the upset but don’t see it happening.

congrats to Johnny V and his $40 profit

i would have Celtics ml like this

gm 4 +110

gm 5 -230

gm 6 -150

gm 7 -400

This really wasn't too far off. Key hurdle was getting past Gm4.

Heat were playing over their heads in first 14 games of the playoffs. Think they've tired out.

It's one game, things can happen. Have been saying that I think a guy like Duncan Robinson would need a big game for Heat to spring the gm7 upset.

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-28-23, 05:51 PM

Well I was too low on gm5

and too high on gm 7

but ya pretty accurate chuck

**Shafted69** · 05-28-23, 07:14 PM

Celts will win game 7 and sweep the Finals like Red Sox did to Yankees in 7 & Cards in WS.

Johnny, cross that bridge when you come to it.

Don't under-estimate the Nuggets. Feel like the Nuggets went through more big names out West.

Celtics benefited from Bucks getting knocked out. 1-seed gone, Celtics have honestly had problems in this playoff season. Hawks gave them some losses, Sixers pushed them to 7 games, same for the Heat.

Because of the northeast media-bias, teams like the Celtics get more coverage. People conveniently forget that the Nuggets really ripped through the West. Jokic is best player on the planet (at the moment)...and deserves proper respect.

I'll be monitoring Series price for the finals. Will see if the Nuggets are disrespected.

Remember that the Nuggets are a new entrant into the Finals. They played in an ABA Final...but this will be their 1st-ever trip to the NBA Finals.

HEAT are winning game 7, no doubt about it.

Maybe they even dust off Haslem for a 2min stint seeing as Love has been dumped from the rotation

**Otters27** · 05-28-23, 11:58 PM

Odds were only 8-1. Seems very low.

When red Sox came back vs Yankees I think that was 15-1

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-29-23, 07:04 AM

I took Derrick white ecf mvp +6500

i know he was more of a game mvp but it’s possible if he has a huge gm and or another gm winning play here

Down to +4500 now

**asiagambler** · 05-29-23, 01:23 PM

Derrick White might not even play much if Brogdon is back

Terrible bet

How's the sex life working out for you. LOL

**Madison** · 05-29-23, 02:33 PM

Only question here is when Millar makes an appearance. Do they hold him to halftime in case they're behind. Does he get significant air time -350. I say pre-game to make an insane crowd even crazier.

No you didn't because it should be more like +50000
