You like Boston to come back and win ?Comment -
Boston's bench is way better than Denver's benchComment -
I have no interest either way. I was curious with the long Denver layoff.... and Boston having to grind it out... and have no rest. Who would be the favorite? Everyone talks about Boston struggles. I wonder if rest would have anything to do with price?
Yes Boston has a better record... deeper Bench IMO.... but they are a #2 seed. Denver is a #1 seed. People grade oddly at times. It just would be interesting to see who Vegas makes the favorite in this one.Comment -
Guess who would have hm crt advantage in the finals?
Yes. Boston. That plays a big role in series odds.Comment -
Boston -190 would be my guessComment -
No Ruppert Jones? You should be ashamed. Now, that's a name.......Ruppert
free agency on November 7, 1983, Jones found no takers, so he headed to camp with the Pittsburgh Pirates and hit .370 during spring training, but was released on the final cut. He found no takers except for Detroit Tigers general manager Bill Lajoie, who liked the thought of Jones hitting into the right-field seats and signed him on April 10, 1984. But first he was sent to Evansville, the Tigers’ Triple-A club, before getting a second chance. His chance came in early June, when he was called up. He hit a three-run homer in his second game back to beat Toronto 5-3. Jones hit five homers and batted .283 in his first 20 games back. He platooned with Larry Herndon for the remainder of year, ending the season with 12 homers, 37 RBIs, and a .284 average. Four of his home runs either won a game or put the Tigers in the lead for good. Jones hit two rooftop homers in a ten-day span. First he became the 13th player to hit one over the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium, off the third deck in right field, which prompted Tigers fans to dub him Rooftop Jones. He then hit one on top of the roof at Comiskey Park. By then Detroit fans had warmed up to Jones, chanting his name,“Roop, Roop.” “I’m enjoying this, mostly because of the adverse circumstances I went through,” Jones said. “It takes a lot of support to bring in a new player into a situation of this magnitude, when nobody else was willing to bring me into any situation, let alone a winning one. I’m not bitter about what I went through, however. All good things happen for a reason.”Comment -
Celtics -175 would be my guessComment -
Boston ain't winning shit. Dreamers. Jimmy Buckets won't let that happen unless he gets injured.Comment -
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
how many of the 150 teams who all lost the series after starting 0-3, were the higher seeds and had home court advantage as well as went to the finals the year before?
maybe 10 out of 150?
max 15?
the team that goes 0-2 to start the series is almost always the ROAD Team.
if there was ever a team that can do it, this is the team.Comment -
There's no doubt Boston is the team that can do it. Vegas... regulated casinos is a business.... how much money would they lose if they allowed Boston to win the series? Vegas sitting on a goldmine at the moment. Not to many people wagered Miami to win the series. Furthermore, do you think Vegas wants to payout all the series wagers when Boston was +680 or so? There's a lot of theories that cross my mind when it comes to this.Comment -
This is all I'll say. If Miami loses G5 tomorrow night in boston, they had better win G6 on sat nite in south beach.
Out of the 150 teams who went down 0-3 never to come back, I'll guess 10-15% were the higher seeded team who started 0-2 at home, so games 5 and 7 are at their crib. Boston is likely one of the most talented teams in history to go down 0-3. Plus, they just made the finals LY. how many of those 150 teams fit this profile ?
They clearly play much better w their backs against the wall (see Sixers gm 6 and 7 and heat g4) so all I can say is that if there was ever a team to come back from 0-3, this here is it.
16s never beat 1s for 35 years in the NCAA tourney then it happened twice in 3 years.
Look out. That's all I'm saying.Comment -
Homie, stop spamming... wtf. You went from dismissing the Celtics completely to becoming their biggest advocate all in the span of 48 game minutes.
Calm down, Lieutenant Fickle.Comment -
They’ll lose in game 6. Nba finals start June 1st. Didn’t want too much time in between that. Need that nba weekend game during a holiday weekendComment -
as i look through the comments in each thread, i believe my comments are amongst the most cerebral. just being honest.
they were worthy of being placed in every thread on the subject, a whopping three threads.
BTW there are only 20 of us regular posters here so let's just be happy we can talk to each other instead of people in our lives who are totally annoying on these sports topics.Comment
