    Proof That NBA Players Dont Try All The Time??
    tonights game...the LAL could beat them by 90 if they wanted to...because IND is a 5th grade elementary school team

    but in the first half they BARELY outplay them by 6 points???????????


    oh...the line in the first half was 6.5 by the way


    makes ya wonder about the NBA eh?

          completely agree with you. This happens all the time, but some people just don't see it.

            no..but the least paid Pacer is stealing money...more than someone scamming SSI or the welfare system

                are they stealing money or are the owners stealing money? where is the market inefficiency in your opinion?

                  when the game goes final I'll post how much they outplayed them in the 2nd half

                  the difference will be unbelieveable

                  as I get older Im starting to realize the NBA is nothing but a bunch of thugs getting paid to play a playground game

                  Im not saying every player is like that....but I think 85% is a good estimate

                  The good thing about it is baseball is almost here...where men with integrity play the game and give it their all night in and night out

                                    thats part of the game though...all I care about is the player giving max effort for their paycheck

                                    for the fans who pay for their jersey...to get in the arena...for their shoes

                                    the sad thing is it took me this long to realize what the NBA really is

                                    but on this night I have seen the light

                                              Stop being so bitter. I told you that Indy was the wrong play. Lakers are meant to be bet on spot situations only.

                                                      Indy thought they had a shot when it was close, so they fought to keep it close. once the lead like 12 or 15 they knew it was over and collapsed. shit happens all the time

                                                        so you're saying that the result is because of IND collapsing more so over the LAL not trying?

                                                          I know a former NBA role player/assistant coach through work he is doing now locally, and he said no one in the NBA puts forth max effort until there are 6 minutes left, unless it is a very important game. They play the first 42 minutes to get to the last 6, which is why it is a challenge to wager on them.

                                                            can't have 1 bad/good quarter in the nba without being labeled negative on both ends of the spectrum.
                                                            a true non athlete would make statements based upon discrete periods like that.

                                                            yeah, all Good teams, MUST be good for EVERY quarter/period/half. they must never let down ever.
                                                            the same follows conversely for bad teams.


                                                            it really SHOULD be that EASY

                                                              thats what Im saying...Im going to conclude that the NBA is the worst sports bet you can make

                                                              I never really checked into CBB or NHL before but after what I witnessed tonight I think I might turn over a new leaf

                                                              for a team to not cover by .5 in the first half then run them into the ground doubling them up in ONE QUARTER is evidence enough for me about this league

                                                                    why in the fuk would I bet something where I know for a fact Im not getting max effort?

                                                                    its taken me 15 years to realize this guys
