OKC is going to bury the entire forum

[Goat Milk]

the glove did get one....that slipped me.

Stop. You know deep down Lebron will win a ring. You're saying that 8 years down the line, Lebron of course will be in the MVP discussion in 5/8 years at least, he won't win 1 ring? That's absurd. Once a guy like Lebron tastes glory, he's not looking back.

But if he loses this year, it could cripple him for a year or two. But still, the guy can't get injured, and Kobe will be gone soon, and he'll be like the veteran around when Kobe and Wade and Duncan and Pierce and all them are gone...

Then who's going to get inside Lebron's head and mess him up mentally--which is the only thing that will stop him from winning? Rose? Durant? Durant already was honest and came out oublically and said Lebron is better than him.

I say he wins 3 rings for his career. Which puts him at Kobe status.

[BigDofBA]

BigD you going to game 1?

Doubt it. My buddy that works for the team already gave his tickets to his wife's family and tickets are hard to come by.

I leave Okie land next Sunday because I have to be in Denver an entire week for business. My posting might drop during that period but I'll check in each night for the entertainment.

and the fact that he has 8 years left of domination (and no rings yet) is a crime considering how talented he is....

but perhaps that game 6 performance will be the turning point for him....that was a pressure packed game, and he did carry his team. still would love to see him win close games at at the end with clutch shots.

To no surprise, early bets all over OKC. Squares will eat up Miami tomorrow and the next day.

[Devin22]

I have to admit that Pauulzcappin is funny cause he has that "Thumbs up Smiling Avatar" and usually he puts in a live bet that he gets buried on! I know, I shouldn't laugh but it's funny. All I think about is that smiling Thumbs Up Avatar and then gets buried. No worries Paul, I lose too, sometimes.

Those still are pretty crappy records for both of you

like this:

that video didn't show up. but yeah some clutch shots would elevate his legacy. I think though that once Lebron tastes glory once, the rest of the league is in trouble. It's all about getting over that mental hump. To silence the critics. Anyway, he'll win at least 1 ring no matter what. Carmello Anthony is the Karl Malone, not Lebron.

[Squirrel Kokomo]

Carmello Anthony is the Karl Malone, not Lebron.

I have grown to expect such poor analogies from you, but not sure if serious?

Not correct in any form or fashion. The 20 days I was banned I had about plus 32 units while you struggled to win any of your posted plays. Sorry champ. Knowing you went broke on Boston game 6 lock against 76ers was priceless.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

This thread is exactly like the Boston game 6 vs Philly thread. Okc will win series and you will forget it and continue you to think you are some basketball genius. I'm up over 35 grand on the year in bases. Are you even up 3500 in a full season of nba?

how can that be verified?

[PickWinnerAllDay]

how can that be verified?

It can't. And unfortunately the challenge was fukked up by the fact I was banned for 20 days right after my coldest stretch which allowed him to take the lead.

The challenge itself was never really completed as it was supposed to go a whole year, but I was in the lead for 99% of the challenge and my ROI is significantly better. There is no clear cut winner, but I'm pretty sure I would have won as I've been destroying baseball the last month and he has done horribly on baseball and NBA is almost done.

[t-wizzle]

Dex don't even bother with the clown. Lmao at him saying I've struggled to win in nba. Oh and as for me doing horribly in baseball, I'm 31-29 +1.05 units for the year. So basically breaking even but not exactly horrible is it?

And you know that I was up 50-60 units in baseball in about a month and a half.

Then I had a cold stretch, lost 20 units and you feel cocky. The reality is, it comes in stretches. While I was banned, I had another blistering stretch so the results of the challenge will be off by a good 30-40 units, maybe even more b/c I did keep track of your individual plays when you stopped posting and you lost a shit ton.

There's just no point. You definitely would not be winning right now if I was not banned though. Just not a chance in hell. I won 11 of 12 last week. Average unit bet size 3 or 4.

And yes, 31-29 +1.05 is pretty shitty. I'm not sure what your point of that was.

[No coincidences]

Where did the series price start?

What was the opening number?

So we add a unit to well over a hundred units of profit in nba and somehow you would be up. Amazing.

Coiner I responded to your post from last night if you check back a few pages.

It was in the OKC -145/-150 range last night at pinny early on.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

You're not making sense now. This started well into the NBA season. Like I said... I would have overtaken you the last week and with the NBA closing, you'd have very little chance to catch up. You may not know this, but I would crush you in college football and college basketball season.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Lets not derail this thread though. Please explain why you are so sure that the Heat will go down 1-0 and then win 4 of 6. They barely beat a team in 7 that looked like the Charlotte Bobcats in the 2nd halves of games.

[BigDofBA]

I believe it was OKC -150 then it got pounded to OKC -165.

Also, I'm pretty sure squares don't pound the line that early.

[lakerboy]

Didn't spurs start -165 and go to -198?

[No coincidences]

Exactly.

Someone said the series price actually opened at -120.

[Goat Milk]

grown to expect? you've been here 1 month. lol. yes, i don't think carmello will ever win a ring. no defense, just like karl malone.

I think his reasoning was becuase Lebron would shut down Durant even though Durant averaged 30 against the Heat this year and led the NBA in scoring.

I would like to say that shutting down Durant doesn't mean you neccessarily shut down OKC. Also, OKC has homecourt and has yet to lose at home in the playoffs.

Miami has struggled and they haven't played near the competition OKC has. That's all I'm saying. I'm sure why anyone that backs OKC is an idiot like T-wizz is saying.

What Sharps Think About the NBA Finals: OKC vs. Miami

"As soon as opening lines went up late Saturday Night, sharps made their opinions and intentions very clear for the NBA Championship series involving the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat. They think Oklahoma City is the better team…and the early money is confident Oklahoma City is going to win the series!
The series price opened at OKC -125, which surprised casual followers who assume Miami is going to be a favorite in every series they play. Oddsmakers knew the sharps were likely to prefer the Thunder based on their own abilities to anticipate the market. But, an opener of -125 got hit anyway! The line quickly rose past the 130’s and 140’s and into the 150’s before settling at the -160 price we see as we go to press.

[BigDofBA]

Exactly.

Someone said the series price actually opened at -120.

It may have been -145.

I expected OKC to be a favorite but I didn't think they would be this big of a favorite. What do you think No Coin? I'm not nearly as impressed with Miami as other people are.

I feel like OKC's had harder tests with the Lakers and Spurs, two teams that have combined for like 9 championships.

[t-wizzle]

The money coming in on Thunder last night was from OKC backers who were getting their bets in before OKC wins Game 1. If you take a look around the forum you will find thread after thread saying to take OKC series and how it's easy money and all that nonsense.

Coiner you know that everyone loves OKC. People love Durant and want to see him overtake James as the best player in the game. In the minds of many he is already better than James but that is nonsense. Oh and btw I am not a Lebron fan.

There you go.

[t-wizzle]

BigD and Kerry, feel free to go into my nba thread if you want to see more reasons why I like Miami in this series. It's all there.

The statement I highlighted in red is pretty funny considering T-Wizz said Miami would and should be favored like two days ago.

Now he thinks OKC backers are idiot for liking OKC>

Didn't spurs start -165 and go to -198?

And didn't Spurs win Game 1 (and Game 2 for that matter).

Spurs backers knew the best series price they were going to get was pre-Game 1 just like OKC backers know that this is the best price they are going to get.
