NBA PLAYOFFS and Other Plays

[peanutgallery]

What up, BC!!!!! Missed you guys!!! It's been a while but I'm baaaaack!!!!! I'm ready to go!!!

I haven't been on the site for a while and having said that, I hope all has been well with all of you guys!!! Seeing as how the first game is at 6:30 A.M. my time, I wanted to post this play right now...

As you may or may not know, I'm 5-2 on this forum when posting 20+ unit plays, including a 25-unit win with my lone GOM in March. The reason I bring this up is because this one is very close to being one of those plays. For now, it's a strong one, but check back tomorrow morning as this is likely to be upgraded:

NBA
16 units - Boston -8 1/2
Boston is way, way grittier. They have the edge at every single position. Additionally, Mikki Moore, Marbury, the "Ticket Stub", and Eddie House are all serviceable subs. I mean, consider the opposition: Tim Thomas, Brad Miller, Aaron Gray and Hinrich. It's okay: I just shuddered too!

It will be a busy day tomorrow and I'm ready to give the books some major action!!! Wishing you guys the Best of Luck on your plays! Let's get 'um, boys!!!

Peanut thanks for posting early, I typically follow your plays but as an avid Bulls follower I have to disagree with that statement.

Rose vs. Rondo - I would have to think goes to Rose, the whole NBA has raved about rose and he's even been clutch in the 4th. He's the ROY and has the ability to take over a game.

EDGE - Bulls

Gordon vs. Allen - i respect Allen, though I think he's on the downside of his career. Creating on his own isn't as easy as it used to be for him and with no KG drawing double teams i think Allen is slightly negated. Gordon on the other hand is lighting it up and can drop 30+ anytime. Gordon has playoff experience and is in a contract year.

EDGE - Bulls

Pierce vs. Salmons - No write up necessary, I love what Salmons is doing (also coming up on contract time) but the truth is the truth for a reason - and thats the TRUTH Wayne .

Ty Thomas vs. Big Baby - Thomas is electric and has added a decent 17 footer to go with his game, he's just in his 3rd year but has also been to the playoffs and he has come on this year very strong. He had a good second half of the season.

SLIGHT EDGE - Bulls

Perkins/Moore vs. Noah/Miller - Perkins has been pretty solid this year and probably has the slight edge though Noah has been no slouch. Miller has experience and can shoot the ball.

Slight edge boston - maybe PUSH

Clear coaching advantage with DOC, and big homecourt. But I think I could make a case that the bulls are better at 4 out of 5 starting positions.

Didn't mean to clutter your thread like this just giving my 2 cents. Good luck peanut.

As a Celtics fan, I have to disagree with PW52 about a couple things; Ray Allen has played great in his 1st healthy season in green, and has not been simply relying on his jumper. I will take Ray's 60+ playoff games at 20+ and 46% shooting over Gordon's "experience" of 22 games at 20 and 41% shooting. While Rose may be the ROY, are we really going to stack up his 17/6/4 2-1 assist/TO against Rondo's 12/8/6 3/1 assist/TO? I will take the PG with the title. Toss up with Davis vs Thomas, but again, I will take 17 games at 8 MPG winning a title instead of Thomas' 12 MPG in 10 games 2 years ago. Even without KG-Boston in 5

Hey PW! Thank you for reading and don't worry about cluttering my thread! This is what the forum is about!!! I'd like to reply if I may...
1) Of the 16 playoff teams, the Bulls 13-28 road record (yeah, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit too) is dead last.
2) I see you used the words "playoff experience" to describe Gordon and Miller. Uh this just in: the Celtics are coming off of a title run. What an experience that was...
3) Rose over Rondo? Seriously? Wait, if playoff experience is such a factor with Gordon and Miller, where is it with Rose??? It's not just that it's lacking; it's TOTALLY ABSENT!!! Let's be consistent here! I mean, how many games do people have to see from Rondo before they quit underrating him??? What does the guy have to do???
4) Thomas over Davis? I may just give you that one... to be nice! But I see it as a push. What's more: if it's Tyrus against Powe, edge to the Celtics.
5) Perkins vs. Noah??? Excuse me for a second. Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Noah is garbage. He is not a legit NBA center. He's just lucky he doesn't have to play Dwight Howard in the first round. In fact, Noah is so bad that it might end up being Miller against Perkins. Perkins is gonna dominate that matchup.
6) Ray and Paul... Look, do I need to go into this? I don;t think so. Paul is going to shut Salmons down. My thinking is if you can limit Kobe, you can suffocate this loser!
7) Funny how you didn't even mention coaching. Hmmmmm Rivers or del Negro??? Rivers or del Negro??? Rivers or del Negro??? God, you know, that's a tough one. I just can't decide!!!
8) KG's absents has definitely done one thing. Give the Celtic bench more minutes. The bench edge goes to the Celtics.

Again thanks! I love talking sports with y'all! Please stay tuned. I may upgrade this play.

Hey guys, I'm doing it. It just made a top play by a razor margin. But a razor margin is still a margin:

NBA
GOM
25 units - Boston Celtics -8 1/2

Worst. Half. Ever. If someone told me the Bulls would be ahead at the half, I'd buy that. But ahead by 9?!?!

Adding:

NBA
10 units - Boston -8 (EV)

What a horrible, horrible start after my little hiatus. Hats off to the Bulls. They took advantage of the situation. I was a fool to forget how terrible Ray Allen is. I mean, I lost money because of his terrible play last year in the playoffs. How could I forget!!! He is the reason Boston did not win and/ or cover. He's a walking shit stain. Fuckin' retire already. You look stupid out there!!! I'm not some meatball that is going to blame the refs or the coaches. This one's on you, players. You blew it!

My GOM record is now 1-1 and my 20+ unit record, once 5-1, is now a mediocre 5-3. I'm truly sorry to all who decided to tailed. I don't owe you an apology, but you get one anyway because I'm that kinda guy!

Adding:

NBA
5 units - Dallas +4

Good Luck guys!

Adding:

7 units - Minnesota -130
List the pitchers (Oliver vs. Slowey).

NBA
10 units - Dallas/ San Antonio o186

Good Luck!
