GOLDENGREEK's 2011 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD

[bryce]

Good job brother! I was on the fence with okc- Memphis today. Your post kicked me to the right side! I knew I was going big on under but I have to give you credit for pushing me towards Memphis!

[kbsooner21]

Wow! Nice call brother!


Is Memphis really gonna win this in 7?

[GOLDENGREEK]

Wow! Nice call brother!


Is Memphis really gonna win this in 7?

no.....ok city in 7

[plandbill]

Greek you continue to be the man, great call! You have no fear going against the grain, thanks!

[GOLDENGREEK]

PLZ READ CAUSE THIS MAY BE A BIT CONFUSING !!!!

I HAVE THESE PENDING WAGERS:

$ 600 ON OK CITY TO WIN THE SERIES
$ 400 ON OK CITY TO WIN IN 7 GAMES ( + 135 ) ..PLAYED THIS RIGHT B4 GAMES 6

SO... IM PLAYING MEMPHIS + 7 AS A HEDGE BET AND ALSO TRY TO MIDDLE ALL BETS

BUT !!!!!

IF I DIDNT HAVE THE PENDING WAGERS I WOULD PLAY

5* OK CITY - 7


AS FAR AS THE TOTAL....

6* UNDER 193

20* BULLS TO WIN THE SERIES + 165


FIRST OF..NOT A HOMER PLAY..I WOULD BET AGAINST A FAMILY MEMBER IF IT MEANT WINNING A WAGER

THIS IS HOW I SEE THE SERIES:

FIRST OFF ..NO ONE CAN GUARD ROSE 1 ON 1..NO ONE.. NOT ONE PERSON IN THE LEAGUE...SO ONCE HE BEATS HIS GUY OR THE DOUBLE TEAM ITS UP TO THE BIG GUYS IN THE PAINT TO STOP HIM , BLOCK HIS SHOTS, AND KNOCK HIM DOWN

IF HE DIDNT HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING TO THE RIM AGAINST ATLANTA WHO HAD : JOSH SMITH , HORFORD PACHULIA , COLLINS....HOW IS MIAMI GOING TO STOP THEM ??

WHO DO THEY HAVE IN THE PAINT ? JOEL ANTHONY , BOSH AND BIG Z WHO COULD ROTATE IN TIME TO STOP MY 5 YR OLD NIECE ??

ANOTHER REASON I LIKE THE BULLS...THEY WILL DOMINATE INSIDE AND ON THE BOARDS

THEY HAVE: NOAH , BOOZER , ASHIK , TAJ GIBSON , AND EVEN THE OLD MAN KURT THOMAS ... THE FIRST 4 GUYS I MENTIONED COULD GRAN 10-14 REBOUNDS A GAME !!
AS A MATER OF FACT IF YOU PRO RATED MINUTES ASHIK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LEADING REBOUNDER IN THE NBA

BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE SITUATION , THIS MEANS LEBRON AND WADE WILL HAVE TO CRASH THE BOARDS HARD... THIS WILL WEAR ON THEM AND TIRE THEM OUT AS THE SERIES PROGRESSES

THE BULLS YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS ARE NOT THE REAL BULLS TEAM THAT PLAYED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ALL NBA TEAMS GO THRU GOOD STREAKS WHERE THEY PLAY GREAT OR STREAKS WHERE THEY PLAY BAD..USUALLY LASTS 5-10 GAMES. THERE WAS A 10 GAME PERIOD IN MARCH WERE THEY BULLS WERE BEATING EVERYONE BY 20-30 POINTS A GAME....IM NOT SAYING THEY ARE THAT GOOD OR THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT AGAINST MIAMI....BUT I THINK THE BULLS WERE CAUGHT PLAYING SOME BAD BASKETBALL AND WERE ON A BAD STREAK IN THE LAST 2 ROUNDS OF THE PLAYOFFS...AND THEY STILL WON THEIR SERIES EASILY


FINALLY PRESSURE... DID YOU SEE HOW MIAMI CELEBRATED WHEN THEY BEAT THE CELTICS... ARE THEY CONTENT WITH THAT ? SEEMED TO ME THE EXHALED AND WERE PLAYING WITH ALOT OF PRESSURE AND WEIGHT ON THEIR SHOULDERS. THIS WONT CHANGE. NOBODY EXPECTED THE BULLS TO WIN OVER 50 GAMES THIS YR.. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND PLAY AS A TEAM...UNTIL MIAMI WINS AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP THEY WILL HAVE ALL THE PRESSURE IN THE WORLD ON THEM

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING MIAMI HAS 3 OF THE TOP 20 PLAYERS IN THE NBA AND 2 OF THE TOP 5...WHERE THE BULLS ONLY HAVE ROSE....MY ANSWER IS DID YOU SEE THE TEAMS JORDAN WON CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH..OTHER THAN PIPPEN , AND GRANT THE TEAM TALENTLESS... SOME OF THE WORST ROSTERS 1-12 TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP... AND THEY WON 6 OF THEM



SO IN CLOSING...

1) THERE IS NOT A MAN ALIVE THAT CAN GUARD ROSE AND MIAMI DOESN'T HAVE THE BIGS IN THE LANE TO STOP HIM WHEN HE ATTACKS THE RIM

2) HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THE BULLS INSIDE

3) HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR THE BULLS REBOUNDING

4) NO PRESSURE ON THE BULLS AND ALL THE PRESSURE IN THE WORLD ON MIAMI

5) PUBLIC PERCEPTION.... BULLS LOOKED LIKE SHIT SO FAR IN THE PLAYOFFS STRUGGLING AGAINST INDIANA AND ATLANTA...MIAMI BEAT BOSTON IN 5 = VALUE !!!

6) MIAMI PLAYS GREAT "D" BUT THE BULLS PLAY BETTER "D"

7) MUCH DEEPER AND BETTER BENCH

8) LEBRON AND WADE WILL WEAR DOWN HAVING TO PLAY D AND REBOUND


DON'T BE SCARED PULL THE TRIGGER

WHAT A FUK JOB ON THAT TOTAL





65 points in the 4th

119 in 2nd half

55 points in the last 7:39

20 points in the last 1:47

WOW...AND OUCH !!!!

[bigjimt]

And how about the absurd foul with 14 seconds left that basically lead to the final 5 points that was the nail in the coffin.


Terrible. F.
