Playsoffs are amazing so far. Hoping Houston and Golden St pull it out, both super dangerous w/ the way San Antonio and Dallas are playing.

I posted in this thread they could win a game or 2. I think they win the series now, they could easily be up 3-0.

I really hope Memphis and Dallas make the 1-2 seeds pay. Memphis came back from 20 down in game 1 and lost game 4 in OT. I want OKC and SA out.

RockHardTen1985 04-27-2014 08:55 PM

I really hope Toronto wins this series, not only because I bet them.....
They publicly stated they tanked to get Toronto, I want them to get beat.

Maybe I was wrong on Harden. Houston really cant lose this series, it would be a giant disappointment. Aldridge is playing like the superstar.

The officiating is an absolute joke

I know its nothing bold, but whoever wins this Portland game wins the series. You cant go to Houston win 2 and come home and not at least split, and if your Houston and drop 2 at home and win 2 at Portland how the hell do you come back home for game 5 and get beat? This is the series, right now. And again Harden is a no show.

Epic Game Right Now.

I'm not big on the conspiracy stuff, but these guys just aren't very good. It should be one of Silver's first goals (other than throwing out Sterling)---improve officiating. These are not just blown judgement calls. They are just bad calls, period.

Not reviewing the horrible Ed Malloy call last night is inexplicable. How does that happen? These guys review EVERYTHING! They review three pointers when the guy is three feet behind the line, but they don't review that?

But forgetting they didn't review it, he did he miss that call? He is right there on the play. He said it hit Howard's leg...it was never anywhere near his leg.

You might want to ask the 2002 Sacramento Kings about playoff officiating....It has been as bad.... and worse, in the past.

Funny you say that. Kenny Mauer the biggest culprit in that 2002 series that screwed Sacramento was the head official Sunday night for the Portland - Houston game...it was like deja vu all over again.

NTamm1215 04-29-2014 08:58 AM

How Ed Malloy can call a ball off of Dwight Howard's knee 3 feet in front of him when the ball never went near his body, is beyond me. The officiating in that series has been so bad.

San Antonio, but Dallas gets 2. No bet here as the Spurs are minus 900. Actually if I had to bet it I would take Dallas at plus 640. Again no bet here, Spurs in 6.

Memphis in 7. Clearly OKC can win, but I dont love the way they finished the season. Ill stab $100 on Memphis plus 330

Golden State in 7. Not as confident as I would be with Bogut being out. But I cant jump ship now. Golden St for $200 at plus 320.

Houston. I like them in 6. I was hoping this series would be close to even. But Houston is to much a chalk for me to wager.

Miami in 5.

Indiana in 5. No bets straight up on either

Toronto in 7. Value at plus 140. Toronto for $100 at plus 140

Wizards in 7. Value at plus 175 IMO. Washington for $100 at plus 175

My finals prediction is Miami vs either Houston, Golden St or LA. My only strong opinion in the West is that I dont think either of the top 2 seeds gets to the Finals.

1-0 on series plays. plus $175

Duvalier 04-30-2014 07:17 AM

31 shots taken by Westbrook?

Pants II 04-30-2014 09:43 AM

It's all about Westbrook. Just ask him.

Team killer.
