Yeah, but you were actually claiming they’re tanking just to snag a better pick in the draft—do I really need to dig up those old posts?—and when we called you out on it, we pointed out how little sense that makes. A couple of positions aren't going to change much of anything once the draft actually starts.
On another note, teams resting their stars a few games before the playoffs kick off isn't weird at all—it's standard procedure—but I honestly think Miami screwed the pooch there. They probably thought they could coast through the rest of the season without their top two guys, which turned out to be a massive miscalculation. That said, it’s not about them throwing games or not caring about their seeding (which, by the way, could be huge if they make it to the Finals). So, saying Oklahoma (and Miami, for that matter) doesn't care about these end-of-season games is just plain stupid.
But hey, feel free to keep getting your "education" from Twitter. 🙂
Man, you’re still spinning your wheels on the same old points—even if half of what you're saying doesn't really hold water. Look, we both already laid out why those seed ratios matter if these teams actually end up facing off in the Finals, but hey, whatever makes you happy 🙂
Keep having fun "learning" basketball and NBA strategy via Twitter threads, though 😉
As for Portland, they haven't moved an inch from where they were, so I don't see much of a tanking situation happening there—besides, with their roster being so thin right now, they wouldn't be competitive enough to aim for anything higher anyway 🤷

Whether that actually decides the outcome, I haven't a clue—but playing a defensive game at Madison Square Garden, which is one of the tightest pitches you'll find in the NFL, feels worlds apart from playing at Camp Nou.
Sure, but for FC Barcelona, the length of the pitch doesn't matter one bit for their passing game—it's all about the width, and Camp Nou is only about three feet wider. Honestly, this whole idea that the massive size of the Barcelona pitch changes everything is just a common myth.

Looks like 14 and 17. A buddy of mine who actually knows how to use Google sent these over:

It feels like one of those spots where you just have to trust the volume—he's seeing enough looks to make this happen, even if the efficiency fluctuates. Just a little thought floating around. The Nuggets and the Suns are both teams that basically live and die by their offense—it’s all about the scoring with these two. But look, Denver’s defense is pretty much bottom-tier right now, which honestly makes me think Nash is going to have a field day today. When the stakes get this high, you need someone to step up and carry the load, and Jamal will definitely be the one digging deep to make sure they put points on the board.
I went ahead and placed my own bet on this one too—not because I was following your lead, mind you, but just based on my own gut feeling. It felt right at the time. But man, watching Nash today... it’s like he suddenly decided that shooting the ball was simply off the table. Just completely checked out from the perimeter. 🙄 Eleven minutes on the clock—zero shots taken—and nine assists. I mean, honestly... how does that even work? It’s absolute madness. 🤣
odg3+ @ 2,00 u HL (talking about the Super Bowl, obviously) 😉
You really ought to shop around and compare this with a few other sportsbooks—I suspect others might actually offer better value if you're looking at card betting options 😉
I wouldn't necessarily agree—not about the Bulls specifically, but just looking at the ratios. It’s pretty obvious their play is aimed at edging out OKC or the Spurs if they end up facing them in the Finals
Lawrence Castillo76 said:I honestly have to address the absolute comedy routine going on with some of these NBA coaches—I just don't get it. Why aren't they calling a timeout when they're up by three on a final possession? You look at the coach for Detroit last night, then you look at that clown sitting on the Heat bench a few days ago... it’s baffling. Honestly, they probably need to head over to Europe for some basic coaching clinics. And of course, both teams that surrendered those threes ended up losing in OT.
In that case, might as well go for the straight win at @ 2,25
I’ve parlayed it with a 2 @ 2.00 over at Fortuna for the Dresden match—basically, the away side is hunting that 3rd place spot to get into the NFL playoffs, while Dynamo is just stuck in that middle ground where they aren't quite good enough to climb, but too solid to fall. Threw in a hockey bet too, since those Litvanacs are playing shorthanded due to some penalties 🤷

Do me a favor and re-read the opening post of this thread—and my last post on the previous page too—so you don't end up complaining when you get hit with a warning 😉
