NBA Betting: Vol. 2

There's no point getting worked up over this; it’s only 19-15.
@Daniel Robinson5/">@@Daniel Robinson5 K.C. Johnson is obviously tearing it up right now.😉
I can already see these endless adjustments being made just to stretch this out to a 3:29 finish, all in the interest of keeping the series going.🤦

wiredcanyon39 said:Man, betting on the NBA is such a headache right now. The Orlando Magic are a total mess—Dwight Howard is basically pushing for a coaching change, and they're playing without Anderson. Just when you think they might at least cover a spread against the New York Knicks, the Magic pull a start like this. 🙂

I guess I called it too early, because now it’s only +8. If they just keep playing like this, we might be okay.

Slowly bringing Carmelo Anthony toward the rim

Man, the Orlando Magic are absolutely loaded right now. I seriously can't afford to miss this game.

Right before the group stage kicked off, I paired up some picks from the forum and hit the Nate Monroe over and Paul Pierce under. Off to a solid start—Nate Monroe is sitting at 9 and Carmelo Anthony is at 14. Now we’re just sitting here waiting on Luol Deng.🙂

get us in on this one

That three-pointer is going to be huge for the Orlando Magic's confidence.

The New York Knicks managed to pull ahead by 15 points in their last matchup, and I am sincerely hoping they can replicate that kind of momentum this time around. 😬

I doubt I'll even see Deng play if he actually decides to show up, so I decided to pass on him entirely.
Honestly, I really hope I'm wrong about this.

Now I'm just sitting here wondering if that Orlando +3.5 is going to hold or not, since they clearly look capable. It's a shame I didn't stick with the 15; this three-point spread at the end has me worried they might gain some unwanted momentum.
I'm not even watching the game live—well, I am, but I've barely seen anything. He's only taken two shots so far. What on earth is happening out there? 😲

Honestly, I really hope I'm wrong about this one.

At this point, I couldn't care less if that +3.5 covers or not since it looks totally doable. It’s a shame it didn't stay at 15; this three-point spread at the end has me worried they might get too cocky.
I'm not even watching the game closely—well, I mean, I am watching, but I see he's only taken two shots. What on earth is happening out there?! 😲

Chandler is giving him a hard time.

And I think Daniel Robinson5 was referring to the fact that Deng is stuck guarding Paul Pierce.🙂

Aha. Wait, are we talking about the same Chandler who skipped the game in Philly? Good grief, his performance there was absolutely abysmal.
Now let's see what this loser was actually thinking.
Let's ask him: hey, Daniel Robinson5, what were you actually going for there—Deng or Pierce?

Looks like the Washington Wizards are proving once again why they’re one of the absolute worst teams in the NBA.☕

So let's see what this loser actually meant.
Let's ask him: hey Daniel Robinson5, what were you thinking, Deng or Pierce?

Quote:That guy gave you his answer.

Arthur Hill2 says: I think Daniel Robinson5 was talking about how Deng is guarding Pierce.

☕

You really wrapped yourself up in all that, huh? And here I was thinking I actually knew you.
Hey, what if Nate Monroe ends up getting some minutes because a blowout seems likely?

graniteotter6 said:How did you manage to stay so under the radar? I really thought I knew you.
And hey, what happens if Nate Monroe gets in because a blowout is coming?

He’ll probably drop another five points in three minutes and we won't even care.😁
The thought crossed my mind too—if they don't hit that threshold soon, things could get messy. We'll just have to wait and see.

Paul Pierce at -17.5 is sitting at better than 1.85. Is that actually worth the risk?
Carlos Boozer at -16.5 is sitting at 1.70. Is that really the value we're seeing here?

Just pure wind against the grain...

Derrick Rose news: he’s sitting this one out, but expects to be back on the court this Sunday vs New York Knicks. #Bulls

Honestly, what a gift from those guys at +3.5.
I’ll just tack on another ☕ and I won't even mention 😁 anymore.

Can Carmelo Anthony just stop throwing away possessions? Is anyone even watching this game?
Are you guys seriously thinking Garnett belongs under ???

I need 6

It isn't about whether they can pull it off, it's about whether they actually will... and looking at the scoreboard, it doesn't look like it's happening, since they're sitting on a 17-point lead and there's zero reason to push it. I’m being dead serious here, not just trying to mess with anyone.🙂

I truly despise Orlando. I really do. I hate your sweltering heat, I hate your Disneyland, and I absolutely loathe that massive gorilla of yours who wants to hand a pink slip to a porn star coach. And I hate all three of you. Carmelo Anthony, I love you.
