NBA Finals Betting: Part 2

It’s almost like telepathy. I placed this bet earlier this afternoon specifically because of that exact reason.

Does anyone have any advice for the press? If Rose isn't playing, 🤷 we all know who is going to step up and take over.😂

Our dear Boozer is having a tough time against the better teams. Don't touch anything else—just stick to the popcorn, Boozer, and the game. Who do you usually root for anyway?

So, once again, we are going down together.😍

So, we're going down together again, I suppose. 😍

Oh, I’m well aware of those sub-.500 struggles of his. 😁

It should be interesting. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great game.

As for me, I'm with the Celtics—"proudly disappointed since '89." 😁

Ha, it seems my picks make people's blood run cold. Nothing new there, nothing surprising. 😍

Derrick Rose arrived at the arena on a cart, which almost certainly means he is sidelined for tonight's matchup.

.

I suspect LaMarcus Aldridge might really tear it up tonight... honestly, I’m leaning toward the over, even if it feels like a bit of a wild gamble.
I suppose there might be some tension between Spoja and the guys regarding Kobe Bryant, and perhaps even a bit of friction involving Lakers 2.

Melo is already sitting at 8 field goals—it’s going to be a real struggle for Vince to shut him down in this matchup.

It's official, Derrick Rose is out. C. J. Watson is actually playing, but honestly, it isn't going to make much of a difference.

Andre Iguodala on Saturday.

Danny Granger leads the first 2 baskets.

And in the second, he absolutely had to drop 8 points....🙄

The under will hit before the fourth quarter even starts.🙂 🙄

Is there any shot we see Danny Granger under 18.5 and Stoudemire under 17.5? After the first quarter, Granger was sitting at a measly 2 points while being guarded by Andre Iguodala, then he jumped to 10 in the second once Iguodala sat down :/ Amar'e is currently stuck at 6..

Man, that 2.3 line on Miami looks absolutely massive right now!!!!
Portland looks like they have 12 superstars in the first half; it’s not like we didn't have the guts to take the under.

This Portland enforcer is going to be the death of any bet on an Aldridge over, for goodness sake.

I placed a bet on New York - Portland (1p) 1 😁. Man, damn that Aldridge :SSS. Also, I wanted to ask—if I had Derrick Rose on my ticket, but he isn't playing tonight, does that count as a voided bet?

Spoja saw him with less than Kobe Bryant and Lakers 2

Well, I wouldn't say he's exactly killing it when he's shooting 2/8; I'd be more inclined to say Carmelo Anthony has finally found his rhythm.

Every single morning before I even get out of bed, I have to remind myself:

"DeAndre Chandler is playing for the Knicks, DeAndre Chandler is playing for the Knicks, he'll be in the rotation"

Someone please tell Granger and Stoudemire to start actually putting the ball in the hoop!

Too little, too late. I'm taking the over in the third.

The NBA drives me crazy. When you bet against someone, they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. But the second you bet against them, suddenly they’re hitting everything they throw... :/

Watching Portland tonight, I can honestly say after 24 minutes of the first half that this might be the worst opening half in NBA history for any single team. James Taylor3 might not sleep easy for a few days after this one, haha.

It seems like these Lakers are just a collection of bad bets, especially with Chris Kaman causing such a mess under the rim while some guy like Jarrett Jack lives his best life going 8/8 from two-point range... goodnight and good luck to everyone

pihhhhhh

If the Pacers had managed to hold onto that 13-15 point lead until the final whistle, we wouldn't have even needed to see Granger come off the bench, and the under would have barely cleared...

Ever since they confirmed Rose is out, the odds have jumped from 1.70 to 2.35. 😁
