interesting stuff...good post
A few seasons back... The last time the GSWarriors made the NBA Playoffs, they beat Dallas in the 1st round... but prior to that they were in a fight to the death for the last playoff spot and had won several games in a row... coming off a hugh win and having several days rest they faced Sacramento on the road and Byron Davis is nailing everything in pregame warmups... So I put a dime on the GSW to win... Teams go back into the locker room and I'm watching the GSW's pregame show on TV... everything is normal. Then the GSW come out for the game and Davis is missing... Nothing from announcers. They make NO Mention of his absence until just before tip off... and all they say is that they have no idea why he's not out there. Game tips off and Davis comes out in regular clothes and sits on the bench... WTF...??? MANY minutes later they announcers say that he's not injured... but that the head coach decided at the last minute to sit him for the game. That was the last time it was discussed during and after the game. It was never brought up again in the media... nothing.
"Coaches Decision".
The Warriors got crushed without Davis (in the middle of a hot playoff race for the LAST SPOT).
I have never bet a dime on a NBA game since then.

This is the game... during the 06-07 season... Only loss in a 7 game streak... 3 wins before... 3 wins after this game.
Unexpected and for NO Explained reason other than "Coaches decision"... Let's sit Davis and throw this one...
