In my opinion, to this day, that is without a doubt the greatest post of all time. Thank you for taking the time to share such beautiful words with great rhythm and style.

$50 on the Knicks as an offering to the gambling gods on behalf of Apache.

Bitcoin, not crypto.

Scal-

Life has been happening at a very fast pace lately so I haven't been on Covers much at all lately. Man am I glad to have seen this. This is your best thread to date and I hope it ends up in the archives. Once again, you prove that you are truly an asset to the human race. Absolute kudos my friend.

This has to be the best Scal thread of all time great read!  Not really a fan of Scals but this is a great thread with a great tribute.  I actually really like this play with the KNicks.

As for the pick, I took the Knicks at 5.5 when the line opened. I figured you'd be on it. Maybe when you get a chance you can look at that thread and tell me what you think about my idea of fading the tanking teams (Boston, Orlando, etc...) who are trying to lose out, and whether it is a sound strategy. There is also an article I posted on that thread that you should read.


Agreed Scal is a Gem!

AMAZING! I respect you so much for sharing this all with us, thank you!

I registered for this site today after reading a thread and appreciating the purpose it serves in many different ways. 

Suddenly, this is the 2nd thread I opened and it put chills down my spine. We are all blessed with a gift, but sometimes we are unable to see it. Often, so much is taken for granted and we fail to slow down and put ourselves in others shoes. We all have the ability to make a difference in others lives, and this story is a wonderful example of it. 

Very well done, Apache would be honored!

lets go scal----

-i might be jumping on the knicks +5 just b-cuz i rather see them in the playoffs instead of boring atlanta hawks.

-if hawks had horford then diff story but he is out, knicks are funner to watch with star power,

-Knicks remind me what the Lakers did at the end of last season when they were fighting for the 7th-8th spot, LA made it, kobe got injured and Lakers got swept!! 

-sounds familiar what Anthony and Knicks are going threw at the end of this season???

-this year new york is fighting for 8th spot which is better for NBA if they make playoffs but playing in Toronto is where most teams have stuggled in the NBA this year,

-ATS monsters are RAPTORS/SUNS/SPURS ect.......

- I am looking at the +5 line, but i might  take the ML or pass on it to make it a no play after my own research takes place soon

-thanks SCAL

I wish I could elaborate on it like you did but, my logic if the Knicks are motivated to make the playoffs period. Knicks +5.5

Scal, I'm hopin you are reading this. You asked me to tell you if the dubs were ever victims of the national embarrassment phenomenon, and I think they were last night. I teased them down to 5 and took them with another game I really liked. I would not put them in all of your bets (they are the dubs, after all) but maybe in a separate bet with something else you like. I combined it with the Blazers but that was when that line was 7.5 and teased it to 2.5. I do, however, think both the dubs and blazers cover tonight, though I'm not taking the risk.
