Coming back like the Cavs did is a.........rare exception......... you don't bet on rare exceptions to happen....you bet against them from happening.
By betting on the same thing to happen in this game as in the Cavs game what your basically doing is ....what squares do.........they watch games on TV and bet the same thing to happen the next game as the last game........that's as square as it gets Achillies, I know your smarter then that.

Dubs down 16 Claw....Does that = rare exception? Borderline, right? Nevertheless, great comeback though amigo

Yes I see you did not make the play but you should never have even considered it is my point.
When I saw the Wiz coming back I was almost certain Hawks would snuff-out any comeback attempt because the Cavs just did it, highly unlikely to have that big comeback happen so soon again.

Yes they did, but that is only 16 points and remember it is the Warriors VS a 8 seed,
the Warriors set the record this season out-shooting opps in shooting efficiency by 6.4% which is the very first time any team has been over 6% and consider only 4 other teams have even been over 5% and the Warriors did it 2 of those 4 times.
Your talking a completely different team then anything we've seen in history, hardly a good comparison to the Wiz coming back on the Hawks.
Yes of course anything can happen in a game, but that is the wrong question to ask, the right question you want to bet into is, what are the probabilities a team will come-back down big ?
The probabilities the Wiz will do that VS Hawks is slim to almost none.
You'll lose many, many times before you hit one of those type teams to do it.
The Warriors likely have the highest probabilities of any team in history.

Claw, I respect you more than 99.9% of the cappers in here. You bring something to the table and it speaks for itself. You are respectful and you are here to help beat those books. How many others have been here as long as you have and can say that for themselves? Not many brotha. Mad respect. I've followed you for many years bud and I appreciate what you offer here. Just wanted to tell ya that.
Please know though, we have different paths to our process of beating those books. Last year your analytics had the dubs and I had those Cavs, not because of analytics but becuase I just "knew a few things". Sometimes our reads are right! Sometimes they are wrong. Ultimately though claw, you are usually on the right side of things and for that, I can't deny your success or your insight amigo. I'd be dumb not to take whatever I can from you so that I can add it to my capping cup.

Good luck today Achilles . I hear what you said in my thread but, I was trying to help TFS out. He's has a service and asked me to help him promote a little. I'm not posting his basketball plays anymore though . As far as Philly goes that guy has been trolling me for weeks, I just don't care for people like him. Never have. Let's get Pacers man .. 1st quarter hit for me..

So if this is coming to play by showing an inability to guard the perimeter, not being able to hit free throws, not being able to shut down the lane on lebron and Paul George sleep walking in the first half, then Nate McMillan, you, my good man, are a con man. This does not look like a team down 0-3 and this crowd should be ashamed of themselves. Not that no loud today. Yikes
