The BIG ONE. Game 7 - Spurs at Clippers...Mammoth Playoff Style WRITE-UP capped right here!!!

I actually think gimpy Paul is what spurred them to victory BB (no pun intended). It's heroic on the court, but to a gambler it's scary, making his teammates turn it up a notch or several.

It was like a 'player out, other players step up' theory with your best player staying on the court and still converting everything.

And when that Paul 3 pt heave went in to take a one point lead at the end of the third, I knew the Spurs were in deep shi* and their faces said it too. The Clips couldn't take more than a 1 pt lead the entire 4th until that layup (which was yet another playground shot). Of course when that shot goes down to the very end, you have to worry about fouling but even that worked out with time on the clock. I was deathly afraid of a delay of game or a tech on the Spurs with all that arguing at the end there.

The Clips never got a substantial lead in the 4th while the spurs largely controlled it by nails and hairs and then, like the Cavs game and the other games on the list you mentioned, just gave it up (hack a Deandre was an option here or there but Pop was too ashamed to go back to it). Up 97-92, just make a conversion and your almost there. His 4 brothers stepped up and all the while, Paul was still delivering. The Spurs loss in the box score was largely a result of their sins in the previous games, by coach and players. 

Clips bench problems still mighty glaring (more than ever actually) and now you have Paul with a hamstring. If you're a Clips fan or are thinking about a Clips to win the West future, I don't know how you think you stroll past the well-rested Rockets and then have you know who waiting with bated breath in a massive series revenge spot. This team literally has only 6 guys who can contribute anything.

Dude, what the fu** is your problem?

Did you see the pick? It WON. The Clippers never even got outside the spread the entire fourth quarter and the Spurs lead the majority of the way.

I CLEARLY stated this one would be close like all the others and the said .5 point mattered. Who cares if the Spurs win by 50 or .5. Do you think that changes the amount of money you are paid for the win?

How many Clips bettors got paid? Only ML bettors and I guarantee you, there was about 5% of those for 95% of Clips spread bets as you simply have to swallow 2/2.5 and even 3 in that spot instead of grabbing -150 severely cutting into any profit.

If I posted this as a Clips win, you'd be here like the worst troll of this forum bashing the loss. It came down to the end and the spread mattered which again WON. There is PROFIT in my account. If you faded this pick, like you say you always do, you LOST. 

The write-up is 10,000 times more than anything you can write in 10,000 write-ups. And please, tell me when and what my last loss was? Do you remember it? Do you remember how long ago it was? Do you remember how many posted wins I have after it? For god's sake, I even said that Floyd was absolutely the right side when asked and even that won.

GTFO you coc*.

Gene, .

What did it take to sink the Spurs ML side? The Paul heave, the Paul hip shot and as you and I both know, (and this is not a complaint but an observation since it will sound ludicrous to many), the Paul injury amps up the Clippers already sky high intensity level in the most amped up of all spots...a playoff game 7.

I would have ridden out the Spurs series line too if I had it and I took some ML action with Floyd too that got sunk and there is no shame in that. The Spurs season was ended with one second on the clock. No shame whatsoever in either side or series bet.

But before you max out anything, just go look at the Clips bench production in the series. Look at the box scores. The lack of production is stunning. You get the most high-powered starting 5 in the league as you alluded too and literally hold on for dead life when anyone outside Jamal (and even he's fading) checks in. It will remain a concern every game for me when I cap any game in this series and am tempted to take the Clips. 

 Agree on all points.

And you would have gotten a good price too. But now, with the injury and (now I'm belaboring this but it can't be understated) a largely nonexistent bench, they are going to have trouble in this series, especially even in game 1 where Houston had a walk in the park with the Mavs compared to what the Clips just went through.

That was the biggest win in Clippers history, the most emotional win in Clippers history, and although we both are deathly afraid of McHale, the Clippers could immediately find themselves in a hole before they could even get done patting each other on the back.

Nice win scalabrine  

Ya know, when people write, "What happened to this forum?", they can look to a poster like this (and/or Fade take your pick).

What excuse am I making? I won the bet with a line available to everyone at the time of posting. It HIT. It doesn't matter if it hit like the Bulls Bucks game 6 or by .5 pt. I was addressing the Spurs outright loss with the Paul comments because I wanted to see them advance ... and cap them later.

I CLEARLY stated this game would be very close in some 2,500+ words, among many other things. It was. I have more money today than I did yesterday. Do you? Did you make money off the Clippers side???

You are a fu**ing fool and have always been one ever since your shi* face reared itself in General Discussion.

Do you really think you know more about me and BegginerBoy who 100% agrees the Paul injury actually helped the Clippers, something you couldn't understand in 10,000 lifetimes?

We have DECADES of basketball watching and capping experience. One of the great secrets to basketball capping is the "player out, other players step up angle". Except this angle was more powerful since the player that was out came back...and was still performing in addition to his teammates.

I say this:

Who the fu** are you to question us or even the most average capper in the NBA forum???

@Biscuit  appreciate it. @Hard

@Lit  Well done!

@Melos - what can ya say? We can beat these buffoons over the head 1,000 times over for what they post and nothing changes, win or lose...
