In closing,I reflect back how not a single ESPN shill picked Spurs tonight. Last few days. Same with other media sources. I use this as a sentiment gauge. I feel comfortable fading these. One has to take into account the tremendous influence they are on the betting public's thinking and beliefs. And subsequent betting behavior.  With,imo, numerous motives.  

well said, this next game really be interesting. Knicks virtually have to win, can’t go back to SA tied (but they can)

 This will probably be it. Really selective. A certain setup,so to speak, aligns best for me. As Ted Williams said....liked waiting for his pitch.  I think we all could benefit from such. Patience, discipline and process is the reward.  All else will follow...

 I don’t listen to the talking heads at all so it would be nice to hear who they are on before the match. I did catch Barkley at half time who said the spurs were 100% done and bet his house against draymond greenes. Always nice to catch the chuckster blabbing and picking losers. 

@TheJordanRules

 It's amazing how often these experts r wrong. I'm more of a football guy and can't tell you how many times,in particular, the college  game day panel unanimously  is wrong on big game picks. Often,their argument,belief system completely disregarding the possibility of a different outcome. As we all know,there's never any certainty. Only probabilities.  Listening to these shills,and not having developed ones own methodology,approach, major factor in seeing the tremendous nos of losing bettors . Always. Combined with variance,randomness and the inherent challenges in successful speculation. Notwithstanding, successful money,risk MGMT, which is the key.  I am a futures trader and there is some overlap between the two endeavors. And all attempts at successful,long-term speculation. No matter the vehicle.  The enrichment,growth is in the struggle,the journey. As Hogan was asked many,many times " what's his secret". Replying..." It's in the dirt".  After going broke numerous times. But never gave up ..and worked his ass off ! With a very supportive wife, and the kindness of Henry Picard .

Gotta love that 24- 8 second half  FT discrepancy. As a Spurs backer. Not unusual at all,right? Lol. As I posted,it was my belief there was significant " interest"  in making sure this wasn't going to be a sweep. Too many substantial revenue streams, in this immensely popular Finals. Ratings up 90%. I don't put a thing past these " parties", in these revenue,ratings and entertainment focused  sports now. Revenue obsessed.  Got a few grey hairs,have seen a lot over the yrs. Don't get me started on the NFL. CFB getting just as bad. With the portal and nil,losing interest. IN  68% starters thru portal,with avg age of 23. $27 mil spend.

Nonetheless, I am grateful my hunch worked out pretty well. And,Thank you officials. 

Looks like a bloodbath last night. As I referenced, I felt I was seeing extremely one sided  action,sentiment.  Across multiple outlets, including here. Boat was very lopsided overall.  Unfortunate.  And the handle already was up significantly.  This social illness needs to be constructively addressed...as damage is insidious and widespread. With shills like ESPN aggressively promoting.

 With as much as they pumped Knicks last night, Ive gotta believe many will think series gets tied up tomorrow night.  Maybe action is split, who knows but i doubt itll be lopsided
