What can we expect tonight in Game 7? Probably more of the same

@MrBator

We had numerous back and forth arguments when the suns were dominating the regular season and covering....I was saying CP3 will choke..Playoffs are a different animal..U were like..Not this year..and started pounding all your Suns stat when leading after the 4th or undefeated when leading by x amount of points.. I told you regular season means NOTHING...U were like oh even if CP3 gets hurt or chokes..we have Cameron payne....Straight out of your mouth...not mine...

My God.....

Nick Wright of Fox Sports backed the Mavericks throughout this series. I didn't catch all of his commentary, but each time I did his conviction in an eventual series victory by the Mavs never wavered, not one bit. Tomorrow he will be crowing on TV as he readily deserves to, and as further punishment, I will force myself to watch and listen.

You just claimed that you told me in one of these threads that the Suns regular season accomplishments "meant absolutely nothing." But you never said that, "meant absolutely nothing."

@davemsh

Come on. Now is not the time. No matter how you feel. Nothing hurts worst than to bet on your team and lose both your money and heart.  

Shit happens to us all Bator...but this one will not age well...Screamin A and right in same sentence nevermore

Boy, you got THAT right, begginnerboy.   

It stung an equal amount to read that before the game and again after the game. But you were right, kimoinsd808.   

More hungry, more ready to compete, more everything. Great call.   

@davemsh

Please let me know your next ‘line read’

Jesus Christ. It's as if the game was played in Dallas.

Most wise.   

It's just one game, my dude. At least we don't have to sit at home for months like the Suns.  On to the next cap/bet. 

Tight doesn't quite capture what happened to them. We need a stronger word. I'm too dazed to think of what that word could be. Anyone?

He sucked, they ALL sucked. Unreal, a complete full team faceplant in their biggest game of the year.

Two different animals.   

Yup.

All things are possible for the Mavericks, Warriors, Heat, and Celtics, but my interest in this NBA season ended tonight.

 U got it Stan the Man.. Anytime Bud

You are a real gentleman for coming back in here and responding to all these trolls who don’t know when to quit or stop. Good luck to you, sir. And I hope this experience doesn’t keep you from posting your thoughts. Iron sharpens Iron, so it’s great to debate with someone who understands the sport on many levels. Win or lose, you are an asset to this place. 

Almost seemed like the cp curse spread to the whole team, never seen booker play horrible either.  shocking result.  They all forgot how to play at the same time.  They need to cut ties with cp3 if they ever want to win anything.

That is exactly what it felt like! The whole team seemed to be infected today with whatever is holding Chris Paul back from true greatness.

@MrBator

 happy to break even but i was really rooting for the suns comeback 

This thread is actually a benefit for the entire community of degen gamblers. It's cathartic really for me as it demonstrates all bets can and do lose no matter what the perception. I had Phx futures and lost, end of story. Actually, glad I lost it all now instead of putting more had they faced Warriors, probably saved me $5k. There are no easy paths. Thanks Mr. Bator for your confidence in this Phx team, it didn't work out but you remained steadfast, that to me says something. We all lose in the end, just hope nobody got hurt to bad.

Now let's go Mavs.

@begginerboy

Can’t agree more. One of the many reasons I have always respect Bator.  

@davemsh

Thank you.

Do you have a Stan the Man pick for this hockey game. I want to see if I’m on the right side?
