Tony, water under the bridge. I was wrong, plain and simple. Peon= someone of low rank. Moving on so good luck brotha. I would hope that we are all here for the same reasons, to win. Too many on here are all about their ego.
We good bro.

And as an added bonus,Begginerboy endorses this pick and he's watched every single Warrior game this year and knows them better than anyone here.
Ironic that he chose the greatest Warrior season of all time, now and forever, to quit gambling! You'd have a huge bankroll now BB if ya just held out but, I'm guessing your happier as you hinted at.
Nice hit, buddy. Game of the conference finals was always going to be tricky for the Warriors, because of their winning ways against OKC and the Spurs. I thought they had a chance to "steal" the game last night (which would have been huge), as the Thunder reverted to their old ways. But the Warriors looked jittery (which does not bode well). The best they can hope for now (imo) is to get to 2-2 with game 5 at home.
Ironically, though I stopped gambling, I get just as worked up when the Warriors play, though there is no tilting or psychological hangover after losses. I really, really want them to win it this year. I think if they don't, the label that they were "lucky" last year will stick with them. They need this to cement their legacy and shut Barkley up, once and for all. He was insufferable last night. Gloating as he was.
I think the x-factor is Adams. He is a monster. I'm hoping this controversy with his comments will affect him adversely (at least for a couple of games). I really see the Warriors as underdogs now. When you can put 4 players out there that are 6'9 or taller (Ibaka, Kanter, Adams, Durant) who can move and have quickness, and a guard (Westbrook) that rebounds like a center, and two of those guys are two of the best ballers on the planet, you should be the favorite. The only reason they aren't is because of the mistakes they make (bad shots, turnovers, etc). But last night it was the Warriors who played like the Thunder (or matched them in futility during crunch time).

Just PLEASE don't ever say Vegas doesn't know what to do.
History has proven, they may lose battles but they will always win the war.
All that aside, great call.
I was on them myself (not as confodent as you were) and am loving this series match up.
GL on your future bets.
They absolutely are lazy in their line setting in certain situations. Why do you think I post so infrequently? I am waiting for lines that are of extreme value to the bettor.
Vegas has to set 100 CFB lines, 70/80/90 CBB lines, NBA/NFL/MLB when those sports merge in two. This is in addition to countless exotics and international sports lines. You believe EVERY line is a good line or Vegas has taken appropriate measures to ensure the bettor doesn't have an advantage? Ridiculous! 4.5 would have been a challenging line. Not 7.5. Not with this OKC team playing the way it is.
Nice post-game analysis BB. I don't think last year would be a fluke in any way. Yes the Cavs were decimated...and then they won 73 games (81 now). Just as you said they would try to prove themselves all season every night. But it is clear Curry is not 100% so you have an out if they do not go all the way. And the Adams comments! Visions of Howard Cosell! Can't hurt the Warriors cause now can it. Plus the traveling non-call. Thunder are having one of the all-time great playoff botched calls groupings go in their favor. The inbounds pass, the Adams trip, the Green foul and now the Westbrook travel. If ONE of those calls goes the other way, who knows where the Thunder are! And when has Barkley not been insufferable...ever?!? I can't watch most of the time, especially when I find out he's on the same side as me.
Appreciate it Pro.
And Crusher, there is only one and there will forever only be one.... MR BATOR. Would be nice for him to drop a three in the forum for the first time in years just to see everyone go bonkers.

unfortunately,you know as well as i do that NOTHING will shut barkley up.....dude just will not engage his brain before operating his mouth...i find him likable enuff generally but my word he is dumb as a box of rocks....i cant believe he predicted the thunder to take out the spurs correctly...in all my years listening to him i can barely remember him getting any prediction right..
i am by no means a warriors fan at all but i too wud like to see them win just to make him look even stupider than he already does...you deserve to look stupid when you speak in broad generalities constantly and refuse to be flexible and change your views..."jump-shooting teams cannot win" has to be viewed in context and be able to be modified as the game changes thru the years....wud looove to see barkley proven wrong YET AGAIN.
honestly i doubt adams will lose one mili-second of sleep over that comment..hes a kiwi,he'll be perplexed and little and amused but it'll slide rite off his back....its totally surreal that one of us is having an impact on an nba series on such a big stage...unbelievable....and tho he has come on in leaps and bounds it is absurd to think that the landscape may dictate that he earns over 15 mil per season when his next deal comes up....guys like the admiral,ewing and olajuwan will be shaking their heads in disbelief at wat a centre like adams can make.....compared to wat the market made available for them.
