One. You can't fade someone when you posted your pics FIRST! Two. Don't you have some lawns to cut today? Ge to be early so you can make it to middle school n the a.m. Three. And I doubt you can count this high, but show where you have won 100% of your plays SmallDickLoser! We all win some and lose some asswipe! Four. Now I am really at a number probably too high for you to understand, you need to do the growing up. You constantly come in these forums and open your big mouth!

In the second round of the playoffs 1Q under has brought me great success, especially in this series.  I will continue to ride my 1Q under play for the last time in this series.  So far they are 5-1 Cle/Bos. 
Other leans:
Cle +8>I just like getting as many pts as possible.  I'm thinking the Cavs are much better and more prepared than the Hawks
o/u 173.5>just a feeling

DevilDogTodd,
Learn to read and comprehend.  I suggested Kobey was shaving points, not "throwing the game".  I am still suspicious of someone who swishes 95% of his free throws and then hits the front of the rim twice in a row when those misses can affect the total score, but not the outcome.

By the way Kobe made both shots "accidentally".

Really Game 7 all day long, what about the lakers winning in UTAH in game 6? You don't think the NBA wanted that series to go back to LA with the huge fanbase that LA has and the millions of revenue that would of been generated? Its a simple as the mormons couldn't hit a wide open 3 when they need to. Boozer always folds against the lakers. If you honestly think its rigged you should stop gambling, jeez stop watching all together.

BTW not trying to offend anyone but has anyone but me noticed that the JAZZ are basically an all white team. Even the 2 starting "black guys" Boozer and D Will could pass for puerto ricans or indians. only 2 real black guys on that team are millsap and brewer. Just something I was thinking about the other night of the lakers/jazz game blazed out of my mind.

This post is hilarious. Kobe bryant who is set to make 136 million over 7 years and millions more in endorsements is worried about that point spread or total.

Think about that logically for just one second. How much money would it take to make Kobe shave some points. He makes roughly 210K per game and to risk his career on that kind of thing you have to entice somebody with enough money to make it worth it. How much is that? 50-100 million then you have to have the money to make the bet. Even then its just a better than average chance that you hit, nothing is guaranteed. so to think that NBA players are in on "it" is just plain dumb. Maybe, Maybe in the NCAA since those kids get paid nothing.

This conversation needs another thread but to throw in my opinion. I think its scary enough how spreads are set 1-2 days in advance and when some games come, the scoring comes down to 1/2 a point or 1. During that one game Utah vs Lakers, 4th Q Utah barely beating the spread, boozer was sent to the line and missed two freethrows that were NEARLY airballs. I mean if they were trained miss a freethrow for a 3point play (1 made, 2nd miss, hope for rebound) how hard can it be for them to actually miss and make it look like they were really trying.

One game during the NFL season a year ago, my friends and I were watching. KC was playing some team and after they had already won by 14 pts, the clock ran out and the game was 'over'. Yet watching Sports Center later that night, during the highlights they showed that KC kicked a field goal to, what do you know? Cover the spread by .5 a point. Up 14, game clock ran out, AND time was added for a field goal attempt?

MORE MORE MORE than enough for me to be suspicious.

On the side note I'd like to add, its not players that could possibly make the exact call to cover the spread. It could easily be JUST the coaches who are tiped and call plays they know will cause a turnover, easy point, or a weak play they know the other team could easily combat. Yes these players get paid millions and millions, but possibly perhaps they might not even know why whatever play was called and how it turned out. During game 3 of the Lakers series, nearing the end of the game Luke Walton had that retarded ass fumble and you saw how Kobe was yelling at him. Could it be the low paying players that set the game up also?

And have you not ever watched "The Last Boyscout"?

Interesting writeup by handicapper Bob Balfe who seems to be legit and honest one. But his picks relate to the rigging topic. Interesting read:

NBA Basketball
Cavs +8 over Celtics
It seems as if the NBA is scripted now of days. You have the face of the NBA in LeBron James playing in a game seven. The NBA wants so badly for the Cavs to win a title. If you look at game six you would see that there was no way the Celtics were going to win that game. Every call went against them. Cleveland also goes to the line a lot more than the Celtics. In a game seven situation you have to figure they will knock down their foul shots a lot better. I just think it is bad for the NBA to see King James get crushed and not make it a close game seven. He is their most marketed player. Take the Cavs

This sucks for me, I like Boston before reading this thread, although was going to buy it down. Then felt really good seeing CK on it as well. Pronk and Col Jim on Clev, and Baffle. This is tough game to call. Ugh...may stay away from side and play the trend that elimination games tend to go under as a play.

Inside info on a totals play is pretty bunk. What, someone said I'm not playing defense today, or the leppercaun is returning to the Garden to keep the ball out of Cleveland basket. Inside info usually effects the side of a game. An injured player that is not revealed, or a player is fixing game. Or a personal matter has been revealed. Now if your info is one of the entire teams was stranded at airport, or had a problem at hotel, or partied hard, multiple ones on the team, then I could see the total. What is this inside info without revealing your source, thats what were here to do is share.

ay w8lifter, they're just rattling your cage man. just let it roll off your back like water rolling off a duck's back coming out of water. i was thinking the same way lifter on the over and under. they will be pressing for every shot to go, in the paint you got guys going to the line, over is my play. other plays are cleve +the 81/2. seattle m/l, white sox m/l. probably parlay them all, but playing big on cleve +the 81/2. already played them big on the money line.
 
as always good luck to you all

I'm playing Boston, my gut, the better team, at home, yesterday I saw sharp money on Boston, also 40% of public only playing them and they are at home is a trend that favors home team. CK/Styles is on them. I'm going to buy it down though to -7.
 
Boston -7 forget the conspiracy theories here. Boston has a bigtime player in Garnett, so not like NBA is getting scraps.

Conversly... wouldn't the NBA love to have a return to the glory rivalry of the Celtics and Lakers for the championship, it could be one for the ages if it goes 7... think about it.. Kobe vs the Big 3, and so forthe.

With all this talk about rigging, hard to believe that NBA is rigged, with a MULTI-BILLION dollar enterprise at stake..... guess it's the easiest way to explain things when you don't win.
