Regarding this cockamamie deduction...
Your statements above dont merit a reply because you are delusional to even suggest that my theory means "The Lakers will win if Odom starts the game then checks out immediately".
...you need to somehow try and
buy IQ points.
I suggested no such thing. My context was your non-inclusion of the @HOU game as part of the Lakers record because Odom appeared for all of 3 minutes. Your retort was merely
because he appeared in the starting lineup (not mattering how long for),
that that game doesnt qualify. Therefore I postulated the hypothetical reality of the lakers wheeling him out for tipoffs so such games, by your own reckoning (his being in the starting lineup),
would not qualify to be part of this record you are keeping, such is the difference towards the final score that 2 seconds vs 3 minutes at the start of a game, makes. It, as a point, had absolutely nothing to do with any assertion of the Lakers winning if Odom checks out immediately, but does have
everything to do with the absurdity of NOT incl. games (or specifically, here, a game) he started in, irrespective of how completely & utterly inconsequential that playing time was re: his impact on the game.
as for the other garbage, who went belly up ATS in the finals? (MIA went 2-4 if you dont recall) Who made money in those finals (even killing on the MIA ml in live betting in game 6)? who made money through out the playoffs as an entirety, and as Dallas killed ATS in every series guess who tailed them through out? Of course your memory and desire to bring up such facts doesnt extend to your posts, it couldnt. It wouldnt paint the picture you're trying to sell (As for being wrong about Dallas winning the title, who cares. I get plenty of results wrong - I'm not someone claiming to win 100% of my bets. I have no personal interest in the Dallas Mavs winning anything, except where it concerns me making money, and my parlaying of my Mavs future into Heat ml live bets in game 6 made for a very nice suck-out of being wrong on that point).
Nothing hides the fact that thats all smoke & fog designed to cloud the issue at hand (your fudging of the lakers SU record without the significant services of Odom), which my hypothetical example destroys in 2 seconds flat (about the time it'd take for Odom to win that jump ball).
And as for this brain wave - the Lakers record will be worse without Odom than with it - what a joke. I could go to a mental hospital, grab a basketball fan, and they could tell me the same thing. This is about how the Lakers "are going to be horrifically worse" without Odom, a perception born of your hate of Kobe. Handy's perception of the Lakers beats yours with this bias, hands down (excuse the pun).
The Lakers were in their first season sans Shaq, down the qualifying stretch for the playoffs with their new team, when Odom - as a crucial piece to their puzzle - went down. The majority of those games that forge this record took place then, under unique circumstances. Since then this team has been to the playoffs, and that experience will serve them well - as it has already - with him out. So far nobody has put this team away without Odom (their biggest loss being on the current West Conf champs homecourt, and even then wasnt by a DD margin - wow thats really a bad look, not) - within their 1st 5 games of losing Odom 2 seasons ago, they recorded losses by 21 points (9 pt road dog, same as for that Dallas fixture I just mentioned) & 10 points.
Grabbing back into the past, bringing up grammatical errors (indeed, moot was the intended word), all to deflect present statistical fudging on your part. God, you are hopeless.
I wont be shutting up anytime soon.
Time to expose more basketball nimrods. ( I was actually getting lonely because the haters and bashers cant talk anymore )
