I know so many of you struggle with this concept, but Scal is 100000% right about that.
CG won the bet and at the end of the day, that is the most important thing. I'd rather have the wrong analysis and win compared to having the right analysis and losing. But it doesn't make him right about the bench simply because they had a good night.
CG, read what someone else here says about your critique on the Clippers bench if you have a problem with me (he goes a bit further and says you're 100000% wrong...I tried to be a bit milder calling it a mere blatant falsehood).
Again, there isn't a single word here trashing the pick. I didn't even care who won the game and if you'd did post your retort during the game, I take back the trolling comment. But that doesn't excuse the content of your post and your attempts to be the biggest swinging dic* round these parts by posting a record (a percentage I matched last year in 3 sports with, might I say,"a wee bit more" than a paragraph of write up with blatant falsehoods.)
You are not a poster here for shi*s and giggles. You are living in Las Vegas with a bankroll.
Man up and take constructive criticism. Being wrong about a stat, trend, or one player is excusable and I wouldn't even bother correcting it.
When you praise one of the weakest benches in the NBA, and one that is downright embarrassing among all playoff contenders, and further, you don't even know who actually is on the bench, as a reason for your selection, you are the guy who spikes the ace on the river and squeals with joy...only to be eliminated from the tournament a half hour later after titling because his pocket jacks got cracked.
PS - Your comparison between Hawks/Pats and Denver/Jets is laughable. One was for a win. The other game was already won and it was only about a cover for the opposing team, who didn't even have the ball.
Are you really comparing a running play at the one WITH the ball to get a win, to a pick 6, when 95% of the time the defender drops to the ground if they have the lead WHEN, if you had Denver in that spot, you didn't even have the ball and still needed a TD there for a cover?
Oh wait, you must have had Denver. Nice pick!
