Has anyone made any money betting on sports steadily throughout the past year? 'cause I did! See how

you dont have to be a postup guard...and score inside...sometimes your just opening up defenses....and at times stockton could do that..but i guess your right...he was deff the pick and roll master...and assist leader obviously...by a ton like 5 thousand...i know kidd is second but i dont know whos after that

magic johnson??....wow are you serious he never posted up....who even is he???....i'm obviously kidding and i dont know how i possibly forgot that...good call and tim hardaway used to "run tmc".with mitch richmond and mullin...then had a great career in miami as well...another good one

the guy u mentioned earlier,mark jackson,is way up there in assists all-time...not da 1st guy dat cums 2 mind,he wud b one of the most slept on players in history."the turtle"...he a good dude,i enjoyed watchin him play.

oh,sorry misunderstanding. wat i meant was magic is top 5 still in all-time assists....all time post-up point guards he undisputed #1 easy if dats wat we talkin bout..helps wen u a giant tho

I feel like if the spurs for years played a different style offense and had more athletic players...athletic like "dunking ability and stylish moves"...people would mention them more with the best teams ever.....i mean people still do but seriously one of the most consistent teams winning games with the same coach for ten years....i never liked the spurs but man i respect them and popovich...since 89-90 the spurs have had only one losing season and that was midseason that pop got hired...starting pops first full season...record goes as following

22 years and one losing season......pop turned a 20-62...team to a 56-26 team the next year...though tim duncan might have had something to with that his rookie year ...

Mavin you are placing a $200 bet, but the bankroll has dropped below 3k, is this correct?

 

yep,they the ultimate success story built on hard work and team unity melos...u do realise that in that period you talkin bout they are far and away the most successful american sporting franchise in any league rite???percentage-wise....but yea if you aint"sexy"you aint getting on magazine covers and on the news....also counts heavily against them that their most important players(and many of their other too)were not born in the u.s........anti-foreigner sentiment perhaps??

btw the only bet i have made for tomm so far

i feel like taking the spurs as well....but both of those bets feel like "please pick me" bets....and sometimes that really worries me...i have to do more research on that game b4 i just pull trigger

@melosjumper

okc-9 and a half**.....and yeah melo i have to agree on the "hard work and team unity"....very team oriented, well coached, and every one knows their role on spurs teams..very unselfish basketball and work together defensively....great chemistry built over time...but then when role players between the big 3 have changed over time.. they all have fit in as good pieces because of that hard work and unselfishness..great play calling...its rare to ever hear a spurs player getting in trouble for anything....it's much like the patriots have built in the nfl.

Hi Mavin,

Love this thread, great community spirit and good contributions from all.

In that vein, just a quick question:

Your NBA record is as follows: (17-6 ATS,  7-10 Totals)

Do you think you would be better as a purely ATS tipper or do you think that the Totals will come back in your favour?

Keep up the good work.

mmmm,i dunno bout okc,feel like they pace themselves a bit.im sure they got bigger fish 2 fry looking ahead....question is do they still blow out while "pacing"themselves...expect wizards 2 bounce back"to sum degree"..theyre still atrocious but at least they nearly healthy now and at home.their defense aint the worst,its just putting up points 2 match thunder that cud b a problem...im mulling it over..u pretty keen on that number melos??

OKC-9-Well to start its oklahoma city vs washington...do i really have to say more. No i'm jk. ..but in reality it is a 4-28 team vs a 26-7 team...worst record in NBA vs best record in NBA. But as we all know any team can win on any night in the NBA and were not looking for a win, were looking for a cover....I will elaborate on this game and all the others tomorrow afternoon/evening... If i start talking now i wont be able to stop...

Washington is 17-14-2 against spread this year though....OKC is 19-12-2....I'm really interested to see NY/BOS spread....figure NY-7 maybe...idk when they just played atlanta and hawks were at home it was -5...and boston won...but obv ny is one of the best teams at home this year...

yep melos no-one gets in trouble cos they hav an ethos were they pick great human beings first,great basketball players second...like the basketball is secondary.not many franchises anywere brave enuff to do that.

gotta be between -5 and -7  i'm guessing

yea it'll be 7 in new york,melos...maybe more.public wud back knicks heavily over celtics currently rite??

Gary Payton

OKC+10.5

im leaning under for the okc was game. Im thinking the public is going to hammer the over, so i'm going to wait until everyone's all done if im going to play that one

Missed Suns last Friday
