let me see your bracket/NBA 2008 playoff discussion thread.

[longballlarry]

maybe we can set up a fun slap playoff bracket challenge.
we can have our own little contest and make it interesting.
who's interested?

*raises hand*

[tiger woods]

i'm down

[longballlarry]

i don't know how it would work,
i think people have to set up a bracket first on nba.com and we can start a league.
but i'm not sure how betting would go down.
any ideas?

too late....shit starts in a couple hours.  A homie from Australia has a legit online gambling account, and we looked at all the lines the west is so crazy close in every bet.  I took Spurs/Suns to score under 195 points.

[longballlarry]

i think we can still set something up, it's just the first games today.
under 195 sounds like a good bet.

[Lance]

Also, after exhausting thoughts and research on the west I switched things over to the East (which bores me) but I have a feeling that if Pistons meet up with Orlando Orlando has a good chance to take that, theres alot of uneven match-ups in that series, And if it comes down to Detroit/Boston i could see Detroit taking it due to there experience,(In 7 games) and bitterness of the past.

As for the Spurs, they are playing hard, Its playoff time they are the defending champs, Poppavich is the best coach in the league, they play smart ball and they play together better than any other team in the league, and have for years.  I'm kind of bummed they have to play each other in the first round as this would be an ill WCF matchup, I'll say this who ever wins this series is going to the Finals. Spurs in 6...IMO

I can't wait to get out today, im going to the local bar this chick works at for free drinks and too watch the game, then a nice shred this evening....

[longballlarry]

what's the over/under on amount of technicals rasheed gets in the playoffs?

LMAO, thats a good one i wish they had, I bet you could find that in Vegas somewhere at one of those places that bets on the most ridiculous stuff.  This shit we got, is Aussie, so the American sports don't get as many "different bets" as Aussie sports, NBA, and MLB get over/under and straight win/lose (no spread) which is good enough for me...

[longballlarry]

this cleveland/washington game is turning into quite a game.

I don't know man, I'd take the over.

And in Vegas at those sport betting joints you can approach the pit boss or whatever they call the dude in charge with any bet under the sun and they can agree to take it if they like.

Nah, the Spurs only average 94 points per game, and theres no way the suns are going to blow them out and vice versa for that matter, it'll be a defensive game, S.A. will dominate, even with Shaq Phoenixs Defense is still weak...

[Prison Wallet]

Dominate huh? That's a pretty ballsy prediction. I'll take Phx and the over--you've got Spurs and the Under. Loser focuses their account.

no way, Slap put me on a long enough Hiatus w/o my account, I'd go nuts sittin in the shop all day without it.....A gnar to the winner and a kook to the loser? good enough...

[Prison Wallet]

Do you have a paypal account?

[Lance]

yeah, I'm not bettin $, I already have $40 on my gambling account on it

[Prison Wallet]

Naw man I'm just yankin' your chain... 

I'm actually a pretty cheap SOB, dollar scratchers are about all I'm willing to bet on.

all good, I tend to have decent luck with betting, and gambling...I dont do it alot, my friend from AUS. is fuckin crazy over it though, i guess gambling completely legal there, and he's been calling me everyday for bets on MLB and NBA, dudes racked in like $100 bucks the last 2 days on my bets...I need to start getting a cut of that shit.  so hyped on hoops though!!!!

EDIT: 4 hours from now see "things you are not stoked on" if the Spurs lose and the score is over 195

[ProjectPatrick]

It's gonna be Hornets vs. Celtics, with the Hornets winning it all.

[Lance]

BIG WIN IN DOUBLE OT!!!!!!!

[Prison Wallet]

BIG WIN IN DOUBLE OT!!!!!!!

Fuck.

[Lance]

Jesco i was buggin out at the bar, my homegirl was like your a nut....it was so ill....

[Prison Wallet]

Yeah me too. After that game I felt like I just watched the whole series.

I'm glad you didn't loose your $40 but I wouldn't bet any more dough on this series. And how bout that over/under? I take solice in the fact you got your ass kicked on that one.

[longballlarry]

wow, how regular was that phx/s.a. game? so sick.

[Lance]

that was one of the best basketball games i ever watched, and i seriously felt like i was watching a game 7 of the finals, gonna be such an ill series. I lost the $$$$ cause OT was included.  Im so hyped for tuesdays game but im going to be in Philly and probably won't be able to watch it.

[longballlarry]

yo apparently i'm not gonna be able to see the den/la game because the pope is in town and they're gonna be showing that instead. does anyone know if they're going to be showing it somewhere else, or where i can watch it?

nah cuz it's supposed to be on abc at 3, but since the pope is at yankee stadium, they're going to show that instead, or so it says on my guide. so no matter where i go, that's going to be on abc apparently.

[Lance]

ouch, live feed off of ESPN or something is probably your best bet til the popes done doin his thing.
