    I was actually watching the game.....and then after I was going about my life. Since I dont care who wins it wasn't important for me to be here throughout the game or right when it ended....

    am I good or what?

    I told you the play was to play the loser of Game 1 against the spread in game 2.

    This league is sooooo predictable that it isn;t even funny.

    I am having a monster NBA playoffs this year.

    the series is not over.

    it will be over if the Magic lose ANY of the games in Orlando. they must win 3 in a row to win the series.

    lol, well, stuff was tied into it I guess. I stayed on campus to watch with friends (girlfriend hates basketball so no dice watching it at her place) and didn't bring anything electronic other than a cheap cell phone. :lol:

    As for tix, I only have Game 6 and 7. Pretty much had to sell the majority of my playoff tix to prep for the MCAT. :cry:

    But I had a lot of fun watching it with friends. Doesn't beat the 46" I have at home but I can't complain about free beer and parking, the most important one of all. I'm sure Orlando will regroup and finally win a Finals game. Would love to see us win there but I won't mind it if the series comes back to LA, preferably 3-2, Lakers. :up:

    No.

    I do think Orlando will win 2 games in orlando.

    I love them to win out right in game 3.

    game 4 is a rough one that I won;t touch...but I do like the Lakers to take one and close it out in 6.

    lakers 4-2. IMO.

    which would mean yet another Sec.126 prediction comes true. Just the wrong EC team though.

    this Jameer Nelson experiment was a mistake. SVG's rotation has sucked. and worst of all for Orlando...the lakers have a better team.

    When Odom plays well, the Lakers are pretty much unbeatable... so the Magic are minus 3.5 for game three... I reckon they win by 10... Lakers will take game four in a close one and then Orlando will blow out the Lakers by 15 plus in game five. Game six will be much like game two... book it. oh and where the hell is Gish? Not coming out of the basement until the Magic win a game?

    That is pretty much how it will most likely happen.

    I will continue this streak..and take Orlando to win OUTRIGHT in game 3...if I get a price. If not...I'll take the 3.5 points...(BUY IT ASAP..the line will be at 2.5 soon enough or less...alot of Betting pressure on Orlando)

    then play a 50/50 hedge against the spread...

    I am banking on trying to get a price on orlando to win...but it is not coming easy...(too many people trying to do the same thing I want to do) so taking Orlando against the spread for Game 3 seems like the bet.

    If Lakers make an improbable sweep, you've got no one to spar with then. :shifty:

    my sb has Orlando giving four points now. -190 straight up... I'm making a small play on Orlando to be up at halftime and at fulltime, that's a -105 line. Just incase they don't cover the spread at the end... I think they'll be up big at half time. They'll probably shoot over 50% on threes. If the Lakers don't keep Gasol involved, they could end up losing game four and five....:shifty:

    Your Kobe/Howard points bet isn't looking too good still, but let me guess, you are so far ahead that you can afford to lose on that one? :up:

    Gee, I don't know, perhaps we were WATCHING the game? I love how every Lakers fan is somehow now a bandwagoner. I got news for ya, most of us have shown our allegiances to this franchise LONG before they were good again. I sat through the Cedric Ceballos led Lakers. The Elden Campbells, the Travis Knights and every other scrub that has come through La La land.

    I relish in the three-peats from earlier his decade and will relish this championship as well if it comes to pass. Me, or anyone else posting during a finals game shouldn't bring up loyalty questions.

    You know what's absolutely hilarious. I vaguely remember some Heat fan or Orlando fan a few years back saying he was a fan since 86 or something. I nearly blew a gasket hearing that. Random fact of the day.

    It is still early on that one.

    and YES...if you have been following my bets ALL postseason...you would see that I am WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY up.

    You know...it's not as if I posted the exact bets I am making on these very forums before I make them..and then low and behold...I win...again. No...that couldn;t be right?

    line still at -4. Orlando is -190 straight up.

    Buying BOTH. this is like printing money.

    Got the hedge goin' though...couldn;t get 3.5..Bodog has not moved from 4 points.

    Lol, I watched the game too but it didn't take that long to post about it. Not questioning allegiance, I guess there's just more Magic fans on during the game itself. No biggie. Hope it's another exciting game tonight man.:hi5:

    Yeah, I'm thinking we take this one at home. To be so close in LA Sunday night and not win the next one in Orlando would be heartbreaking.

    You guys are seeing WHY Heat fans hated SVG.

    He plays Matchup defense no matter what.

    If he had a turd on the bench that was 7 feet...he would bring it in to play another 7 footer. he does not believe in creating mismatches...

    He has the biggest nightmare in the league at the #4. Rashard Lewis is quick enough where he can;t be guarded by most 4's and he is also big enough that if teams switch on P&R's..most #3's and #2's are too short to stop his shot. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Stan could care less about this.

    Do you guys even realize how unstoppable P&R's with Hedo and Rashard would be? for that matter...Jameer and Rashard?

    But no...here comes another High P&R with Dwight Howard and a non shooter in rafer.




    Good start to this game...the pace is good...I should be cashing.

    One of these next few games he's going to go off. They're GIVING him that corner triple, which is his trademark shot.

    Nice comeback by the Magic, I thought they were in trouble after Kobe stole that pass with about 4 minutes to go.

    When you went to the line to shoot three on that fugazi triple, you hit 1/3.
