*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Right. Giving up 40 points in a 4th quarter are what championships are made of.

 

Having the ability to score more than 25 helps

DAL 17 27 17 23 84
MIA 16 27 22 27 92

Hey! I see what you did there!

 

Yes it does. The Mavericks were top-10 in defensive efficiency last year. Thats what champions are made of.

 

13 turnovers
11 steals
9 blocked shots

16 turnovers
5 steals
2 blocked shots

san antonio 9th def efficiency
oklahoma st 11th def efficiency

seems both are in the dallas zone on def efficiency

and #1 and #2 in off efficiency

 

Durant still hasnt been to the finals and it doesnt look like he will be going this year either.

 

it's an obsession. I really think that Scott Brooks actually thinks Perkins is a good player.

Guy is awful.

 

That can't be right, he's more clutchy than LeBron he had to have already been there.

 

you are making stuff up again.

before the season, I picked Miami vs. OKC in the Finals. How is that one working out?

In the first round, I was 5-3 in picking series, but check the amount of games I predicted for each series. If you were betting over/und on games with ME, you would have gone 8-0, you jackass.

 

Dallas scored more than 25 in the 4th vs. Miami ONCE in that series. DO you pay attention to the **** you post?

 

you got them switched. OKC was 9th. SAS was 11th.

Dallas was 7th last year. So, no. not the same. Not close. Adjusted for Pace it becomes that much clearer.

Don't talk numbers. You are WAY out of your depth.

OKC comes closest to Dallas last year overall. SO root for them hater.

 

To recap...you Heat haters...root HARD for OKC. The Spurs don't stand a chance vs. Miami (with Bosh).

 

For the hundredth time, the NBA is NOT a stats league, to wide a disparity in talent, ref's play a huge role, as do matchups.

Problem with volume stats in the NBA is performance counts just as much vs a woeful Bobcats team as it does vs a serious contending team prior to the playoffs.

I'd suggest a better measure would be performance in the playoffs were matchups are more equal in terms of talent. Even then, as the Spurs showed, it is the 4th qtr that matters so in that sense playoff performance, in the 4th qtr, is the most important metric.

 

BTW, all my predictions are in audio. Not made up like Adam's.

I also wonder who picked each and every single Heat-Knicks game correctly. That would have made me 5-0 ATS, 8-0 on Ovr./Und. and 5-3 on moneyline series. for a 18-3 record in the first round.

So yeah..I set a record for futility at 18-3.

You dumbass.

 

and if we are talking numbers as to who were the best teams in the Reg. Season, it was Chicago, followed by Miami, and then OKC. Spurs were 4th. That was the pecking order statistically.

 

everyone picked miami vs the lakers or thunder before the season. really going out on a limb there genius. but then the playoffs came and your short circuiting brain switched to the lakers in the finals. so dont go with your preseason pick because you obviously had a change of heart.

5-3 is pathetic. take up a sport you know something about like handball or something

 

so what will be the reason when the west hoists the trophy again? what will be your excuse this time?

 

i agree but the buffalo heat fans have nothing else to grab on to. they love their little stats so might as well play along

 

so the only thing you know is totals. stay away from picking who actually wins series. you couldnt pick your nose if money was on the line

oh btw i notice you dont mention the memphis clippers gm where all the sharp or wise money went on memphis....who won? clippers of course


and where are these made up predictions by me? please provide a link

 

Damn. I need to get on this train next playoffs.

 

Wow. You're awful at this.

 

He is worse than that.

If he had a brain in his head, when everybody was saying that Boston was gonna sweep Philly, he would have noticed that I was picking Philly, and since I know about 10 times more about basketball than him, he would have taken the over on games in the series at ovr. 5.5 for +150. There was a reason you could get +150 on it.

But no. he decided that nananana booboo was better than cashing a ticket.

Dumbass doesn't even notice when I am handing out money.

 

When does the gay guy come back for Miami??

 

We have a homophobe among us....

 

Melo is on the Heat?

 

section has been posting for the last few days

 

I've been called worse.

 

ha ha ha. making up more bs. face it you suck at picking series. you are the ultimate mush

 

Mark Cuban's team was eliminated.

 

No, the other gay guy.

 

I don't know if I can take you seriously. Section has had an excellent track record throughout the years in predicting series, final season standings, etc. The dude knows his stuff. Why you want to unleash hell's fury on him for being a Heat fan and rather insightful with the game of basketball is beyond me.

 

How many gay guys can you spot in south beach???????????????

 

Don't read into it too much. They like giving each other a hard time.

 

Fair enough. Honestly can't tell lol.

 

Is this a trick question?



Now a naked guy chewing some naked dudes face off..not so much...

 

The opposite actually. But I admit, I blew the Memphis/LAC, and OKC/LAL series straight up. The rest, I picked big underdogs for an upset. Didn't pan out, oh well, but they all became series, and if you paid attention, you would have cashed fat numbers on ovr. bets.

 

He's just messing with me, but he thought he had an Ace in the hole with my upset picks. Too bad he missed out on all my other predictions.

 

Scuttlebutt is that Battier will start on Pierce, which usually means that when a rumor like that gets perpetrated, that the Heat will do something completely different.

For you bettors....

the oddsmakers love killing Heat bettors, and they got a doozy tonight. They might have nailed the number at Heat -8.

Thank god for all those gullible New Yorkers that pounded the Knicks in the 1st round, if not, there might not be a single good ATS line on the Heat.

 

gotta stay away from hero ball on series picks. pick your spots with individual gms. so does miami cover tonight.

 

dont know any new yorkers that had the knicks in rd 1. anyone that had a series bet laid the wood on miami. new yorkers actually knew the knicks had no chance in that series
