2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[LAD]

because i will freely admit- i have no clue if the Cavs will win the title this year or not--- they have done it once in their history!

Yet you have so much to say on a constant regular basis about how great the King is & how great his current roster is. Now when asked you're scared to put your money where your mouth is?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

lol--- you OBVIOUSLY have zero confidence because you are making it contingent on something else entirely...i understand- you dont want to lose without covering your ass---- its cool. I understand- the Cavs have at least the 3 best player in the series- i wouldnt have any confidence it goes 6 either if were you. Ill freely admit i have no confidence in the Cavs winning the title- i have no clue how it is all going to shake out

what i do have confidence in?

if the Cavs and Heat play- it does NOT go past 5....thats for sure...dont worry- i am sure Mecca will take it- you dont have to- we know where you stand.



the team "no one wants to play"- but you cant even bet that they would win the 2 games on their own home court--- typical.....though- like i siad- i dont blame you at all- its just common sense.

You HAVE to be trolling at this point, correct?

If not, please don't EVER let your boss see this or chances are you won't have a job.

no doubt about it! LeBron is one of the best 5 players of all time- is having one of the 2 or 3 best years in his career- the Cavs roster is loaded---

on the other side is a team with 4 of the top 20 players in the league which has never happened before- i ll freely admit- if the Cavs and Warriors play eachother- the Warriors are going to be the favorites- just like they were last year. However- just because you are the favorites doesnt mean you win it every time

and if you remember- despite being the underdog- i stuck up for and bet on the Cavs in that series against @tlance ..... @TurnUpTheHeat doesnst have the balls to back up the Heat despite his false bravado about them being "the team no one wants to play"

where the rubber meets the road- he just doesnt have the balls. Its cool- maybe Mecca does- or someone else?

bets open to anyone else out there too since @turnup is obviously too much of a puss to take it.

you need to put conditions on the bet

its very simple- will the series go 6?

you feel the need to try and make it more than that- becuase you dont have confidene in it- its okay- i get it man---- i wouldnt make it if i were you either---- but stop trying to act like you think itll go 6- when obviously you have zero balls to back it up.

i freely admit- i wouldnt take the Cavs against the field- there is a reason they are +325......now- if its the Cavs vs. the Warriors and all the Cavs are healthy- im sure ill take an avatar bet onthe series just to have some fun JUST LIKE I DID LAST YEAR despiute the fact that the Cavs will be underdogs- perhaps substantial underdogs.

you are too chicken shit to do the same. i get it.

 

[gordontrue]

I hope the Heat and Cavs don't face each other only because I don't want to see the aftermath of what would happen to this place, regardless of the outcome.

"you need to put conditions on the bet"


@trojanfan12 , can you fucking believe this?

 

[WiggyRuss]

"you need to put conditions on the bet"


@trojanfan12 , can you fucking believe this?

i am wrong?

i said-

would you like to bet the series goes more than 5?

you said--- ONLY IF- you bet the Cavs against the field.

thats called a condition. Something i am missing? i get it- you dont want to backup the Heat without covering your ass.

it just cracks me up- the "team no one wants to play"- but cant even bet that the series would go 6 without trying to attach another bet to it lol.

you think the Cavs care if they play a team you dont even think can get to 6 games in the series? it just cracks my ass up, the "team no one wants to play" MY ASS! lol.

 

[WiggyRuss]

looks like the Bulls are done

Wade (elbow fracture) out for regular season

bummer for Dwade....

You are incredible. You can't possibly be serious about being a lawyer. In your rant you basically pointed out WHY you SHOULD have no problem accepting his bet.

Your points:
1. LeBron is one of the best 5 players of all time- is having one of the 2 or 3 best years in his career
2. the Cavs roster is loaded
3. However- just because you are the favorites doesnt mean you win it every time

These are the VERY reasons you should have confidence in them & NO PROBLEM betting on them again.
You should just learn to keep it short & sweet. The more you talk the more you disprove your case. SMH

uhhh....yah the CAvs are a great team and the defending champs- but they dont have 4 of the top 20 players in the league on their team- I am fully willing to admit right now if the Cavs played a series against the Warriors- and both teams were 100% healthy- that id have to pick the Warriors. The Warriors will be the favorites by a fair margin.

now- if they play eachother- just like last year- the CAvs will be big underdogs- but i will take a bet on the series if all the Cavs principle players are healthy- because im not chicken shit like others.

 

[bksballer89]

How can you not love Russ?

 

[WiggyRuss]

@TurnUpTheHeat

ill even give you an out- name 5 players on the Heat- if they all arent playing and of relative health- you can cancel the bet.

So how is this different than what @TurnUpTheHeat is asking you to do?

 

[WiggyRuss]

So how is this different than what @TurnUpTheHeat is asking you to do?

because- tomorrow Kyrie Irving can sprain an ankle and its over.

If KEvin Durant has a setback- the Warriors are done. Too much is dependent on the health of the players. If the Cavs get to the Finals- and all their principles are healthy- JUST LIKE LAST YEAR- ill take a bet on the Cavs winning it- shit- i bet on the Buckeyes beating a Miami team that everyone said was unbeatable and won a case of Bud Light off of it!-- and of course- won my bet despite the CAvs being underdogs last year

what i wont do is make a bet 3+ months into the future with no clue what the health of the team will look like. If Kevin Love comes back- and re injures his knee- its over right there. Because then its not a bad that the Cavs will win the Finals- its a bet that the Cavs will be healthy AND win the Finals--- if they dont get some luck with injuries- like almost every single team that has ever won the Finals has gotten- its a moot point anyway.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

When is the last time James lost 2 games in a round 1 series?
I'm willing to bet it happens if they play the Heat.

In turn, he should have the same type of faith that Le Douche can win it all.

Another day of Wiggy obsessing over the Heat

well, clearly your team's got his attention...

Then why didn't you just add that condition to the bet when he asked? Honestly I don't think anyone here thinks the odds stay the same for either team if they're missing core guys. Come on...you got more excuses than a man going to jail!!!!

Totally agree which is why I'm trying to get him there!

And who is to say that Whiteside, Dragic, Waiters, etc won't get hurt right before or during the Cavs series if it happens?

Aren't we at least a month from that potential series?

Talk about a fucking hypocrite.

sure- i mean- thats what i have said for months now.

If LeBron pulls a hamstring- against the Celtics the Cavs are probably done and dont even touch the Finals. Kevin Love had knee surgery a month ago- if he reinjures it- there is no way the CAvs are winning a title.
