Just trying to figure out how much I am gonna bet.

I think I'm happiest when I bet less because large bets usually mean a stressful time watching the game. LOL. I generally follow the rule of betting no more than 4% of what is in my online gambling account, though it's tough to stay disciplined some times.

I talked @mick7-1961 away from going all in on. He got hot and his current stash.....told him to bet smaller amounts so he doesn't have to get SportsHoopla welfare anymore.

Just realized LeBron has officially won more playoff series than MJ - and he's done it with 1 less trip to the playoffs.

In 13 trips to the Playoffs, Jordan played in 37 series, going 30 - 7.

In 12 trips to the Playoffs, LeBron has played in 39 series, going 31 - 8.

Obviously LeBron would trade the extra series win for a couple more titles in a heartbeat, but it goes to show how consistently successful in the playoffs LeBron has been.

Jordan also played in an eastern conference which was 4 or 5x as tougher than Lebronda has played all the these years.

In Jordan's day, it was the EAST that was superior. Over the last 15 years or so, its been the West thats been the superior conference where the depth of good teams are.

Switch Lebron over to the West, and no doubt he would have far less Series wins without a doubt

Eh, Jordan once made the playoffs with a 29 - 53 record.

Tougher, I'd agree with. 4 or 5x tougher???? No way.

Well lets begin this massacre. Wizards would have been a tougher matchup for the Cavs. Celtics are gonna be so average with the Cavs blackout locking own the Midget Thomas its gonna be ridiculous.

With the Cavs taking Thomas out of the equation, they don't have any other reliable great player to go to.

HCA means nothing in this series

LeBron is 1 - 9 in Game 1's on the road. Granted, he usually wins the series anyway, but wouldn't be shocking to see the Celts take this.

Yet you bet 5k on them.

lol, yeah, that was this morning before I thought about all that. I still feel pretty good about the Cavs winning tonight, just saying it wouldn't be too shocking if they didn't.
