Why do people bother watching the NBA playoffs they really suck. These are the Conf finals and you can't get a good game only blowouts. I think all but one could be wrong. Did you see the Hockey game last night one of the best games of the year.

I love tout city tonight saying the Warriors usually follow up a blow-out win with an uninspired effort and the Rockets have the talent to at least keep this close. Meanwhile the number is the same or a .5 pt more depending on when you bet it last night. Just like Cleveland 6/6.5 game 3 blow out of Boston and then close -7 listening to all BS about how Boston is going to bring the D.

Hey the game opened 206.5 I got in at 206 and it close 204.5 Right side wrong result. But I wouldn't touch Boston just like I wouldn't bet Houston tonight with Monopoly Money. Tonight if I was a consistent NBA bettor classic pass because the Warriors know how they play uninspired ball after a blow out and might chose to do it again but this game is there's to win or lose. All I can said GL to whomever you bet. I not saying Houston can't win or keep it close I hope so and if so I'll tune in but I'll watch a rerun of the Cap/TB game tonight but I'll be checking.

Just felt like typing killing time while the landscaper does his thing. Thanks for reading.

    Agree. NBA is basically unwatchable. Long regular season schedule is being supported by gambling. Hockey is exciting and being kept interesting by occasional fisticuffs. However, bottomline......NBA ratings up and NHL down. Go figure?

    This is true but the knights have helped. I believe it's a much better game to see in person then to try following the puck on TV. Understanding Icing and offsides could also have something to do with it. But as you say the NBA has become unwatchable. I think the last 20 years or so the top three teams with the best record have won it all. Not 100 % but close. Also if your not in the top 10 in offense and the top 10 in defense you won't win it.

    Again not 100% but close. I'm mostly just spewing shit but your going to know what 3 teams have a shot to win it all going in. Once in a while you'll get surprised. They need to do something with the court in the NBA. Longer 3 pointer make the paint wider. I have no answers all I know is that I can't watch a game for more than 10 minutes. I turn to the Mob channel that I've seen 100's of times and check out the old neighborhoods lol

    I know know it was hard and most likely I'll pay. The Yankees kill left handed pitching and it's in Texas to be honest it's not one of my sharper plays. Hamels has pitched better his last two and I'm hoping the Yankees come down to earth after a a 10-5 game. But WTF it's not one of my better decisions. Yes let's hope it's a rainout. Good talking to you Predator and best of Luck.

    havent watched a full game in, i dont know how long, watched a bit last night because i had a few more pennies then normal on bost ....but what fucking sloppy play , shots being thrown up all over the place , i mean bet or not just cant watch nba basketball , it is the worse , college hoops i love , thats why been going to vegas for march madness for so long.

    And on that note , the main reason i started going to vegas many many moons ago was because A.C was so expensive , it was cheaper to fly to vegas and stay at bob stupaks VEGAS WORLD for three days or at the place my buddy worked downtown at the horseshoe.
    Now that jersey will have sportsbooks , am wondering what a room is going to go for now in AC , are all these east coast guys going to stay home and go to AC for a couple of days, or take those 5 hour flights to vegas and deal with the time changes back and fourth. Am so curious how AC will do , i hope they do it right . Rooms now on a weekend are like almost 400 bucks , thats insane. There should be no reason that every room in AC every not to be sold out , right on the ocean , get the people in and keep them in, cheap room , make money on drinks and gambling have a cheap buffet ,whatever , I hate fucking AC , what a dump ...

    I personally love vegas, and vegas isnt cheap anymore, i mean dollar heinekens at the horseshoe bar isnt happening anymore, but guess what fuck AC am flying to vegas in march
