I am not implying that the nba is fixed,it simply looks "orchestrated" sometimes. When watson went to the line and hit both ends with 1:30 to go,I held my breath,on the next possesion,when Rose went to the line same thing,you knew his splitting the pair meant it was much more likely to go to ot. The bulls were the more tired team in ot,expending a herculian effort defensively in the second half to get that far. a very smart pro handicapper once said "the harder I work,the luckier I get" meaning if youre on the right side you benefit from these unlikely looking endings far more often than not. The way it gets there just looks like luck, but it never is,it just looks like luck. The playoffs in the nba are difficult. Thats why there are so few posters and so few players at this stage of the season. It like the mirror in the fun house,what appears to be never is,its likely just the opposite of what it appears to be. Lines are tight and growing tighter as these series progress. Congratulations to those smart enough to have played miami and over and dallas and over in the last two games,i am a contrarian player and usually start out with the assumption that the same result is unlikely to happen twice (or more) times in a row. Most of the time this is a correct assumtion,but of course not always,and in the case of two teams playing repeatedly for the better part of ten or twelve days sometimes the same result plays out back to back. I agree with dead money the time might be right to say bag it for the year,as these last two second halfs going overhave taken the fun out of it for me,(at least until an hour before gametime tonight.) Congratulations are in order for poster KC Wolf,in the many years I've read posts at Madjacks,I'm certain there hasn't been a finer performance posted in the NBA playoffs.
