Well...Now's his chance to say something, anything intelligent...To give a team that he constantly writes off as 'lucky' frauds, some kind of credit.

Up against a team that has lost 3 home games all season, back up PG injured, Prince goes down during the game, 'Sheed playing the game out on 5 fouls... yet they come up big.

Please, I'm dying to hear how the Pistons' got lucky in this one?

Thanks for nice words. Much appreciated! All I try to do is voice my opinion and explain why I feel that way. You don't have to agree with me, but I don't think anything I say is off the wall. If so, I always demand someone to explain why!

Where did I say Detroit was lucky? I never said Detroit was lucky to win. My arguments were Detroit benefited from unfortunate circumstances from opposing teams. I think I backed up my opinion rather well. Especially when I post factual data!. If I used the words lucky, I was obviously implying with the multiple injuries the opposing teams have. Not winning the games by luck. First understand the argument before you attempt to twist things around

No offense Scott, but an intelligent person as you stated would take the opportunity to make guaranteed money anytime, anyday no matter what. Unless of course you're Mr. Money bags and intelligent... :mj07: Stay confident Bro.. If throwing cash at it works.. so be it

PS. Sorry I couldn't master the quote function. Had to do a traditional cut and paste.

 

[chuckdman]

Sorry, I dont want to start any negative energy from my post..

Just wanted to let all the newbies (includes me) and remind the elders that given an opportunity to hedge and make guaranteed money should always be considered. Not everyone can make money watching a sport on TV.. Why not sit back and make money without any 'worries?'

Good Luck to everyone! Go Spurs!

 

[MrChristo]

So please stop the BS how great the Pistons are. They still have to beat a healthy team for me to be convinced. I wagered on them because of there luck and fortunate breaks!

I can't fully respect a team who gets the opportunity to take advantage of these circumstances. Think about it. This team is very fortunate

This is a LUCKY team.!

Sick of going through it all, but I'm sure there's many other examples.

I understand you're argument, but today is the day that you've been waiting for...Detroit to beat a "Full strength opponent"

Is it really that hard to admit you've horribly under-estimated a team?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

is this a site for gamblers? or even money hedge players?..Scott will cash either way, as he has stated endlessly...he just likes the Spurs to win it all. I have made much bank on the Spurs and on the Pistons in this series, but he is letting it ride on the Spurs and will take the consolation prize if the Pistons win...everyone who is all over him for not splitting the cash is, well, not a gambler. Good job Scott....let it ride on the Spurs.

:mj14:

P.S. See my previous posts on both the Pistons and the Spurs...game 7...Spurs.

 

[Scott4USC]

First of all, those quotes are not the whole post and prob. misleading. Like I said, when I mentioned Pistons being lucky, I was implying with the breaks they received with the opposing teams not being 100% and suffering injuries to there star players. I think it was obvious what I was implying because I defend my argument in great detail. I never meant to imply they won the games by luck. Injuries are part of the game and Pistons won. I said all along Pistons are a very good team.

I can bring up posts where I attacked this issue and explained I never "meant" to imply Pistons won there games with luck.

I understand you're argument, but today is the day that you've been waiting for...Detroit to beat a "Full strength opponent"

Spurs are not 100% healthy.

Is it really that hard to admit you've horribly under-estimated a team?

I wagered thousands on Pistons winning the championship this year. I said repeatedly they are a very good team. How or when did I ever under-estimate them? Just because I do not give them 100% credit or dominance because they faced and beat less than 100% opponents, doesn't mean I don't think they are a very good team.

Here is the least intelligent thing he has said-"How many times do I have to tell you,I don't use money management." No intelligent handicappers would utter these words.They are indefenseable.It may take a while or it may happen quickly,but this lack of regard for a necessary component of the activity of handicapping will be his undoing.Saying this shows a lack of experience and a lack of intelligence.(Don't worry Scott,it won't be this week,SA wins Thurday.)

So please stop the BS how great the Pistons are. They still have to beat a healthy team for me to be convinced. I might have lucked out again! I lucked out against Miami.

Excuse, after backpedal, after excuse, after retraction.......

Since the play-offs began, you've done nothing but make excuses why Detroit have won games they shouldn't have, why LAL lost games, why SA lost games...and you're still ****ing doing it!!! Spurs are not 100% healthy!!! FFS!! Everyone looks pretty right out there to me...Certainly as right as an injured Hunter and Prince...As right as anyone at the end of a 7 month NBA season!

As maverick said the other day, you keep saying how injured LAL were last finals, but they eased passed SA, so it kinda ruins your whole argument.

Simple fact is, the beat everyone out East. The Lakers beat everyone out West. Detroit turned out to be the best basketball team in America.
I guess if you want to argue it was a particularly bad year for US basketball, then fine...But I've got a feeling that it wouldn't have mattered if it was Utah playing off for the West, you'd still be talking down Detroit's chances.

fwiw, I think SA will close it out too, and congrats on winning some $, but some of the shite you have plastered on this board is frightening. :jerkit:

 

[The Judge]

Spurs are not 100% healthy.

Really? Who's injured? I hope you are not refering to the bruise on Ginobli's thigh.

 

[dr. freeze]

lol

McDyess isn't exactly running around out there with 18 year old healthy knees

 

[IntenseOperator]

It will all be decided on the court soon enough.




If you really want to know what's up, this is all a CONSPIRACY by the NBA, the referees included, to have the series go seven while they cleared up the contract dispute and end the season on a high note!

MrChristo

Those quotes where I used the words lucky was with Miami having Wade injured and Shaq not being 100%. Detroit was lucky to have Miami suffer those injuries. Or were those injuries detrimental to Detroit? I think Wade hurt himself shooting the ball too, wasn't even Detroit who caused the injury. Detroit might have beaten Miami game 6 and game 7 with 100% wade and 70% Shaq but as my argument states, WE WILL NEVER KNOW!

Shaq not being anywhere near 100% and Duncan with his 2 ankles and Devin Brown not in playoff rotation because of season injury, I placed a very large wager on Detroit because of that and they are a very good team who I respect.

As maverick said the other day, you keep saying how injured LAL were last finals, but they eased passed SA, so it kinda ruins your whole argument.

Malone was not severly injured against Spurs. Just like the Spurs, Pistons were a very good team. I have proven Malone was huge contributor and difference maker for Lakers. I also shown side by side comparisons to R. Wallace and they both have same production.

fwiw, I think SA will close it out too, and congrats on winning some $, but some of the shite you have plastered on this board is frightening.

Thanks and I hope you are right!

Really? Who's injured? I hope you are not refering to the bruise on Ginobli's thigh.

I said Spurs were not 100%, I didn't say Spurs were severly injured. Duncan is not 100% with 2 bad ankles that won't get better until months from now, Ginobili is not 100% with thigh contusion and they are the 2 best players for Spurs. Ginobili right now is prob. somewhere around 85-90% now but he was like 70-80% in games 3 and 4. That was obvious.I think he suffered minor thigh contusion because I think he got his speed back for game 6 but his 3pt shot is still off. Devin Brown was key contributor for Spurs during season and because of that injury, he has been out of regular playoff rotation and only playing sparingly. Brown during season averaged 18min a game (which is a lot) and scored 7pts per game along with playing great defense. Obviously had big role with Spurs. Media downplays that as if Brown never was serious contributor for Spurs during season. All in all, Spurs are not 100% healthy.

If you really want to know what's up, this is all a CONSPIRACY by the NBA, the referees included, to have the series go seven while they cleared up the contract dispute and end the season on a high note!

I think you are right. I thought there would be game 7 no matter who won game 5. It just would have been easier to force game 7 if Detroit won game 5 which they very 1 shot away from doing. I
So what will be the end result of this conspiracy? Spurs champs? Pistons champs? Give me your prediction.

lol

McDyess isn't exactly running around out there with 18 year old healthy knees

But that is not suffering an injury which is the basis of the argument. Plus he looks as healthy as he as been all season and playing great. Good news for Detroit! I think he should attack basket more and use his speed against Duncan or whoever is guarding him. Detroit is not getting Duncan in foul trouble.
