He accepted, you didn't. And the caveat was there from the start.WTF does moops have to do with anything, it was me who you challenged. Then later, with a caveat.If it was a one team vs. one team bet of course I would. But with this bet, the Lakers vs. the World, I can demand the injury proviso. Still good odds for Moops.
Wrong, I accepted that stupid challenge the minute I saw it. What you really mean to say is: another board member jumped all over my silly proposition because he knew it was easy money and wanted to take advantage. And now that his actions have opened my eyes a bit, I am unwilling to back up my comments...and especially so because I am about to get off the hook altogether, thank god.He accepted, you didn't.

He's been amazing, hard to watch as a Laker fan, but taking a step back, watching as a basketall fan, its been a joy. I was on the Chris Paul bandwagon early in his career and kinda got off when he was going through his injuries and trade requests but I'm back.Best PG in the league and it's really not close. Hoping he stays healthy, really has a great shot at the second best PG of all time ranking.
Just curious about the Tim-Moops bet -- what is considered "hurt"? Missing a full game?
Suggestions are always welcome.
I don't understand this post, but fine. If you want to bet $100 on the same conditions, we'll do that too. If you think betting against the Lakers is easy money, take your chances, I'm game.Wrong, I accepted that stupid challenge the minute I saw it.

No, unless its a game 7, or a decisive loss in a series. I'm not going to claim victory on this bet over a lame excuse. It's got to be an injury affecting mulitple games, or one of the decisive games that clearly had a factor in their defeat.
I think it would have to be more than one game unless that single game is an elimination game.
You think it might have had something to do with the fact that Billups and Amare got hurt? Would love to see Miami without D-Wade and either Bosh/James they would have gotten swept by Philly. Knicks are not that far away, having an actual offseason together should help thier chemistry and Im sure they will get better pieces in the offseason if Donnie Walsh is still the GM.
So just to be clear ... the argument is that Billups = Wade, and that the difference between healthy Amare and back back Amare is the same as the difference between healthy Bosh or James and no Bosh or James? That's what you're saying here?'simmonjm said:
Think Melo and Amare are going to spend a lot (or any?) of time together in the summer working on their games with each other?'simmonjm said:
Wouldn't working on their games together be pretty similar to pregame warm ups where they both have a ball and they just jack up shot after shot? They might do some of that.
LaLa probably has other plans - most likely some time on the Hamptons with Jay-Z and Sean whatever he calls himself filming a reality show or something like that. Then Melo will probably try to get on a bunch of TV shows and commercials.......basketball is job #2.
the interior defense has been awful this series for SA. tonight they seem to be rebounding well enough but the griz have guys that are attacking the basket.
Best player on the court = fighting chance IMO.
Feels unbelievably similar to the Rockets series the other year...Even going to game 7, it didnt seem real.
terrible coaching from Pop this series. i just don't understand what this team is doing out there.
Perkins/Ibaka is better than Duncan and whatever caddy his has out there.
Has an all time great ever flamed out in the playoffs this shamefully?
This Memphis team is really good. Really good.We are used to Kobe Bryant and company wrecking the Tim Duncan legacy, but the Lakers farm team without their best player?
Certainly the Warriors. There has been a lot of talk about the Spurs aging and most people didn't give them much of a chance to make it out of the West. That wasn't the case for the Mavs back then.
warriors. this is a much better griz team and they play in a much better division too.

Pretty embarrassing.FYI Local Morning show called up Duncan in his hotel room at about 5:30am this morning and woke him up to sing him "Happy BOOOday". He listened for about 25 seconds then hung up.
ha.the griz have executed their game plan to perfection really. they have defended the perimeter pretty well and take away the 3 pters. they have clogged the lane to keep parker and ginobli from penetrating. it's been great coaching, really, from hollins. he's had his guys hustling and just playing hungry.FYI Local Morning show called up Duncan in his hotel room at about 5:30am this morning and woke him up to sing him "Happy BOOOday".

Worst Western Conference 8th seed since 07.This Memphis team is really good. Really good.We are used to Kobe Bryant and company wrecking the Tim Duncan legacy, but the Lakers farm team without their best player?
harsh. he's played well except for tonight. no one for SA played well in the 2nd half. no one.
Excuse the poor timing, but it's an honest question.
somewhere around 50%. it's a little scary to me, as a spurs fan, to consider how ugly it can get if manu gets bad too.
