Same offensive rules are now true for basketball.
Warriors are 20th in the league for points allowed defense. Let's play under today's rules. Michael Jordan & company would score at will and their bigger team would slow down Warriors. 6'6" Michael promises not to hurt Curry physically.
This is a great bar room debate. But in the end almost nobody thinks Warriors win a series against Bulls. I actually sat through Stephen A. Smith & Skip Bayless following Pippen comment.
The only argument nimrod Stephen A. Smith tried to make was that the Warriors wouldn't get swept. They'd win one or two.. Bayless saw a sweep.
Smith offered examples of Bulls giving up playoff games. What he failed to mention was Jordan was out playing blackjack with Antoine Walker for $10k a hand that morning.
You gotta love this argument to sit through Stephen A. Smith. But here.
Edit: sorry 11:48 start. I am not a sadist.

Anyone else jump on this?
Drexel's post about soccer betting made me think of some team that was a 5000 to 1 longshot in win some league in Europe and they are looking like they are going to do it!
reportedly bookmakers are going to lose $14 million if this comes through and are scrambling to try to make deals with the people holding these tickets by offering $4k for every $2 bet or something in that ball park....
anyone else heard about this???
Given that at least one interleague game will take place almost every day for the next 6 months, I would like some numbers run.
Specifically, I believe that NL teams are performing poorly in AL parks, due to the DH rule. I believe that not having a dedicated DH is a big disadvantage when playing in a DH park (as you usually have some weak bench player filling that spot), and NL pitchers are not used to pitching to 9 capable hitters with no "break" of the pitcher's spot.
So I would like to know the following:
Record for NL clubs in AL parks in past 10 years (reg season only).
Record for NL clubs in AL parks in past 5 years (reg season only).
Percentage of over bets that have won with NL teams in AL parks in past 5 years.
The last may be hard to look up, but the other two shouldn't, right?
With my NL-only fantasy teams, I have been sitting any pitcher going to an AL park that week, unless he's an elite pitcher. This strategy has worked out so far.
I stand corrected, looks like last 3 years NL teams are 62-88 on the road in interleague games.... that is def not a coincidence

Chicago would have the better starting lineup but any lineup without jordan or the pippen/kerr/lolkukoc trio would never score. Golden states bench probably could have won 40+ games this year.Quote:

Can you find a site that goes back more than 3 years? 150 games still isn't all that much.Quote:

Is it possible that the AL teams were just better overall than NL teams? Yes. But that would also be a reason to find value in these interleague games.
I've just noticed from casual observation as a baseball fan that most NL teams seem to lose badly when they go on the road against AL teams. So I'd love to see something like 10-year stats on this.
Looking at last night, the Cubs crushed the Angels in Anaheim, but this was with Arrieta pitching. So as I said, I would also like to throw out the results of elite pitchers, because I think guys like Kershaw and Arrieta can dominate even if they're not used to the DH thing.
No hole in one at the masters this weekend at -115 is a decent bet.
I think the Dbacks are going to crush the Rockies tonight. Right now Dbacks -1.5 is +165 on Bovada but you can probably get a little better elsewhere.
Also I think Angels +119 moneyline is a good bet right now, because I think they will win tonight (though I wouldn't go -1.5 with them).
In the NBA, I also like Portland -3.5 at Sac, as well as under 112 for the first half.

Whoops.
I didn't bet on the NBA today, but I did place those two baseball bets.
Dbacks got off to a 2-0 start against the Rockies and Chad Bettis, who is a mediocre pitcher at best. I thought Shelby Miller would cruise to victory and I would lol at the easy money.
Instead he gave up 6 runs and the Rockies lead 6-2 in Arizona.
:fail
Also the Angles already down 1-0 to the Cubs.
Cubs now up 4-0. Ugh.
I think I'm done betting against them (after just one bet), until I ascertain how good that offense really is.
Looks like both NBA bets will probably win, though I stayed away because of Bovada line being crappy. Lame.
Arizona now down 6-5. But I need to win by 2 on that one.
Fucking Trevor Story.
Well I've got my 2 run lead.
Now I just need D-Backs to HOLD (or score some more this inning).
Paul Goldschmidt kills a left-hander again for a bases clearing double.
11-6.
:yes
Golden State only up 3. Minny heating up a bit might give them a run for their money.
That being said Curry has been shite all game, wouldn't surprise me if he made 3-4 3pters in a row.
Spurs Warriors Thurs.
Fans, haters, math modeling and storylines. Popovich hip pocketing the secret formula for later.
That line is gonna bounce up and down like a basketball.
Can't wait.
Just got a bit more interesting.
Warriors are so burnt out. They can't lose another game to get to 73 wins and they play the Spurs twice so good luck with that. They will probably tie the record is my guess at this point. The team battled through a bunch of injuries the past few months and had to sit Curry, Thompson, or Green in the first three losses as well for minor injuries such as a tweaked ankle,etc... This could be good though since it might bring the odds down in then to win it.
If I was the OKC Thunder I would have been resting everyone for the past month since they had the #3 seed practically locked up with no where higher to go but I it's probably best they didn't do this too much since the Clippers have played great down the stretch.
Shout out to the Detroit Tigers new closer Francisco Rodriguez for giving up a 3 run lead in the 9th to force the game to extra innings which the Tigers won but still why is it such a curse to close for this team?
I had Atlético Madrid draw no bet, robbed, Suarez should've been sent off.Quote:

Yeah, you know. This line is gonna open like a stock after a trade halt. Buckle up and be fucking prepared with your idea.
Early bird gets the worm. My plan is to take the first line and trade around it. It's just a plan.
Maybe you catch a low cost middle.
You know for all the NBA and Warrior bashing I am guilty of I'll say this. Credit the Warriors as being the first team since Cousy for playing every regular season game like it means something.
It'll cost them but good show.
Basketball & Hockey are the worst for mailing it in on a given night. The seasons are too long. It's human and understandable.
Even Jordan & the Bulls bagged it sometimes. The Jordan nightclub and casino stories before games are legend.
959 PHI/CIN Under 8
I was concerned about posting K's props too early before trends take hold.
I'm 11-3-1 so far with a handful at plus money, with Stansburg under 6.5 pending.
Fade away, I'm due for a few losses.
Maeda under 5.5k
Rodon under 5k
It's such a random thing that there could be four of them this weekend and you just tip your cap and move on knowing over the long run you make $$.Quote:

Have a shower Strasburg.
I just took Spurs +7 -105 . Decent position but small juice.
I just don't see it anymore. When you look back it has taken heroic Splash Bro's output to achieve wins over fairly mediocre teams. They are still playing great. Great ain't good enough here. Even if Popovich intends to bag it - opportunity may present itself & compel him during game to take a run at a better seed. It'll still be close, regardless.
I took a little Warriors -5 -110 at open. It's just a thing.
Anyone else betting this or will you just minimize the effort and take victory lap after the game?
Pop doesn't play his starters much as the post season comes near, Tim Duncan probably wont play. I say the spurs stay in it but the warriors pull away at the end. Even though the spurs have the best bench in the league, i say warriors take it big at home.
After a good finish to the college basketball season and a 6-1 start in baseball, figured I would play the Masters lottery. Love this fucking tournament
Jason Day +685 200 to win 1370
Adam Scott +1221 125 to win 1526.25
Bubba Watson +1144 125 to win 1430
Phil Mickelson +2035 100 to win 2035
Have some smaller bets on Willett, Koepka, Leishman, Grace, Snedeker and Oosthuizen
Top Englishman- Danny Willett 100 to win 505
Highest 18 hole score in any round 82.5 (over -165) 330 to win 200
what sports book is that Double Double?
Not only are they better than anywhere I've looked but also I've never seen futures prices not rounded off.
Anyway I only get white people odds so here are mine
Adam Scott +1200
Justin Rose +2000
Henrik Stenson +2400
Patrick Reed +4000
I always take the first guy I've never heard of with the shortest odds when I bet golf. In the old days when I followed that would mean getting a guy at like 100-1 or 150-1. This year it's a guy getting 40-1. Go Patrick Reed.
I read an article on amateur Bryson DeChambeau so I have a bet on him to finish 73 or under first round +125
In 4/7 baseball I have
Twins +120
Astros +110
Giants -115
Angels -120
White Sox -105
Martin Kaymer (1st Rnd) +110* vs Byeong-Hun An (1st Rnd)
BHN is all sorts of fucked up right now. His neck is in bad shape to the point where he played his first round in a week yesterday and he didn't use a driver (and won't today).
Holy shit. I know who Patrick Reed is now.

An off to the type of start I like to see!
I had to take troy Merritt +130 in a 3 player line over An and Woosnam. I hate the 3 way lines but I trust your white faceQuote:
