Celtics@Heat: Veteran's Day Special

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yes, the game is a day away but I got another hot tip for ya'll. The opening line on this game is Miami (-7). Keep an eye on that, and if it doesn't wander too far north then jump on it. The Heat were just embarrassed in an epic collapse last night and need to rebound right away. The Celtics gave them a rude awakening to start the season--and despite Wade's worst performance ever--the Heat still hung around. Miami needs to win this game convincingly to quiet the doubters, and I think they're more than up for the challenge. If the spread doesn't change too much, bet the Heat.:toast

[DPG21920]

DD, you have a problem. We are all your friends...

[Ashy Larry]

yeah, I look for the Heat to come back and get in that ass .....

[Ashy Larry]

oh and Eric Reid sucks

[DeadlyDynasty]

DD, you have a problem. We are all your friends...

God help me I love it so:lol

[Venti Quattro]

I think Miami takes this by +10.

[Gutter92]

What is an opening line?

[TheKingOfMIA6]

Watch us lose this again

[TheManFromAcme]

Watch us lose this again


I doubt Miami loses again but you've got to ponder the thought....

What will it say about the state of affairs with Miami should they lose?

[LkrFan]

Go Celtics! There. I said it. :vomit:

[TheManFromAcme]

Has my wisdom fallen on deaf ears?

Not with me Luva. Your pretty dead on with your stuff. :toast

[LakaFan]

Go Celtics! There. I said it. :vomit:

A true Laker fan would never utter those words.

[TheManFromAcme]

A true Laker fan would never utter those words.


To a great extent you are right, but I have much more respect for our old rivals, the Celtics, whom we have fought in the trenches, than for this ready made team called the Heat.

Don't get me wrong, I despise the Celts (Like any Good Laker would), but this should give you an idea of just how much disrespect there is for those boys down in Miami probably not so much for D-Wade but for Bron and his softie counter part Bosh.

[lefty]

Heat better not lead this game by 20 points

[Giuseppe]

I hope the Celtics whip the dogshit out of 'em.

[21_Blessings]

Couldn't give a fuck on the outcome. Although, I will admit that watching the Heat fail is immeasurably enjoyable for some profound reason and hasn't gotten old in the slightest.

The Lakers aren't threatened by Celtic wins anyhow. Not with the knowledge that they're clearly the superior team even when Drew is playing on one knee the entire series.

[rickross]

maybe today da stars don't align for the other team and we can come out wit da win. fukin milsap goin jesus on us, emeka goin hakeem wtf is wrong wit deez niggas, i mean cris allstar bosh is guardin dem for god's sake.

[Texas_Ranger]

Today could be the new 9.11.

[usdane]

As a Lakers fan this game will be a win/win.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Heat and the points (-7)...ya'll won't be sorry

[Darth_Pelican]

The Heat will lose by 30, and Hollinger will keep them ranked #1 in the power rankings for an outstanding week of 0-2 basketball. :lol:rollin

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

This is going to be a tough loss for whoever does lose. Boston has loaded up their frontline with the Lakers in mind. If Celtics lose it may be because Miami found the answer to the one perceived Heat weakness. If Heat lose they have to wonder just when they will gel. Should be interesting to watch their gameplans unfold.

Of course most the full season and the playoffs lie way ahead, but neither team wants to lose this one.

[Mike-in-brazil]

HEAT!! i said mavs would be beat celtics .....ill say tonight heat will beat celtics(quite nervously)
2 out of 2 baby lest go!!

yes as a lakeran i hold a partial perspective about the Celtics lol

I watch a lotta ball.. and I've never seen Chris Bosh dominate anything. Not even in the Olympics. I only think of him as an all-star because people keep saying he is.

This seems like Richard Jefferson 2.0. A supposed All-Star put on a "better team" struggling to fit in.

[Giuseppe]

I can understand wanting Miami to fail. I can not understand CHEERING for the Celtics.

Before the breakthru in '85 it would be unfathomable to cheer for the Celtics. But that breakthru, reinforced this past June gives me a warm feeling when contrasting them with any other legit opponent.

I don't want any upstarts in the winner's circle.

[history2b]

I understand Culburn's respect of the Celtics...

but I root for no one ever, other than the Lakers. I thoroughly enjoy watching the competition between 2 teams and the demise suffered by either would be thoroughly enjoyable to me. Particularly the Heat right now because if they lost again it would be down right comical whereas if Boston lost is anyone really going to start doubting them?

[HarlemHeat37]

Heat and the points (-7)...ya'll won't be sorry

I had to go against you, I bet on Boston to beat it..

Did you end up betting on Orlando yesterday?..I was going to, like you said, but I couldn't make my re-up in time before tip-off, thankfully:lol..

[DeadlyDynasty]

Right now you're looking good on the Boston bet. Nah, I didn't bet the Orl game cause the line shot up to ORL (-11.5) 2 hours before tip-off. Tbh if it had stayed at (-9) I would've bet and lost:lol

[DarkGinobili]

Heat have no answer for bigger teams!

[Venti Quattro]

Miami is shitting in their pants on their home floor right now

[DarkGinobili]

Rondo dunk!

[namlook]

Nice help defense by Bosh. :lol

[Giuseppe]

Good to see the Heat gettin' that ass pounded.

Make it bleed, Celtics!

[NASpurs]

Nice defense by Bosh on that Rondo dunk. Seems like he just got in the way to smile for the poster.

[LkrFan]

The Hype look really good out there.

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami has fallen behind or been close in almost every 1st quarter this season, because of the fact that they start Arroyo and Anthony, 2 completely useless players..it forces them to play 3 vs. 5, and it puts them in a hole..

It's amazing how Spoelstra hasn't figured this out, even though it has been 8 games..

Starting House or Jones, or even Chalmers would be a better option than Arroyo, since he doesn't fit at all with the starting unit..

Starting Z or Haslem makes a lot more sense than starting Anthony..

[J.J.Barea]

Not sure if its to early for a loud "LMAO Bosh"...

[Nick, the Nazi]

fucking softass bitch bosh gtfo

[ace3g]

that was a terrible T

[HarlemHeat37]

The NBA tech rule is so bad..soooooo bad..

[Darrin]

I'm starting to worry this will be a failure as epic as New Coke. I see no leadership on that floor. All this talent and no one who calms the team down. They just look young.

[DarkGinobili]

refs have to much power.

[namlook]

The rule is a done deal. What's bad is the players that are too stupid to adjust to the new rule.

No shit. The NBA must be making a ton of money by these bullshit technicals. Players can't even fart in the direction of an official without getting called for a technical.

[HarlemHeat37]

Um, what did Nate Robinson possibly do to earn that T?..

Even considering the new rules, it was still a massive stretch..

NEWSFLASH for you fair weather, front running, Miami Hype fans: they are not that good. :toast

LeHype won't have his way with us. He is single-handedly keeping y'all in the game. Boston has no more Posey or Tony allen to stop him. We have a plethora of quality defenders to slow him down. Come 4th qtr he'll be gassed. :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

This Miami team has shown no BALLS this year...they are 1-3 against good/decent teams and 0-3 in close games. Theses faggots better wake up soon

[HarlemHeat37]

Which part of my post was false?..

Miami has some major flaws, but starting the game 3 vs. 5 is a coaching move..

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Heat fans on their forum went crazy when Bosh didn't contest the Rondo dunk..

[j.dizzle]

Biggest problem for Mia is they have Pitbull as their starting PG & no centers that can score points or rebound hahaha. Bosh is a freakin 15 million dollar scarecrow that just stands around & gets bullied.

[HarlemHeat37]

Eddie House's role in Miami's offense is way too much..I don't see the fascination with him..he's a good shooter, that's it, they shouldn't be going to him for off the dribble shots or clutch time shots..he should just shoot spot-up..

[Quit Hatin']

lebron and wade can't play together for shit that's the biggest problem tbh.

[Amarelooms]

Fuckin Celtics can't make on damn FT...sorry fucks


:elephant

[KapitanTutan]

nice foul on rondo. monkey cant shoot a FT even if it will cost his life

[namlook]

Um, what did Nate Robinson possibly do to earn that T?..

Even considering the new rules, it was still a massive stretch..

Unless you know what he said it's hard to say it's a stretch.

I didn't like the rule change but now that it's here it's kind of nice to see much less complaining. It might also lead to better officiating too. If the refs don't need to be thinking about who is going to yell at them and cuss them out after they make a call they might be more focused on doing their job.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron and Wade have been fine together, that's one of the only reasons Miami even has a good record right now..

Their problems are:

- Interior D/No C..
- Bosh is playing poorly this season..
- Coaching..
- No Mike Miller..
- Lack of offensive chemistry..
- Starting games 3 vs. 5..

[LkrFan]

Which part of my post was false?..

Miami has some major flaws, but starting the game 3 vs. 5 is a coaching move..
Don't give them a pass. They have "3 of the top 10" players in the game. I could coach them and they should win like 69 games.

They have major flaws, you right:



DWhistle is a player that needs the ball in his hands to be effective
LeHype is DWhistle on steroids with a slightly better skillset
RuPaul is a horrible 3rd fiddle. He does not have do well unless he is a 1st option
Y'all don't have a bench
Y'all don't do well against teams with size
No good PG to get the big 3 the ball (no wonder y'all went after DFish in the offseason)

The beat goes on and on. BSPN and other media pundits have all crowned you guys and disrespected the 16x champs.

Meanwhile, Beastley just dropped 42 big ones last night and y'all traded him for a 15th round pick. How you like them apples? :lol

Gooo Hype! :toast

[Quit Hatin']

We enjoy the bullseye. Plus, there's going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games.

[KapitanTutan]

- Interior D/No C..
- Bosh is playing poorly this season..
- Coaching..
- Starting games 3 vs. 5..

these will be problems all season long tbh

[j.dizzle]

This piece of shit is killin me with these timeouts, just let them play a little bit.

[DeadlyDynasty]

*@*#*#*##**@*#*@@*#@*@*#*$*%$*$*$$*$*!

[HarlemHeat37]

these will be problems all season long tbh

Dampier can help the interior D..he isn't great or some kind of savior, but he's a big body that can block shots and offensive rebound..he's a big upgrade over Anthony..

If Spoelstra is the coach for the entire year, then Miami has no chance to do anything..his offensive coaching is extremely poor, and his rotations are really bad..starting games 3 vs. 5 is his fault, so if he stays there, it might be a problem all year..

Bosh is pretty much up to him..if he shows some pride and grows some balls..I wouldn't count on it, but we'll see..I've never been a fan of Bosh, but he's playing a completely different style than he did in Toronto..with the Raptors, he was a foul-drawing machine when he would get the ball..this year, he's jacking up jump shots and not even looking to drive..

[IronMexican]

[HarlemHeat37]

So does Spoelstra get fired tomorrow?..

[HarlemHeat37]

harlem already got a fully loaded clip of excuses.

Nope, the better team is winning..Miami has too many flaws right now, they need some maneuvering..

The main reason I didn't think the Celtics would go to the Finals is because I don't believe they're going to hold up for an entire season..unfortunately, they probably won't, and the Lakers will get another one..

[LkrFan]

5-4 Miami Heat.:lmao

[Darrin]

I'm off the bandwagon. I don't know what I was thinking. I thought maybe this generation of players was somehow more aware of what makes a good team. They aren't. They are just like Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, etc. They can't adjust to each other. No matter what they do, they will be loved or hated. Get on the ground for rebounds, run off the ball, become a passer--take on a role the team needs. Use that to suprise teams. They'll never be a great team.

They need leadership, someone to calm the team down. That's not going to happen. They need defensive leadership even more than on the offensive side. They need a guy like Reggie Evans or Samuel Dalembert on that frontline. Chris Bosh is soft as they come.

They'll have to change my mind now.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I need a 22-pt swing:lol

[LkrFan]

So does Spoelstra get fired tomorrow?..
Even the great Patrick Riley can't save their asses. Too many flaws. He'll take over next year around this time after Spoelstra has already done most of the heavy lifting. Plus he's older now, not much energy to engross himself into the job.

Hype will win 53 games, 2nd round exit. Good start for the class of 2003 though. :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

At least I'm going to win $:lol..betting against the Heat has been good to me so far..

Spoelstra has emptied out the bench for the first time this season, using Chalmers and Stackhouse..I don't know if it's because he's trying something new, or if it's desperation from a man that believes his job is on the line..

I disagree with the bolded. Despite their off court issues, they clearly had no issues on the court. I'd say they adjusted rather well. So says a 3peat. :toast

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's still early but the Big 3 have a combined +/- of 49....

[redzero]

The rimmed blocked the shit out of Bosh.

[Quit Hatin']

this is the end of the hollinger era and his stupid ass stat formula.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not having Lebron cover Pierce is just stupidity..he absolutely owns Pierce, yet they didn't have him guard him even once in the half, and obviously Pierce went off..

[DeadlyDynasty]

61-46 at Halftime...the Heat aren't even playing defense...

[DeadlyDynasty]

If the Heat lose this game then they just can't be taken seriously...

[Quit Hatin']

lebron doesnt accept the challenge to guard pierce.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wade/Bosh/Lebron don't even look like they care, tbh..it's been the case for all their losses..they're probably just happy to go fuck their models and money..

[Darrin]

I disagree with the bolded. Despite their off court issues, they clearly had no issues on the court. I'd say they adjusted rather well. So says a 3peat. :toast

Big toe surgery. Kobe's role in getting Shaq traded. It may have paid off, but don't tell me it didn't affect on-court chemistry. You weren't watching close enough. They got angry with each other, blew off each other on the court, decided not to pass to one-another.

Personally, they made me sick. I loved that it was that team the Pistons beat in 2004 for as much as I was cheering for the Portland Trailblazers and Sacramento Kings in the early 2000s as much as seeing Ben Wallace and my hometown team win one.

[DarkGinobili]

The Heat are just getting raped out there.

[namlook]

If the Heat lose this one they will be on pace for a 45 win season.

[Darrin]

Wade/Bosh/Lebron don't even look like they care, tbh..it's been the case for all their losses..they're probably just happy to go fuck their models and money..

This season will define Lebron James' career. He better get off his ass and do something. I don't see it.

[HarlemHeat37]

lebron doesnt accept the challenge to guard pierce.

Lebron has guarded Pierce in almost every game they have played the last few years, including the 1st game this season..

They have Lebron guarding Rondo, because Rondo burned them for 18 assists or whatever in the 1st game..stupid strategy either way..

[Poirot]

I disagree with the bolded. Despite their off court issues, they clearly had no issues on the court. I'd say they adjusted rather well. So says a 3peat. :toast

I'd say three championships nothing to scoff at. Grouping AI and T-Mac with Kobe and Shaq is just... wrong.

[Mike-in-brazil]

61-46 at Halftime...the Heat aren't even playing defense...

they don't have any!!

i was wrong thought they would least play better at home

[DeadlyDynasty]

Another reason you can't trust this Heat team in the clutch: Big 3 are 8-14 on FT's so far...this isn't an anomaly either...thaey are all unreliable at the FT line.

[Darrin]

I'd say three championships nothing to scoff at. Grouping AI and T-Mac with Kobe and Shaq is just... wrong.

This is the source of the fervor of the Detroit Pistons fans. A Full House beats a pair. That sort of thing. They were indicative of these guys being so good, you only needed two of them, they'll bitch about each other, go to the media, blow off help from each other--they were good enough to beat teams. They were not an all-time great team.

The Heat may win 50 games this year and lose in the second round, but they could've won 65 and made the NBA Finals. The same is true of those Lakers teams. They underachieved in a bad league.

Such a poor, reactionary coaching decision...the Cavs did the same thing in the playoffs last year...after Game 4 they took LeBron off Pierce and put him on Rondo. We all know how that worked out. Pat Riley needs to takeover ASAP

[HarlemHeat37]

Rondo has 9 assists too, so it's not even working:lol..

Trying to stop a player from getting assists is just stupid IMO..especially Rondo, arguably the quickest player in the NBA, a guy that centers his game around passing and building chemistry with his teammates..

The Spurs did it with Steve Nash in the playoffs, making him shoot, but that was against a Suns team that didn't really have a star perimeter scorer..the Celtics have Paul Pierce..

Miami isn't going to stop Rondo from penetrating anyways, they don't have any big men inside, so it's pointless either way..

Hey, I dont agree whole heartedly but I see your point. I hated the 2002 team that won a title. 2000 was the most harmonious season for those 3 peat Lakers and i enjoyed all 82 plus the race for 16. I hated the 2001 regular season but the playoffs were pure joy. I hated the entire season in 2002, for all the reasons you stated.and to me that was the only truly fractured team. Yes Kobe and shaq's beef started the year before ...but injuries kind of forced both guys to rely on the team and each other the previous season. In 2002 even the Finals were more relief that they did not blow their title chance, more than elation that we had done a great job defending a title twice.


That is why I wanted shaq gone even BEFORE 2004. he wasthe leader and that team was beyond dysfunctional by then.

Don't get me wrong--Kobe Bryant has written a tremendous second chapter. He's become unselfish, as good as he is at scoring, he has become dominant without scoring the basketball, and a great teammate. But there was a time in this league that I could not stand to watch him.

The reason i supported Kobe was because though an arrogant prick at least he came in shape and played hard every night. The other one dogged games and was too busy eating krispy Kremes, impreganting chicks all over the US of A and taking late surgeries. To me kobe was the lessor of two evils and to me the better chance at sustaining greatness.

side note: how come shaq doesnt get clowned for all the kids confirmed and rumored he has "fathered" (used loosely) like Kemp or antonio Cromartie? I have lived in Dallas, San Antonio and of course L.A. and San Antone is the only city that i have visited that there isnt rumors of an ill-legit shaq seed. he has em in NJ, Louisiana, and Cali and Florida ...if stories are true.

A man who refers to himself as "Ace" was last seen in Cleveland with a LeBron James Heat jersey. He hasn't been seen since, foul play is suspected to be involved

[dbestpro]

James really could have benefited from a year of college ball.

[KapitanTutan]

damn senior citizens cant miss

[RoddyBukkake]

crofl LeAirball Shames :lol

[endrity]

celtics showing some amazing ball movement right now, a joy to watch

[HarlemHeat37]

The worst part of this is that the Lakers are pretty much guaranteed to win the title now, since Miami was the only team with any potential to beat them:lol..sucks that the NBA is so weak right now, unless the Celtics can miraculously stay healthy..

Hopefully the Hornets, Spurs, Mavs or Magic can pull off a trade or something..

[Amarelooms]

Miami can't beat the Celtics....best to just avoid them and hope they lose before the ECF

:elephant

air ball jame is so fucking overrated

[sribb43]

are we watching the 2009 Cavs? Looks like it to me with Lebron dominating the ball

[sribb43]

So at what point does Paul Pierce call for his wheelchair this game ?

[HarlemHeat37]

are we watching the 2009 Cavs? Looks like it to me with Lebron dominating the ball

They take turns dominating the ball, that's their entire offense..

Lebron iso, Wade iso, Bosh iso..


I would pay any amount of money to see somebody throw a punch at Paul Pierce..

[dbestpro]

Lebron keeps driving with his head down he's gonna get popped.

LOL, there were coming out of the woodworks after the decision now that it's time to pay the piper they went scurrying like roaches ...

Celts still need a lead Wade will NOT keep missing ...

Let me say this maybe it's tough for these guys (wade/lebron/Bosh) to get a rhythmn since they dont get the ball, touches or as many plays ranto free them up as they are used to. I know Lebron is the king of PER but he now has to be even more efficient because thewhole offense is not built around him like with the Cavs. Before he could pick and choose when to attack, be a play-maker etc. Now the decisions are not his alone. Wade could miss 2 of 10 shots and keep chucking, because would you rather Arroyo or Cook shooting?

So I am not making excuses but i think it's much harder to get arhythmn when your touches are less and you were a volume scorer. Bench players are used to going long stretches without plays being run for them. these guys are not role players they are stars ...

[ducks]

heat averaging 31 free throws a game wtf

27 tonight wtf

[Fpoonsie]

Wow. Who shot LeBron?

[IronMexican]

Lol at KG making the trainer give him 5.

[Killakobe81]

But 72 wins ...LMAO
and favorites as presently constituted ROFL

[KapitanTutan]

down 10 entering the 4th.

considering how shitty this game has been for the heat, i'd take it.

[ducks]

that was a charge on james

[Killakobe81]

Rondo what a piece of shit...scared to take a 12ft jumper...

:elephant

that is why as good as he is he is NOT on the Paul/Dwill level ...IMHO

[Amarelooms]

But 72 wins ...LMAO
and favorites as presently constituted ROFL

Shut up dummy...the favorites are the Dallas Mavericks

:elephant

[DeadlyDynasty]

Heat gotta outscore Boston by 18 in the 4th, lol...they'll be lucky to score 18 points in the quarter

[Giuseppe]

We'll see what the Celtics are made of in the next 12 minutes.

[Killakobe81]

not saying he doesnt deserve them ... but 16 FT's for Lebron in 3 quarters?!
No wonder he breaks hollingers PER machine ...
With that type of foul rate he is not only the best player today but he is the GOAT ...

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Shut up dummy...the favorites are the Dallas Mavericks

:elephant

F-A-G-G-O-T
dummy:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron/Wade/Bosh should play the entire quarter..

[Killakobe81]

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Yea, Lakers are by far the favs and should be until beaten

[IronMexican]

Lebron/Wade/Bosh should play the entire quarter..

Why? It's a regular season game.

[dbestpro]

Grinding with passion. How the hell do you do that? To grind you have to do something you don't like. In fact you should never have to grind in sports unless you hate the game you are playing. Most over used term in sports.

[LkrFan]

RuPaul on the bench to start the 4th QTR! :lolOk, since he is getting traded, send him to LA for Theo Ratliff. He can back up Lamar Odom and the Heat get them a real shot blocker. Sounds like a good trade to me. :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

Ray Allen's impact on Boston's offense is pretty underrated, considering he's the least talked about of their big players..he has had the highest +/- on the team the last few years, and just the threat of his shot opens things up for everybody, obviously..his game gets overshadowed by Rondo too much..

[ducks]

now nate goes off for 10 points in 9 minutes against the great d of heat

[dbestpro]

Miami sure is enjoying a kind whistle.

[Giuseppe]

Miami's moment is out of this time out...

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm curious how people can write off a team that hasn't even played 10 games and why anyone thinks the regular season even matters. The Heat will gel and will dominate as they should. All the 72 wins talk is foolish for a new team in it's first year together. The big 3 are barely in their prime, this is not a win now season.

Thoroughly disagree. Pretty sure everybody's well aware of his offensive contribution. Just because he manages to get open, it isn't a matter of underrating him or opposing teams not respecting him, but simply his constant movement.

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami is double teaming Ray Allen off screens now, opening up the offense for the rest of the Celtics..

[BRHornet45]

Lebron with 16 free throws so far ... sons the whistle will be the ONLY hope Miami has this season. it is the only reason they are even fairly close in this game.

[The Batman]

LOL This "kid"???

[ShoogarBear]

The Celtics are moving the hell out of the ball.

The Heat have maybe 1-2 passes per possession.

[Killakobe81]

Ray spittin hot fire like dylan ...

[Giuseppe]

Rondo see's everything.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami has no pride

[dbestpro]

So why does Lebron not get a T? The special rx will not help him sell any more jerseys.

[ducks]

Kg is clutch tonight

[ducks]

[DeadlyDynasty]

goddamnit wade...it was halfway down...

[BRHornet45]

sons I don't preach this shit for my own entertainment ... the NBA is rigged as all get out ... obviously they can't COMPLETELY control the outcome 100%, but they do everything in their power to push certain teams and you're seeing a great example of that tonight.

[ducks]

james is tired he needs to sit and rest

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Was that not a walk on Bosh????????????

[resistanze]

God damn my streams are choppy as fuck...

[ducks]

[BRHornet45]

Lebron has only scored 16 LEGIT points

lol 22 free throw attempts compared to only 15 field goal attempts

[BRHornet45]

u cryin brah?

NOW HOW YA LIKE DAT!???

***SMACK***

[dbestpro]

Less than two minutes left in the game against the Celtics. Time for Lebron to quit.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

With the Falcon game too I'm gonna be down $150 tonight....sigh

Lakers -3 you didn't take that action?

[resistanze]

WTF! :lmao

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, LeBron.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lol lebron, nice shot

[Quit Hatin']

"he hit the side of the backboard....he hit the side of the backboard"

[HarlemHeat37]

With the Falcon game too I'm gonna be down $150 tonight....sigh

I'm surprised you felt so confident with Baltimore on the road, tbh..

I always underestimate the Falcons too though..



Wow, what a stupid shot by Lebron..Lebron and Wade have some incredibly bad shot selection at times(not that everybody didn't know this)..

[ducks]

nice d james

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lakers -3 you didn't take that action?

I never bet the Lakers in the regular season
