I'd like to also bust out a shame on you, Jim for declaring T Park the winner prematurely.

[Kori Ellis]

Hey, my post was a joke!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

And while I didn't make an official prediction, you could say I was 7-3.

[SpursWoman]

They shouldn't have lost to Orlando. :flipoff :lol

[Jimcs50]

Since when did I change my 8-2 guess????

You are full of shit.

I win.

Show me where I changed!!!

[Jimcs50]

Here is my post after I gave TPark the win.

TPark, as much as I like to beat you all the time, I do not want to have Spurs lose a game for me to be right with my 8-2 prediction. I do not see SA losing any of these three games, to be honest.

[T Park]

Sacramento and the BS officiating and BS play by Duncan screwed me over.


Aholes.

[ZStomp]

I'd like to also bust out a shame on you, Jim for declaring T Park the winner prematurely.

So Premature....ejaculation..... :rolleyes :lol

[Solid D]

Show me where I changed!!!

Okay, I will
You have exhibits A, B, C, and D

Exhibit A

Sat 12/18 Golden State W

Wed 12/22 @ Orlando
Thu 12/23 Minnesota will go 1-1 in these two, which one I do not know

Sun 12/26 Boston W

Tue 12/28 Phoenix W

Thu 12/30 @ Portland
Fri 12/31 @ L.A. Clippers - will go 1-1 again

Sun 1/2 @ Sacramento W blowout for SA

Tue 1/4 L.A. Lakers W blowout again

Thu 1/6 Indiana W blowout

A 8-2 record is good.

A few posts later, after reading one of ducks posts you said:
Exhibit B

oh, my bad, I thought they were at Phoenix...I will make a change.

Then your change was officially made here in:
Exhibit C

I think I underestimated...they will go 9-1, as I do not see them losing any of next three.

and then you remarked, but did not want to change your final 9-1 prediction just so that you could beat T Park, as much as you would like to:
Exhibit D


TPark, as much as I like to beat you all the time, I do not want to have Spurs lose a game for me to be right with my 8-2 prediction. I do not see SA losing any of these three games, to be honest.

That all adds up to you changing and sticking with 9-1. The change was made and stuck with...with three games remaining. You lose.

:lol JIM...... :lol

YOU'VE BEEN OWNED! :lol

Stop being such a fence stradler and take a stand man!

Relax, Jim. It's okay.

You're just a LOSER. I mean it's not like you are a BOTTOM FEEDER like Kori. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Ahem. If I may.

Point 1: T Park's prediction was clearly 9-1.

Point 2: Jim's original prediction was clearly 8-2.

Point 3: While Exhibits A-C seem to indicate a change by Jim to a 9-1, a careful reread of Jim's last statement (Exhibit D), actually indicates that he at that time was holding to his original 8-2 prediction. He said that while he did not want to lose to T Park's 9-1 prediction, he would rather that the Spurs have that record than his 8-2.

Point 4: The only thing that can be said with certainty is that Jim is a complete waffling bonehead when it comes to predictions and bets; however, that is obviously not a crime around this board. Within the constraints of the evidence, his last statment seems to point to holding to an 8-2 prediction. At best, things are inconclusive, and I ask that the case against my client be dismissed without prejudice.

[Rummpd]

Props to those who did well on this but frankly 10 game predictions are for amateurs, lets see how the whole season sorts out = the last two years being right on for win total - I stand that 63 + 16 will be Spurs magic number this year barring a major injury to either Duncan, Parker or Ginobli (Tim had me worried the last game for a minute).

Frankly, this Spurs team going 8 and 2 (and it should have been 9 and 1 or 10 and 0, they did not "bring it" in two losses) was a great accomplishment and portends at least 1 10 and 0 run down the line this year if Spurs stay hungry. Blow out wins against Suns, Wolves, Lakers etc. show this team has no limit except themselves.

Congrats again!

Shoogar - Jim clearly had a change of mind in Exhibits B & C and changed his prediction to 9-1. Exhibit D is a waffle maneuver - right out of the aluminum siding sales guide. Appeal Denied. Jim = LOSER.

I will grant Jim and Rummpd one distinction each, out of the kindness of my heart and professional courtesy...

Dr. Jim LOSER, DDS and Dr. Rummpd BOTTOM FEEDER, MD.
:)

[Jimcs50]

I did not change my prediction!!

I originally had them going 7-3 with a loss at Phoenix, then someone told me that they we AT home, so I said, "oh, that makes a difference", I will change my prediction, which was from 7-3 to 8-2...and all of this was done BEFORE any games were played, thus the 8-2 prediction stands.

I thought TPark had won, because I clearly predicted 3 blowouts in their last 3 games, hence my saying that they would be 9-1, not 8-2, which pure shame on my part for underestimating them. One can not change your 10 game prediction after 7 games...therefore I won with my 8-2 prediction...

BTW, I predicted blowouts in the last two games, which was a correct prediction, thus I win the tiebreaker over the other 8-2 predictions, so I win the contest.

Chew on that for a while, Solid.

:)

[Solid D]

Mishmash and poppycock. Don't insult the rest of the posters...they are intelligent and they can read. What you posted is a matter of record for all to see.

Appeal Denied.

Read it again.

Ok, I know I won, so that is all that matters

Check out the edit time which was 1 min AFTER the post where I said I would change the Phoenix prediction. I changed from 7-3 to 8-2 at 1125 am way before any games were being played.

Okay, that explains the edit. I'm a fair man. I believe you...although all I had to go by was what was posted.

You have no evidence of that being what was edited but I see how that could have been the case.

Appeal Accepted. Jim is a Winner.

[ShoogarBear]

Shoogar - Jim clearly had a change of mind in Exhibits B & C and changed his prediction to 9-1. Exhibit D is a waffle maneuver - right out of the aluminum siding sales guide. Appeal Denied. Jim = LOSER.


Solid, believe me when I say that nobody likes to see Jim suffer more than me.

Exhibit D probably is, as you say, a waffle maneuver. The problem is that you presented it as part of the prosecution's case, when it clearly is evidence (albeit weak) for Jim's case.

My sense of justice will not allow me to ignore this Eagle County D.A.-like blunder, even when the accused is a known bullshitmeister.

Now, who do I get to fuck?

[ShoogarBear]

Ah, looks like the dirtbag won on another technicality anyway.

Now, like any good defense attorney placed in this position, I have to go take a shower.

Okay - since I'm not dating Jessica Alba (http://fightmusic.com/mp3/sec/Tennessee__Rocky_Top.mp3), you can have her.

Jim, with vulgarity like that...I find you in contempt of court. You will hereby be stripped of one "N" in WINNER and an "H" shall be added following the "W".

There will be no appeals.

Johnny Blaze.....you Bastard!!!

I knew that is what you had on that link, but I had to make sure.

You will not fool me again.

BTW, now my neighbors are dead now too.

[MI21]

I always like to predict a bad record so I can get a nice surprise when the Spurs inevitably do better.

:rolleyes

[spurster]

So far you should have predicted 4-1 every five games. Today's win vs. the Nuggets finishes up a seventh straight 4-1, a 28-7 record.
