Western Conference Finals are indeed the real NBA Finals.

I said that too. And it did. But Kobe had other plans and choked like a got.

I gotta call you out on it. It was a take then, it's still a take now.

No. It is OFICIALLY the WCF to see who plays in the NBA FINALS.

That sounds like you don't want to put your money where your mouth is.

Not surprised, tbh. Fake bravado and takes is all you have left...

Nope, cause as I stated all along I was rooting for the Spurs and should you lose then OKC as I want the le to stay in the west.

And as I already pointed out, what you "say" and what you "do" are two completely different things... that whole "I picked the Spurs" cop-out is a cool story nobody bought...

And those odds mean what in this series?

What happened in previous series that were 2-0 is irrelevant to this current match up. Now if you can somehow prove that this Spurs team is a 93.3% favorite against this Thunder team, then that statistic is meaningful. Otherwise, it's just a bull stat the media throws out to create drama.

It's a stat that is compiled by taking the history of all 7 game series over the history of the game. Nothing less, nothing more. Of course there are differences in matchups and it's and average of those througout time.

So I guess I can stop thinking the Lakers choked thier series (as you stated) since they were the underdogs and OKC was the better team and OKC made adjustments (as your contention with the Spurs) to cause those choke plays. hahahahaha

Take care. Im out...

Blowing 7 point lead with 2 minutes left and blowing at 13 point lead with 9 minutes left isn't a result of the other team adjusting, it's a result of choking. Lakers outplayed OKC and lost those games because they choked.

I didnt say i picked the spurs. I said I was rooting for the Spurs because i thought they would be the tougher matchup for the ECF winner the way they were playing. The Spurs were playing beautiful basketball up to game 3. They have folded since and not countered the moves made by OKC. I am very surprised by that. Maybe they will redeem themselves, maybe not. But I am not going to bet against my wishes and I am not going to say they didn't choke if they lose this tomorrow becuase they will have.

I have not wavered or spun anything. Just calling it like it is. If that bothers you, so be it. No sweat off my brow.

Have a good night!

Go KINGS!!!!

That notion is ridiculous, the ECF teams are at least as good as the WCF. In 2004 most were talking about the (L)east, then the Pistons almost swept the Lakers that dominated the west. This season both the Heat and the Celtics are top defensive teams, have great players too. I don't understand how can anyone think they could get swept in the finals.

Durant doesn't steal that pass if the adjustment to put him on Kobe wasn't made. We can go back and forth on this forever. I admit the Lakers choked. If you lose tomorrow and cannot admit that being up 2-0 and then getting swept after a 20-0 run is choking then alright. I am ok with that. I think the rest of the world will see it differently.

Again, good luck! Talk to ya Thursday or maybe late late tomorrow.

If you thought the East had a chance before and now that the Spurs are not playing well, then they arguably have a bigger chance, why are you scared of betting on the East?

Sounds like you're saying one thing but not really believing it. In other words, more bull , par the course.

takes don't bother me, especially when it comes from people like you who constantly have terrible takes and on top of that are scared to back them up.

Nope. I don't bet against my wishes. I want the West to win regardless of whos playing in it. And I would not bet with you on anything regardless. I have learned my lesson with regards to Spurstalk betting.

Yet you keep replying. Damn you are one big fool! But hey, that's not news now is it?

Now I am really out of here... had enough fun for one evening. Feel free to keep obsessing over my takes though! hahahahaha
