According to Timvp's preview, we are going to lose the next 4 games

[Kool Bob Love]

It's funny how personal everyone is taking a prediction

This.

timvp is just another so called "expert". I mean he gives good takes most of the time. But this year he has been awful.

[DPG21920]

There's a difference between thinking the opponent will win and wanting them to win. He doesn't want the Heat to win.

He believes the Spurs have a shot in the series (no matter if he thinks it's a long shot -- or I don't know, maybe he's trolling). And of course, he really wants the Spurs to win.

It's funny how personal everyone is taking a prediction

He blatantly said he predicts the Heat to win both home games 1and2. I called him on it, he shriveled and making wrong predictions (i.e. MEM over SAS) should not be lauded.

I'll add you to the list of the people who think this issue is really serious.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo19m
4th time Heat have lost a Game 1 in the Bosh/James/Wade Era. Heat went on to sweep the next 4 games in each of the previous 3 instances


Unfortunately.. no team in the last 3 years has responded better after a loss than Miami. They haven't lost back-to-back games in like 5 months. Ususally a loss "wakes them up" a little bit and if they start turning up the D the way they're capable of, it could be trouble. I still think this series goes at least 6, maybe 7.

anti-jinx working to perfection. Maybe we'll go 82-0 next season with these perfect anti-jinx threads. Wow.

Perhaps I'm wrong..? Auntie, why I am I not in on the secrets? I feel like the Busch's Baked Beans commercial.

Oh well he made a prediction, people go to past stats and this and that all the time and what will or did happen! The thing is YOU GOT TO CHILL!!!!!!!! Take it a game at a time! We won one and we go to the next one! If we get two there GOOD LORD great! We have a huge shot, if they split all they have to do is win one in SA to get it back to their house! This can be a long series! I hope not but man it could be.

I wish this would end in 5 lol. BUT OPPOSITE HIS PICK! US IN 5 for 5.

Did you even read what I posted?
It's not the prediction he made that puts him on a pathetic shelf, but the way he acted.



And btw if he believes in his own team and makes a prediction other way, it's really bit strange.

HUH?????

[Mugen]

Can't wait to make the "hahahah F U timvp" thread when the Spurs lose in 6 tbh.

[timvp]

Apparently, in Poland predictions and rooting interests are one in the same.

Insert Poland recipe for Ice joke.

[nkdlunch]

WTF???


he made a prediction and then started to go off in every thread shouting, let's go spurs!, believe!, I'm not betting against spurs etc.
All the in time


Then when spurs won he goes crazy with YESSSSS thread. Running around with his pants down with his tongue all over his face. SPURS WON SPURS WON!

I mean WTF is this?

truth bomb

[dg7md]

Heat in 4

[ForeignFan]

Heat in 5 is still alive, if we're being honest.

Nobody (serious) doubts you want the Spurs to win, and it takes some balls to get exposed by making predictions (that everybody is looking forward to reading, by the way). I guess the question is whether you stick with your intial prediction (though I assume it is to early to "reconsider" the outcome )

[Stabula]

timvp sounds like he's been posting these threads while in that particular drunken state where you're highly emotional

[polandprzem]

Apparently, in Poland predictions and rooting interests are one in the same.

Apparently not

But even me knowing that Mimi was the favorite in game one. I was not a saying that the Heat gonna win and believing spurs gonna win. Saying Heat gonna win, throwing let's go spurs, we gonna do it, come on bombs all over the place.
And when the spurs won I was not in yessssssing. Even in me. The guy from poland as you like to address. I was like pheeeww, okay one in a pocket.

But no of course you made a huge error in the Grizzlies series and now wants to show everybody that it does not matter. 'Oh I will make a prediction of the Heat demolishing spurs, all in all it's a win-win situation after Grizzlies series. Cause if the spurs win I can always say it was a reverse jinx.'



No biggie U the king


I'd rather see a humble king but it's just me
a guy from poland

I mean WTF is this?

This board is seriously re ed.

The man wrote down predictions with detailed reasoning. He had to put on his basketball reasoning goggles. Objectivity and being a fan are mutually exclusive if one is a thinking human being.

WTF has gone wrong with this stinking board? The man has been wrong with his predictions. Were they poorly reasoned? No. Where they wrong? Yes.

So at a point in time in what should be a glorious moment for this franchise, and I mean moment, a Polish sausage for brains can't distinguish between objectivity and being a fan? Are you serious Stanislaw? What have they done to the water in Warsaw ya Eastern European for for brains?

Nothing personal, just start walking east, when you reach Siberia stop. And stay a very long while.

You obviously have no idea how much a true FAN wants this championship. We all want this bad, real bad. This would seal the deal on what has been one of the best teams in all of team sports. We would have to be thought of as a model of resilience and hard work over facades and side shows. This could be a direct slap in the face of this video game NBA dunk on the couch culture.

So say you are sorry.

[polandprzem]

He knows one polish name and one polish city

I'm i'm impressed hyhy

[z0sa]

Apparently, in Poland predictions and rooting interests are one in the same.

They aren't mutually exclusive but at the same time, you gotta realize you and Kori are our moral leaders. Queue trolling but I freely admit I am a huge fan of most of your basketball takes.. I remember being devastated when you picked the Mavs against the Spurs in 09, for instance. I do understand your focus on objectivity but it just feels like you're a long shot from those Believe moments. You seem to be lacking faith and that sucks, why?... because you no doubt deserve relishing in these games as much, probably more, than just about anyone. The Spurs have earned their place and they look poised for ultimate triumph...

so stop torturing yourself man!

[100%duncan]

Dat pzerm dropping truth bombs tbh.

[heyheymymy]

im no timvp fluffer, but i gotta defend his right to go with his hunches and make his call.

dont get salty on his take if you dont agree with it. i too thought heat/5 was a little odd, but this series was pretty hard to call. 2 pretty evenly matched teams.

besides, i think he's just having a lil fun with the rev-jinx trend goin on lately.
