Put money on Houston in Game 2. Spurs 5.5 point favourites...

**Amuseddaysleeper** · 05-02-2017

Imagine if they miss 10 of those 3's. Just 10. You take 10 of those 3's away thats 30 points.
Spurs shot 36%! And someone posted in another thread that Spurs had 45 open looks compared to 44 for the Rockets. So we just gotta hit them. That would've made a world of difference.

And the fact is, all year, Spurs have just been a bipolar team when it comes to their offense. Some nights their on and some nights their not. You just hope that the nights that they are off, that they can hold on defense. But obviously last night they were off on a night where the Rockets shot lights out from 3.

Not saying that will cure everything, but it will definitely give the Spurs the chance to win if they can hit at least 45% of their shots and not 36%.

If the Rockets shot 11-50 from downtown last night they still would have won. That's depressing.

Not surprised OP is going to bet against the Spurs. OP is the leader of the suicide squad. He has to insure his life with betting against the Spurs. If the Spurs lose OP will most likely commit suicide without his anti-depressant meds. In case the spurs lose this bet gives OP the money he needs to buy his anti-depressants and thus preventing himself from committing suicide.

OP is always suicidal before every spurs game predicting doom and gloom. That's pretty much all you need to know.

TBH the Thunder were gifted Game 2 and Game 5 by the zebras, otherwise the Spurs would've faced GSW.

But yeah, your point still stands...

Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs - Western Conference Semifinals - Series Winner - Best of Seven

Wed 5/3 Houston Rockets (Series) -125
9:35PM San Antonio Spurs (Series) +105

dig deep down in your soul and ask yourself is there any chance we win this in series. looks free money to me. might be in for at least $500

Game 5 yeah, especially for that bull continuation call on Westbrook's layup when the Spurs had been intentionally fouling him way before he even put the ball on the floor to attack the rim there. And while the no-call on Manu getting elbowed on the inbound play is one of the worst I have ever seen, I'll take a steal with the Thunder defense in chaos over an offensive foul and Spurs ball side out of bounds so OKC can set up its defense if I didn't know Mills missed the shot. The Spurs got something they wanted more than what the foul call would have given them. Otherwise they could have just called timeout after the steal and gotten the ball side out of bounds just like they would have if the foul had been called. Obviously with hindsight I wish the foul was called since we know the Spurs failed to capitalize on that steal, but the refs didn't decide that game.

How'd that work out?

You're welcome fellas

How much did you lose?
