My predictions:
If Duncan were playing
Mavs 101
Spurs 99
Without Duncan
Mavs 105
Spurs 92
Without Duncan and Ginob
Mavs 110
Spurs 85
i can never bet against the Spurs, so I made a modest bet on them winning.

If Duncan were playing I feel like we'd win this one without a doubt. We are at home and have lost 4 straight to the Mavs, we're due.
No such thing as being "due". You lose consistently at home to the Mavs because the Mavs match up extremely well with the Spurs. It could happen 10 times in a row and the Spurs wouldn't be any more likely to win the 11th.
I actually think the Spurs have a better chance of winning now that Duncan's out. The Mavs have the Spurs number. Without Duncan, the Spurs will have to play a different kind of ball that the Mavs' won't be accustomed to seeing from them.
Would anyone mind paying out on the Pats/Ravens game so I can bet on this?
Is hard to bet agaist the spurs, but without Timy, and Manu with a sore hand... 2/1 odds are too nice to pass...
Mavs 107
Spurs 94
I really hope i'm wrong tho...

Spurs 94
Mavs 106
I'm sorry but without Timmy, the Mavs are going to kill us, so in reality, I'm being optimistic
had to bet on the Spurs but I think they lose.
1500 on the spurs
Dallas 102
SA 94
When do the vBookies pay out? I coulda sworn I still have the same amount of cash I did from the game TD got hurt (and TP led in scoring).
Mavs 105
Spurs 91
The Spurs are sick of these in Dallas guys.
Timmy or no Timmy
Spurs win this one.
95-88
this will be a shocka
spurs 109
mavs 81
easy, mavs will win
Spurs 99
Mavs 89
Parker will lead the Spurs to victory.![]()
I have a feeling that after this I'm going to wish I bet more money. I see it as a win-win situation.
If the Mavs win (and I expect that without TD and Manu, they will, though you never know. . .), then I get lotsa vbookie. That = good. If the Mavs lose, then the Spurs win. That = good on three levels: Spurs win! Mavs lose! Spurs win while down a man or two! Sweet!!
So if the Spurs pull it off, I'll happily be $500 vbookie poorer. And if not, well, vbookie will console me to sleep (and Nyquil. I hate being sick).
Oh, right - score
Mmmm.
Mavs 103
Spurs 94
I have to pass tonight. I only have $500 left in my Vbookie and with no Duncan there's a 45% chance they can beat the Mavs tonight because they will concentrate more on Parker. Horry & Manu if they play are not 100% so there's chance I lose again.
Pass. I don't really want to pray on winning my vBookie, I'd rather pray the Spurs win instead even if I know it will be hard. Who knows?
Spurs 98
other 95
:
Mavs 115
Spurs 98
I hate betting against the Spurs but the Mavs have won 11 of the last 15 or something like that. Without Duncan and possibly a limited Ginobli doesn't bode well for the Spurs.
I'd like to be wrong though.
