Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
In 1983, Moses Malone predicted "fo fo fo." Slang meaning four for four, which the Sixers did in the playoffs when the Sixers won the title. That team, which included Dr J, was so dam good, nobody really doubted it. I only bring it up because when great teams, and for one season that Sixers team was no doubt a great team,… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
Both sides getting love, no doubt about it. This might sound crazy, but I think the first quarter of the first game, will say a lot as to how this series goes. If the Spurs can stop an early onslaught of threes from the Knicks, then I think they have an excellent chance to become champs. But if the Knicks prevail in that… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
now that i've slept on it, i can talk about it. when you lose a 29-point lead, you have to do things yourself to make that happen. in the first half, the Spurs shot 14-of-26 from 3........they were unconscious. scored 76 points. that's not sustainable, and that should have been the halftime speech. maybe it was, idk. if… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
Tried something new on this for the first time which I had been thinking about. Also played this at 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5, so it actually hit on 4 bets. Was gonna do a parlay, but I didn't on this one. Sort of an interesting parlay whereby all ya gotta do is hit one top number, and all the other numbers fall into place, and… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
Well Paul, you did have a chance, but DUMB penalties and the "Patrick Mahomes gunslinger" passes didn't help your cause. I thought Tex was gonna win, but never did I think the "anointed" Arch would play so poorly. When you can't punch it in from about 6 inches out, you don't deserve to be #1. OSU's defense was spot on and… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
I truly sympathize with you. There is losing, then there is losing losing. It boggles the mind how many different ways you can get your nose rubbed in it. Like last weeks KC game. Had it won until Lawrence falls down, gets up, runs for the winning TD. -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
@stevek if you did this, i missed it. but i haven't caught you commenting on the Penn St situation. as i said in the college football thread, i can't recall a more precipitous fall from grace for a team that was sniffing the top of the rankings. i thought the school might be in "fire now, worry about the buyout later"… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
@stevek a winner by the skin of our teeth, which is why i said what i did earlier today. i knew it was going to be fluid until Hideki's ball found the bottom of the cup on 18. if he had 3-jacked from 24 feet on the final hole, he would have slid into a dead heat (at least my wager would have), and my payout would have been… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
i'd be remiss if i didn't touch on the bet i placed yesterday. it's stories like this that make this thread so great. talking about the good, the bad, the ugly, and in this case, the exceedingly fortuitous and insane. so, early in the evening yesterday i had somewhere to be. thus i had to stop following my wager on the… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
and then we have tonight. circled this game back when the line first came out. said it was disrespectful that we were getting points at home in week 1 against the Vikes, and that we are going to win outright. was that a head or heart statement? partly heart, but my head truly believes that the optics are going to be…
