The later you wait to play the best team, the better the odds are as well that the best team will get upset first, and be out.Leisher wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:42 am What's the logic here? Get an easier path to a later exit in the playoffs? If you don't have the team to win, then don't try to go as far as possible so your draft pick is better, right?
Fair, but it's embarrassing and has to eat at you. Plus, how do you coach that?TheCatt wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:55 amThe later you wait to play the best team, the better the odds are as well that the best team will get upset first, and be out.Leisher wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:42 am What's the logic here?

I wouldn't do it. I'm just saying... I dunno, I understand strategy, so I'd be OK with it, but I can see how people wouldn't want to just lose for anything.Leisher wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:59 am Fair, but it's embarrassing and has to eat at you. Plus, how do you coach that?
Lifetime ban.Leisher wrote: Thu Mar 28, 2024 9:59 am The Jontay Porter story is bigger than we think.
Maybe not in a conspiracy theory way, but he's going to be someone that gets mentioned when famous sports gambling stuff gets discussed in the future.
Jontay is the 9th guy on a bad bball team. Yet the under for his performance was the most gambled prop bet for two Raptors games recently. In both games, he failed to hit the over and went out with an undisclosed illness or injury each time.
You can't get away with this shit anymore.
So a fan heckled you and in return you resorted to violence? Grow the fuck up.Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Beverley indicated that a video showing him throwing a ball at a spectator Thursday was misleading but later added that "I have to be better."
Cameras showed Beverley sitting on the bench and tossing a ball into the stands and hitting a fan with about 2½ minutes left in Milwaukee's 120-98 Game 6 loss at Indiana that knocked the Bucks out of the playoffs. After a different fan threw the ball back to Beverley, who was holding his arm out for it, the Bucks guard fired it back at that spectator.
Beverley declined to answer a question about it while speaking to reporters after the game. But he replied to an X post that showed the video by saying, "Not Fair at all. Exchanged between a fan and our ball club all night. We warned and asked for help all night. Not fair."
Why? I mean, if an arrant ball goes into the stand, they toss it back out. This kid just happened to end up with the ball. The player calls for it back. He tosses it back. I mean, if he didn't toss it back, security would be going into the crowd to get it.
That's what I meant. I didn't like the article's use of the word "threw," to describe the fan. The fan tossed it. Beverly THREW it. and should be in jail.Leisher wrote: Fri May 03, 2024 9:51 pm I think Catt meant the kid tossed it back not "threw" it back. The kid didn't throw with intent to harm. Beverly did twice.
