i will take 1 bet from one person for 100 FPS on EITHER series (not on individual games, just the series result):

hawks vs bucks (2-2 series)
or
thunder vs fakers (2-2 series)

i will take the bucks or thunder. whoever posts first gets the choice of series and gets the bet. the only thing is that i won't take ANY bet that starts after the 5th game starts in either series. the lakers play ton8 @ 10:30pm et so bet fast or gtfo of that series.

GL!

I'll take the lakers series, although i'll hate myself for having to root for them.

I will take the Hawks for 100 FP

confirmed on both, for now i won't take any further bets. i think both series are truly 50/50.

the hawks have a better team than the bucks, but the bucks have superior coaching (and jennings). i think it's a simple series.

the lakers have more skill, size (esp in the post) and a LOT more experience than the thunder, but the thunder are faster, more explosive, and very talented for a group of young guys. i think that the lakers NEED production in the post and a healthy kobe to dominate the thunder. the thunder need to remain intense, focused and confident to hang with the lakers; if they can stop bynum and if durant can remain productive with artest all over him, they have a good chance at winning.

GL guys and fml if kobe feels healthy for the rest of the lakers series.

3-2 fakers so far, the thunder started out horrible (again) in game 5.

Sorta what i figured would happen, scary thing is kobe didn't even score hardly at all.If they play like that every game they might not lose again this season.I really hope not though.

Why am I even betting on a shitty sport I dislike most of the time.

you picked the better team but the mavs have a young jesus as a coach and jennings. i like to think you made the bet to win.

bucks/lakers could advance ton8. bucks up by a bit in 2nd quarter.

i turned the game off for 45 minutes, came back and the bucks had scored like 4 points

they didn't shoot well so when the hawks got rolling after the halftime break, the game pretty much fell apart for the bucks. a great coach can tell you what to do, but not shoot for you. but if skiles put a jersey on, maybe he could help out (well, 10 years ago...)

the lakers look good ton8, but so do the thunder. i doubt i'll stay up for the whole game, so if i owe you for the series i'll send the fps tomorrow somewhere around supper time (i'm out from 9am-5pm) tomorrow.

paid dues to dustin, lakers won

hawks bucks start in like an hour.

Go Cawks.

same, except the exact opposite

but i think u will win here tbh

so the network i'm watching has tennis on right now
pls pls put the fucking game on
i don't want to channel surf to find the game, the satellite listings have been inaccurate for the last few days


fuckfuckfuck


maybe they didn't tipoff yet

nope FUCK they did touch tips, 2-0 ATL

it's on abc rew you fucking idiot

shut up just shut up.

jennings should stop acting like a role player and take the game over, score 71 pts, and call it a day.

NN

cawks over fucks by 13 at half
al horford ffs

15 with 2 minutes left to go in the 3rd

hi, i'm rew. i'm just going to lose all the bets i ever make.

paid you the 100 fps early since i'm p sure the game is in hand now.

the hawks did rly well today and they needed the boost (not just the win). losing to the bucks would've been a HUGE disappointment. the hawks are definitely 2nd round material. they'll get pwnt by the magic unless something odd happens, but they have a good team that has a slight chance vs the overpowering magic. if josh smith can play well every game, they will have a chance. but they'll need all the horfords they can get.

i hope that jennings will learn a lot from this loss. he should be proud of himself, but he should reflect on where he is now and also on the kind of effort and consistency he will need to bring every day to be a superstar. i keep saying how good he is because i think he has the potential to be an all-time great. but he will need to work hard to keep improving, and he will need to grow into a perspective of relentlessness combined with basic basketball intelligence. he might be the most exciting player to watch in the nba when he really gets going. scott skiles deserves a lot of credit for helping him along.

i won't be cheering for the magic in the next round but i think they will beat the crap out of the hawks.
