It's incredibly painful sometimes. I can remember watching the 76ers when their entire offense was Iverson. Then he'd get into 'foul trouble' in the first half. Play 10 minutes less than usual while the team was a disaster with him off the court. Then he'd end the game with 3 fouls because he got none in the 2nd half.

In a playoff game.

Did they win the game?
Did they win the series?
Did they win the conference?


In a genuine way, you think you know more or less about basketball than Larry Brown?


It’s fun to practice your critical thinking skills on the computer where no one can truly harm you. But darn. Sometimes “conventional wisdom” correlates well enough with actual wisdom.

Spurs only a -300 after a 38 points spanking for the series!?!?!?!

Luckily (I hope...) I severely pounced on this bet!!!

-375 on duel now 👍

Now -1150 on bet online after yesterday's game 3 win, which seems like an lol overcorrection in the other direction!!!


I'm pretty sure that the idea is that a bench guy is far more likely to be effective on the court when there's, say, 3 minutes left in the second quarter, than in the last 5 minutes of a close game.


Really? You’re pretty sure? About THAT?


Well I can't read every coaches mind when they make a decision to bench a guy after they are called a foul.

OKC is a POS team

OKC gets a rigged whistle. Refs practically ensured they’d cover the spread down the stretch.

Like why do we even watch them?

I didn't bet the Lakers spread fwiw, just see things for what they are; and not what they appear to be to the sheeple.

Supposedly he was taking 20g a day.

I take 5 and it makes you thirsty, so only an idiot would get dehydrated from it. 20 a day is obviously stupid after you cycle into it, but I've done 10 for a week to cycle into it and really not much different than the 5 a day. No idea how an athlete taking it would ever be dehydrated if he just took in normal liquid.

Like I hate the other side effects of creatine, but being thirsty is so obvious that you should never be dehydrated from it.


I dont know what the story even is but he’s a 19 year old boy. Such an IDIOT

Pretty sure = 98%

Facts.


thunder won by 23, wtf? refs should've rigged it for the lolkers, bc thats the result i wanted...


Lakers were 11-20 on 3's in the 1st half. 3-10 in the 2nd.

I guess credit the defense but it seems like after that first half you'd try to just set up 3's anyway you can. Every play the 1st option should be to find a 3 for Hachimura or Kennard. They also didn't turn the ball over setting up 3's, they turned it over constantly trying to set up inside stuff that wasn't working.

Like what? I've taken it since I was 14 and the 1st container I bought had Donovan Bailey on it. Never had any other side effect.

Baseball teams were bunting for over a 100 years in spots they never do anymore because it took decades before the managers would listen to some math and logic.

It's been a consistent side effect for me. If I don't put in extra hydration, muscle cramps occur that never occur when I'm not taking creatine. Feet, calves, abs, hamstrings, forearms, etc, all over. Usually I'm working out a lot, not sure if the issue would happen otherwise.


I don't watch much NBA in the reg season. What is it that makes the Thunder so awesome, I still don't know? With massive teams its usually obvious, the old Bird Celtics, Magic Lakers, Jordan Bulls, Isaiah Pistons, etc. I guess the Thunder have tons of great pieces around the stars.

I think the Thunder had a 24-1 and 22-1 stretches in the reg season, now 7-0 in the playoffs. Frickin' historic. If they win it again SGA is in Jordan territory, but with better shooting. But I think San Anton will take them out.

You're the only guy I've heard say forearm cramps. I get them too. One night at the poker table they were so bad I could hardly play for a while. Like a football player coming out with a calf cramp, lol.

Gotcha. I have not noticed any side effects from my daily 5g intake. I do and have always hydrated a ton though. And yeah, I am often sore, but I feel it has more to do with getting punched/kicked/elbowed etc. Anyhow, end of derail, but yeah, that kid was reckless if he did take 20g a day and not notice/or simply repressed the side effects... I guess being at elite at your sport will require it at times though...


It's really easy to take creatine, and it's cheap, and lots of influencers lately are pushing high dose creatine. I'm surprised I haven't heard more of this.
