I bet $7,600 on the Jazz to beat the Raptors

Insanely talented?

They got an insane amount of shooting and Gobert. The two athletic guys they signed in the off-season couldnt even get on the court. The Jazz are a team with little flexibility with their roster. Their #1 option is probably one of the least talented playoff #1 options as well.

The ceiling of this team is +10 to +12 in Net Rating. So yes, insanely talented. We have shot creators, we have capable defenders, we have shooting, we have guys who can create for others, we have one of if not the best defender in the NBA, and we have a good coach. This is a team capable of pushing 60 wins.

These guys just cant get their s*** together.
 
Again only Conley and the bench with positive win shares (+-) tonight. Bradley Niang and Clarkson leading the pack. Mitchell, Bogey, Gobert and O'Neale, -30, -23, -22 and -21 respectively.
 
thanks brother. Hurts big time. I’m far from rich. In over my head. Come have a drink at GVR with me sometime
I was rooting mostly for you to win tonight. Sorry it didn't work out. May I ask how much a sports handicapper such as yourself can expect to make in a year?

It’s a wild roller coaster. I got really lucky this season and made a bunch on the Kansas City chiefs. Them and the Jazz been my teams since I was a little kid. Unlike the jazz though they actually have a bonafide superstar in Patrick Mahomes. Sadly our jazz “all stars” will never win us a championship. Honestly dont think Mitchell or Rudy worth the super max

Hey, better luck next time!

And no, neither are worth the super max. Rudy is too limited offensively and Mitchell is a tweener.

Do you think that Mahomes' new contract will limit their chances at a dynasty, or even repeating?

Prescott's contract could be $350 million. Stupid and crippling for the Boys.

Mahomes will be more than whatever DP will get, and of course should be.
 
we just aren't on the level of an elite team, I keep preaching that Bogey is just a role player not a starter, he dominates the crappy teams and is a no show against better teams. I'm very disappointed in donovan and Rudy tonight, bogey was a joke. all my Raptor friends in Toronto said they were gassed and the jazz weren't able to take advantage. we are fools gold man
 
@Wes Mantooth have you ever won any of the bigger bets you've made posts about?

Ha. I’ve never bet anywhere near that amount and I don’t bet that big anymore. The last big bet like that I recall was when I had $1,000 on the Pats to win the Super Bowl vs the Falcons. So that comeback was awesome. In general, I just do not want to take that financial hit if I lose and the stress that comes with that. It wrecks me psychologically for a week or so. It sucks.
 
As an example I made a parlay last night on FanDuel at 52:1. Needed Ingles to score 12.5+ points which he did and tonight I need Lebron, Davis and LeVert to all have 2 or more steals. The odds seemed too good to pass up. But I risked literally just 50 cents to win $26.
 
I have this weird urge to do something irrationally destructive. Anyone else feeling that right now?

Jazz players SHOULD but game in and game out they play like bizzles. At what point does Rudy get tired of this team's soft play and the refs' bad calls and just start throwing elbows like he's Malone?
