Yeah.

It's kind of a bold pick, but the 76ers are a tough team that plays hard on both ends with what they have. Also have had two straight losses, so I think it's a legit possibility they'll get a win tonight. Both teams played the night before.

Doesn't mean it can't as much go to the Raptors, I just went with Philly.

Also not like the Raptors are a great team or something. Above-average, though.

Any team, any given game can beat you in the NBA. The historical evidence has been there for many years. Especially this season.

Now if I'm wrong about Philly winning, I don't want to see any unecessary gloating to me from Raptor fans for picking a generally average at best team in the 76ers. As I know there are numerous very enthusiastic Raptor fans on this board (including you TheRaptor!). In this case, that's just not being respectful, when I was fair in my explanation of why I picked the Sixers. I'll own up I'm wrong, regardless.

I've got the Knicks winning in the toilet bowl matchup of the day.

ballings is an idiot and he always picks the Raptors opponent every single game, so don't worry about him

The Knicks have looked a lot better the past few games too. Miami stinks. There the worst team in the NBA and probably will be for a while.

No, I didn't mean you weren't respectful in your post, I didn't have a problem with that. Hence my response to it wasn't hinting to you being so.

The quoted post was intended to certain Raptor fans after the game (as there are with all teams), if I was wrong. Because being like I described wouldn't be necessary and would be acting disrespectful, with how I posted about the game.

I don't know how you are with gloating and things like that, but from over-time with several of your posts here, I'd say I know you're a very enthusiastic Raptors fan. So the possibility was there for that. Now I think you've made it clear there won't be any of the aformentioned type from you after the game, if I'm wrong.

ballings was bold enough the other day to make a prediction that the Bobcats would beat Orlando, however, also in the same post he said they would lose. Then after the Bobcats win, he comes back and gloats (as he usually does) and shows us the post where he predicts the Bobcats to win, but conveniently edits out the part where he said we would lose. :roll:

Woah, Bowens, I forgot about that till you just brought it up, again.

I'll clear it up for you, since you misunderstood what I said.

I never said the Bobcats would lose that game, or said I didn't know who would win the game. Predicting Charlotte to win was my definitive prediction. I said if the Cats were going to lose, I think it'd at least be in competitive fashion. So, that was irrelevant to what actually happened, so I didn't include it in my quote of the post-game post I made.

I think that's strange how that was still on your mind, and decided to try and get at me about it - along with what Salami n' cheese already tried to do in his post. A poor, unecessary decision, and you're just wrong, again.

Also, if you're going to post about me, post directly to me. Not in response to somebody else, who posted about me in response to somebody else, who also didn't reply directly to me. That's childish. If you have me on ignore and are doing it, well, that's just more immature.

Maybe I'm getting too into it, but I like how this team has been playing as of late, and I don't see why it doesn't continue tonight. Cats win.

At least a competitive loss.

A win is a win and a loss is a loss. Show me where is the column in the standings for a "competitive loss?" Do you get points for that?

It looks like you were covering your tracks here, you know, just in case the Bobcats lose which was a very real possibility considering they looked like crap in the first half and never beat Orlando.

So in reality you weren't sure what the outcome would be, but still came back to "gloat" over predicting a win. :crazy:

I'm confused... Is he a Kings, Spurs, or Bobcats fan? I thought he was a Kings fan the whole time?
