Lets beat the Heat for the LULZ 8-)

Yup, that's what I miss the most - our inexplicable LolCats wins over contenders. This tanking season would have been a lot more tolerable if he got random wins on nights like this one.

It seems impossible, but I really hope our guys put up a fight and lose by less than 10 points. Just don't let the Heat rest their three and play bench warmers 20+ minutes.

**** Wade. He cost me some money early in the season with that close loss.

Go 'Cats. We'll lose by 30 though.

Man it is strange how things work, last season I was disgusted because we were too good to get the #1 pick so this year I wanted us to leave no doubt but unfortunately we did and now we are too bad to get the #1 pick in all likelihood.

That makes no sense. No team has positive odds to get the #1 pick. The best you can hope for is 25%, and you get that by being the worst team. Mission accomplished

It hasn't happened since what '04 though? That is what I'm basing it off of.

Yeah but just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean you stop trying. The goal is to put yourself in the best position to succeed. They've done that. All we can do now is wait and see if the Basketball Gods decide to smile or smite

Assuming the lottery isn't rigged, that's a very uneducated (not stupid, just haven't taken the right classes yet) view of the statistics. Assuming the lottery isn't rigged, a 25% chance really is a 25% chance.

Actually, I might just place a bet on this game before I leave the house. Maybe two bets; one on the moneyline and one on the spread.

It's just one of those games where we will f*ck up and win.

Unfortunately, David Stern occasionally stars as the Basketball God.

Miami did lose in overtime to the Bulls last night. There's a chance they'll be tired and dejected. There's a chance they'll be hungry. The odds have to be stacked huge though with the comparative records!

But only for basketball reasons

Speaking of superfans, I haven't seen Battery lately.

Go 'Cats. We'll lose by 30 though.

And he wants to cost you more as a member of US olympic team. Does he have a family to feed?

Wade's not playing tonight. We have a chance to stay within 40.
