96 to 018 does seem about right.

No, Ibaka is 37.

The age thing funny and all (despite the racism). But both of Ibaka's parents were professional basketball players. So there is more published evidence of his age than probably any of ours...

39 and every Cavs player in double digits, including the mascot and ball boys

Just dropped $50 on the Cavs covering.

Have a feeling we will win tonight, every1 will play great. And then fans on forum will be confused, and wont know what to think about Magic.

What's the payout if that happens?

Just double the money you initially invested (usually).

I highly doubt it. For the Magic to win they will need to play very well and the Cavs to play well below their usual level. Whilst the Cavs could play well below their usual level, I have zero confidence in the Magic playing well.

Even if we play well I can not see us winning this game. I think we rebound though and find some personnel groupings that get better spacing. Thats baby steps.

I honestly think Ibaka is sick or injured. He played much better in preseason in terms of energy and effort.

Hmmm... seems like an easy way to double your savings in 2 hours

I think the spread is +12 meaning Cavaliers have to win by 13, it looks great on paper, but I've personally seen bigger anomalies.

I could see Cleveland blowing us out by the third (30+) and them putting in their bench for the entire fourth and us slowly get in within 10 or so.

A game like this I would buy two points so it's +10 instead of 12, not as big winnings but I would feel a lot more confident even with our last two performances.

I just want to see them come out and play with pride/effort. Last night should have embarrassed every player and I want to see that they actually care and won't let that happen again. With that said even with us playing with pride/effort we could still lose by 30 tonight. I said no though. I think everyone plays better, we actually make a couple more shots and we lose by 10-15.

Even last year when we were playing well we got blown out so imagine now.

Caption this:

Ibaka: "Save your energy, tomorrow's Cleveland game is the big one we have circled on our calendar."
Gordon: "Yup, the world will see. Everything I worked hard on this summer is going on full display vs Lebron."

I get $95 back if it wins. My original bet plus $45. My bookie has it at Cavs -11 (not 12) which is a solid bet. We've lost by more than that against the Heat and the Pistons. It's basically a win/win for me because I'll be ecstatic if we beat the Cavs (or even play them tight) but if they play like they have been I win some cash on this dumpster fire.

The only thing that worries me about my bet (otherwise known being optimistic about the Magic) is that the Cavs don't have the low post presence like Drummond and Whiteside and we might be better equipped to defend their wing scorers. Either way - go Magic! Or be really bad again... I'm good with either.

lol at how game threads have transformed in to conversation on how to make money off of Magic losses.

MoMM · Post #59 » by **MoMM** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 6:49 pm

I voted over 30, but in fact it will be less, however it will be a blowout for sure.

After Cleveland we will face 76ers in Philli and Sacramento/Washington at home, so I really think we could end up 3-3.

I need a win.

WIN!

...

Will we lose by over 30pts?
