Message: [QUOTE="john_entony, post: 7147337, member: 1020707"] MLB Atlanta Braves @ New York Mets: [B]Atlanta Braves (to win) /// 1.71 Last bet won. [/B]“If Tyrese Haliburton hadn't gotten an injury, Indiana would have won in Game 7!”. I've seen a lot of similar phrases today on forums and in Game 7 reviews. But is that actually true? Yes, certainly Tyrese is the leader in Indiana, but the Pacers wouldn't have played better if he hadn't gotten an injury. The fact is that every NBA team has a starting roster and a bench of role players and the head coach's job (in addition to tactical schemes and timeouts) is to allocate minutes so that his team plays the most efficiently. So Tyrese Haliburton's playing minutes were given to T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin. Both role players played perfectly! T.J. McConnell scored 16 points in 28 minutes (61% realization), as well as 1 steal, 1 block, 6 rebounds and 3 assists (yes, 7 turnovers, but Tyrese Haliburton had from 3 to 5 turnovers in this final series). Bennedict Mathurin is the player that helped Indiana lose by only 12 points, not 20-25 points. His performance: 24 points in 33 minutes, 40% three-point shot realization, 10 free throws hit from 10 attempts, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and only 3 turnovers. So saying Oklahoma got lucky in Game 7 is complete nonsense! An absolutely deserved win for the Thunder, no clutch intrigue, with complete control of the game in the 4th quarter. Therefore, I can claim that the bet won very easily! And I congratulate everyone who bet. [USER=103828]@BillyR23[/USER], [USER=1047249]@phantoma69[/USER], thanks for the kind words. You also have great predictions and I always follow them. My betting score is MLB 143-134 in favor of successful, NBA 163-182 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 9-16 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 4-11 in favor of unsuccessful. [B]New bet:[/B] Atlanta Braves on the road will beat New York Mets in the 1st game of the series. I was surprised at first that the bookies are considering home New York as an underdog, but then I saw the starting pitchers in the upcoming game. Spencer Schwellenbach (his ERA is “3.26”) is Atlanta's best starting pitcher! The Braves won 9 out of 15 games with him in the regular season. Spencer Schwellenbach played 4 games in his career against the Mets and Atlanta won 3 of them and his ERA in those games was “1.93”. The current Mets roster efficiency in games against Spencer Schwellenbach is 18%. Paul Blackburn (his ERA is “6.92”) will play as the starting pitcher in the upcoming game for New York. Yes, this is the exact pitcher who got 4 runs in 0.1 innings against Tampa Bay. I bet on that game and I remember that disaster and that pitcher very well. Paul Blackburn failed again in the last game and it happened against Atlanta! Surprise! He got 4 runs in 3.2 innings and made 2 walks. As a reminder, Atlanta made a sweep in their last series against the Mets. What kind of New York's chances are we talking about? Bet? Sure! :cool:;) [/QUOTE]
