Congratulations Thiago Splitter the interim Blazers coach

With a name like that im worried we may see the headline of "Tiago Splitter caught up in blackjack probe"

Davis and the Sydney Kings getting La Lakers love in from the CBL refs.

Doesn't Davis play dirty

Jones also allegedly shared information about another top Lakers player ahead of a January 15, 2024 game after learning from a trainer the player was hurt. Fairley bet $100,000 against the Lakers for that game, though the injury report only listed the player as probable.

The Lakers won the January 15 game and the player performed normally. Fairley subsequently asked Jones to repay the $2,500 he paid for the information.


Refund requests on tips. Tremendous.

Culture?

did he play with patty?

Yes. Amongst many many others

So when do we get our first rounder for Rozier refunded as a bonus bet pick?

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Well I for one fully support this FBI investigation since it’s secured us a new coach

I second this, not having watch Rozier again.

Although if we get in a battle for pick 1 lottery odds, some point shaving shenanigans may have come in handy.

Pacers doing so well against the Thunder.

It doesnt seem like this spot fixing scam (which is really what it is) was even that profitable for them, compared what they earned during their careers or as coach.

If Chauncey and co. give Dictator Donald a donation they'll be let off scot free.

 

[Gak Attack]

OKC loving OT's

 

[Gak Attack]

Shai gets away with some absolutely blatant pushes

 

[Gak Attack]

Refs making sure there's not a third OT

 

[MaxiBont]

26 FTA for Shai is wild even in a 2OT game

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Wonder if the current president of the United States is under investigation for Stock Market manipulation

 

[Scythe]

Aaron Gordon may be the greatest player of all time

 

[Scythe]

Cracking game after that OKC/Indy slopfest

 

[Nicho50]

Joker had 3 chances to get it done and couldn’t.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Wouldn't mind a playoff series between these two. Winner gets the Andre Igoudala Cup.

 

[NSWCROW]

No idea what Adelman told them at HT but don't ****en do it again

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Boom! You’ve just done Pick’em

 

[Lingsface]

NBA could not be happier with what has happened so far.
Wemby had me cheering by myself, one of the most jaw dropping performances I have seen.
Edgecombe big debut.
Two games today, two 50 pieces and OT thrillers.
What a start, welcome back NBA.
