As absolutely awful as Toronto was for the last 8 minutes or so, they are going to get out with an 8 point lead. Could have been much more, but still

The powers that be at SoSH should start a gambling site.

There are enough degenerates around here to keep a sportsbook fat and happy...

Your post may be in jest but... It could be done. There are pay-per-head sites that manage the lines for you as a bookie and just take a monthly fee per player. The problem I think you’ll run into is how to manage the end of week settle for people who don’t have physical meet ups. All of the common payment services - PayPal, Venmo, Cash, etc. will eventually cancel accounts when they detect suspicious activity.

Also, legal activity obviously putting a legit site at risk.

Cousins has been awful on defense tonight. They need him on offense and don’t really have any other options, but he has to be better.

It was purely in jest:redwine:

I like reading about all the prop bets being made

maybe the Ad Dept at SoSH should be lobbing a call into FanDuel for some ad revenue...

Curry looks like he’s starting to press a bit. And it’s not working.

Ok good. I like taking money away from the professional bookies. I’d hate taking it away from SoSH or the Jimmy Fund ;)

But enough about your sex life, and back to gambling...

I can’t root for the Raptors solely because of Drake. I know that makes me petty but I can’t help it.
It's nice to win my bet halfway through the 3rd quarter, but now I'm bored. I pretty much can't stand either of these teams, so at this point, anything short of an epic performance or close game kind of sucks. Might have to check out some 4th quarter props...

No that just makes you human.

But he has two GSW tattoos and would openly root for Lebron’s Cavs and whatever other team was in the Finals, so no one is really s ure what a vote against Drake means.

I'm pretty sure I can jump higher than Cousins at this point. He's unplayable. Golden State should put their athletes on the floor and just run. Let Draymond attack and dish. I don't see any other options.

Draymond is one of the worst offensive players on an elite team. Everything is just north to south, 200 mph, so damn predictable

Kawhi plays bigger than he looks. It probably helps that he has extendible arms.

The Ws have gotten crushed by the refs in the 4th quarter. The missed goaltending, the wrong call on bogut’s tip, and the missed travel cost them 7 points.

Curry's effort tonight was impressive. What I think about an individual player means naught, but I tip my cap.

Toronto did themselves a favor letting the Warriors keep it close. GS would've been better off getting down 20 and resting Curry for the whole 4th. Anyway, very curious to see if KD and Klay try to play on Friday.

I think even a half assed effort by kd and klay win them game 4. The final score isnt indicative of how close this game was.

Cousins is killing them.
Totally agreed, though in fairness, Kerr's hands were somewhat tied with the Looney injury. It was obvious basically from the tip that Boogie had nothing. Forget KD and Klay — even just Looney playing his usual killer D for 24 of the 38 minutes they were forced to give Cousins + Bell + Jerebko makes this a much closer game.

Hat tip to the Raps, tho: literally every one of those fuckers (who played) had a great game: Lowry, Green, Kawhi, Siakam, Gasol, FVV, Ibaka. Missing three of the Ws best defenders didn't help, but still.

Great game, Steph. Come back soon, KD and KT.

I'm not gonna tell you what's a good or bad reason to pick a rooting interest for a series... but what's the issue with Drake? Just seems like a really involved superfan who loves the game and the team. Is he a particularly shitty person or something?

Have you heard his “music”?
