is the decision tree binary?

He wouldn't go anywhere that would take him
Unless a team just really wants to sell tickets

Hypothetically, if he asked for a trade and they accommodated his request, would there be a single suitor?
The Kings, Knicks and Nets would probably all throw away their next 50 draft picks for him

What an awesome day of texting my coworkers reminding them that we have bets @ 40 wins for the Lakers.

Poor Kobe though.

Randle might have a broken leg or something

I've been all aboard the Julius Randle hate train talent-wise, but this sucks if his leg is broken. I don't wish that on anybody. He seems like a decent kid.

RIP Randle

Confirmed broken. Sucks for a first game as a rookie, gl on recovery.

Well that's depressing

I want 3/1 on the Bulls winning the Eastern Conference. any takers?
10-29-2014 , 01:26 AM
So Suns -10 is just as much a lock as the rockets were tonight right?
10-29-2014 , 01:26 AM
Kobe would go to Sacto to take Rudy's 35 shots a game at cherrypicker.

Simmons would post bail when Boogie gets booked for the McSorley.

I can't full bandwagon Dallas until RJeff gets hurt, which will never happen.

Dear lord I forgot about this. They don't strike me as the types who would even think of offering a buyout...
10-29-2014 , 01:34 AM
One of them offered to double his bet (of 100) if I made it 35 games midway through the third.

I'm interested. How much you thinking?

I think 2-1 decisions are MUCH closer than generally acknowledged. Certainly you try to get a reasonable look quickly, but all notions of shot selection can't go out the window.

I felt bad and said no, he insisted, so I did. It allows me to make bad bets here

Speaking of which, I forgot to lay some dough on Nurkic ROY.

Interesting take. I always thought pulling up for a three was the play pretty much all the time, but my fuzzy memory tells me that they rarely go in. Maybe that's why guys like steph and billups are so devastating offensively.
10-29-2014 , 01:54 AM
I too would like to get in on 3-1 for Bulls to make the Finals.

Bobby and Danny, whichever one of you doesn't take the bet with cruizn, I'll take it with you. (my $100 for 300).

I'm not looking for an angle here, I'm just from Chicago and think this could be our year, and I'd like to throw some $$ on it.

Getting pretty excited for NBA
I think that's about right. His skillset is just so nice compared to the other similarly-sized Euro bigs Jonas and PEK. Neither of those guys could defend the rim very well, pass, and perhaps most importantly steal like Nurkic. His godly PER was actually drug down by a propensity to foul and turn the ball over, and I think those are two traits that are generally fixable.

All this and he really wasn't even supposed to play in the NBA this year.
