    Anyone know wtf is up with a book requiring all kinds of documents and ID to withdraw? They won’t even let me log in until I upload it all.

    Its bovada. Only requested like 20% of the balance in there so it seems kind of sketch. What’s really sketch is not letting me login.

    I love their layout and prop options but this is annoying.

    I just looked at their new withdrawal policy. Yeah, that sucks. You gotta fill out their credit card verification form and email that and a pic of your card to them. Looks like you only have to do it once though. Should be fast if you email that short form to them with the pics attached.

    I guess I was grandfather'd in since ive been with them for so long. The check usually shows up in about 10-12 days unless you do the quick pay, which they charge extra for.

    I don't think the money works in Houston, nor do I see Cleveland facilitating that deal. GSW had Curry on a peanuts contract at the time and Durant took a big pay cut. LeBron is certainly not taking a cut anymore. Houston would have to gut that team, but they don't have the young players to entice Cleveland in my opinion. Anyone Houston could trade is probably integral to their championship hopes.

    I got an email saying they locked my acct because of another account with similar info...ummm what?

    Uploaded everything. Hopefully it goes smoothly so I don’t have to move everything to another book or go back to nitro.

    Just a terrible third quarter. Lazy defense. If we played more like we did in the first half and fourth quarter, we can compete with anyone. That third quarter loss was too big a mountain for us

    KAT is just so damn good that i find myself rooting for him. Too bad he ran into a machine tonight.

    Harden, Paul, Capela = 29-1
    Outstanding!

    Whiteside can be lazy on defense sometimes.

    Philly cannot stop turning the ball over and Miami is thankfully taking advantage right now.

    Refs are pretty bad tonight but Philly is atrocious shooting the ball so far. I wonder if Miami can actually hold a big lead.

    10 wins in a row.

    12-1 since digging the secret tunnel to beat up the Clippers, lol.

    Harden, Paul, Capela = 30-1

    Same. I was watching him yesterday and thinking of our 4 years together and told myself to cheer up, because surely our heat will be that good again. Then reality hit...this might be the best player ever, definitely top 2. The NBA may not ever see another player this great, let alone the heat, with 2 other HOF players on the same team.

    I think Im just gonna buy a DVD of the 2010-2014 seasons to keep reliving it.

    Celtics suck. They’re never gonna beat Cleveland, much less GSW. They should trade Kyrie to the Pelicans so we can team him up with AD and Boogie.

    [yes, this is ridiculous, but just as ridiculous as Boston fans thinking we’re gonna trade AD for Jason Tatum and some picks]

    Bosh says he still wants to play. It would be pretty funny if LeBron ended up back in Miami and we gave Bosh another shot.

    Wached the game yesterday, low scoring and it was fun all around.

    Here’s somethig we need less of:
    Dj Khaled and Kevin Hart.. khaled is incoherent and says nothing 98% of the time. Kevin Hart sounds like a try-hard with those knock knock jokes.

    I’ve been tired of DJ Khaled. Dude doesn’t actually produce, I’m pretty sure he just pays for features and releases albums full of generic beats and crap radio songs.

    Anyone that considers "DJ" Khaled a real music producer deserves to be shot. He stinks and has never made an actual song nor does he work parties. He is a famous for no reason buffoon that deserves obscurity or death.

    I wonder if Cuban is going to be forced out for this:

    https://www.si.com/nba/2018/02/20/d...-misconduct-investigation-mark-cuban-response

    No way he wasn't aware that his CEO and head of HR were doing this stuff. Obviously legal was also aware considering they forced the beat writer to sign a contract barring him from 1-on-1 contact with female employees.

    Yeah dont count on it. Cuban’s covering all corners as we speak.

    By the way, what kind of monster starts a conversation like this:

    Uss: I know what youre doing this weekend.

    Woman: huh?

    Uss: youre going to get gang banged.

    -_-

    That's not even 1950's era, "hey toots" sexism. That's poorly socialized narcissist with power sexism.

    Edited to add: It can't have been easy for normal men either. I would have punched someone talking like that. Yikes.

    This happened during the 2010-2011 season. I guess it’s only fair they vacate the title and the runner up gets it. Trying to remember who that was...

    What offer can we give the spurs to bring that guy to Miami in the offseason?
     
  37. CaribPhin

    CaribPhin Guest

    Pop being the coach means no player is definitely gone from the Spurs. Either way, the Spurs have a guaranteed year with Kawhi and will do whatever they can over the next two half-seasons to convince him to work it out. Management is mad that doctors have cleared him to play yet Leonard doesn't personally want to take the court yet. I feel like Pop will let it blow over, then convince Leonard to stay next season. Management/Ownership is almost always short-sighted and too stupid to realize that their short-term gains end up being long-term losses.

    No idea how pop handles this but I’m sure he could turn Dragic and Whiteside into contenders. We know he loves euros.

    Whoever has the first pick next year, if you pass on deandre ayton, youre going to regret it... what a freaking beast of a man he is.. you can not pass on possibly the next Shaq.. 7 foot 1 250 lbs, rock solid, above average post skills and he is just 19..
