Looks like yet another clueless clown falling well short of his anticipated percentage. What a shock.

The guy has potential to be decent. But to be one of the few people in all of America that even hits over 60% in a given season? Doesn't look like it. Clearly has no clue if he thought 70% was his goal.

For the 194726th time, no one in the history of America has ever hit over 70% in a season. You will not be the first, obviously.

I don't argue with trolls, obviously.

If you actually READ THE THREAD via the link I provided, and read the entire sequence of the last 40 seconds of that game... yet still couldn't realize that CHA/MEM last night was the worst bad beat of the season... then you are absolutely clueless.

Four or different occurrences that literally had less than a 1% chance of even happening, and all taking place in that final 40-second span, is MUCH FLUKIER than your little Memphis/Miami game

However, as mentioned, you're aforementioned Thunder/Wolves bad beat from last night is CLOSE to being as ridiculous and as much a bad beat, but not quite No. 1 like Charlotte/Memphis.

Uh, DID YOU READ THE FLUKE SEQUENCE OF PLAYS THAT OCCURED IN THE FINAL 40 SECONDS OF THAT GAME?

That's what officially makes it the biggest bad beat of the NBA season thus far. Common sense.

Hey moron, did you read the sequence of plays or even watch it??

Cha/Mem Under last night was the worst bad beat of the season so far. Your Okc/Min Over is VERY close, though, I'll give you that

Uhh, apparently you missed the huge Charlotte/Memphis thread last night that featured the entire play-by-play of the truly bizarre sequences from the final 40 seconds of that game.

General consensus is that it was the worst bad beat of the entire 2014-15 NBA season thus far.

Although, I do agree with you about Thunder/Wolves last night. ALMOST took that over and thank god I didn't; that was horrendous, 170 going into the 4th!

Is there a way to post videos on the Covers message board?

I have League Pass and League Pass Broadband so I just pulled up the video, and it was the most embarrassing non-call I've ever seen in an NBA game. Seriously, that is no exaggeration, and that's saying a lot.

I want to post a video of the James Harden no-call on Houston's last possession to illustrate just how comical and sad it is they didn't call anything.

So does anyone know? I have the video

Not complaining about that, only mentioned it. As I even said, these aren't two of the best FT shooting teams in basketball.

BUT, to combine for 23 missed FTs - which is a SEASON HIGH FOR A GAME IN THE NBA THIS YEAR - only adds to the frustration of "pushing" this Over instead of winning like myself, and everyone else who had it, should have because CLEARLY (50+ pts in every quarter), we deserved to win this game, especially based on the up tempo consistent play throughout the game.

Hey retard, I had Over 204 so I pushed. friggin Moron.

Can you read?

Oh, and how can I forget the 23 missed free throws???

Of course, these aren't two of the best FT shooting teams in basketball but 23 combined miss free throws?? Are you serious?? That is most likely the most combined miss free throws in an NBA game this season.

Wouldn't call it luck, I pounced on the Over as soon as the line came out this morning because 204 (Or even 205 for that matter) is unusually low for a Nuggets/Rockets matchup.

Vegas made a huge mistake making it that low and they were clearly let off the hook.

Oh, and I forgot the fact that, uh...

THERE WAS 1:19 TO GO AND I COULDN'T EVEN GET ONE friggin POINT IN 80+ SECONDS OF A BLOWOUT! No defense at all... but just my luck... no points... with no defense... in the final 80 seconds. Unreal.

And you're forgetting arguably the WORST part: Harden was CLEARLY friggin HACKED on that last Rockets possession. That is just absolute garbage.

I'm so sick of this friggin bullshit. I also had the worst bad beat of the season last night, Hornets/Grizzlies under

It really is just unbelievable. There are no words that do this garbage justice

Did anyone just see that FUCKING NUTS ending in Nuggets/Rockets??? The ref was standing right next to the Harden shot, CLEARLY HACKED ACROSS THE ARM, WHICH IS WHY THE FUCKING BALL WENT STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR, for a "24-second shot clock violation." Uh, obviously the shot wouldn't have gone STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR if he wasn't hacked across the arm with a loud sound.

Did the refs bet this game? Or were they aware the line was exactly 204 and were purposely trolling with everyone  by not calling anything here??? So unbelievable. If you get the chance, watch the end of this game. Truly unreal.

And of course, the Nuggets had THREE shots on their final possession with the Rockets playing no defense at all, and couldn't even score.

Yes, it's a "push" but everyone who watched knows this game should've went over. And since I had Over 204, I'm furious right now because I had a substantial amount on this game - and I feel like I just got screwed out of a couple hundred that I should have won.

Let's see: I had the Hornets/Grizzlies under historic bad beat last night - which most actually agree is the worst bad beat of the 2014-15 NBA season - and now this bullshit only one night later. It really is unbelievable.

Since he left San Antonio he has been. And this year he's shooting like 34% from three, which may even be below mediocre.

Overall, at this stage in his career and the amount of regression he's shown since leaving the Spurs, it's safe to declare that he has become not only a mediocre shooter, but a mediocre player overall as well.

By the way, his attempt was from three or four feet behind the three-pt line -- and against the best defender in the West, Tony Allen.

Still can't believe how all those events played out. The play-by-play doesn't even fully do it justice if you watched these last 40 seconds.

It especially sucks because anyone who knows totals knows this was a GRAVE MISTAKE on Vegas' part to leave a freaking Hornets/Grizzlies over/under as high as 193/194... that's just lazy, lazy work on their part; there's no way this matchup, in a haven for unders no less like Memphis, should've been that high. I pounded it overnight because it was basically inevitable that they'd lower the line, and I'm not rewarded for being all over this game in correct fashion.

Good to see most people agree. Worst Bad Beat of the Season thus far.

Lol I can't tell if you're trolling me or if that's a serious comment.

Obviously, there's a lot of teams across ALL sports that are either better or worse than what their record actually is. While not as obvious, I still think the general consensus is that it's pretty clear the Pistons, with their roster and above-average head coach, are not as bad as their horrendous record indicates (The most obvious example would be the Thunder, by the way)

Interesting point. But read the sequence of events and tell me that isn't supernatural.

Marc Gasol, 86% FT shooter, missing both free throws that would have made it a two-possession game.

Tony Allen, arguably the general consensus best defensive player in the Western Conference (The only thing he's known for and useful for), fouling a garbage outside shooter like Gary Neal... from four-feet behind the three-point line.

The Hornets tried a THREE on their last shot, meaning they weren't even playing for OT!!!!! Then a missed tip in! Then a weird backspin tip-in from several feet away by Gerald Henderson that had no business going in (And this against one of the best defensive rebounding teams of the past FIVE YEARS).

Supernatural. All of those things happening as isolated incidents probably have less than a 5% chance of happening (Watch, especially, the final possession of regulation). So for ALL of them to happen consecutively in the final 40 seconds of regulation? Worst Bad Beat of the Year, clearly.

Uh, this was a really, really dumb bet if you actually think the Pistons are as bad as their record.

Drummond, Monroe, Smith, Jennings, Butler, Augustin, Caldwell-Pope (Probably one of the more underrated players in the game)... and the return of JODIE MEEKS, which you apparently forgot about, that stretches out the floor BIG time and gives their whole offense an extra dynamic that they previously were missing.

That roster can absolutely beat most teams on any given night, home or away.

If you follow and bet the NBA every single day of the season like I do, you notice the bizarre happenings that can potentially happen on any given night. But this particular game takes the cake if you noticed what happened Fri night in Memphis.

First of all, whoever had the Under in Cha/Mem like I did made an absolutely brilliant call and we could not have been anymore right. Just so, so painful with how the ending of this game played out:

-Grizz are up 90-87 with about 40 seconds left and MARC GASOL and his 86% FT SHOOTING going to the line... he misses BOTH... at HOME (Someone want to see if that's ever happened with Gasol? Probably not considering how cool he always is under pressure)

-Hornets get the rebound and take it down the court. From, no exaggeration, THREE FEET BEHIND THE 3-PT LINE, Gary Neal is fouled by arguably the best defender in the entire National Basketball Association, Tony Allen. Let me repeat that: Bench player and mediocre outside shooter Gary Neal is fouled from welllllll behind the 3-pt line by arguably THE BEST DEFENDER IN THE NBA. Of course makes all three FTs.

-Grizz score on the ensuing possession with Gasol to go up 92-90 with like 10 secs left.

-Hornets (I think Kemba) try a three on the final possession - NOT EVEN TRYING TO FORCE OVERTIME - he misses, one tip misses (Aren't the Grizzlies a top three defensive rebounding team in the NBA?!?!?) before a second weird tip from relatively far out (With backspin, as noted by the announcers) by Gerald Henderson ties it at the buzzer 92-92.

You cannot make this garbage up. I will go on record of saying this was probably the worst bad beat of the year (Even above that infamous Kings/Mavericks over from a little earlier in the season that "lost" by a pt). Go through that entire sequence of plays again and tell me this under "loss" was not the worst bad beat of the 2014-15 NBA season thus far.

Truly unbelievable. No other words to describe it - except maybe "supernatural" for how that fluke series of events of played out. I would estimate the percentage for that exact precise timeline to play out the way it did would eaaaasilyyy be below 1%. Period. A historic bad beat indeed.

Anyone that claims they can hit 70% is an absolute clown. No offense buddy but clearly you have no clue about gambling if you think you can hit "70%"...

You do know that in the history of basketball gambling, there has never been one person to hit 70% in a season, right? Very few even make it over 60% for a full season (With a proper sample size of games and not just one every few days)

Not trying to hate, not sure how naïve you are, you definitely have some potential to be decent based on your write-ups, but you should be going for 55-59%... that's where the true elite end up in the entire country. Maybe ten people in any given season land on 60-61%? But you're certainly not ending up above that -- nor is anyone else, obviously.
