I did and assumed you knew that. Now do you now understand what I did with the bet?
Did you hedge to break even, or to make the same profit with either result (or somewhere in between)?

About 15% more on the Hawks. Round figures for ever 1k I collected on the Hawks it would drop to 850 if TB won. No way will I ever pass up that 100% sure thing. It the end it actually worked against me since the Hawks won. Leaving the bet alone would have returned the max results but with risks.

Here's Magic Johnson's opinion on LeBron:
"This is as good as we've ever seen. It won't be the top because he did lose. So we're going to have to still go with (Michael) Jordan as one, but now he can probably take number two spot. It will be 1-A Jordan and 1-B LeBron," Johnson said.

@CM, what do you think?  :)

He needs glasses?  :)

Jordan's teams were 6-0. MJ did what he had to do to win those championships with a good/great supporting cast.

Swap MJ and LB in this series and MJ scores 50 a game with less assists and rebounds. He is not going to keep passing to guys who miss shots.

You're awfully confident in an untestable hypothesis - very brave of you.

We are in JS.  :)

I forgot to add MJ would have more steals and plays better defense.

Who do the Cav's let go? Only a couple players are locked up.

Is JR locked up ?  I'd let him go either way.

It's not about any individual team.

It's the collective failure of all 3 pro teams, time and time again, blown opportunity after blown opportunity, for the entire lives of most of that city's inhabitants.

And that exists nowhere but CLE so quit your whining and let us commiserate and create new names for each failure in peace.

apparently San Diego has you beat in years, but only 2 teams
(not counting the clippers 6 years, rockets 4 years
although CLE had the barons (hockey) for 4 year)

I love how these stories take a life on of their own. First it was Delly now it is the Lebron greatest performance by an individual in finals history story. I will give them one thing, it is a good read.

No but he should be.

(He has a $10M player option for next year.)
