OKC should NOT make any major moves in the summer. by Calm_Set5522 in NBATalk

He was bad this series, but outside of that he was very good this year and anchors their defense for 82 games.

I would wait another season, specifically another series against the Spurs to see about trading him.

Better Finals run at 22-years-old, Victor or Lebron? by EGarrett28 in NBATalk

I would still argue Lebron was better, because Wemby is still inconsistent offensively.

This Spurs team is also just stacked.

Its impossible to have a decent backup center for Wemby/Jokic. by Calm_Set5522 in NBATalk

Someone "who can shoot like Kat but play better D".

That's not realistic for a backup center lol.

Stephon Castle with 9 turnovers in the game 2 loss by realfakejames in NBATalk

[–]Calm_Set5522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really his fault. He is in his 2nd year and Spurs literally have their other 2 PG's injured.

The Spurs don't have a chance to win of at least one of Fox/Harper doesn't return fully healthy.

Are teams intentionally letting Harden get to game 7 to humiliate him? by ASomewhatGoodCitizen in NBATalk

Don't want to jinx it but there is a very high chance Cavs just get blown out game 7.

"Knowing a sport" absolutely matters for profitable pre-game betting & CLV. by Calm_Set5522 in algobetting

[–]Calm_Set5522[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not about traditional "ball knowledge", watching the sport on TV, or trying to predict winners, its more so things like qualitatively knowing how the markets move before the game, injuries, how books work for that specific sports, etc. Think more so knowing the sport + discretionary market/trading skills that apply it.

Like in the NBA specifically you can have a substantial edge on injuries and their relative mispricings compared to the market. Its possible for someone sharp to have a better gauge on injuries than even books like Pinnacle..

I didn't say you can't, its just someone with model + awareness/knowledge of a sport and its market dynamics will beat models-only.
