My “no way the Spurs win tonight without Kawhi take” is a perfect reminder how useless strong predictions are in the NBA.
To be fair, I think the Spurs winning Game 6 by 39 points (!) at Houston without Kawhi, a move that was essentially the Spurs punting Game 6 in favor of Game 7, is one of the 2 or 3 least likely game/score results I’ve ever seen.
One other was Ohio State 59, Wisconsin 0 (2014) after Barrett was injured; Wisconsin was a 4 point favorite.
HAHA. Just listened to the end. You called it a bloodbath for Houston in game 6. Man. James Harden is WEAK.
yeah…..as if I wasn’t spooked enough about making predictions…
Great stuff, Tom. Really enjoyed this.
