I'd like that first half a lot more if we hadn't just lost, but it wouldn't surprise me if we came out a little flat once again.

That would probably be the best bet at +170 if you do want to make a bet on the game, but I think I will avoid this one.
I'll enjoy the win. Not sure what I'll be wrong about. I know this team is good. I also know that this team has flaws. I've come grips with it. Unlike many I won't be in denial when the team loses and make up excuses for why they loss and I'll enjoy the wins because I know that the team did what they were suppose to do too overcome their short comings.
[QUOTE=WastedTalent;4998232]Summary: They're all mad we lost, they wanted to beat a top 5 team.
They all pick Cinci.
Of course they all say our lack of depth will be the difference.[/QUOTE]
According to their fan base, they believe their team is tougher mentally and physically! People say we lack depth, but winning takes more than God given physical talent and team depth.
Maybe number 8 should be number 1, but the mental component seems to be key in my 8 point perspective.
1) Avoid poor shot selection, 3-point shots early in a possession, off-balance and forced shots while focusing on offensive execution (Mental Issue)
2) Avoid making bad decisions that lead to turnovers such as those caused by bad passing, illegal screens, traveling, 3 second violations and dribble-penetration decisions (Mental Issue)
3) Avoid resting on defense! Force a bad pass or shot, keep the ball out of the paint and force a turnover. (Mental and Physical Issue)
4) Maintain a warrior-like focus on blocking out and rebounding. Lose this battle and you will likely lose the war. (Mental and Physical Issue)
5) Sprint, not just jog back on defense. Poor transition defense gives the game away. (Mental and Physical Issue)
6) Avoid cheap shots and stupid fouls. (Mostly mental Issue)
7) Play selflessly, not selfishly. When teams win, individual accolades take care of themselves. (Mental Issue)
8) Be coachable. A players attitude often determines his altitude. (Mental Issue)

I'm now blind in one eye and can't see outta the other from trying to read your small print.
And the attitude/altitude drivel has numbed m /brain.
Why the **** would i go to Pasadena? I would rather die than be surrounded by that many Iowa fans...
Actually grabbed the ML at +175 on bovada, couldn't pass that up and had to sweat it out but a nice early Christmas present for me. Thanks Nader!
