The Celtics Are Underdogs In Game 6? Wait What?
“We played good enough to give ourselves a chance to win. That’s all you can ask for.”
- Lebron James after Game 5 in which he had 1 basket in the last 8 minutes
The Celtics are 1.5 point underdogs in game 6. Let me repeat that again. The Celtics are 1.5 point underdogs in game 6. I have no words for this. I have no explanation. This is the strangest, most inexplicable line I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve been gambling for 30 years now. It’s almost like when we close this thing out tomorrow the Heat will still be favored to win the series. I mean how many more times do we have to prove it? The Heat aren’t underachieving. The Celtics aren’t overachieving. We have outplayed them for 4 straight games because we’re flat better than they are. That’s what the Lebron lovers don’t get. That’s what the people who say he’s the best player in the game don’t seem to grasp. When you disappear in the 4th quarter of every single big game in your entire life that’s who you are. When Paul Pierce steps up and drills a three right in your eyeball with the game on the line that’s who he is. When one team thrives on the moment and loves the spotlight and the other cringes and hides from it that’s who both teams are. There is nothing flukish about what is happening. To quote Wade Garret. “They are pussies. We ain’t.” That’s not an opinion. That’s a fact. Yet somehow after spending the last week beating the Heat’s brains inside out we are once again an underdog at home in a building where the Heat literally get the shakes just thinking about. I guess there is only one thing left to do and that’s put Vegas out of business once and for all. I just hope I don’t get arrested for stealing. Yes I’m putting my entire 2 million Internet net worth on the C’s. That’s right people you’re looking at a future 4 million internetaire
This sets-up the easiest bet in all of professional sports… the NBA game six to force a game seven.
Take everything you have and sell it; take every credit card you own and get a cash advance; barrow everything you can from every friend and family member and then go to the bank and barrow as much money as they will lend you and BET IT ALL ON THE TEAM THAT IS TRAILING IN THE 3-2 SERIES!
Today’s rigged NBA will not pass-up a Game 7 with Lebron vs. the Celtics! Keep the register ringing.
the girls rack in the summer swag ad at the top of every page is unbelievable. we need a wake up asap
put Vegas out of business
bahahaaaaa!!!
If I buy a shirt, can you get rid of the mobile ads?
im sure the line stems more from the celtics record in closeout games….while the celtics were an easy bet last night (now 9-0 in game 5 of a tied series), since 2008 with the big 3 they are 10-12 in closeout games. Despite being at home and legs and letdown drives the spread more for this game…then add in stern and its a sure bet for the Heat in game 6
i would save your money for game 7..this is not the game to bet celtics
Unreal, Pres steals this shirt from deadspin even after a commenter joked last night about him stealing it. Keep calling them Barstool Jr though. At least you still have the starfish as the unofficial Barstool emblem…..you know, the starfish design you stole from a bathing suit maker. Amazing someone can make a career out of stealing other people’s ideas. The beauty is you steal other people’s ideas and then criticize them for being unoriginal. #poser.
What did I tell you a month ago about shirts that try to capitalize on a soundbite or something with a shelf life of 30 seconds. How are those baghead sox shirts selling? How about the falcon ones? Even if the C’s win, this will be forgotten about before the shirts arrive in the mail. Picture someone wearing this in a month. “no, I’m not a heat fan, but do you remember how after game five of the ECF, there was this little kid in Miami who was saying good effort to the players after the game?” yeah, that was funny wasn’t it? Well I got it on a T shirt, so let me have some of that pussy.
Honest to God. You may hate Boston, you may hate el pres, but if you’ve ever gambled a penny in your life you have to recognize this is the most ridiculous line in the history of gambling. Just insane. I didn’t know David Stern owned Vegas, too.
lol I wouldn’t touch that game with your cock. NBA … we’ve all seen the refs can dictate the game if they want to. I’m not saying the C’s are going to lose, I’m just saying it’s not worth betting the NBA. Sit back and enjoy the game gamble free. Or Slam Rondo over 17 pnts. lol
5MM has it dead right, I will 99.99999% certainty promise a game 7 here. Stern just stands to make toooo much money to let that not happen. fuck stern, fuck the NBA, fuck the heat, fuck lebron. i’m over this rigged bullshit mannnn
All the hockey idiots with their fixed game theories, beautiful. Keep watching a sport where they throw out the rules in the playoffs and the luckiest team wins, as evidenced by this year’s #8 seed about to SWEEP in the finals.
Hey guys, polkpanther here, the Deadspin commenter who made the original shirt. Want to thank elpresidente for blatently ripping off the design (which is on sale here: http://skreened.com/polkpanther/good-effort) especially since I am selling them with 100% of the profits benefiting a local cancer hospital in my home state of Pennsylvania.
Uh Oh Pres………..not a good look
Good thing you donate the profits from Protest Dog to Mass Dog shelters, wait, what ?
You can suck a fart out of my ass.
Im 100% fine with El Pres donating his profits on this shirt to CVS for obscene amounts of hair gel, fapping lotion and nose hair trimmers.
Polk Panther…you are legit retarded…I also came up with the idea…I think everyone who has ever made a T – shirt on Custom Ink thought about making this T-shirt the second they saw the kid saying good effort. You’re not Tony Stark, you designed an unoriginal T shirt….not a nuclear weapon…
Wildmanpete you know nothing about hockey. The Kings are not your typical 8 seed. They made some late season trades that put them over the top, plus their goalie is playing out of his mind.
I’d rather watch a sport with some parity, rather than knowing that the top 4 seeds are always going to advance. Seriously, the NBA is terrible. No need to even watching the entire game, just watch the last 3 minutes and you see everything. What a terrible sport.
also, Scott Baio is spot on…no more T shirts that are relevant for under 24hrs…
I’m not saying I have a head full of original thought, but give me a little credit for being the first to get it out there (at 11:40 last night), and at least all my proceeds go to a great cause.
Sampson stole my line: 5minutemajor is DEAD right. As a Celts fan, the only reason to watch game 6 is to get your mind blown by how crooked a professional sports league can be, on world-wide TV.
why is wildmanpete still here? didn’t he get outed for having like 3 different user names? all he does is bitch about everything BSS, and call people old – his cunty act is tired
Last nights line was way more rediculous than tomorrow night’s line. +8? are you kidding me? With that said the Celtics close it out in 6! The game’s where they have failed to close out the games on the first try were on the road. This is in Boston! They have only lost 1 close out game at home in the Big 3 Era! Make this a mortal lock Pres! Celtics +1.5!
P.S. Let the Haters keep on Hating! We are just gonna jizz in their face when the Celtics prove them wrong once again! Lets Go Celtics!
the Kings were ONE regular season win away from winning their division and being the 2 seed
Portnoy needs to respond asap. He said it’s not a good look for Bron/Wade to skip last night’s podium-presser. Well, it’s also not a good look for a popular blog to steal a t-shirt design and pocket all the profits - especially when the designer pledged his profits to charity. Time to explain.
Buy the shirt from the original. It’s for charity! http://skreened.com/polkpanther/good-effort
http://www.sportspickle.com/opinion/12851/the-good-job-good-effort-kid-meme-update
So wildmanpete, $100 you take the Celtics and I take the Heat for game 6? This crap is so rigged it isn’t funny, that explains why the line is where it is…evidently Vegas and betters knows it too. You know the NBA is only for entertainment purposes only, right?
the only one on here with half a brain is pinkgatorade – 100% agree
Hey Portnoy you prick, you blatantly stole PolkPanther’s idea off of Deadspin Up All Night from Last night (http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17owbe6geb4snjpg/original.jpg). You just switched the color scheme. You really don’t help in disproving Jewish stereotypes.
Did Polk Panther invent the question mark as well?
Someone else already said it, but I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE after someone posted a link to this shirt in your comment section yesterday joking how you would steal if from Deadspin, you actually stole it from Deadspin.
Can you steal air?
Obviously everybody had the same idea at the same time… I just did something about it. And we’ve already sold a slew, and like I said, 100% of the proceeds will go to the PSU Cancer Institute (where I received radiation treatment last year and is an all-around amazing place).
I get elpresidente needs to make some money and great minds think alike – but I challenge him to do the same and donate his proceeds of that shirt to a similar cancer institute in the Boston or Miami area.
Who cares who invented the tshirt? You bros need to relax. Let’s all have a fine Bacardi strawberry daiquiri. Made with the finest high fructose corn syrup.
Also, how about yesterday’s smoke show? Hachee machee
Bro we’ve done something about it 100 out of 100 times. We sell tshirts. We had 100 emails with the same freaking shirt. I will donate the money. To myself. Now scram…
wildmanpete you really are retarded aren’t you. lucky? the kings have the hottest goaltender in the league right now with quick. same reason why the bruins won last year, tim thomas was standing on his head. and the rules don’t get thrown out in the playoffs they just let the ticky-tacky penalties slide because they don’t want the outcome of the most important game/series of the players’ lives to be changed by a questionable call… something the nba officials could learn a thing or two about when they cant seem to differentiate between charging and blocking.
Polkpanther, I would like to apologize for making Portnoy steal your shirt. I was the one who posted your link last night from Deadspin Up All Night, joking with cementcyanide that he was clearly going to steal your shirt idea. I just never thought he’d actually do it after we said it. Him and his crafty Jewish ways. I guess he was worried “Barstool Jr.” was gaining momentum and he had to put a stop to it. Anything to make a quick buck thought right El Nose? Oh and ya like scottbaio said, how are those bagman shirts selling?
I tried to buy one of these shirts and it double charged my card. Scumbag.
Hahahah, Preziden merks it again!! Play on Prez, play the fuck on.
Can we get a blog not about the Celtics or Heat or the game. Jesus Christ Portnoy.
Welp here we go again….
I am not even a Celts fan and I still got all precummy when I saw the +8 line from last night’s game… This clip was enough to inspire me to go Moneyline on the Cs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4cZ01fJy0k
Not feeling too bad about the move right now:
44301362-1
6/5/2012
Money Line
410
Basketball – 719 Boston Celtics +390 for Game
Bet: $105 Payout: $515
Looks like it’s time to bend Vegas over and fuck them in the anal again!
P.S… I know $500 ain’t shit to my bookie, but I can certainly use it, so stuff your comments in a sack!
damn portnoy, its nothing knew youre a fraud…ive seen specific jokes stolen from T&R and the sites pretty much a knockoff of deadspin…. but stealing shirt ideas?
your sarcastic comments further prove you knowingly stole the idea.
I even thought about making a tshirt that said good job, good effort as soon as i heard the little shit say it on the tube. Prez, you jacked my idear you scumbag
Buy the shirt from the original. It’s for charity! http://skreened.com/polkpanther/good-efforthttp://www.sportspickle.com/opinion/12851/the-good-job-good-effort-kid-meme-update
Love the response pres. Capitalism at its finest
Last time people called out the Heat this hard…was actually one series ago…Which sparked Wade Dropping 41…Looking back at last year finals we saw the Heat lose game 6 at home…Honestly…its Either the Spurs or Heat going to run off two straight…. I GOT HEAT!
ps have you ever heard of drew doughty or anze kopitar you FUCK WIT. lucky. please. they crushed vancouver. must have had their four leaf clovers. they swept the blues. must have been all those horseshoes they had in the locker room that won those games for them. and then they crushed the coyotes. do i need to keep going or are you getting the gist here? you’re a moron. stick to what you know, whatever that may be.
El pres.. right actor wrong role…. the line comes from We Were Soldiers, not Road House…. i expected more drom a smut peddler
The notion that El Jew would ever donate a penny to a Boston or Miami area cancer hospital is pure comedy. The notion that El Jew will sell any of these rippped-off tshirts is comedy as well
-Ch@v
ps did I call it last night or what? I was the commenter with the foresight to predict El Jew stealing this design. Hilarious to see his you tube videos ripping on Daniel Tosh for stealing ideas.
hah charity, lookin for love in all the wrong places pal.
“Daniel Tosh isnt funny at all” – El Jew. Your tired, predictable hardo attitude used to disguise your jealousy of people/things is perhaps your most disgusting quality as a human
-Ch@v
Hey Ch@v, good job bro. Good effort. Faggot.
Buy the original. It’s for cancer charity, not this clown. http://skreened.com/polkpanther/good-efforthttp://www.sportspickle.com/opinion/12851/the-good-job-good-effort-kid-meme-update
Wait Portnoy, don’t you hold a grudge towards Jenna cuz she didn’t give credit to you and Barstool for launching her career? And now you beg her to admit it? Hypocrisy at its finest
LMFAO at RP, always 100% funny and right
LMFAO even more at elpres, you know he is dead wrong when he starts to comment among us degenerates
PS i donate to DFCI, real talk
by rp on June 6, 2012 at 11:21 am
why is wildmanpete still here? didn’t he get outed for having like 3 different user names? all he does is bitch about everything BSS, and call people old – his cunty act is tired
hey polk panther i’m not rippin on you but what’s with the guilt trip? i’m not buying this shirt regardless but come on. this is smut peddling, let’s not try to church it up with charity.
SO hilarious when hardo Pres blogs “I don’t read the comment section, I am a mogul, blah blah”. Fucking guy trolls the comments more than any of us. #Factoid
-Ch@v
@ ficken-die-hocke no such truer words have been spoken
Who fucking cares about the shirt. It’ll be irrelevant in two days. That said, go Celts!
cowboyssuckdonkeyballs: what time did you place that bet!? I got the Celtics +335 last night when I bet an hour before the game. I felt like a boss winning $335 on my $100 bet. I shouldve put all of my money on the line and won $670…..
Ch@v, then thats wuts up. Prez mudjammin you blog by blog. You dont get it? Thought you were a “barstool legend”
The first comment on this thread is 110% accurate. I am as big a Cs fan as anyone, but this game will be rigged for the Heat to win. Weird how prez knows/admits/bitches about how the NBA is fixed via david stern, yet he would be dumb enough to bet on the 3-2 series leader in an NBA game 6. Doesn’t matter who the teams are, or where its played, that team will lose in this situation 11 out of 10 times.
-Ch@v
Pres you should never, ever go to Vegas with a stack of hundies in your pocket, you are DYING to get ass raped by the Venetian Sports Book. And I don’t think, I absolutely know that you have never placed a bet for more than 20 bucks in your life, and I don’t think, I absolutely know that you have never transacted with a bookie before. You can just tell by the way you talk about it. Heat -1.5 is a cookie line this week, take it and bank it. Vegas is telling you the outcome before the game is played. Prepare your “fix” blog now.
These idiots bickering about the tshirt are ridiculous. I am betting 5 tshirts between all of the sites get sold. Why would anyone buy this shirt now? If the Celtics lose they will never wear it. If the Celtics win and advance to the next series they will never wear it. You should get a sweet tshirt about the Patriots losing in the superbowl…
wentworthhicks: Especially given the Celtics history of always making the series interesting. After stepping up big in game 5 (where they are 9-1 with KG), they tend to fall asleep in game 6 and force a game 7.
PolkPanther actually has a gold star on Deadspin which is very prestigious. All a gold star gets you here is a trip to the gas chambers
again, why anyone would buy one of these shirts after the questionable tactics mentioned in the past(never got it, charged twice, wrong size), is truly mind-bottling
what up BD!
and the Celtics WILL win tomorrow, despite the league’s want for a game 7…C’s by 20
Look, we all know Portnoy is a disgusting jew. However, he does bet several thousand per game. Not that it matters. My average bet is $5500 on football and $2200-$3300 on bball. Everyones definition of a big bet is relative to their own finances/addiction. NBA guys like barkley, jordan and pierce bet 100k per game if caesars will take their action.
Point is, prez is a definitely a cheap jew who wont buy a drink with his sandwich and bag of chips, but he does bet large amounts on sports. I have seen proof of this years ago.
-Ch@v
Taking credit from the common man since___. Well done, Hooky.
5minute just like the mavs/heat series last year right? or even the celts/heat that only went 5 games? yea didn’t think so you fucking loser. your nba rigged shtick is old and played out, if you actually think these games are fixed beyond possibly 1 series 10 years ago then you are absolutely retarded. refs are terrible, have to deal with shittily worded rules, and have player/home court bias’s, nothing more than that.
Pres to answer your previous question yes, yes you can steal air with a nose the size of yours. Now who cares about this shirt idea no one is gonna buy em from either one of you.. Now let me get back to reading up on barcardi facts..
found on a yahoo comment section regarding the article in question (Pres, stealing this t-shirt idea):
“Windowsndoors • 12 minutes ago
I think polkpanther invented the wrap sandwich, right?
Looks like Polkpanther just got Zuckerberged*
RP what up bro, i see youre still the man on barstool, lying the fucking wood bro
To answer your question above_the_clouds, I placed the bet the night before the game so I got the +390 before the line started going down yesterday.
I’M ok with CELTS BEING UNDERDOGS THEY PLAY BETTER THAT WAY. http://98ontheblack.com/2012/06/06/celtics-win-all-heart/
