    hey wait heyp, what if Rudy does the 'better than', i.e. 'spark off of the bench' bs w/ Jean Claude Vlad Rad?

    That's a b.s. Rudy philosophy in which he sacrifices the starting spot for a poorer player just for later matchups. Maybe you shouldn't count starting spot, but mpg.

    Seweally man. :p

    Errr... what if WW is starting?

    Are we betting on LANGHI's relation on the depth chart to the new guy, or whether or not someone new will be starting?

    Sorry, I know you guys argued this out a couple months ago, but I wasn't paying much attention, then :p.

    Count me in for Crisco's side.

    The only way Damn Lanky is ahead of the rookie small forward is if he's starting, and the chances of that are slim and none.

    Hold your horses there Haypisser. I recall that this was a new SF vs. A THIRD STRING PT GUARD bet. I'm still in even if you are trying to change the original rules you chicken ass wimp [​IMG] So clarify it again. If Lanky is the starting 3, but no 3rd PG for HeyIlovefreakishmismatches, you still lose right? Ah, whatever man, you're gonna lose no matter what. Gasol, Battier, White, Johnson, and yes Radman would beat out Lanky...One of ems got to be a Rock.

    On another note, Pass1 Shoot2 (Phillip right?), is this the original Pass 1st Shoot 2nd? Whatever happened to that CC.com (it was CC.com back then) pickup game that you were organizing I think back in the summer of'99? I remember counting quite a few people on your email list. I was pretty hyped too, then you dissapeared. Did anything ever happen? You know, I bet you it'd be a good time to do it this summer considering CC.Net's expansion since then.

    Haven, Achebe

    The bet is the first sentence....mmkay.

    I am not explaining it more. Either join the bet or not. The extremely unlikely Radman sparkplug behind Langhi means...I win.

    Guys, Walt is going to start now that we don't have to hand Shandon a starting role anymore....you poor, poor fools.

    Put me on the list against the tall white guy. If Langhi is our SF, thing have gone terribly wrong or right.

    2 questions
    1) What happens if we draft a Euro and he has to stay in Europe because of an old contract? If we keep all of the picks, I bet that is what is going to happen. No bet.

    2)If Walt starts who wins?

    Kim, the bet hasn't changed, I'm just trying to write it in one sentence. However, if you guys don't get your SF better than Langhi, and I don't get my 3rd PG, only I lose....not the rest of my side.

    This bet started in Feb...before Shandon started flaking on us. Only Crisco would take the bet at that time. I made it harder for me to win, to get more poor poor fools to bet against me.

    However, in the spirit of getting more people to join my side, they aren't betting on the 3rd PG...just me! OK.

    besides, there will be a 3rd point guard...he will replace Rogers on the roster.

    woohoo,

    We have landed Francis3.

    Now all we need is someone on my side to counter oeilpere!!!

    I nominate thacabbage.

    You guys do know that Walt is starting and Rudy will give Langhi his shot first (unless we land Joe Joe or actually pull a trade for SAR).

    This is a very easy bet. The SF people are GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

    Join me!!! Come on thacabbage, we will pair you against oeilpere, meaning you get to change his moniker if Rudy gives Langhi his shot first!!!

    What if the rookie small forward is behind Lanky on the depth chart at the beginning of the season, but surpasses him later on in the season? In that case you should lose the bet,right?

    tpl is out of the bet, too.

    The bet must execute on Oct 31st without "what if" whining.

    You guys are out of the bet, forever. I don't care. It is my bet. I'll move this bet back to just Crisco and I.

    Look....If we trade Mobley for Joe Joe and JJ goes on a Bias coke binge and dies...I win...because Rudy picked a SF who did not beat out Langhi on Oct 31st.

    There is no "what ifs"...there are no getting back into the bet. You guys are out. Unless you want to win me over by starting a new thread (each) and challenging me to a bet that my side likes....you are out.

    I cannot keep changing this bet for your What Ifs. Start a thread and state the bet. If you do not state it exactly like my first sentence with NO WHAT IFS including death and injuries, I will not take the bet on behalf of my team....p*****s.

    If Gasol is selected and does not beat out Langhi for whatever reason, you lose. If White is selected and primarily platoons the 4th spot, you lose.

    If Langhi is off the bench in the 1st game of the year, before you SF.....you lose!

    Explain to me how else we can do a bet. This is not a debate. This is a bet with no grey areas. You are in the bet or not!!! How does the bet work without whining come Oct 31st.

    You two and bigboymumu are out of the bet. Especially if you respond to this thread again. Start your own thread to make a bet.

    Walt will be the starter, Langhi will back him up, and I, apparently, am on Hey P's side.
