Dame gets the hand off and hits the sideline. He breaks the tackle by Trey Burke and is headed to the end zone for a touchdown!

I bet all 71 points that Noah Vonleh will be under 14 and 14.

 

[stampedehero]

"Vonleh: Man, I wish I could play & party with Dame again. NYC is great but these Knicks suck."
Noah will have under/under the 14. I'll wager 10 points

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Allonzo: “Im not sure where my man is, but the Jazz hands will make coach think im playing defense.”.

Ill say under for 100 points.

 

[riverman]

Noah will have under 14/14 I'll bet 34
"That's a puddle of Noah's sweat...let's see if I can make Dame dribble into it and slip"

 

[swish3]

Noah: I'll stop you on the way to the basket!
Dame: No you won't! Swish!

Under, for 3 points

 

[trailblazer18]

Turner: "Huh, guess it's a good thing Dame has the ball, I'd just turn it over."

Vonleh will be under on both for all 101 points.

 

[barfo]

Burke: "I'm a tiger! Rawr!
Noah: "Cool, a tiger..."
Evan: "What that you say? A tiger, huh?"
Alonzo: "Damn, a tiger!"
Dame: "I don't give a shit if you are a rhinoceros. I'm playing through."

Seems like the smart bet would be under, but since everyone else said under, I'm going over. All points.

barfo

 

[RickyJoe]

all pictured except Dame: Damn, that Damian is fast!

Under for 45 points

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame: I'll stop on a dime and step back J!

Under 45

 

[TBpup]

"Dame burst through the line for a 7 yard gain cradling the ball tightly as the safety closed in for the tackle."

I'll go under for 102 points.

 

[andalusian]

Noah: I think I know how this one ends.

Bet 70 that NV is under 14/14

 

[e_blazer]

Dame: “No, Noah, it’s not a carry because my hand isn’t under the ball. I just find I’m quicker if I pin it against my side.”

All in: Under 14 & 14.

 

[rotary111]

Noah: The only chance we have is to triple team Dame!

Noah goes off for 20 and 20. I bet 0 points.

 

[e_blazer]

Dame: “No, Noah, it’s not a carry because my hand isn’t under the ball. I just find I’m quicker if I pin it against my side.”

All in: Under 14 & 14.

Whew! 16 and 13.

 

[hoopsjock]

Whew! 16 and 13.

By the hair of our chinny, chin, chin!

 

[barfo]

Dammit Noah, why do you hate me so?

barfo

 

[barfo]

But wait a minute - ESPN, at least, has Noah at 16/14. Could it be?

[riverman]

I was watching CJ with that ball on his hip and the clock winding down going....don't do it...don't shoot it! Vonleh was one CJ shot away from breaking the bank

Many of us lost a vast point fortune.

 

[stampedehero]

Dame gets the hand off and hits the sideline. He breaks the tackle by Trey Burke and is headed to the end zone for a touchdown!

I bet all 71 points that Noah Vonleh will be under 14 and 14.

The Day After:::::Oh No!

I demand a forum meetup to rewatch the entire game to count how many rebounds Vonleh actually had.

I demand a recount! ESPN had him with 13 boards last night and added one more this morning. I suspect @barfo of colluding with the Russians in stuff the stat sheet.

Could have been Russia, could have been China, could have been a 400 lb. guy on a bed.

Pretty sure late in the 4th Vonleh got blocked and got the ball back. The box score did not credit him with a rebound (I was watching it like a hawk at that time). I thought that was strange, figured that would still be a rebound, so I'm guessing that play got changed to a rebound.
