    Sorry - didn't see this was brought up in the game thread. Rookie mistake...

    I think it deserves its own thread.

    This makes the game more watchable tonight, for sure.

    Wow. It would take some serious balls for Harkless to hoist a three pointer tonight.

    The Blazers should run a game show in the 2nd quarter.

    "Mo, if you don't shoot, you get 500k. If you take a three and miss it, you lose everything. If you take a 3 and make it, you get $1.2M (up to whatever the tax line is)."

    "They can also make their money back by having a $20 raffle where 10 winners get 1% of what Mo gets." From 0 to 12k.

    Sadly this used to be the case. But lately regulars decided to say F it and have been making new threads for every loose stool they have.

    Way to ruin the surprise, BC. Now our raffle idea is toast, AND there's no way Mo shoots it now.

    It'd be funny if he stupidly shoots a three, misses, then gets benched the rest of the game.

    If he would have attempted a 3....he would have missed. How many times have we seen a professional golfer tighten up and miss an easy ass putt with huge money riding on it. No freaking way would someone like Harkless make it with all that pressure. So why try?

    Hell Dame choked on 2 free throws when he tried to reached 60. And he was HOT at the time.

    The Cavs actually do Deal or No Deal during the break.
