Making some picks today, let’s see how we do. Lines are from sportingbet.com. Boston @ Philly – Take Philly paying 1.50 I’m not an insider but I think Philly hates Boston and won’t allow a home setback. Dallas @ San Antonio – Take the over: Boundary at 186.5 and paying 1.909 This is not a…
Raymond Felton has just hit a dagger three pointer to put the Bobcats up five with 31 seconds left.
Charlie V scores 48 in a losing effort against the now hated Bucks. An ethereal effort which proves Babcock wasn’t crazy to draft him. ESPN Report Box Score Sports Line Recap
Tankin’ ain’t bad After excruciating losses against Dallas, Atlanta, New Jersey and Cleveland, the season is in Tanking Mode which brought an interesting proposition to mind. Remember that ESPN TV show that followed the Clippers around on a “quest for a playoff spot”. Same idea, different subject: how about a show which follows a team…
The Nowitzki Incident A few days ago Dirk Nowtizki became the 1 millionth player to exploit the Raptors in the dying seconds of a game to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Fait Accompli!

Thrilling stuff really and probably the most meaningful pre-season games ever played – they handed out a trophy for God’s sakes. There were heated battles where Big Country would try invainly…
3-pt challenge Shouldn’t DirkNowtizki have been eliminated in the first round because he really only had 12 points and his moneyball was shot after the clock expired? Who cares, it’s worth noting somewhere on the internet that it did happen. When the 3-pt competiton ended, I didn’t even know that Dirk had won. This couldn’t…
