Bulls +125 at New Jersey
Dallas -2 at Cleveland
Memphis +5.5 vs. San Antonio
Sacramento +9 at New Orleans
Denver -11.5 vs. Seattle

$50 of fun on this Halloween night.

Coach Pants 10-31-2007 06:49 PM

Good luck betting the NBA. I'll pass.

GPK 10-31-2007 08:03 PM

pgardn 10-31-2007 08:09 PM

Too many games.

Betting on NBA, no flippin way.
College FB only.

I will bet the NBA from time to time, it's all gambling to me.

While I love the Bulls announcing team, the NBA is so ridiculous. EVERY play someone is complaining....whining..

I see people have the Nets taking the East.
With Jason Kidd it is possible.

Notice how Kobie
took a back seat and let Jason run the show
in the Olympic trials. Kidd hardly scored at all
but Kidd is the reason the US had no problem
with any team. Guy knows how to run a team.

If he could just dump the wife.

Or slap her...

IrishofNDMan 10-31-2007 10:06 PM

2-2 after the first 4 games, hopefully I can pull this last one off and make a little money.

an absolute horror.

I think the Spurs did not regret losing Kidd
as the wife was made out to be an absolute
nutcase. Kinda like she could really affect
his career in detrimental manner.

Steve Nash is by far a better point than Kidd. Nash controls the entire game (offense and defense). I was lucky enough to see Nash live last year in Cleveland and it was a treat. Kidd is good and does a great job at distributing the ball and getting the players in the right spot.

NBA is awesome. The game is far better than then college game. Betting on it can be fun as well. Good luck to those who do wager on the NBA.

Nba Can Be Easier Than College Football But You Have To Keep Good Records., Have Hit More 8 Teamers On Nba Than Nfl & College.

I believe he already has!

Oh by the way...King James---the Chosen One.....don't ya know.....had a triple Yahtzee last night.

5 TO's,60% from the line and about 30% from the field.



This only one day after proclaiming himself a "great leader" who will not allow the team to fail.....and will let them know when they are not up to snuff on the court as well as off.









:rolleyes:

Coach Pants 11-01-2007 10:11 AM

King James supports the Yankees. Remember he's friends with Clarett.

Actually...I am not a Clarett hater.

I just don't like chosen ones.

I think the Yankees hat is fine....I hope he doesn't mind the Piston hats at home games.

:rolleyes:

oh no...are we going to get 6 months of this nonstop?? Well, Sasha is back so maybe he can put James in his proper 6th man role when he starts dressing with the team again!! And most likely Eric Snow in street clothes last night proved just who is more important to the team...him or Lebron!!

Fine work.

I made a mistake,...he was actually like ALMOST 20% from the field.

I like what Team LeBron said after the SNL airing.....'It would have been funnier if the producers and writers would have followed LeBrons suggestions.'





He knows everything !

As a Celtics fan from way back...I think I will actually watch this game tonight.

Check out KG, Pierce and Ray.

Not as painful as I thought it might be.

Its really good for the NBA that these three got together.

But I dont see it working when they face a team that attacks
the basket. Garnett is a wonderful teammate, but he gets pushed
around bigtime under the boards. Lucky they are in the east.

The Spurs would eat them for lunch in a playoff series.
The perfect type of opponent. No D. Everything revolving around
three players individual talents. If they can mold themselves
into an efficient offensive machine, I will have much more respect
for all 3 as players, and Rivers as a coach.

That being said I hope they make it to the finals in the East.
But I dont see it happening if Wade gets well and Shaq and
Mourning dont get injured somewhere along the way.

Pat...I enjoyed watching them last night. But to call them The Big 3 is a slap in the face to the original Big 3 for the Celtics

Garnett would have fit in with that group.
No doubt.

Bird, McHale, and Parrish. Those were the good old days.

Please... Buck Williams, Daryl Dawkins, Albert King, with a splash of Otis Birdsong and Michael Ray Richardson:D

Otis had a sweet jump shot. (You go that far back... excellent.)
Buck was a football player.

Albert's brother was one of the best.
Bernard was really special but all those injuries.

I go back far enough to have watched Bernard King as a rookie play for the Nets at the Rutgers Athletic Center. He had some substance/alcohol issues, so the Nets traded him to Utah for the infamous Rich Kelley (one of the worst centers in NBA history).

I still say Bernard King had the sweetest touch I ever saw.

Quickest release. Like many in the "big afro" era, he entered the league as a 6' 8" power forward, and retired a 6'6" small forward (same with Julius Erving).

I had a chance to see him late in his career. Was still smooth as silk.

He was a quality actor as well (what was the name of that movie he was in with Gabe Kaplan?).
